'05 LY RS Clio 182

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Looks smart. Personally would prefer dark wheels on it. But that's just my opinion.

How come you removed the sidelight bulb's? To get rid of the yellow light? How about LED bulb's for the sidelight's? That's what i've done and looks a million times better.

Would love a LY!

To save anyone parking close (across two spaces)

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Very tidy car that. Love the colour and you've done a great job cleaning it!

Out of interest, why have you removed the side lights?

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

very nice! welcome

 

[cliolou]

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

I have removed the sidelights are I always think they look a bit odd and out of place, did the same on my flamer

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

hids direct

Old bulbs had seen better days

Nicely detango'd

Got some flat blades, not sure what the old wipers were warning me of !? lol

And fitted the 6000k xenon bulbs, such a great difference and loads brighter over standard!

Quick wash

and some rather poor pictures of them at night

Hardly do them justice but hey hooo.....


Splitter next when the rain dies off!

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Ok not quite got round to the splitter yet but a nice improvement ....

Also put on my anthracite diamond

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Did you take your bumper off to do the bulbs ?? Ive got some 6000k's to go in also but didnt want to take bumper off just for a pair of bulbs

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Looks WONDERFUL..... Liquid yellow is the best colour that has ever been offered on any car.

As said, cup packs on the 182 are pretty pointless if you're changing suspension anyway. Only a splitter and a spoiler, both of which you can buy if you really want them.

Definitely needs darker wheels though... anthracite to match the diamond i suppose!

As a last point, respect for being a girl and having good taste in cars.

You don't need to remove the bumper to do it but it makes it easier if your familiar with it. Did it with the flamer but didn't with the LY

Thanks jack I do like my cars and since my old RS clio I had to own another!

I have a splitter for it but its a bit cold at the mo!

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

looks very nice, congratulations on a good purchase! Good mods so far too.

I think anthracite or black wheels will suit it nicely and a cup spoiler may seem expensive but once you fit one you'll never regret it!
I cant believe the original buyer spent £1200 or whatever it was to have LY paint but wouldn't pay the extra for the cup packs? Madness!

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

This looks bloody lovely, only thing that makes the lack of cup packs better is the silver wheels, think they look so much more fresh than the antracite ones.

 

[cliolou]

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

yea im undecided if they are staying silver or going darker. they need a refurb either way if i dont find some turinis

she was a middle aged lady so the cup packs prob didnt appeal to her lol

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Looks really nice, one of the rarer colours. How did you manage to get 40+mpg out of it??!

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

How do you find the wipers? good! as I did have some BOSH ones but for the price of them.. are they worth paying that?

 

[cliolou]

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

yea they clear the windscreen easily and are smear free. had the exact same wipers on last clio cant go wrong at that price either!

 

[cliolou]

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

Little £10 mod which the car really needed and has made the front end nice and complete!

Cheers Skoda Dewalt drill, few dumpy self tappers, the dremel to trim the ends =

[a.jenkin]

Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182

PM one of the admin andv they'll sort it.

 

[cliolou]

A nice little new year update on the Clio, starting to feel like my own now


Starting with...

Something I mean't to do on all my other Clio's, many others I'm sure need to as well lol

C2 Aerial

Later spec Renault Sport boot badge

Cargo net

So...

Old badge had to go IMO as it looks a bit big

Lots of tar remover, clay bar, polish, wax, wax and wax!

Also fitted these, which I know people on here may choose to disapprove, but I really don't see the problem

With all the new bits on.... Time for some photo whoring.... (lots)

And finally a few showing off the colour and paint

....lol, as the first page states, more plans on the way

 

[Jcs]

when chris said on sss he was fitting the apex springs i thought he was joking lol

looking good. new badge looks awesome

 

[Jordi17]

Looks lovely. apex springs give a nice stance

 

[freemo77]

need to get myself one of these, every time i see one they grow on me, looks like an excellent example

 

[cliolou]

Yea I nearly got put off them by people saying apex are a hard ride etc, but to be honest they are really not that bad and I love how it looks now!
