Chris's MK2 1.6 16v

[CustomChris]

Here is my new Clio, This is my 4th one (and I am only 19) so I hope this one will last the test of time... It's a 1.6 16v Dynamique Billabong with all the goodies(Electric Sunroof, Climate Control ect..) I love the car and its quite nippy too!

Going to go down the euro route and get the body work tidied up! As for now I have got to get it 100% mechanically and get the cambelt done too, so the progress will be a bit slow for a couple of months (Unless I get a pay-rise) LOL, What do you think ?

[SimonR.]

Exactly the same as mine except I have the 1.4, pick it up next week.

Will be cool to see what you do with it

Time for a small update, Got silver visions for the front, LED side light bulbs and painted my badge glossy black. Next up is RS Grill so on the look out for one of them. Took a couple of pic's with my mate and here is the result!

Then I got home and had time to give it a little clean up!

Sorry for the picture quality my camera had no battery so they are Phone pictures!

 

[CustomChris]

Ok its time again for a selection of small updates as the postman delivered some goodies! First up I fitted my Alpine iDA-X305, its easily the best thing I have ever brought!

Next up was getting silver visions, I think they look a lot better now!

Then came my colour coded spoiler!

And finally I got some smooth bullets from Harpham, Cheers buddy!

Next up will be a RS grill, just got to get my dodgey idle sorted and the cambelt done too! Hope you like.. Comments welcome !

 

[Toby]

Let me know where you get your RS grill from mate

Car looks good, yo.

 

[CustomChris]

Thanks buddy, will let you know when I get it mate !

 

[clio-ant]

good start with the car mate, mines a 1.6 aswell check out my thread. whats next on your list then pal?

 

[CustomChris]

thanks buddy, I will check ur thread now , Next up is RS grill and coilovers but I need to get my belts done so that will have to wait until next month! Better to have a high car that has a working engine rather then a low one with snapped belts

 

[clio-ant]

very good decision! lol will lookward to seeing this! and did you do the colour coding yourself?

 

[SimonR.]

Looking good mate, you can get an RS Grill from this site for about £50

[CustomChris]

Thanks for the link mate

 

[CustomChris]

So its time for another small update, Got my bee sting arial that looks good but get no signal with!:dapprove:

Then came my new RS steering wheel and dash strips to match..

and I finally found an RS grill on ebay..

Thats all for now as I have it booked in on the 13th of december for the belts to be changed.. The new year will hopefully bring coilovers, some wide wheels and a trip to the bodyshop to be colour coded and tidied up a bit ! Thanks for looking and as always comments are welcome!

 

[Philip.]

Looking good, nice to see another 1.6

 

[CustomChris]

thanks philly, I love mine.. just want to get it low most of all now.. what coilovers you got ?

 

[Philip.]

Yeah I love mine too, even if it is being a pain at the mo'!
I bought some of the cheapo Rokkor ones from ebay, for the money they're brill, also running camber bolts and spacers.

Check the non-sport thread if you haven't already, tons of ideas in there and there's new pics of mine towards the end for the coilover pics!

 

[CustomChris]

yeah mine is being a pain to haha, yeah thats a great thread ! cheers

 

[gotboost?]

cool

 

[CustomChris]

A crap update tbh but this is what happens when a bus cuts in without looking,

Things are on hold while insurance sort it out, I was stationary at the time and have two witnesses saying it was his fault.
In the words of the inbetweeners, BUS WA*KERS !!

 

[Philip.]

That's a mega crapper man!

Hope you get it sorted asap!

Oh, and your necks hurting yeah?

 

[-J-]

Gutted for you

Hope the Bus company csort it out quickly wuith the insurance!

 

[keechy]

ahh gutting, bet your not very pleased about that!!! at least youl get brand new bumpers and paintwork for free!!!

 

[prabmire]

^^ ahh f**k man! hopefully there will be some CCTV from the day aswell

 

[MDP91]

Silver Clio campus driving past laughing :rasp:

f**k mate, car was looking really good. Hope it all gets sorted, had something simlar happen to me in the summer. Its a mega bummer

 

[CustomChris]

cheers Phil, I am so gutted, this is the first car i've had and actually liked its going in for an estimate on wednesday and we will go from there, all i know is that I am not paying for it !!

 

[CustomChris]

didnt read page 2 thanks for all the messages guys i will keep you updated on it as soon as I know

 

[CustomChris]

Sadly this will be the last update I do.. Since the accident I have really fell out of love with the car and now I have ignition problems too :banghead: ! Anyway I am going to sell the bits that I had put on it and put it back to standard, get it fixed up and sell it. Anyone who's had a car thats been in an accident will know how it feels! So look out in the FS section for: RS Grill, 172 steering wheel, Pearl black spoiler, Small ariel, Smooth Bullets and a few other bits.. Peace Out!

 

[SimonR.]

Shame to hear that.

What you getting next?

 

[CustomChris]

Not sure yet, I've had 4 clio's now so who knows

 

[SimonR.]

see that nice gt3 on top gear last week?

 

[CustomChris]

haha, no i didnt ! but i pay way to much for this 1.6 so i dont think i will be getting anything bigger..

 

[Paul.M]

Very unfortunate there pal! Im on my 3rd clio now bloody addictive arent they!
when you get sorted and start selling your bits pm me and ill probably take the rs grill if thats good with you
