-Danman-'s Mk2 1.6

[-Danman-]

Hey guys, this is my mk2 clio had it for about 6 months now, any suggestions what else I could do to it? Thanks!

When I first brought it:


1st thing - Paint the wheels:


Tinted windows and a nice decal :


So far so good:


Painted drums and calipers:


The callipers aren't actually this bright lol :P


Carbon wrapped bullets:


Carbon wrapped hazard surround:


Carbon wrapped wing mirrors:


Clio badge sprayed black:


Went a bit carbon mad and even did the key lol:


Carbon wrapped spoiler!


Took quite a while to do but happy with it in the end


Carbon wrapped speaker surround:


Carbon wrapped dash strips with airbag decal:


Carbon wrapped gearstick insert with decal:


Carbon wrapped diamond (done rear diamond as well but not put back on yet):



Any ideas for my clio or questions about it, just comment below

Cheers, -Danman-

Good job with the carbon

Hey matey - firstly good effort on all the carbon wrapping (looks really good).

I would honestly say colour coding is a massive improvement (I own a 1.6 in the same colour as you and although I have really only just started doing bits n pieces the colour coding is a huge improvement!!)

Interior is looking really good though...maybe look to upgrade your headlights to a pair of 182 xenon beasts (silver vision indicators etc) look also really nice subtle improvement on the standard ones ours came with lol

Maybe CS grill too? will be a huge improvement

Yeah I have been thinking about getting it colour coded, what kind of prices are you looking at? and have you got a pic? I could do with some new headlights as well, mine are all cracked lol

Hey cheers took quite a while but it's getting there :P and yeah I think the grill does look really nice, maybe Santa will treat me

Wrapping is neat fella well done.
I'd say leave the CF wrap now you dont want to go OTT.

Next, some 172/182 wheels some decent springs and then you're good

[-Danman-]

Ah cheers don't think there's much more I could carbon wrap anyway tbh

A good set of springs and maybe some wheel spacers would be nice

[ch!ppen]

Looks good Dan.

[J6PKP™]

Looks good mate, wrapping is much better than mine!! Where did you get the airbag and gear knob decals from?
Also just to mirror, springs, 1*2 wheels and DEFINATELY colour coding would finish it.
Pm sprayshack on here for a price, their work looks amazing!

[danzel]

How much carbon wrap did you need to buy for all that?!

[Toby]

Looks good.

RS grill?

[-Danman-]

Thanks everyone Most likely be looking for a sport grill next, or some headlights :P

Heh thanks :P the airbag and gearknob decals were actually from sprayshack lol, found their page on facebook and just emailed them about it, cost £2.80 for both decals seen some of the things they've sprayed, all look very professional

How much carbon wrap did you need to buy for all that?!

Think it was like a 1m x 3m sheet off ebay lol, cost about £18 and still got loads left

[chapperzuk]

Awesome job on the carbon wrapping, especially the spoiler. As Jamie said above, colour coding would make a big difference and the 182 xenons would be a good shout. Subscribing to this thread, looking forward to seeing it's progress.

[CustomChris]

Good to see another 1.6 on here keep up the good work!

[Steven103]

That carbon wrapping (particularly reffering to the wing mirrors) looks waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better than some of the stuff members have paid other self-claimed "proffesional" members on here to do - well done.

[-Danman-]

Cheers guys

The hardest thing I've had to carbon wrap so far is definately the spoiler, just been looking on ebay at RS grills and they're are quite pricey, anyone know where I could get one cheap? Been told possibly a scrapyard so far lol

[Tomas]

love the carbon mate , looks great all you need do now is sport grill / coilovers / clear indicators / 172 rear bumper...sorted!

[-Danman-]

Thinking maybe tinted back lights and instead of colourcoding the sidestripes silver, maybe a nice black instead

[adamf92]

looks nice, love the spoiler against the silver any pics of the car as a whole after your happy wrapping spree?
