End Silver Westcoast/ Clio S Update - P40/41
Well i thought i'd make a little progress thread! I bought this Westcoast last September, 1200 pounds it cost me! It had done 78,000 miles and the only mods were (can't really call it a mod) but a universal air filter 'Max Power' lol! Was on a tight budget, Lexus lights appeared for a slight period but were soon removed! Heres how it was when i first got it!
Soon snapped up some VTR alloys for 100 pounds! Got ripped off tbh, needed 3 new tyres!
Ooops! 
Sorry for all the pictures! Thats about it for the mods tbh!
- Grill replaced for mesh
- VTR alloys 
- De cat, sportex racing tube, sportex 3 inch performance backbox!
- Debadged and resprayed boot!
- Lowered 40mm all round!
- Grill resprayed black!
- Silver mirror caps bonded on
Thanks for lookin, comments welcome

Looks real nice mate, love the smoothed badges.
I'd go for smoked Foglights next, also maybe try to get the exhaust hanging a little better.

If you want the black/silver theme, then angels would maybe freshen it up.
Must:
Black mesh the grill
Sort the exahaust
Then you've got a nice motor to work with, guessing your going to go with the black/silver theme?
Angels/Smoked headlights & Indicators
Smoked rear jewkes
Smoked fogs
Black alloys
Just to get you started.

Sounds good How much would it cost for alloys to be refurbed and sprayed? Never really looked into it! Yeah black and silver theme, i was gonna spray my mesh black the other day but my mate advised against it :/

Nah, spray is black, looks so much neater.
Refurb and respray... Would be about, 100-150 if done by someone on here, profesionally sprayed, would be 200.. Powercoated would be more.
PM JasonGTI
He does MINT refurbs for about 100... If the deal is stil going, he is doing cheap for so long, then his price is 150 again.
He'll sort you out for sure.
