Silver 1.2 16v Clio - DannyBhoy

[DannyBhoy]

Just gave her a quick clean, then the rain came on... As she stands at the moment

Only thing that I've done so far is the alloys, finding it hard to find the same colour for the centre caps, but I kinda like them off.

Ordered :

RS Grille
Bee sting aerial

____

Any suggestions for any more mods ?
Cheers

Depends on where you wanna go with the car, check out the non-sport section, loads of 1.2 16v clio's on there, including mine

Save your money for a 182

 

[DannyBhoy]

Don't worry I am

And you're name's Danny .. glad there's people on here that aren't all 200 miles away! :rasp:

 

[DannyBhoy]

Want to paint my dash trims silver but I dunno how to get the right colour... I know it's MV632 Gris Boreal.

cheers

Looks like a good base model mate I've got the same colour Clio and got some mv632 paint mixed for my side strips. Just go to a paint place or halfords and they'll mix you some up.

If you want any more ideas take a look at my project thread:

And as already said, don't spend too much on a 1.2, save up for a sport

Thanks for that man ! crazy how many Daniel's there are on here :rasp:

 

[DannyBhoy]

Further mod ideas ?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Keep it simple mate, maybe different wheels and some spacers and maybe a drop?

 

[MonacoDan]

Take a look at my thread if you want, keep it simple and tidy, most of all just enjoy it

It's actually a well known fact that all Dan's like silver Clio's

 

[DanEdser]

*AHEM* I prefer black ones

You must be the exception

Can't even drive yet mate

 

[DannyBhoy]

Slow and steady...

RS Grille

Silver dash trims

I'll get better pictures later on

 

[dubby]

Grill looks good! Keep the mods nice and sensible.
Here's my thread of my old 1.2L:
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?644373-Dubby-s-non-sport-mk2-ph2

Might give you some inspiration.

 

[DannyBhoy]

Cheers man, not planning on doing anything too expensive... Gonna get new speakers put in though
Was thinking of spraying my grille like you did, but I ended up just leaving it. Need to get my door trims sprayed

 

[scaryopa]

Looks in good nik so try keep her that way, also that RS grille and dash trims are much better than stantard
Spend £500 on my 1.2 then stopped and started saving, sold it up at xmas for a 182

 

[DannyBhoy]

That's what I'm planning on doing too mate!

 

[DannyBhoy]

Better pic of the grille

Forgot about the ariel

 

[-Danman-]

RS grill makes a big difference doesn't it

I've got the same aerial as well lol, I had to shorten it though cause it kept hitting the spoiler when the boot was open

 

[DannyBhoy]

I didn't realise you had the same aerial!... I'm gonna end up with a replica of your car mate :L
Aww f**k, I was planning on getting the cup spoiler as well, thanks for the heads up

 

[-Danman-]

Ripspeed ftw lmao!

I just cut the head off a screw and used the thread to join the top and bottom bits of the aerial together it misses the cup spoiler by about a millimetre now.

 

[DannyBhoy]

New stereo, cost £99

Oh and I got a free satnav offa my Dad which was lucky

Side strips and boot button, courtesy of Danman

The passenger side strips were piss easy to remove but for some reason the drivers side ones took about 30 minutes to whack off.

After a quick search on here of how to remove the boot plastic I put the boot button on. Managed to (accidently) close the boot after taking the handle off... sorted now though

Then fitted the gear knob insert and handbrake button, that I sprayed

Suggestions/comments/criticisms are all welcome

Car looks sweet man! Basically what I want to do to mine, with same plan of spend like a bit on it learning a few things and then move to a 1*2 or even if I save abit more a 197, but that would be another year saving depends how much longer I can deal with a 1.2 body work is in such a good shape too! Got a good car there man

 

[DannyBhoy]

Cheers mate! Not planning on doing much more... Maybe a cup spoiler and better alloys
Yeah I just really want a 182 more than anything else xD

Yeah a cup spoiler or even a colour coded dynamique spoiler would finish the back off!
Yeah sounds good to me!
A nice flamer would be heaven! I saw a flame red 172 pull into my close a couple of weeks ago, next to my 1.2. Mine just looked pants!

 

[-Danman-]

Colour coding makes a massive difference doesn't it! Coming along nicely now

Get those diamonds black

 

[jesus]

Looks much better with the new grille

I can't decide whether or not I like the silver ones better I already have black ones aswell

RS Grille is essential on any Clio me thinks

 

[DannyBhoy]

Thinking of getting one of the cliosport metal tax disc holders.. what colour do you guys reckon would suit best?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Looks good mate!

Not to derail your thread, but i don't suppose you seen/heard of any accidents on the cloch road heading for inverkip road tonight did you? I saw about 8 police cars from the boat tearing along and stopping half way up it? Looked a right bad yin!
