Clio non sport 1.2 - first car, Pic heavy

[LaurenTayla33]

Bit of an overdue thread, its changed quite a bit since i bought it.. im actually nervous to put this up because i know most people on here like to stick to the OEM thing, got butterflies, i just wanna say that it might not be your cup of tea, but i've worked pretty hard on this car and its been on such a tight budget (i get paid £200 a month!), It's my first car and constructive critisism will be welcomed, just some people on here can be pretty intimidating! :dapprove:

Anyway, i'm 18, this is my first car, he's called Milo and.. this is what it looked like when i bought it! It only had 3 matching wheels (bag of poo)

Gave him an intense clean!

Sprayed the wheels myself BMW Sparkling graphite. and bought a few bits like a tow strap and silly dustcaps etc...

Tinted my windows and lowered it 40mm on FK springs

Got some cleaner metal pressed plates and pink laminex for my fogs, i wanted pink on it, im so boyish i needed a bit of girlyness! and had some photos with the other half! PINK CLIOSPORT.NET STICKERS!

I somehow managed to end up backwards in a ditch, no damage but i had a scratch on my bumper- gave me reason to get rid and upgrade! (go on with all the women driver jokes ) Goodbye smurf, hello little pink dice..

Also bought myself a birthday present.. well mummy did from birthday money!

And some HID's!

Now.. bigger change, bought some wheels.. I KNOW most of you wont like them, but as nice as clean oem clio's are, i want to stand out a bit as im at shows alot and all that..

Got to play with a fisheye lens!

and then these came...

I was being pretty impatient so.. overnight it came together!

... Well sort of.. (next morning)

It took a while to get the bloody things on because of seized crossthreaded bolts..

But finally.....

And then i had some deliveries!

Straight away.. it wasnt staying normal plastic colour.. (yeah i did it in my bedroom.. it was raining)

And decided i wanted pink calipers.. and pink smooth bullets..

More photos.. :rasp: This is how he sits now <3

Thats it for now, but to come... is..

-More Lows..
-Real BBS..
-The bodywork is not great, its good for a 11 year old car whos had his fair share of knocks and bumps but its got some laquer peel, He's only done 68k so hes still got plenty of life in him!
- A sport front bumper is on its way with wings and some sideskirts and im also going to invest in a cup spoiler!
.. And because sport only comes in Monaco blue, my car is looking a bit patchworky..
SO.. its going in for a vinyl wrap! Possibly satin grey or satin white.

Thanks for reading

Saw the pink spray can near the RS Grill, shat a brick.

Pretty nice project that from £200 a month.

p.s. don't the side indicators get on your nerves? Try find some clear ones at a scrappy.

[DanEdser]

nice car, i hope the HIDs are high beam? HID low beams will blind everyone if not in a projector headlight... :/

Thanks pal

nice car dude, i hope the HIDs are high beam? HID low beams will blind everyone if not in a projector headlight... :/

They are HID low beams but, they're set right to the floor and they're not too bright, plus getting real projector xenons in the near ish future

 

[DanEdser]

cool, but if you get pulled over and they are in a bad mood, you will most likely get fined for HIDs in reflector headlights, so get the projectors ASAP

the projectors also look the dogs bollox!

 

[DanEdser]

i like the wheels as well, im gonna get a set when i get some money!

Thaaanks! Not sure when there'll be much progress! Should be wrapped before Christmas though! shall do!

 

[danzel]

I wish all girls were like you. My last other half's take on a car was "I don't care about it at all, if it can drive then that's all it matters. I don't know why you're so into it"

Car's looking good too!

 

[LaurenTayla33]

I'd rather not make it from A to B but look cool than look s**t and have a reliable car ! haha thanks

 

[Howell]

I like that alot! Astra's nice too.

Top Job!

 

[EssexClio]

Liking the style, very nice

 

[Stu-]

Decent progress. But I hate those tow straps!

 

[-J-]

Looks nice, come along way since you got it, and on £200 a month even more impressive.

 

[LaurenTayla33]

Thankyouuu, i love my towstrap, Yeah its been mad saving and birthday money etc, its taken ages so i never made a thread, not until i had at least made noticable progress! Almost saved for my wrapping now, satin white, cant wait

 

[Peteappo]

very tidy on a budget that tight. well done keeep up the good work

 

[-Danman-]

I actually really like this but as said before, clear side repeaters will make a big difference. Are those wheels 15"? And are you going to do anything else pink?

P.S the pink fogs look awesome, makes a nice change to the yellow ones everyone else seems to have

 

[Kane.]

Nice

 

[Justin BBP]

Very nice and on a budget as well

Thanks Dan
Yeah clear side repeaters will be coming soon, the orange ones really do get on my nerves -.-
Yeah the wheels are 15's, with alot of stretch- scared to say that, alot of people hate stretch! they're smaller than 14's with tyres so filling the arch is difficult!
i doubt i'll do anything else, until its been wrapped and i would really like to get some bright pink BBS or banded steels
And, the fogs work 10x better pink than they do normal colour!

Thanks everyone else

 

[Peteappo]

get some banded steels and drop it a bit futher

 

[Harpham]

Looks good.

How is it a boy though?! It has pink all over it. :rasp:

Yeah can't wait to see what it looks like wrapped I think you should go for banded steelies and have the deep dish lip pink a full set of wheels in pink might be a bit of an overkill

 

[LaurenTayla33]

Some boys like pink!

 

[LaurenTayla33]

Well the car will be white, white lip on the banded steels with pink inside.. Or the other way round, omnom we shall seeeee!

 

[harrywoolfenden]

love this car!

 

[DanEdser]

Some boys like pink!

maybe the benders yeah...

also i dont know why someone said get some banded steels, dont see the point in them, they still look s**te but are wider :L

(just my opinion)

 

[Dern]

sorry if i've missed it but what coilovers you got on?

always amazed by girls into cars! there's none round near me so hats off!

I never said what they were, they're just TaTechnix, because I wasn't bothered about performance, just wanted lows haha aww, I think they're a pretty rare species but.. We do exist!

decent! i wanted some TA one's but couldn't find any so just got some springs :/ same, just for looks really

And yeah all the women into cars round here probably have bigger man equipment than me.

They took me ages to find! Got them eventually though, be persistent
Flol, awkward!

 

[Dern]
