i know i had a mark 1 clio that i did up sh*t loads, spent $$$$ on it. then wrote it off with only 3rd party insurance.
i got this clio and swore not to do nething to it, so far ive lowered it, had a full exhaust system de cat, £900 ice istall lol. #
i want it chipped and possibly NOSd too...
they said to me that its not ideal to paint the plastic bits because they are slightly rough, but they told me that they try to smooth it out, prime it then paint. they also said they use an extra adhesive to make the paint "stick" better.
£200 seems alright to me, id rather have reno do it...
im having my w reg 3 door clio colour coded at reno leicester, having the back and front bumpers done and side strips colour coded.
its costing £200+ vat.
maybe try reno in cardiff?
yeh i know a 60 mm drop would wot i wud go for if i were puttin 17s on my car but im not as i explained, they just kill any kind of performance and thats what im interested in.
a 60 mm drop on standard wheels would look v low i can imagine.
im just gona go for a 35 mm drop on Pi springs...
i mean i have a mark 2 phase 1 clio ( with all red rear lights)
and i want to put on a set of mark 2 phase 2 lights, with the white circle on.
is this straight forward ?
what do u mean when u say change the wiring?
thanks tom
i had a mark 1 clio that i lowered 40mm on the standar wheels and they almost disappered up the arches!
these new clios r very very very high as standard.
so maybe a 60mm drop wudnt look so crazy>???
cheers for the pic.
you notice much difference in ride comfort??
thats the look i wana go for slightly lower, just to give it a slightly more aggressive stance.
ive got my 1.4 16v clio.
which im not "bad boyin" im more interested in mods that will improve performance, hence my full de cat exhaust k tec racing induction kit, and soon chipped.
im keeping the standard alloys 13" as i think they look nice and any bigger wud kill any kinda of...
just spoke to reno who have quoted £200+VAT.
he said he carnt guarantee it tho, sumthing to do with the bumpers being slightly rough???
how good a finish will i get then?
i wont look w**k will it??
comming into work along st margrets way in leicester and they were in the process of setting up an exhausts emissions testing point on st margrets way in leics ( right outside the st margrets footy pitches)
f**kin good job it werent set up wen i went thro with my de cat.
just thort id let...
think i might take a trip down reno leicester after work and see how much they come up with,
im guessing £200 >>>
its a 2000 w reg clio. so its only small bits of each bumper and the side strips.
shame i live in leicester.
a guy said he had his done at reno for about £200.
i thort that sounded a tad expensive, but i guess its the labour your paying for more than anything!!!!
read the how to on this and theres no way i feel confident doing it myself, plus i really dont mind paying a pro to do it anyway as it will save me time and give me a far better result.
how much have other people paid to have their bumpers and sides c/c on 98- clios??
had a fully ex. system put on my 1.4 16v, with de-cat, and a Ktec ramcharger induction kit.
the place i had my exhuast done recommended i take it sumwhere to be "tuned".
sayin that with all that extra air i need more fuel in my engine.
this true? how much this cost to get done if its...
you just shudnt touch the body of clios.
they look good enuf as they are IMO.
im getting my 1.4 16v colour coded hopefully soon, but in no way do i feel confident enough to do it myself.
anyone 1 else had it dont at a pros, just the side strips and front a back bits on the bumpers.? how...
