they are kei force 10's i think they only come in silver, matt black. i refurbed mine in ford graphite grey metallic, but there would be no reason why you couldnt get a set and do them white
i got replica ones off ebay, mine are from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-SIDE-SKIRTS-SUPERB-LOOK-NEW_W0QQitemZ220245624139QQihZ012QQcategoryZ72208QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i have just started to fit them, did a test fit before painting them the other day
when i did it i took the cap off from inside the door, used a screw driver to push out the pin (which is below the first tab) then it popped out meaning it could be slid towards the back of the car
Thanks guys glad you like them i think they make a massive difference, stops the car being 'front heavy'
i finished laquering it today so hopefully i will get it fitted tomorrow depending if the step dad nabs the car for the day
i think self tapping screw and adhessive will be fine. tape the skirt in place whilst it dries. and if it still isnt sitting flush then find something to hold the skirt in place. one suggestion is to park the car near a wall then use the wheel jack between the wall and the skirt. windding it out...
only some one of when i cleaned it mate (as shown in a thread in media), no new developments yet as have been snowed under with uni course work.
standard rear bumper is on as i paint the 182 rear bumper
cheers guys, yeah im not sure about the door protectors, the previous owner obvious open the door into stuff as there are chips on the edge of them. i think the garage i bought the car from stuck them on as a quick fix to hide the chips
for £30 its not really worth the hastle and if you got customs duty added it would be pretty much the same. when i got my canon 28-135mm i got it from abroad, came in at £220 posted which was a bargain as jessops sold them for £550 at the time

hi guys,
some pikey at the garage i got my car lowered at nabbed my fog light bulb and mounting (leaving the lens - i didnt realise till changing my bumper over). i was therefore thinking about fitting a cold air feed from the fog for my induction kit. what size trumpet fits into an RS front...
if you do it yourself you will need 1 - 2 cans of grey primer, 1-2 cans of paint (may need to get the colour mixed using your paint code see www.auto-paint.co.uk), 1-2 cans of laquer and a mix of sandpaper (probably 240grit, 800grit, 1200grit).
or you can take it to a bodyshop like james did
just duplicate the layer and adjust the saturation and play with the levels to get the sky to how you want, then use and eraser and delete the buildings etc or whatever you dont want as saturated
yep i have done it, it requires some modification though, the back bumper is a straight swap
i have made a how to guide mate, but you will need to be a proper member to view it

yeah its a really pain to match, its pot luck with just using the paintcode, my doorstrips and handles are a good match but my bumper seems a little blue where it meets the wings in some light / angles. its hard to match silver at the best of times but this is worse as its not really one colour...
my brother got a UDM (ultra detailing machine, pretty much the same as a porter cable) from autopia it came in a bag with pads etc you would need a 110v tranformer though, might be easier to get a uk one now, he got his last year so it worked out much cheaper to import it...
looks good mate,
i will be the first as no doubt someone will say it. 'silvervisions' lol
plans sound good, get some clear side repeaters mate, and get it lowered
yes i would definately recommend a speedlight, the standard pop up flash isnt very good tbh. have a look at metz flash guns as an alternative, , they are powerfull and are pretty easy to use. this is the one i have the metz 45 cl-4. i also have a canon 540ex which is pretty good and might be...
yup added the sky from another pic i did i prefer it in colour mind, also added the moon reflection in the water. i took quite a few sea long exposures at the time, just decided to mess about with this one
the sea looks like ice/glass on a long exposure
for a ph2 its a straight swap, takes about 15mins and you dont need to remove the archliners, however not all the holes on the non sport archliners line up with the ph2 172/182 rear bumper but its still secure enough
