My New RB Clio 182 FF

[kinsy91]

Hi

I recently purchased myself a FF Clio 182 in RB, After many weeks sarching the internet i finally came across this one locally

56000 Miles
Full Main dealer service history
Taxed and Mot'd For 6Months
All Belts Done
Came With a wallet full of receipts

The spec of the car as it stands is as follows

- Lowered 40mm
- Full Yozzasport Exhaust system
- K&N Panel Filter
- Steering Wheel Grips replaced
- Mirror covers sprayed pearlescent white
- Renault Diamond Sprayed pearlescent white
- Window Tints
- Alpine Headunit
- Jl audio MonoBlock Amp
- Alpine type r front and rear speakers
- Massive Audio TW12 Subwoofer

I Have since owning the car removed various stickers that were on the back end and also removed the yellow fog covers that were put on leaving it with a much cleaner look in my opinion

Pics of the car











Before Sticker Removal






After removal




I have since been informed the reason for the Yozza being on the p**s is due to the exhaust mounts failing so im going to attempting a repair to them this week, Further Plans include

- Removing Window Tints
- Fitting New / modified exhaust mounts
- Possibly Colour coding the mirror covers back to RB
- Respraying the bullets

I will post pics as and when i update the car, Hope you like it. I love it.

Project de-chav by the looks of it. Love the colour though.

Absolutely correct

Certainly a project de-chav lol. Nice colour though. You keeping the sub in and that too?

Exhaust de-cat? Yozza sports sound great don't they.

Had Clios before?

 

[kinsy91]

Family had a 172 a while back but its the first one ive personally owned.

Ye the exhaust sounds awesome Was thinking about a decat but was concerned about it throwing up warning lights etc. How much would one cost ?

 

[Jay.S]

Wing mirror caps make me sad.

 

[kinsy91]

What do u mean by that the fact that they are white and not RB ?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I like the white mirrors to be honest. I think RB would look better though as its more standard then.

And a decat yozza pipe usually go for 40-50 quid on here 2nd hand. But you will get some warning lights displayed I think.

Look on YouTube at a yozza sport decat video and you will hear the difference.

I had a yozza full system with de cat

Sounds amazing but sounded better catted than de catted, but if you like the de cat sound then go for it, i had it de catted for 2 weeks. not one warning light so presume all being well it would be the same for your self

Looks nice! Sits really nicely.

IMO I think the original Clio badge or the RS200 RenaultSport badge would look better in place of the ClioSport sticker on the boot.

Thanks mate I gave the car a nice clean n polish earlier and I've removed the cliosport sticker, plan to tackle the ttints on the weekend when I have a little more time. But it's certainly taking shape

Left work and went striaght to get some new rubber as the two fronts are extremely close to their limits, after a bit of research on here opted for a couple of 205/45/16 RainSport 2' they seem to get some good opinions







Couple of packages were waiting when i arrived home

A new LED Bulb for the number plate illumination as the other had given up.



A set of EXH008 mounts, seen a guide on here to modify the ever failing exhaust mounts with these so thought id get a couple and give it a shot when i get a bit of time.

The back end has now got all the stickers removed, as said before i will be tackling the tints on the weekend with a bit of luck



Opinions and recommendations would be good

Can vouch for the powerflex mounts, was a pretty easy job fitting them and the exhaust sits so much better!

 

[wyardclio]

i like it how it is its well nice

 

[kinsy91]

Couple of updated pics, i attempted removing the rear tints yesterday without any joy didnt wanna play ball what so ever, so that is going on a back burner for now.

Looking gooooood, the mirror covers would look nice color coded IMO

Looks nice.

Where did you get bullets from and how much?

 

[kinsy91]

cHi mate i contaceted SprayShack on the traders section on here, usually you send off the bits you want sprayed and they send them back to you once there complete and ypuve paid. They said they had a set of bullets which had one of the clips partially broken but they fit absolutely fine. Price was £30 for them painted in one colour or £35 for a colour and then a different colour for lettering. And its £3 postage i think

Just contact them see if they have any other bullets if not youll have to send them a set, but dont know how much it is if you do it that way

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Ah ok good. Get some pictures up of the bullets
