Wheels on finally!!!! il let the pictures do the talking....... Love how it looks right now, just needs an all round tidy up and finishing touches

sandpaper to key it, plastic primer, whatever colour paint you want and lacquer. you will need degreaser aswell to wipe it down with before painting it, you can only spray the hard plastics, the main part orf the dash is a big job if thats what you are planning

thanks mate :approve: fixed the mirror in 2 minute, it was just annoying it had happened as it could of been worse. Yeah the wheels look perfect on the car, gunna be a week at least until it happens though :(

Hello everyone, apologies on the late thread updates, things have took a massive change these past few weeks, not for the car but for me, so work has been slow, so il just put a few pictures of how its looking at the moment to see what everyone thinks. Still havnt managed to get the 172 wheels...

lots has gone on these past few week, il explain and get more pics up tomorrow, but was dying to get a few up, lows and exhaust finally on, just waiting on my spacers being made and then the wheels can go on too! yes yes i know i needs a wash haha

Thanks mate thats a massive help. Noticed a few people saying they didnt like that splitter, I think it looks nice, il definately get on with fitting mine. Love the colour of your clio btw. like the simple styling too thats what im going for. I should be ok fitting it, just need to know whats...

Stubby ariel arrived today, along with smd foglight bulbs, and a new rear number plate light cover as mine was very yellow. Got a megane splitter too, off a mk1 cab. anyone know if its a straight fit of will i need to cut it down? cheers

Well iv been shopping today. and picked up a set of 40mm lowering springs and shocks :D will be doing the clutch soon so they will be getting fitted at the same time along with a few other bits and bobs, also think iv managed to find some spacers and longer bolts to get the 172 wheels on...

Yeah Iv done them myself, they were a huge pain in the backside to be honest, basically whoever had them before me must of curbed them every single time they parked it, and the rim had sort of mushroomed, so a ran around the inside and outside with a rough half round file, then used a P80...

maybe these would be better http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-2-98-01-BLACK-ANGEL-EYE-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS-PAIR-/221000309260?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3374a51a0c

After owning almost every small hatchback there is to own, the clio always comes out on top, welcome though :)

Hi and welcome :) what questions do you have about your car?

Wow that makes a huge difference, making me want to get the sponges out, although its raining so I may give it a miss for today haha, top work though :D

Update: Due to the rain putting finishing the wheels on hold, and not yet having the spacers made for them, I did a few other bits and bobs over the last few weeks: Silvervisions front and back: clear side indicators: L.E.D sidelights (look better in the dark): Painted front diamond...

pics of the wheel i got finished:

Silvervisions, clear side indicators and parcel shelf fitted last night, got one of the wheels in black aswell, tried to go for satin black but it looks too shiney, so may have to go for matte black instead, anyone got some pics of 172 wheels in matte black?

Haha nice one mate, the plans in my head look awsome so hopefully my skills can keep up with them cuz like I said il be doing all the work myself

To be honest I dont want to go down the RS replica route or anything like that, the wheels are going to be black, and im going to do all the plastics aswell, to stick with the black and red look, sorry dude :(

paint them anthracite , makes a big difference :

Silver visions arrived today :D. Going to get started on the 172 wheels next few days, been a bit distracted building a go kart at work :p will get some pics up if anyones interested?

What did you use to seal it? I just took the whole thing out, gave it a damn good clean as it was filthy, then run some sikaflex round the rim, plopped it down, then beaded the edge of the roof so its completely sealed, iv heard people using the gasket set from renault, however iv also heard...

Haha yeah, well full list of things that need doing or have been done are scattered about, going to get it mechanically sound 1st before starting on the exterior, should get it all done with change to spare out of £300 as il be doing all the work myself. Car has done just over 65k, and i paid...

Thanks mate, like i said im always messing with it haha so il try and take pictures along the way, need a better phone though for better pics. Iv also had to reseal the sunroof the other day, that was fun haha

Evening all, was going to wait until id got a few months into both projects, however as im bored sat inside bored due to the rain, I thought I may aswell start a project log for my clio, which also will involve the progress of my partners clio, so 2 for the price of 1 in this topic :D Only had...

will I need longer bolts with those? thanks :D

that would be great. Thankyou :D

If the panel gaps dont line up right it could be out of shape and no matter how much work you do you will never get it right, new bonnet is always best, even a second hand one in a close enough colour and pay for it to be sprayed.

JCB yellow :rasp:

Thanks that's all I wanted to know :D

Ok thanks, new to the site so wasnt sure, will have a look around :D
