So picked up some team dynamics off a member on here, cheers to Tom, his BG182 looked great. Some pics: (sorry for the crap driveway photos)
Think they look great against the titanium paint! Car looks like it's sitting a little higher than usual, will probably drop again once the suspension...
So restored the headlight a few days ago, the results not too bad. Might have another go over it in the future. I think because the passenger side headlight is new it shows up the condition of the drivers side. Anyway some pics:

Currently in talks with a member on here...
That's a good idea to be fair, did you get yours from the dealer or online? Ahh fair enough, I'm in Aylesbury just down the road from high Wycombe haha
Cheers Dan, yeah it's a bit tatty but a good base to start on. I liked that because I could do some work myself on the car. Fabia splitter was on the list too, they seem pretty cheap to pick up so I'm hoping I'll get that on soon! Again your car looks mint! Are you in high Wycombe or Leeds?
Cheers Darren. Yeah the thumb grips are melted so a snappy steering wheel would be great. Refurb on the wheels is also on the list. Just spent out on the exhaust so those may have to wait a couple of months for these mods haha. Got the headlight restoration kit today so hopefully get that done...
So today I got the exhaust done, went for a custom one from TopGear in Watfod, great service and a great product! I asked for it not to be too loud, wanted a full stainless-steel system but nothing ridiculous. Really happy with the result, sounds great and I chose the big pipes to fit the gaps...
After owning a non sport Clio 1.2 and been on this forum for a few years, I now have a 182! Purchased the car a few weeks ago, it had a couple of problems so got the garage down on price. Some pics of if after a quick clean:
So the problems that are currently occurring:
- exhaust has...

Please follow the link for more information. Car being sold from Canterbury Kent.
Thanks, I'm really happy with how it sits now. Could you recommend a good car wash in Canterbury? I can't clean it myself with where I live and can't seem to find a good car hand wash around here? Cheers
Think I've seen this car on Instagram? Absolutely love it mate. Whats your plans for the current wheels when you get the new ones on? If you're looking to sell I may be Interested..
*Small update* had a rattle from the back left of the car when setting off, turned out the exhaust mount had fell apart. Common problem with the clio apparently. Ordered a new part for 9£ and finally got around to fitting it today.
New and old:
Was really awful! Easy to do if you have the...
Little update, got some fli 6x9 in the parcel shelf. Pretty happy with the result, looks great from top and typically tatty underneath. The best bit is they sound great, so much more bass inside the car. Bit chavy, so why not put a fli sticker on? Hidden behind the tints which I like, hate...
Looks like a nice start! Quite similar to what mine looked like when I first picked it up, so much has changed! I chose Clio sport alloys for mine, guaranteed a good fit then. Hope it goes well for you!
Cheers mate, I love them too!
Got a little update:
New bullets arrived today and fitted:
Also dewipered the back and replaced with grommet. Not to everyone's taste but I think it tidies the back of the car up:
Jamie
Cheers! Didn't think they were to too many people's taste on here.
Thanks mate! Limo on the back and midnight on the rear sides, think that's it anyway. Definitely darkest on the back then the one in from darkest in the sides.
Re: My Clio 1.2 Black MK2 'Dolly" **Update**
**Update**
Finally got the car lowered, got some apex springs. Pretty happy with them atm, will see how they stand the test of time. Should give other users a good idea of how much 40mm APEX springs drop the 1.2 Clios. Got her cleaned and some...
Quick little update! .. The boring stuff, changed the battery today since I've had some starting problems of late and the battery was the original one from 2004! Starts instantly now and the lights dim less under acceleration etc.. Also done a service, including oil, spark plugs and air filter...
Yeah I might do that, got them off eBay someone recommended on here, maybe a bad purchase. If the funds come in I'll buy some cheap springs and have a go
