Mettalic Green 1.2 MK2 Ph1 PROJECT!!!!!!!!

[MCC@U13Y]

Hi I got this Renault clio 1.2 grande when I was 15 off my dad as I asked for a project to do for my 16th to work on it for a year for it to be ready for when I past my test. (DREDING THE INSURENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Anyway he got it cheap because the cambelt had gone and some of the valves were bent

so I had new valves and cambelts change and the head-skimmed, cleaned the throttle body as well it was filthy, spark plugs, full service and coil leads

soon to have coil pack to see if it soughts out my problem in the fault and engine forum.

things ive done and will soon get pics are.

de-wiperd (black gloss wiper blank)
172 alloys waiting a refurb in anthracite
stubby ariel
mk2 rear lights
ph1 172 lights and fog lights awaiting to be installed
mk2 rear bumper
full mk2 172 front & rear seat awaiting to be installed
front rear ph1 172 door cards awaiting to be installed
carbon wrapped edged interior handle
mk2 172 spoiler awaiting to wrapped and installed
painted black gloss calipers and drums with Renault sticker (only front calipers with stickers)
interior window switch holders in gloss black
Renault Clio front bonnet badge one in chrome and one in Gloss black (can't decide with one to fit)

Reason Im saying awaiting to be installed is because the car Is currently being prepped to have resprays on boths sides including wings and rear bumper so not swapping interior round as the car will get dust and filthy.

Future mods to be done:
front rear pionner speakers with sub a head-unit building a solid floor for boot as you 1.2 owners know they give you a flopping piece of (cardboard)
lowering springs
k&n induction kit
exhaust maybe maybe
slightly tinted windows as I don't like full daylight
future refurb of alloys
a new set of tyres
maybe mk2 exterior door trim with bullets and maybe replica 172 side skirts.

anyway before and after pics of prep ready for paint which will probably be in the next 1 1/2 months try to be earlier have to raised funds as I am only 16. 17 in October.


before archs and not shure if ypu can see the ripples and dents and a huge key scratch

FairPlay mate but don't say you weren't warned when Officer Friendly fists you for them

I have pressed plates but they are completely legal and look a lot better with the standard font IMO

Ahh, I can't find any for under £150 unless I get them without rubber which is pretty annoying, as for the knobs, in my opinion the bottom left grey'ish one would look best
