Albi Blue 200 - From the beginning

[clio.ben]

I first got my 200 in december 2011, recaros yellow ID pack cup spoiler and White speedlines, comming from a blue 1.2 ( see picture) first driving it, in the wet was a very scary experience to say the least

The first "mod" i done to the car was to get the front end, defuser and the wing mirrors carbon wrapped,i also sprayed the wheels black ( which have now chipped, in the prosess of sorting those out)

around this time some Knob decided to key the driver door, which i cant afford to fix, so i just touched it up, annoyed to say the least...

Whilst at CSS i bought a Rear " beam" to hand my drying towl on for just after i cleaned my car, here it is fitted with my floor fitted around really pleased with how i done it:

Small update, fitted a Varly redtop 15, in the same place as the standerd battery is, also fitted a Carbon fibre bonnet.. it matches the carbon vinyl better in person, need someone to make realy carbon bumpers and diffusers

Also added a varly red top 15, not a single problem starting, often left for a week - 2 without moving too

Thats basically it at the moment, future plans are:

225 conversion ( when my insurance goes down, 3500 a year)( im only 20 also have no no clames and 1 crash... long story...)
new wheels
Carbon seats
Carbon bonnet
Gloss Black Roof
real carbon defuser + front bit
Roll Cage
And yellow harnesses

Thanks for reading

Looks good Ben, not 100% sure about the front wrap but like like the plans. It looks pretty good on the move when we were going down to CSS.

You pay £3500 for insurance?
