Clio 1.2 Cup - Finished. (Half Decent Pictures at last! 56k - I wouldn't)

[@rt]

Well, I've not given the rep a clean in a month or so as the GF has gone to Uni so I spend my weekends with her in Leicester. This weekend she came home, so I made the most of it and cleaned the car! (It's not 100% finished, but there or there abouts on the outside!)

Also thought I'd go and find some locations. I'm no pro, I got a bridge camera the other week and havn't really had a chance to use it, so these are my first propper pic's. Some havn't turned out too bad! Pleased with the first one the most I think:

Plans in next few weeks:

Space rear wheels another 5mm per side.
Cobra Daytonas from Nick172cup.

Plans to be completed by FCS next year:

Uprated shocks
Colour coded engine bay (Make the old sewing machine look pretty)
Stripped rear
Half cage


C+C welcomed, Suggestions are also very welcome.

It's off to Fred@BTM on Thursday for a Service and the Aux + Cam Belt change, So should be running pretty good after then.

May upload some more pictures later tonight, took loads, just sorting through them!

looks ace

 

[NathJ]

Looks really nice, what spacers have you got on at the moment? Anyone know where to get some hubcentric spacers?

 

[jenic]

Looks mint, its how i always wanted my 1.2 to look, until it blew up

 

[Blackstorm]

Nice Motor

 

[rctempire]

Looks excellent.

Whats the estimation of the cost you spent on it making it a rep?

 

[Paul.M]

Does look spot on that

Got 25mm B-Centric fronts and 5mm rears, which are up for sale if your interested lol

Anddd I'd recomend KAM Racing for hubcentrics.

Oh and thanks :rasp:

Cheers! Well the sport kit + cup spoiler was on it when I got it. But I've spent around £1700 on little bits and bobs and wheels + exhauts and what not! would of been far more if I would of had to get the sport kit + pay for getting them sprayed.



Thanks for all the other comments too!

You've done a brilliant job with that

 

[jesus]

Needs xenons

 

[.GAZ.]

Looks good mate, i'd take the rear tints off tho!

 

[Brett]

Realy like that.

 

[tricky89]

[alex91621]

[Ben]

Looks ace that, I think some xenons would finish it off nicely

 

[Aluco]

Ace rep !

 

[@rt]

Thanks for all the comments! I think it's come a long way recently.

Offft, wouldn't want to weigh down the front end with heavy xenons lol, Nah, I just like the cup look, I dont think having the little xenon bit is worth £250/£300, not at the moment anyway!

Aaaand if my plans for a half cage go ahead, the tints will be coming off. I've gone off them alot recently, just can't bring myself to take them off yet when I paid £230 for them earlier this year!

Also on my future plans bit, I forgot to mention a decat from prospeed once it's had it's MOT in a few months, so yeah, that will be coming soon.

 

[greglesueur]

looks the biz, now it looks like one make it go like one

 

[nozza89]

Thanks for all the comments

 

[blondie.x]

ahh, i really like it. the colour combo is great.

 

[Arron2]

very nice:approve:

 

[Thrust-Rated]

crackin pics, nice location, £230 for tints? i paid £90 for mine, proper professional job too.

hope it makes the calender,

there was someone on here before with a cyclone rep iirc, had the engine conversion too, i think he wrote it off tho

Thankyouuu! Yeah Cyclone Blue + Anthracite were a match made in heaven, if I do say so myself!

Thanks mate! Yeah the tints were well expensive, has security film on the front two though which is supposed to make it harder to smash, but it's quite a thick film and apparently hard to apply hence the price.

Cheers,lol, I dont think it has a hope it hells chance of making the calender!

Yeah I think there has been 1 other cyclone rep, but it's deffinatly not around anymore. Shame really, would of been good to get some pics of both together!

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Rep or not, thats a nice looking car regardless. Nice to see someone using a bit of good taste to modify their 1.2 aswell. I'd imagine it makes a cracking run around seeing that it'd use next to no fuel, has low road tax and is cheap to insure.

 

[Ian_182]

You've made a good job of that i think...

 

[Curley]

Your car WANTS xenons.

Alot of time and money gone in to this, i hope it gets that engine conversion i always mention, even if its a few years down the line!

 

[adi]

wherd u get the paint from? i cant seem to find it anywhere am i gonna have to go to a propa paint shop n get ripped off lol

 

[Ali]

Nice. Xenon's would finish it off nicely.
