Progress on the 1.2

[AP'Moss]

Ok, i bought my Clio in May 2010, got it for 1400 i think :S cant remember.
I didn't do anything to it until last week.

Here are a few pictures of it from a few weeks ago as standard.

So last week i bought myself a Sport Grill and fitted that..

Before

During

After (I also changed my front diamond to a carbon wrapped one)

Then i had my bumpers and rub-strips taken away to be colour-coded

In the meantime i bought some yellow Lamin-X tint film to put over my fogs.

Before

One

Two

Didn't do the best job though lols, but you can hardly tell anything wrong

Got my bumpers back on Wednesday last week and i think it looks so much better!

Here it is as it stands now..

Plans...

Some black alloys, not sure what though..

Then i dunno.. suggestions?

looks decent..my suggestions would be do just lower it preferably on coilovers , get some decent alloys something along the line of the BSX Lenso's , sport rear bumper ad say 172 , maybe smooth front end , just clean simple mods those tend to be the most effective!

 

[Tomas]

^^just to add to the list ad also dewiper rear , get some clear side repeaters also

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

Looks good mate. Not too keen on the yellow fogs though.

You should also get some clear side repeaters...

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

Haha, beat me to it!

 

[benn j]

like the others said lowered and clear side repeaters and maybe a decent exhaust

Yeah i want to lower it but is it worth it on a 1.2? How much are coilovers?
Also, have you got a link to where i can buy some clear repeaters?

I thought the same, the grill completely transforms the front end.
And im not sure on getting an exhaust as its only a 1.2 :/

Looks good so far.
Lowering springs are cheap enough and do the job well IMO.
Maybe some Renault alloys, 172 or 182.
Clear repeaters from eBay or even a scrappy!!
Silver indicator bulbs make a massive difference.

 

[PP200t]

Oh on the exhaust front, I had a stealth fitted to my 1.2, which sounded good, 'improved' the drive and didn't look chavvy.

Whats a decent price for the repeaters new? Theres some going for £9.99 but have orange bulbs.. So then would i have to buy silvertec bulbs for them also?

 

[Tomas]

coilovers range in price depending on make , I got mine for £225 with p&p , search eBay for TA Technix

 

[Goodj]

looks fine as is IMO.

Yellow fogs are for kings. True story

Looks brilliant, colour coding looks fab! Out of interest, how did you remove the front/rear bump strips?! Didn't even realise you could haha

I think you should;
De-Wiper the rear
Clean indicator bulbs front + Side
Lower it on springs or cheap coilys
Get those alloys powdercoated

But it looks brilliant so far, I'll be keeping an eye on this

the front and rear bump strips just pop off but with the rear you gotta watch out you don't snap the clips

Cheers pal, yeah they just clip on and off, not sure how to do it though, the guy who sprayed them did that.
Im not sure how to de-wiper, would there not just be plastic with a hole in it left?
