My Kia Clarus

Hy there ppl ! first of all i wanna say i love vip cars, actually i love   cars. 
I'm Lucian , 18 years old male from Romania, Europe. 
I own a Kia Clarus 98' 1.8 engine ( 115 hp)
I made few changes to it but nothing major because over 2 months I will   move to UK for the Univ. I'm going to join the Bradford University, for   the Automotive design technology course. 
I have a 4-5 years of photo manipulation if you wanna say it like that   but i like it " virtual tuning" ( this is my dA profile , enjoy the   gallery : [URL]http://leel00.deviantart.com/[/URL]   ). So i'm going to follow my dream, designing cars, modify them etc   8-> 

here are some pics of my ride :

for the moment the car has the next "mods" : 

plate number in the front mover on the left of the bummper
shaved trunk 
black painted wheels ( stock wheels , 16" )

what next ? 
next week i'm going to add a audio sistem ( mp3 player, 2 ovar speakers,   2 sub - total .... 700 watts RMS !!! ) 
new black soft carpet 
white strip of led's under the dashbord for the feet ( hope you   understand what i mean) 
white strip of led's in the trunk and white light on the roof of the car   on the interior
carbon fiber vinyl for the dashboard
a new larger, oval exhaust tip

.... wish me luck ! :D

Advice?
 
Don't paint your wheels black. Don't get the CF vinyl for the dash. 
 
Welcome to VSC!

why not ? wheels have plastic covers ... so that's why i painted them. and about the cf on the interior ... i don't know, i will see. something else ?

^ VIP is a style and Carbon Fiber doesnt really fit. As far as the wheels go painting them will work in the short but as far as that goes not very VIP either. With that said make it how you want it to look, that car does have the potential to look clean. Only advice I can give is to stay away from the word VIP and just use the style for inspiration.

so we have a car with no luxury in sight, painted 16" hubcaps, factory suspension, some leds on the interior, carbon fiber vinyl dash, and a big exhaust tip? am i reading this right?

Yep. :runcoold:
Welcome to VSC

Romania representing....

Hello ! Welcome and exits ....

Hi L33Lo and welcome to VSC. I hope you have a chance to read through the forum and see what sort of style we all strive for here. We all have to start somewhere, but i think painted hubcaps and carbon fibre interior bits isnt really the best use of your time/money
 
How about lowering the car? Thats one of the key aspects of VIP tuning, and if you are short on cash you can always just cut your springs (not exactly ideal, but IMO better than painting hubcaps and putting an exhaust on your car).
 
From your photoshop skills i can see you have some idea of what makes a good looking car; how about applying some of that to your car?

Thank you for "getting the ideea". 
I was not saying that what i have done to my car is vip or will be vip style because i understand that this word will only be used when the car itself it's vip... 
as far as the hubcaps are concerned this is just something made for the moment so i wouldn't have to drive it rusty .... 
i really don't think i need to put too much money in my car because in 2 months i will leave her as i will go to univ in uk and after that my parents will sell it. this is just something for the moment ... 
please don't get me wrong, i was not saying my car is vip or things like that ...

and about that comment ... "representing romania" ...  i will try to stay beside this and not get in to it ... you got me wrong ... have you noticed i am barely 18 years old,  I got my own car and will have a ~600 usd audio sistem only ... these are only few of my accomplishments. and about romania .. i think you don't even know where it is so please think before saying something. 

anyway i'm not here for fighting with all ya. i just wanna learn new things and wash my eyes with some awesome cars posted around here 8-> 

cheers

it was not "representing romania"  it was "Romania representing.." which means that Romania is here on the boards...which means that the forum has people from all over the world, not just US (I do know where Romania is kid...:slap:)  

by me saying Romania representing...was not a bad thing...:biggthumpup:

thank you very much to all of you. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

if somebody is really interesed in starting a project i could help you by rendering your car. who's in ? :>
