After:





2) Installed a fire extinguisher in the passanger footwell:



3) Added a new sticker on the roof:

[Ollie RS]

[N0ddie]

Really love the AG paint (I would though lol).

Plans sound superb and if this ends up anything like your old Corsa, it should come up a treat!

Nice car, looking at your plates are you or is the car from near Wroclaw?

 

[Ollie RS]

haha mate your quite an expert i must say not many poles would know where the car was registered it was registered first in the regions of Wroclaw but today it got WI plates from Warsaw

 

[Ollie RS]

Got some more mods done to the Clio

Today i bought an HID kit to go into the projector headlights along with some LED sidelights to match, hope to get it fitted by monday:




Then i had my rear 3 windows tinted using the light tints so 35% same ones as they come out of the factory with. they came out very dark in these pictures:






And finally i visited HEKO today and got some wind deflectors :







sorry for the poor photo quality only had my phone with me

 

[smiler]

wind deflectors look good mate as do the tints!! just ordered some heko wind deflectors from ebay, waiting on delivery

 

[Ollie RS]

thanks mate, you won't go wrong with HEKO, been supplying them for over 2 years and i can safely say they are by far the best in quality and looks

 

[smiler]

yes seen alot of good reviews on them mate thanks hopefully get them soon after new year

 

[Ollie RS]

took a few photos last night with the new stadium for Euro 2012 in the back ground:

 

[N0ddie]

Awesome. Need so daylight photos though as night time ones don't show off our green too well.

 

[Ollie RS]

haha yeah it's hard to capture havn't really had a chance to take any day light pics, will try and get some soon

 

[chris_786]

AG is so hard to capture the drama of the paint on camera, but it looks stunning!

Find a friend with a DSLR and pics should come out better, plans sound awesome dude.

 

[Ollie RS]

cheers mate, This was using a DSLR but i can't find the best way to set it up for night use, it's really poor in low light, i took these using a canon 500d, maybe you know what the best setting would be for night shots...?

 

[Ollie RS]

The Clio is going in for it's first service tomorrow morning, gonna get an oil change as it's done 24,000 km, should i ask for a gearbox oil change aswell, i've heard of a couple going bang so maybe change it to fully synthetic?...

I'd will be going fully synthetic whenever we get our grinding box changed.

Only one way to get decent night shots - tripod, low ISO setting and a long exposure...

Don't get me wrong though they still look good and a very cool location to get some pics.

 

[Giles]

looking good

Yeah i think i will ask for it to be changed tomorrow
