Finally some decent pics of the car as she currently stands!!!
taken today, excuse the dirt, only cleaned her saturday...
plans left to do stand as remove the rear adjusters and adjust the front coilovers by 10-15mm tops... but that will have to wait until after this last year of uni as we use it for shopping... and the gold bits to do as said before, the front bumper wants smoothing and calipers etc painting black...
I will stick some edits on here of what the completed car should look like once they are done!
opinions as always guys!

Need some silvervisions mate! Plans sound good though.
The cs sticker in the first picture annoys me how its not central. That's just me being picky

haha I will get another one at some point and replace it... but I want to make it even less central and add a I<3CS sticker at the side of it...
but until then I try and ignore it lol
waiting on someone to notice my request and do the edits (just needs the smoothing doing now, I did the majority before lol)
KChristmas said:Needs a wash
only had one saturday
but I will be giving it a good going over some point next week with the Auto Finesse awesomeness 
thanks
it is going to be epic!!Opinions....stickers, green bits, bonnet bra and tow strap gone.
Especially the tow strap. It's not a track car.
green bits are going, stickers are only CS stickers
and bonnet bra and tow strap are staying still not finished
This would look nice as a sport rep to finish it off
keeping non-sport front end
may get sport rep skirts at some point though 
they are going -.-

STILL not sorted the doors and rear bumper yet? :nono:
That would be my first port of call without hesitation.
Looks like a McDonalds car park wet dream. :dead:

Wheels need spacing out id say, especially rears. Same story as my car gotta say, although i hate tow straps and bonnet bras, it all seems to suit your car. I like it. Much better then what it started out as. Very nice.

When? They should never have been there!
It's not a track car
It doesn't need to be imo, and it suits the car just fine
as soon as i get the money in january these will be the first thing sorted! I have a door but it needs finishing before I can fit it

I would have to raise the car to space the wheels as they are just inside the arches atm mate
january time! I need monies first...

I could do that now and leave the project 90% done.... (Would remove green and sort door/bumper before sale) or...... I could finish and keep what will be a brilliant car until I can afford something with a bigger engine not being sarcastic mate, just rather finish it and keep it while I save up to get a different car

glad your getting rid of the green, really doesn't go with black and gold. Not a fan of the exhaust either a ktec stealth would be far better imo. Lose the tints as well would make it look better
right got some edits credit to MWright on the front smoothing! I did the colour change so not the best tbh....
anyway!
how she will look from the front:
debating between this...
and this... (though this has to be my favourite!)
and how she will look from the back:
then just a couple of the number plate in the standard positioning but bumper still smoothed... (think i will definitely move it tbh)

pics? I'm sure the only difference between my standard bumper and the standard phase 3 is the lower grille... the clio campus (sure that is the phase 4) is not that appealing to me tbh, I don't think they looked that nice...
also as mentioned mate I don't want a sport front end :/

don't smooth it. They look majorly gash. Just get the rub strips colour coded.
just bear in mind the paint will be done properly...
and tbh I'm going for this effect just having kept the diamond and my splitter... (and obvs my wheels etc)
okay so even minus smoothing...
(I'm crap at colour coding in PS so haven't colour coded the front in the pics...)
Scuse the crude shop.
I'm not sure, needs something to break it up IMO.
that is what I am aiming for with the smoothing... just placement of the number plate to break it up is the only thing I am not sure on... though I think it looks best at the bottom, what would you say to break it up?

I think spacers should be your priority before fannying about with the front bumper personally. You've got some awesome wheels there and they're hidden away in the arches! There's easily room for 15mm back and 10mm front if you're worried about rubbing the arches. Although I do think that smoothing would look good if you keep the front diamond, I like the photoshop done by heez. Forget doing bullets, badges etc in gold. Just leave the wheels to stand out on their own. Or alternatively; lose the clio badge and just have the rear diamond and the bit behind the front diamond in gold. It was way too busy with all that green going on before, don't do the same with the gold.
I think MrHardie had it right leaving the vent but if it was done on a PH3 bumper it would be proper! So basically the below but with Diamond and vent.
Anyone got a link to more pictures to this or something? Not seen it before..
seriously dude as I said I would have to raise the car up to put spacers on... can't get my finger between the side wall and arches with it as is (and my fingers aren't 15mm thick, if I were to space it out it would have to be raised enough so there was clearance between the top of the tyre and the arches
and I'm losing half the colour:black ratio as it is removing half the green back to black... surely the edit of the rear and the little round the front badge wouldn't be that bad?

Pictures must be deceiving as it looks like there's loads of room. Not a fan of the gold bumper insert on the back; it's your car though, you don't tend to do things in half measures reallyseriously dude as I said I would have to raise the car up to put spacers on... can't get my finger between the side wall and arches with it as is (and my fingers aren't 15mm thick, if I were to space it out it would have to be raised enough so there was clearance between the top of the tyre and the arches

I'll make a list of what I would do if it was a Black/Gold theme
- Back bumper insert = Pearl Black
- Bullets = Gold
- Front/Back Diamond & "Clio" on boot= Gold
- Front Diamond Background = Black
- Spacers for the rear wheels
- Colour code the front bumper inserts or 182/172 Front w/ meggy splitter
- Colour code door handles
- Gold calipers and Black rear drums
- Remove green stickers
- Straighten exhaust and get a surround
- Good clean

This. These sound more like the plans I'd be going inline with if it was my car. Would look smart and not over the top.
