Update 24/02/2013

So I've been thinking about what to do recently, spacers and springs are a must for me - just waiting for a deal to come up..

In the mean time I've been watching videos of Plasti-dip, so thought I'd give it a go! - Decided to do, mirrors, bullets, door strips, badges, and RS logo. The wheels too although they were a fail

Pretty pleased with the results although they could be so much better - my own fault. Definitely would recommended not spraying in -2c though

I rushed it and definitely didn't leave enough time to dry and my coverage wasn't as good as I thought it was! - DOH

Also finally got a snow lance, once again, in minus 2C. Don't leave it to long to 'dwell'. It freezes obviously...

Cleaning


Wheels off - props to foxy for the jacking guide


Finished.... Sort of.






So basically I didn't leave it enough time to dry - idiottttttttttttttttt. When I was tightening the nuts back on I slipped and caught the dip

Now I know what black wheels on my car look like I HAVE to get it!

Here's me peeling it back off..


This is my idea for using plasti dip also.. Got bored at work so wacked out the marker pen. - Angel-esk from end..



Comments very welcome

The front bumper would look much better like this: http://cdn1.siol.net/sn/img/12/111/634705296757206592_renault_clio_rs_akrapovic-3.jpg

Deffinately need to do the alloys in black. I did mine and it transforms the car awesomly!

Looks good buddy, any close ups of what you plasti dipped?

Brought myself some alloys off of robby! Can't wait for them to arrive :-p



Going to get them refurbed in Satin or Matte black, undecided yet.

As posted previously, will probably try this design with the plastidip, see what happens



Also got my rear number plate lights coming from CarbonFanatics. Happy days.

Thanks to Chris197F1 for the Heko's - love them!

On order and waiting to arrive at the moment is:

Orange caliper paint and black Brembo stickers

&

Enough stickers to stickerbomb my mirrors - don't hate


Currently considering some Laminx from Funk Motorsport, thinking smoke for the headlights and amber for the fogs. Opinions?

 

[Rogue]

Looking good. I was smoke the fogs personally. Orange calipers will look mean! What kind of sticker bomb u going for?

 

[Foxspeed]

looking good :thumbup:

 

[Chris197F1]

Very nice mate! How much did the refurb set you back?

Glad the Wind deflectors turned up ok, makes the 10 layers of bubble wrap worthwhile haha

 

[N0ddie]

I'm gonna hate on the stickerbombing idea. Just about acceptable (Barely) on a shed but not a 200.

As for the wheels, they look awesome in black.

 

[Yiannis197]

I do like these wheels, they suit the car brilliantly!

 

[rbrocky]

I know you are after amber fogs, but have you considered just tinting the headlights and maybe green fogs? That would look frickin awesome! And very different!

 

[RyanHughes]

Nice progress mate, gave me some ideas for mine

Update 29/5/2013

Been abit slow with changes recently, just keeping her clean and enjoying her.





Went for a little drive with some friends from home, got some snaps and leeboy gave me some mesh stuff for the fogs so I thought why not and threw it on haha. Keeps the silver/black theme going!





Then the fun began,
30/40mm HRs from JoshV, cheers mate!
Orange caliper paint and black brembo stickers
Hankooks v12s
Plasti dipped the RS badge again (properly this time)







At the weekend just gone my mate replaced his sidelights, seeing that it wasn't to bad and from recommendations from MartinNotts on here Ive brought some MTEC cosmos and some white sidelights. Soon to be fitted! Very happy now.



C and C welcome!

[Dave1rs]

Looking good....really must get myself some of those springs.

 

[RyanHughes]

Brakes look cool, Let me know how you get on with the headlights, ive had them recommended but im yet to try them

 

[Chrisgti6]

Not sure on the brakes, they look a little like faded red ones!

Maybe they look better in the flesh?

 

[Fernandez]

Those callipers look epic imo... I'll be getting orange calipers on mine when I finally get the KSport big brake kit on it.

 

[CL10]

Did you deliberately put the Brembo stickers on the wrong way round?

 

[Chris197F1]

Love it Will, coming along nicely now!
