Well I have had this car about two years now and over the time I have made afew changed. When I bought the car it had colour coded bumpers and Renault Clio alloys ?? for some reason, K & N Filter, smooth boot and 5" back box.
First thing I did was remove the alloys anf get a set of 100+ 15"s cheap and cheerfull as thats all I could afford at the time.
I also replaced the exhaust for a magnex 6x4" oval which I think looked alot better.
Next came the interior I replaced the standard wheel with an apache momo one that I got cheap of the bay (£50)
A cheap set of calibra leathers and TV Sunvisors. Me and my mate also kocked up some speaker pods.
The car stayed like that for about a year and then I started to buy more stuff for it which included an airdam front bumper,irmscher grill, badboy bonnet, gsi skirts, smooth scuttle and a custom rear bumper with a number plate recess added.
The car is currently lowered by 40mm front and back on standard shocks but im looking to get a better suspension set up soon as its very bouncy at the moment lol.
next on the list is to sort out the bonnet as the badboy brows are starting to bubble with rust really bad. I could do with fitting the grill abit better aswell and remove the holes.
I want to replace the allows with either softstars or speedlines and im also looking into an engine conversion not sure yet which route to go down small or big block.
Let me know what you think good or bad.
thanks for looking

The car is smooth and subtle some deep dish wheels would suit it a treat.

That's lovely, my first car was Frost blue and I have always had plans to build a Frost Blue C20LET at some point, when I graduate and have some spare cash

Heres a pic of the rev counter that I added to the heater vent. It was a quick job as you can see just needed somewhere to put it. I have some mesh that I am going to cut and use. But its fine for now.
