[McGherkin]

its the last one and i feel a little nostalgic about it :L it will be removed soon enough due to the respray but i want to keep it a little while until i get the courage to remove it and the surrounding lacquer because the vinyl grips to lacquer like no bodys business :L

and thanks guys i knew you would all appreciate the grille just debating on something the missus suggested which was to colour code the grille... bear with me though as it sounds strange at first but looking at the grille myself i couldnt help but think it would look nice colour coded but i have never seen it done...

I've seen the grill body coloured before, but I wouldn't do it green.

Spray it gloss black?

Look on 519 automotives website and there's a blue grill.

as i say mate the missus suggested colour coding.. so it would be the same black as the car...

the grilles transformed it. kind of like the little hint of green behind the diamond if im honest. id do the diamond black and ive seen a few grills gloss black so go with whatever takes your fancy. either way its coming along

thanks its coming on in leaps and bounds and you mean the rear diamond?

also i think i may get the grill colour coded as suggested to make it blend in better and a little more subtle but noticeable because it will stand out as CC'd :L

[Jay.S]

Did you mean to leave that green lip on the drum? Also get rid of that overspray looks terrible.

[Steven103]

It's so simplistic, but painting behind the diamond instead of THE diamond is a nice touch and not one that I've seen on CS before.

Green windscreen washer jets would compliment the other green bits? I'm sure 20 odd pages ago I'd have been one fo the ones saying "green is fine but not too much" - however likewise I think you could get away with a touch more green if you wanted. Small bits like the "16v" (if applicable) part of the bullets being in green. Green numbers on the gearstick. Green "Renault" text on the aluminium effect bits above the glovebox.

i do like the sound of green jets mind and yeah if you read back a few pages mate there are pics of the interior like the pic below showing that iv painted the door pulls etc

no no on the front, the hint of green. but CC'd badges are best i think. my mates black megane had them all black apart from the wheels.
my front one is but my back one is carbon and the wheel ones blue. the subtle hints are best i think which is what yours is turning into

it is getting there bit by bit just need more time and money lol

[Spinksy92]

anyone on here in or near huddersfield?? i need someone for a few minutes to help me adjust the bonnet i have just fitted so it is lined up properly and will shut :/ iv fitted it as i say to replace my old bonnet which was dinted and stone chipped... i just need an extra hand to fit it properly so i can shut my bonnet... i have posted in the help section but no replies...

as said i only need a few minutes of your time and i already have the tools, there is a free cuppa in it for anyone that helps, should be a straightforward job as the bonnet is on and needs adjusting just need the extra hands and eyes lol

Please ditch ALL the green and replace it with blaaaack. Monster energy/green and black theme's aren't cool IMO unless your actually driving a full blown rally car like a boss.

Just saying... Black on black much more subtle.

[Naith]

why you still got that monster s**te on the back ffs?!

those wheels, well the car looks comical without it being lower. shirley springs arent expensive on these.

[Spinksy92]

finally got the new bonnet fitted after 2 days wrestling with it :/ alot easier to do with 2 people :L but anyway im saving up for the blast couple of bits now...

jobs left to do stand as:

1: Full respray with all the damage and dints removed and the plastic bits CC'd to the car (all done at the same time)
2: Coilovers (for real lowwwsssss )
3: Interior piped and touched up with a full valet
4: Attach cs.net stickers after the car has been painted

not much else to do to the green machine :/ any other suggestions?

Mate I'm sorry but this colour scheme you're going for doesn't look great, black and green can look good but the shade you've chosen is too fluorescent. But all in all I'm not going to lie the black and green look on a clio doesn't look good.

Here is a list of mods that I think will improve the look and feel.

• Detint (Rear tint on any black car makes it look like a van) - Free
• Different colour scheme (Do the badges, "clio" on the back, bullets (w/ different colour for 16v. )
  
  • Black and white (popular, looks good when used in moderation)
  • Black and carbon
  • Black and red (Just small bits, not the grille)
  • Black and black
  • Black and anthracite (One of the better looking
  • Black and silver
• Wind Deflectors (Especially if you insist on keeping the tints) - £30
• FK or cheaper coilovers
• 172 rear bumper
• Colour code the bump strips (If a car opens its door onto your car it won't hit the bump strips all the time) - £20 DIY
• Colour code the rest of the car (Handles, spoiler, front bump strips) - £40 DIY
• Trophy Spoiler - £100
• Sports pedals - £50
• LED Dash conversion - £20
• Civic Type R Aerial - £15
• Megane splitter - £20
• Carbon fibre wrapping interior bits or real carbon - £30 (carbon wrap) to £100s (carbon)
• Different wheels, sorry mate. - £2-300
• Sport seats - £200
• Sport door cards - £40
• Xenons (Lamps & HIDs) 5-6000k - £180ish
• LED sidelights and number plate lights @ 5-6000k
• Silvervisions
• Audio Upgrades (No vibe/crappy subs/amps)
• Engine bay enhancement - £??? Polish bare metals, dress kit, colour code engine cover, battery cover, battery terminal clamps.

You get the picture. All these mods are common for a reason, they look good, and work the best. Hope this gave you some ideas, and I'm sorry if it's a bit harsh but I believe it needs to be said. I love the RS grille though, great change, makes a worlds difference.

[stephen chadwick]

wouldn't but a type r aerial they don't fit properly shortening the std aerial looks better and its free
