The new car.. Stanced thing again



  A grey one
Starting a project thread even though I haven't really got anywhere yet.. But it'll go somewhere before Christmas if that counts.

i broke my first car, Milo, it was a 1.2 and it smashed into the floor alot and fell apart basically.. So I sold it.
I decided it was a good idea.. And bought a 182 which was horrendous on insurance, so I sold it..
I then found this.. And bought it, cause it had a cup spoiler and saved me a slight job and it was pretty local.

So this is Piérre, my second 1.2 and my third clio. It's a phase 3 so the newest out of them all and it had awesome service history and 65k on the clocks.
it came like this..

So within an hour, small bits but.. Bits started.
Got my renaultsport mats in there, small ariel and wind deflectors..

Ive had it a week.. The exhaust gives me a headache.. Soon it shall be going! Shiny though..

Today.. I decided to clay bar the whole car, get all the crap off that it was caked in, polish it, wax it, take the wheels off whilst I got rid of the horrendous yellow drums and sprayed them black, made the wheels look brand new and shiny and sealed them ready for the run up to winter.
Brakes look better if I must say so myself.
So here's a few photos.

The plans are.. Minimal at the minute.
so it's going down the stanced route again as I realised I am too young to have a racekor.

-Smoothed sport front end (I think.. I kinda like the ph3 bumper)
-Some fancy shiny wheels which I haven't found the right set yet.. (16" because I learnt my lesson from 15" wheels)
-My last one had sport interior so I want to go all out in this one and get some Corbeau RRS seats or similar.
-Colour code the side strips and smooth the bullets.
-Convert the rear drums to discs.
-Remove exhaust and replace with standard one.
-New rear bumper

ps. This is my old car, it's sorta gonna look like this. SORTA.

Milo was awesome. It's a shame you couldn't get reasonable insurance on the 182, your plans for Pierre sound good so I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

Looks nice!

Not sure on the logic of spending £800 on seats for a 1.2 when 182 insurance is too expensive though :/

Looks really smart mate, good plans too!

What side skirts are on Pierre, as they are not sport skirts are they...?

What problems did you have with 15's?
Too much archgap, bumper was sat on the floor, and I smashed up my gearbox because of it.

Because I know someone with a set that won't cost me £800, plus my insurance was £2500.. Which makes £800 look like pennies, that's why :)

I believe they're standard issue ones, not overly sure.


What tint did you use for the fogs?
Just some vinyl off fleabay!

PMSL, blushing like a motherfucker, either that or he'd been at hi mum's make-up to try and make himself look pretty.

Interested to see what you do with this one, I can't believe the insurance was different enough on a 172 to make you want to change, they're normally pretty reasonable. What was the difference if you don't mind me asking?
