Few pics of my first car.

Some of you may recognise the car as i bought it from my brother (MK1 Clio from the site) He bought a new car so I decided to buy it from him.

I bought it from him with this done;

Boot smoothed,
fully colour coded,
tints (by pentagon),
powerflow ss cat back exhaust,
lowered 40mm,
DTM mirrors,
tinted rear lights,
front fog lights,
set of MTX thunder components,
7" screen and PS2,
and a clio 16v dash top.

And after owning it for a week :p I have bought;

a set of clio cup 15" replica wheels (prima racing),
a set of Michelin BF Goodridge tyres,
set of Mk1 phase 1 16v sports seats,
Pioneer bluetooth HU,
Alpine typer R Kevlar sub,
Alpine amp,
Cobra alarm.

I'm also planning on changing the back box to a round 3" 16v version, and a set of rear Mk1 16v phase1 lights.

That is probably the end of the modding for me ( apart from keeping it mint, as he did) :grinning:
And in all fairness its not a bad wee first car I think! :grinning:
altho if anyone has any suggestions, post away, as id be interested to hear what you have to say. (y)

Cheers,

Jonny.

my suggestion would to make sure you don't drive it with the wheels fitted with only 2 nuts like in the pics. couldn't be safe.

Looks much better on those rims, needs to be lower though to make it look tip top.

A nice wee bit of delocking would suit it well too IMO

Looks like a nice clean first motor, all the best with it.

I'd prefer it slammed on the black rims!

Good luck with it (y)

thanks all for the comments, I liked the black rims aswell though I also like the new ones alot better the pictures dont do them much justice,and for the lowering it sits quite well at the moment need to get a picture of it on level ground rather in my driveway and also to lower it 60mm I have to get the arches rolled as the tyre already scrubs at the moment so will leave it for a couple of months untill I ather more ££ . Also got the rest of MK1 16v interior fitted last nite so will post up pictures later of it . Just waiting on all the other parts arriving now to complete it .


cheers,
jonny:laughing:

Thanks lad, you probably saw the brother driving it with the black wheels on it, hes driving it until he gets his new one on the road. Just need to sort out the exhaust next. Am pleased with it myself for a first car I think whats done to it is subtle and not too in your face.

Tidy motor lad. It looks well with either sets of wheels on it imo. Nice and subtle

Cheers, Yea thats my aim to keep it nice and subtle, Although when the lights and exhaust get changed i think thats me finished.

pictures of the new seats should be up tonight, certainly helped the look of the inside and kept it subtle .
