after 2 corsas i decided upon a change, i had a golf gti 16v loved it but clutch and head gave in so i bought this little number:




ph1 clio 172 and i absolutely love it, most already done for me:
weitec hcon gt coilies, pro-speed decat-back, ktec strut brace and engine cover, induction cone,
but my plans are to lower it a bit more and do a bit of spraying like my photoshop:


what you guys think?

Love it mate, prefer them to the PH2's by a mile. I wouldn't mind one of these myself.

well an UPDATE!!!!!

first up was to change that filter back to a standard item, wot a difference, sounded more racey than the roar altho the roar was amazing there was no more flat spot,

then the gearbox and shafts went, tamping! so new gearbox and shafts from renault:



in went the shiny new gearbox, all was dandy.

my mate was part exing his clio which just so happened to be same colour as mine so we swapped mirrors so he could get a good price for it, this wasn't an issue as since i've had the car ive always had the intention of having the wheels, mirrors and the purchase of some ph2 bits sprayed and fitted. so the temporary lime green mirrors:



i did a photoshop when i first had the car as to how i'd like it to look as you may have seen previously:



so...

i decided after seeing my mate's (b33fy123) ph2 side strips that i wanted a set, so purchased some off here and some bullets. Then dropped car off monday night and then got it back yesterday evening, took a pic on my mums lumix this morning well happy with the finish:


current plans for the car before show season and the 'proper' summer comes in

*FK hubcentric spacers 25mm front
*FK hubcentric spacers 15mm rear
*KTEC brake setup (brembo max disks,ferodo ds2500s, braided lines,dot51 fluid)
*ph2 tailgate or smooth badge holes on mine and then get stickers or new renault sport badge for the back
*FK LED rear lights
*wind down the coilies
*spray inside of lights matt black

comments welcome!

Looking good the Brembo HC's and Ferrodo DS2500 were one of the best purchases for mine!

Just out interest do you know how much you paid for the Near side drive shaft?
