Well, after a long wait i now have a family car as ive got a 4 month old little girl and the pram etc just would not fit in a nova so ive had to buy french as it was the best one around at the time for the money. anyways here goes with the current spec:
1.6 engine
elec sunroof but not elec windows which confused me!!:confused:
14inch standard renault wheels which are 'sprayed chrome'
red drus and calipers
ripspeed dv720 headunit
two 7inch monitrs which i have built into the headrests just need wiring up now
boss door comps
6x9s cut out into rear door cards running off a 500watt amp
12inch jbl 1000watt subwoofer running off a 1400watt amp all the amps are on a flick switch to turn off when baby is in the car(always thinking ha ha)
i have limo blacked all the rear windows
at the minute i think that is it ive just been doing general servicing work on it ive got to do my drivers side drive shaft at the weekend already done the passengers so should be fun

PLANS:
Well i have a few different ideas which some of you may be able to help me with

I want some chrome angel eyes
drop it down very slightly approx 35mm to handle a little better but not make it too hard
different wheels but cant make my mind up if they are to be 15s,16s or 17s
looking for the sport front seats(rear the same)
looking for a few engine mods to give a little extra power but unsure what to do yet.
I have a 4inch peco backbox here which would go on and i know they are not very loud as i had one on my first nova so thats a maybe
i am also looking for a very subtle bodykit as i dont know of any sport saloons

i will no doubt be adding new pics very soon once i have cleaned up all the engine bay etc.

ANY comments welcome

Here is a few pics:

French :cry: looks like there is plenty of room in the engine bay, V6 time? This should be an interesting one anyway.

id love to put the 2L megane sport engine however the insurance would not be happy well they would with high prices but i wouldnt be happy. ha ha but its something i may think about beginning of next years as i will be 20 have a yrs no claims and i am actually now a fully trained copper which brings it down alot.
