i had a project thread but never got any response/ideas or critism so im making a new 1just for the clio this time.
this is my girlfriends car but she hasnt got a lisence yet so im driving it for the time being
when she bought it it had:
laguna front splitter

since iv been going out with her iv done the following
xenon bulbs (pretty pathetic,might get 8k h.i.d kit after crimbo)
service kit (air filter,fuel filter,oil filter,spark plugs)
x2 rear wheel bearings(still need to get fitted)
removed the chav spoiler, replaced with a clio sport 172 one
clio sport 172 alloys(need to get sprayed and fitted)
seat covers(awaiting delivery)
im looking into replacing the backbox,spraying the alloys rover hurricane grey,roof,spoiler,bumper and rub strips allpainted rover hurricane grey.
not sure what else just anything that pops up really. sorry if the pics are not in order im just copying them over.
comments/ideas and critism welcome

Looks pretty clean, love the look of these cars, best hatchback around imo. If I ever get another hatchback it will be this model but the 172/182 in the same colour or that nice royal blue.
