I've got some good news and some bad :/ I got a set of four 'sport' handles but apparently the door mechanisms are different on the rear handles - They're not cable operated, they're operated by rods or something :( So I'm going to have to look into that! I've done the front two handles though...
Cheers buddy, I'll take a look into it all ;) Want to try to colour code everthing and finish the interior first :) Then I definitely want to fit spacers to the car :) THEN I'll look at brakes ;)
Wondered why you called me babe then ;) Very good point though, it's a win win :)
And that's awesome, can't wait for them to arrive! Is it fairly easy to swap the two over?
Watch this video and try this, I think it achieves the same as what AlexW & Spinksy are suggesting but with a different method :)

Hi guys,
Looking on eBay, someone is breaking up a 3dr Clio and it has the colour coded bump strips that I'd like but my car is a 5dr! - This is the world's stupidest question but would the 3dr strips fit on a 5dr? I know it's a looooong shot!
Thanks in advance guys!
It looks great so well done! It was worth it ;)
Yeah, got a few ideas :) Haven't got a huge budget ATM but hopefully after a while I'll have mine looking a lot like yours! - Definitely going to look into carbon wrapping ;)
Ahh okay, fair enough! It looks pretty ace but I want an excuse to fit...
Ahh okay, I may look into getting some new drums etc. if I can afford it! What are the benefits of getting a new set?
And I'll take a look at YouTube, thank you :)
Got these bad boys today! £20 for a set of four sports interior handles inc. postage! Complete bargian!
Don't think the seller knew their value!

Thank you very much! They were so cheap compared to others out there, most are £20 for two! Don't think the seller knew what they were worth :rasp:
Can't wait to fit them when they arrive! :)
Hi guys, spotted this set of 4 interior handles for £20!
Bargian IMO, was about to buy them when i spotted the description saying: "a couple don't have the wire spring clips" - I think I know which part they're referring to, what I want to know is whether I can swap those bits from the old...
Haha, I know, I had a read of your thread the other day ;) Thanks for the sub! Hopefully she'll eventaully look great! Just have to get the parts, resources, time, money and energy to do it all! Lol
I look forward to seeing the brakes! How easy are they to do and what's the general process? Was...

Hi, was just looking through your thread - Loving what you've done with it, I've not long got a silver 1.2 and I like a lot of your mods, especially the carbon wrapping! Just a quick one as I liked the look of it, does the front strut brace do anything or is it just for show?

Ahh okay, it probably is super easy with the right tools ;) I'll deffo look at some sports then! Had a quick look on eBay the other day for some bits :)
When you say the gearstick insert, do you mean you can literally just swap that little bit in the middle?
Talking about mods btw, what's the...
Well that makes my life a whole lot easier for when I colour code the little bits ;) It'll be the bumper etc. that'll be the hard ones ;)
Thanks for the help :)
I've trawled through a lot of the project threads and I've seen it mentioned a lot, to be honest it looks nice, don't get me wrong but it's not high on my list of mods to do to the car and IMO it's quite expensive for what it is :) I'm not going to write the idea off completely but for now I'd...
I think I understand ;)
That kind of price seems pretty reasonable to me tbh, I'll have a little look into it now and then see what the future holds! :)
Thanks for the advice BTW! Much appreciated :)
Forgot to mention those, got them for under a tenner on eBay and they don't fit properly! (You'll see what I mean if you look at the curve on the driver's side mat) Instead of sending them back I just swapped them over, I'll invest in some better mats in the future ;)
And I was thinking of...
Forgot to mention that today I decided to be a bit cheeky and swap the dash inserts from my Dynamique to Xander (Thought I'd name her...)

Hi guys, thought I'd start a 'project' thread for my Clio although I'm not planning to go crazy with it!
Picked her up on the 23rd of Jan this year - 34,000 miles on the clock and looking lovely! She's replacing my old Black 3dr Dynamique, nothing wrong with the old one but I just dislike 3...
Sounds like way too much hassle for me tbh, I didn't expect a walk in the park but all of that sounds too much ;) Thanks very much for your help though guys, much appreciated! :)
And thanks for the offer of helping out Alex, nice name btw, I'm Alex W too :L
No yeah, I completely understand that they're illegal for driving. I'm glad I'm not alone with the exterior lighting though! I genuinely only wanted them to come on when I unlock the car, make it look a bit flash and all ;)
Hey guys,
I was just wondering if it was possible to install cruise control to a 1.2 Clio Expression '05 plate?
If it is possible what kind of price am I looking at? I've looked through the forum with people doing it in 182s etc. but not in 1.2s, I haven't got the funds to do it now but I was...
