Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Cheers mate and lmao it's too late I ignored everyone and put them on about a month ago and still like them so far. Keeping the standard ones though for when I see sense but these are staying on for now
The grommet was from halfords, I brought an assorted pack for about £1.50. Ideally I wanted a smooth wiper blank but this will do for now
Nice car mate, i like your ideas! Don't get those rear lights! I had them on for ages. Then I put standards back on and thought, what on earth was i thinking haha! Also, the de-wipering, where did you get the grommet to fill in the hole?

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Right, since last time I've managed to aquire a set of coilovers and a front strut brace, along with some other things
Here's the coilovers, they are TA Technix and I brought these from seanyboii off here
Next I brought an OMP front strut brace, also from seanyboii
Here it is with my rear one. I am going to get them both sprayed Renault Yellow eventually
I also brought some LED side lights and I couldn't resist this sticker when I saw it
Finally, here are some photos of the car as it stands at the moment after a good clean
I know most of you don't appreciate the rear lights but they're staying for now

Cheers man, and lol to say I got an A in english it doesn't show does it I'll make sure my grammer is better from now on
Little Update: Got the LED's fitted, very blue in colour so going to get some new headlight bulbs so they look a bit better than blue LED's + yellow headlights.

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Thanks mate, yeah I carbon wrapped them first and thought they looked a little plain so I ordered the decals from SprayShack I think you can get them in all different colours and they only charged me about 2quid so can't complain

Yeah I will do man, going to have a look in Halfrauds later today because my dad's got some in his ST from there and they've got a slight blue tint to them. Tbh I think anything will look better than the standard ones I have in atm
I'll take some before and after photos so you can see the difference

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Yeah I agree I've covered up the 1.6 badges so it's always funny when you get a load of chavs in Corsas and Peugeots pull up next to you. Can't wait to get the coilovers fitted
Well they're not the the fastest thing on the road but I love mine, they are quite nippy though and the acceleration is fun
Yeah I agree

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Got the new lights fitted the other day, here's some pics
Here's the LED sidelights I brought from Midge:
And a few days later I brought these from Halfrouds:
After a few cut fingers later they were fitted
Here's a before and after photo. The box clearly says "Laser Blue" but it's more of a bright white really. Never mind

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
I'm lowered about 80mm and I rarely hit anything.
Just renewed my insurance and decided to go with elephant. This means I can now afford an induction kit which I ordered earlier and should be delivered on Wednesday as well as lowered suspension!

Same. Mines around the 80mm mark too and I dont have any issues with it. Mine was 60 in the past but it just looked too high still with 15's on :/ happy with it at 80 now though
I wouldn't reccomend anything less tbh.Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Haha cheers that's a really nice looking car mate
Yeah I agree, not what I was expecting though. They were about £12 each I think
Hmm okay thanks guys, think I’ll go for around 80 as well and see how it looks when they’re fitted
Got a few little updates as well soon

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
I fiiiinaallly managed to get the side strips on the other day, they had been in my room for about 2 months so it was about time :clap:
Before:
During - the strips were a lot easier to slide off than I expected:
After:
massive improvement in my opinion
With the left over paint I decided to spray the boot release button. I got another one from the scrapyard along with a few other bits n' bobs that I have plans for. (Top secret for now :quiet: :rasp
I did this because it was starting to annoy me how the rear diamond looked solid when it should just be the outline.
Before and after:
I think it finishes the back off nicely.
However, I am thinking of a 172 bumper. Does anyone know how much it'd cost to get sprayed and is it a simple swap, or do you need different arch liners or anything?

You did a much better job carbon wrapping than I did...

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Just some of the edges where I wrapped it round the back are a bit rough and noticeable, I will maybe try and fix them at a later point

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Ooh right okay, just use a Stanley knife to trim off any excess
Also booked car into the garage next week for the fitting of the coilies so they'll be ready for CSS! :clap:

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Nice job on the diamond, might do that to mine!
For the rear bumper you need the rear arch liners as well.

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Thanks :approve: and yeah you should, it makes it more recognizable as a diamond instead of a black blob from a distance and alright then, thanks mate

Oh cool that's even better then, sure it'd be alright without any arch liners at all though if the old ones won't fit?

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Hi guys, my ClioSport Saturday pack come through the other day Hopefully the car should be ready in a week or so
No idea where I'm going to put the sticker though, any ideas? :s
Was also driving along yesterday and noticed my mileage. Had to get a quick picture lmao :clown:
Finally, the biggest update I've had really, COILOVERS!! :cheers:
I'm really happy with how these look but I suppose some spacers couldn't go a miss. Only got the one photo at the moment though which I took earlier today.
Comments are always appreciated, even the negative ones lol, ta

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Looks great now with the coilovers! Not a huge fan of the rear lights but at least they are different! Almost everyone has kept the original rear lights so I think it's one of the best ways to differentiate from everyone else! As long as you like the look of them that's all that matters. I'd suggest you colour code the rest of the outer trim but i'm not sure if that'd ruin the black and silver theme... Looks great as it is, might steal a few of your ideas such as spraying the boot release button thing. Good job

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Cheers mate, I'm sure I'll grow out of the lights one day but quite like them at the moment and ideally I do want to spray the bumpers but the quotes I'm getting are stupid. I might just splash out a bit more and get a 172 bumper lol. Thanks for the positive comments and as for stealing some ideas... Take what you want lol
Thanks I think they make a big difference don't they. The only problem is that the colour isn't an exact match :/
Little update: fitting the front strut brace this morning
