Plans sound typical barry boy. Can't really think of one visual mod I've done. All have served a purpose.

Wheels. Lights, badges and paint sum up most CS projects. Like your imp. Needs a complete restoration imo and your worried about what wheel arches to fit.

Thanks for reading.

£150 will not make it look decent
plus it will put off potential buyers, it is what it is, it will never be nice unless you throw ££££ at it

That clio is a bargain! Thought it was the 182 shape model you were talking about.

So did a fee bits and bobs with the clio...

So realised it had two snapped front springs, bought a cheap £70 set of h & r springs... Arrived and they turned out to be new, bargain...

Starter motor was sluggish and eventually failed on me... Replaced

Debadged and wipered (now has a bung)

Fitted a cheap ariel, however whilst fitting a wire fell out of it so it doesnt work lmao dont use the radio anyway

Gave it a huge clean and hoover

Fitted some of them cheap mats

Some pics as it stands







Looking much better, although it has a few dings and the wheels are fucked

Scratch and ding


Multiple small bootlid dings


And shit refurb and curbed multi fits


Things that annoy me...
Cd player only gives sound on 1 side of car and has no ipod connection

Reg plate on front is cracked

Alloys are shit and have 40 wall tyres on which look silly

Needs a splitter

Plans...

Halfords have a nice ipod cd player for £60 (pioneer) half price, going to buy one today

Pressed plates

New alloys, pref oem maybe steppes with 45 wall tyres

Hids and led side/turning/number plate bulbs

Espace splitter


Was going to have the dings sorted but probs wont bother unless im bored...

Im sorry my garage is a bomb site and desperately needs addressing before i can even touch the imp... Plan to do this next week but been busy

I would leave it but if it bothers you. PDR the dents, touch up the scratch. Simple cheap satin black wheel refurb. Job done.

Tyres are nearly bald so will buy wheels with tyres, probs leaving the dents will still look ok/respectable

Cut the connector off and soldered the wires on to the terminals...

Also keep saying cd player, its ipod/radio only.. Not bad for £60 though, has a nice sound
