finally got some pics

[AntEstill]

finally got the DSLR out and got some pics while it was nice weather.
got a k and n filter on, new back box on it, and restored all trim and bumpers, aswell as some love hearts over the rear view mirror

what else does anyone recommend?

 

[-JB-]

The scrap yard.

 

[Reyes]

The scrap yard.

ouch

 

[Iceberg172]

new bonnet and rear tyres or save your money and take the aforementioned advice!!! lmao

 

[BIFCAIDS]

new bonnet n a respray in the same colour if you like it in that colour, lower it abit (scrap that) lower it ALOT n put some turbines on it clear side repeaters

 

[AlexS]

Tidy little first car that, I would just stick with the alloys you've got maybe lower it and leave it at that. If your desperate from more speed you could strip it but I doubt you would shed much from a mk1.
You could do all sorts of things like valver wings and bonnets but personally I would just use it as an NCB builder, should still be fun lowered on some decent rubber.

im young and a student, it has to stay with the money im on at the moment :/

Yeah. So why are people so fvcking harsh. Its a little annoying

 

[BIFCAIDS]

yea i must amit that was well harsh that comment

 

[AntEstill]

im getting 40 mil springs on the front and taking the torsion bar to 2 soon, and next week the smoothed bonnet is coming, (hopefully, depending on how much my petrol funds is drained by it) and a grill is going in tomorrow hopefully, its all hopes at the moment,

and its not bad for a 500 quid car really is it?

 

[Guppy]

not at all!!

all clios need loving

 

[AlexS]

Just ignore the comments, i would much rather drive that than a car bought for me by mummy and daddy. Its hardly a shed, looks quite tidy and the oem alloys set it off well. My first car was a H reg 1.0 Polo, everyones got to start somewhere.

 

[Reyes]

not at all!!

all clios need loving

+1 As its French, and needs love to continue with life

 

[CODGEY 182]

Very tidy example and a good first car mate,

I like the lowering and turbines idea and maybe a colour code but as you say its all money.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

yea exactly ignore the harsh comments i know what its like to be a stood lol

 

[AntEstill]

cheers for the support mate i mean this is my first car, im not gonna go and buy a supercar am i, i mean thats a little over the top i know but it gets the idea across.

 

[Fagan]

The scrap yard.

c**t

 

[.Gem.]

Tis not bad for a first car!! Lots better than mine lol! bless it!

lowering ftw!

 

[Reyes]

cheers for the support mate i mean this is my first car, im not gonna go and buy a supercar am i, i mean thats a little over the top i know but it gets the idea across.

Exactly, fair play for making the effort. Turbines, Slam it and colour code sounds wicked

 

[Reyes]

The scrap yard.

c**t

+1:approve: Hate people like that

[AntEstill]

i can get mechanic jobs done for the cost of the parts, my girlfriends dad is a mechanic so all jobs are done for free, ive got a mate who has a clio same as mine and can get me cheap parts (the bonnet and springs, also got me the backbox)
i could do with a respray, few key scratches and stuff from some people who cant keep there hands to themselves :/

 

[Michael172]

Alrite Son didnt expect to see you on here.

Cars looking good !

Ignore the comments people give you there are some shithead members, most are pretty cool and helpful. lots of stuff you can do with it tho, im sure you could source a cheap 1.8 16v engine somewhere, valver bonnet etc etc. new rsi seats or valver seats, steering wheel and dash. etc

 

[Merk]

f**k YOU JB! COME ON LET'S GET A "HATE JB" CREW STARTED!



End of the day mate, as long as you're happy with the car that's all that matters.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

my mate shes just bought a Ka n its got cateraxe in one headlight n its all different blues lol that was 1200 lol she should of just pulled her skirt up tbh lol

 

[AntEstill]

thanks for the support guys i really appreciate it

 

[AntEstill]

alright mike aint seen you in ages, il come to hull sometime soon in it, probs this summer, could do with some flowers for the lass on the cheap yeah? haha

 

[AlexS]

Turbines + lowered will be a good shout, and if you buy the parts secondhand you can generally sell them on for what you paid for them when you come to sell the car.

 

[Reyes]

f**k YOU JB! COME ON LET'S GET A "HATE JB" CREW STARTED!



End of the day mate, as long as you're happy with the car that's all that matters.

Got any pics of it?:rasp:

Also, if i had a MK1, i'd slam it as low as the torsion bar lets you.. just keep it practical at the same time though

 

[AntEstill]

yeah theres too many speed bumps around here, proper annoying, i might drop it to 4, see what its like then

 

[AntEstill]

colour coded on the sides or smoothed off?

 

[christian rea]

4 is nice they have good clearance in mk1s my first car was a m k1 loved its looks very coll but unfortunatly couldnt afford the insurance as it was a 1.4 so had to sell and get a 1.2 mk2 phs 1 didnt like those looks as much


nice dark green though.

youll be able to practise working on cars as it your first car aswell and easy to work on

enjoy driving

 

[mini-valver]

Get some second hand springs, cheap set of turbines and some half decent tyres then just enjoy it for what it is mate! Tidy first car, ignore all the haters.

Not like he's driving a veyron is it. A 1.6 Clio and a scooter are hardly the tools with which you can look down on people.

You know the score Merkishhh.
JB FTL!

nice wee car mate.
ust go along with the things people are saying, some worthwhile ideas / mods for the car :approve:

 

[The Boosh!]

are K&N air filters supposd to sit like that on the mk 1 engines ? looks abit "odd" to me...

Good first car though - alot better than my N reg fiesta beemer

spot on

 

[Hixle]

Reminds me of my first car, nice one

Lowered on turbines is a great shout, simple and effective! I wouldn't even think about a respray etc, with being a first car an' all.

RT body coloured front/rear bumpers?
