My 1.2 Clio

[LukeyyJ]

So here is my Clio that's when i first bought is at the moment it just has some wind deflectors and been lowered

I have 172 alloys waiting to be refurbish

RS Grille Waiting for it to be delivered

and will be color coding at weekend

Is there anything else that i could do?

Like colored badges, yellow fogs etc

Thanks Lukeyy

Hello Lukeyy, first things first - nice wheels!
As for what you could do - I like the idea of coloured badges, going to be doing mine black at some point soon (hopefully!) - Maybe a different colour for you seems as it's already black? - I'm also going to colour my 'Clio' bit at the back black at some point
Not liking the idea of the yellow fogs but if you like the idea then go ahead! It's your car
As for other things, you could look into getting some spacers to give the car a better stance? Also you could look at the interior - Get an after-market head unit and some upgraded speakers; maybe even a sub-woofer & AMP? Depending on how much you want to spend you could go for a half leather interior?
There are so many possibilities! Do what you want to, I've just given you a few ideas to play with - Have a trawl though the forum at the project threads as see if you can find some inspiration there

Looks nice bud!

Could always keep your eyes open for a sport interior, maybe spray the interior plastics? Xenon headlights from the 1*2's fit directly on aswell, maybe even a 172 rear bumper? since yours is black you might be able to find one the same colour that wont need respraying

Yes mate! I like it, wack on a 172 rear bumper. What paint did you use mate? Just spray and gloss or plasti dip?

 

[cat171]

Imo the yellow bits lookout of place, especially on the wheels. Looks nice apart from that.

[LukeyyJ]

Little update:

put my new alloys on yesterday just debating wether it needs to go lower?

 

[cat171]

Wheels do look excellent, but yeah go a bit lower.

 

[alexr19]

They look great. But it needs to go much lower

 

[LukeyyJ]

will be going lower but not sure how much?

 

[alexr19]

You could get away with 10/15mm front and back. Low enough to look cool but not ruin everything

 

[Loz H]

Is it lowered on coilovers bud?

 

[ZanderMichaelJason]

That looks ace! Fair play buddy

 

[iamjoel]

Looks quality man, Axe Ex8/XXR 527s are the best rims imo, your project is basically what i want haha

 

[LukeyyJ]

No mate was lowered by previous owner but not sure how low? I think it's 30

 

[LukeyyJ]

Thanks mate
