SaxSpeed is on a distinguished road
Default

Clio Progress
Since the bonnet of the saxo fliped up and went through the windscreen and crushed the roof in i sold all the parts off it and got enuff money to buy this clio, picked it up for next to nothing with 70k on the clocks. Completely standerd. Old Saxo was nice for a standerd 1.1 when i got it a few month ago first pics of it.



Rite no point Cryin about it will get another one soon
So the clio...

Alloys
Not great alloys but since its a only 1.4 and they were destroyed i gave them a quick refurb £15 and keeping the small alloys to keep the bottom end power.

Window Stickers
Had some left over from the saxo so i fired them on this, cost £2.




De-Wiper
Pretty much same as the saxo but had to drill the hole out bigger and used the gromit that is behind the wingmirror

Tint Lights
Bought some tint spray off ebay £8 and sprayed the rear lights and side repeaters, just pop the repeaters off and take the 1 thumb screw out of each back light, sprayed and then refitted



Spoiler
This was easy, bought it off ebay, £20 primerd then sprayed white, unbolt standerd plastic and bolt on the new spoiler



Dials
Fitted some White dials, pretty complicated to do, i wont bore you lol



Also just orderd 60mm drop springs, blue L.E.D Dash bulbs, Aero Wiper Blades, Heat resistant engine paint, caliper paint, H4 501 Xenon Bulbs, Gear knob and loads more also going to make a short shift linkage, will let you know how it goes

Rite got the back windows tinted


Engine Bay got a clean and a paint


New wipers and flushed bonnet ( The pics of half way through i went back and filled and painted it again


Will get more pics of the side of it later to show the 60mm drop and red wheel nuts

Bonnet Flush
Finaly got it finnished






Boot Flush
Epoxy resined the holes and then filled sanded and gave it a respray



Soundsystem

Fitted 2 x fusion ( crap i usualy get vibe ) Subs amplifier and wireing

Alloys
Next up i bought a set of 17x7" Multyspokes and tyres brand new and took a few photos






Done Loads more just cant be botherd going into it, eg. made a short shift linkage ( and no i didnt cut the lever lol) got the alloys to paint black, swap my homemade end can for a diff one, all bumpstripes getting painted gloss black

Then Got a Phone call from a boy asking me to swap my Clio, for a VTR Converted to Vts Engine with Newmans Ph3 Cams and Remaped, how could i resist
