Really nice car !! some very attractive stuff you have done. I have never seen those speaker grilles either and I have never seen these seats either:
subscribed !
I prefer the orange indicator bulbs and orange side repeaters on a black car, everyone else seems to disagree though.
Stunningly clean mate, i clicked the pic above to get the full resolution and it looks lovely - almost brand new. You missed a bit under the number plate though :tongueclosed:
I like the battery cover a lot. Can you link to where you bought it from. Did you need to drill into anything to fit it?
Also spotted the suspension top mount covers , they look good too, where are they from?
Cheers

It looks good, even has the lift up collar for reverse.
Needs a leather gaitor though and I think it would look good with a carbon fiber tube to cover the metal shaft.
Think I prefer the BBS wheels. Are those 5 spoke ones from an early Audi A3?
Your car looks in stunning condition - almost new . Hardly see any mk3's on the road these days. Like you say, in the sun when its nice and clean there is no other colour that comes close to dragon green.
Could be wrong but I saw on another forum he has got a twin exit exhaust recently and I must say it sits very well. Got the best of both worlds - spare wheel well and twin exhausts which is nice.
Do any of you know if its possible to buy new bumpers off Renault?
Just an idea but you could get the front bumper sprayed at the same time to save a bit of money as they usually have stone chips etc.
Hi @Steven103 , after having a sit in your car and trying your Recaros I knew had to get some. Theres a really good place near Amersham that I go to now and again called Wheels in Motion. Im going to get them to set up the coilovers (perhaps fit them too) and also fit the tyres at the same...
Was on Ebay a few weeks ago and saw them - emailed the guy and asked a few questions - the seller asked if I knew simon (chip mk1) as he had bought a set. I talked to chip and he said that the seller was sound and not to worry even though he was in Austria. The seller had bought a load of...
I think some darker wheels would look good. These would look fantastic and are much lighter too.

How worn down are the rears? I would keep them on the car if they have life left as you probably wont be going that quick in this weather anyway. In spring you can always swap the fronts to the rear and get new PS3's for the fronts. Everytime I type PS3's I keep thinking of playstations tie...
Now there is probably a load more stuff that I need out get out of boxes which I will do later. BUT... my favourite thing by far is next....
They stopped making these years ago and they are pretty hard to come by as well as expensive even second hand. Imagine my amazement when I found these...
For suspension I have gone with Bilstein B14 - managed to get a fantastic deal with @dann2707 on these from Germany - Usually they are £700+ here in the Uk but only £560 from Germany.
I have always like the V6 Trophy spoiler but finding real ones for sale is quite hard so bought the...
I like the standard anthracite 182 wheels, they look right and will be keeping them as spare wheels but have always wanted a set of turinis. I have not been sure of what colour I wanted so get a set of silver and trophy ones. I preferred the trophy ones so sold the silver ones.
the trophy...
Next up I decided to get a brake upgrade. I spotted these on here a while back and they have been completely reconditioned - new seals , pistons , powder coated in porsche yellow (not my first choice but starting to come around). They are peugeot Brembo 4 pots, with motrex performance adapter ...
Over the last few months I have been collecting together the bits and pieces that I am going to be using. The intention is to start the project off after the new year.
OK so on to the stuff thats going on to the car:
First up was the stereo - I do a lot of driving around so need to be able to...
Been driving around in Renaultsport Clios since I got my first 172 in 2003. Ive never really done much apart from general maintenance with my previous clios but have enjoyed every minute of driving them. Seems everyone posts their old cars so here are mine:
Clio 172 - ran it from 2003 - 2010...
