Coyle's Clio, Albi Blue 197 '08

[coyle]

Hi guys, new to the forum, but finally took some pics of the car so thought id share them.
Always liked my cars, I had a Fiat Stilo for a few years, which I had featured in max power, went down the euro route with it:






I then swapped that for a MK1 Audi S3, Completely standard, Had that tidied up, full spray, abit of rust removal, facelift lights, but mainly focused on the engine this time..






It was running 269.4bhp when I finished, but the age was showing and it wasn't as reliable as I wanted. I only had it for 6months but traded it in 2 weeks ago for a 08plate 197..

08 plate, 1 owner, 15,000 on the clock

Since having it i've done a few subtle bits.

Debadged, renault sport exhaust tips, painted callipers (not done fronts yet), new plates, renault sport steering wheel trim, indicator bulbs and renault tunepoint.

Pics:














No massive plans for it, i'd like to space the rear wheels out to sit on the arch line better, maybe 20mm.
Gloss black rear diffuser and painted renault badges front and back. I'd like anthracite but don't know if the rear diffuser would look out of place then?

Nice to meet you all :thumbup1:

Get yourself a metal footrest off Karl (TwingoGeekeo) worthwhile little 'mod'.

Anthracite would stand out a mile, they look good gloss back I think Paul redid his in gloss looks nice.

Yeh the footrest looks a nice touch, i'll enquire about that..

sorry im not sure i know what you mean? what colour do you think would look best for the diffuser and badges?

 

[GrumpyTwig]

sorry by 'back' I meant... 'black'

 

[coyle]

got ya! haha

So you think the diffuser gloss black or the badges? or both?

 

[luke3]

Both do it!

 

[BenW]

Looks smart, I like it

All down to you, personally I prefer the badges the way they are. But then you might hate chromed badges! Diffuser definitely black rather than anthracite.

On an albi car I think the diffuser would have to be black and I would do the badges to match.

I sprayed mine in anthracite so that it ties in with the R27 decals better. I am still really pleased with it and it was easy to do myself.

The car looks great fella, I was expecting a long list of mods with the previous cars though lol.

looking great mate!

I am considering having my diffuser painted anthracite, just waiting for a cheap diffuser to come up to have it done. I do have anthracite wheels though.

 

[coyle]

I think i'll leave my badges as they are, and do the diffuser gloss black.

What are peoples thoughts on the F1 stickers?
I got a set cheap (the rear was damaged, I just cut it down and removed the damaged part)

I only got them as they were so cheap, though it was worth sticking them on to see if i liked them, which I do. So i'll be leaving them on haha

Looks like the stickers are not impressing anyone lol, I like them, I think they look better in person than in the pics.
