Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra
I am absolutely loving this project! Loads of progress being made! The wide arch looks amazing now it's wrapped! Keep it up!
Going to be having the rear bump moulds removed and smoothed, and the sides and front moulds colour coded! Been thinking about fitting a brake light at the top of the rear window and having it removed and smoothed out of the tailgate! Want it to look as smooth as possible when finished!
Cheers buddy. Plans sound good mate! Similar to mine! Going to have some smoothing and spraying done, and then space and lower it and I'm done! I considered the rs interior but to be honest I think it's a hell of a lot of money for what it is and I'd much rather spend that on the exterior! I'm...
I'm not a lover of chrome tbh but it's a good contrast with the black! Excited to see how the satin silver looks though! Especially as it'll match the wheels! And cheers for the comments on the Ibiza mate, that was my absolute pride and joy! It saw all forms of life! Went track, then euro and...
I did consider a spoiler but mark of me quite likes the look of the car without a spoiler when it's slammed!
I'm not really into the black on black look. I quite like mine chrome but I'm having the wheels refurbed in a very light satin silver, so I may have the badges sprayed to match!
Today I fitted rear speakers. For some reason my car didn't have any but had the wiring present so I just plugged in some new Pioneers..
Also Dewipered the rear.. Made a makeshift gromit whilst I go out and buy one today! I love how smooth the rear looks without it :)
Renault sport steering insert came today! Wanted a little 'something extra' in the interior!

Also attempted to wrap my interior trim in a brushed steel vinyl, failed miserably when it came to the vents though and ripped it all off, I may try again at a later date :dapprove:
Okay so had my team heko wind deflectors arrive today!

Also had my new FK grilles arrive! It was between these and the 197 grilles, but I've always had a thing for honeycombe grills so thought I'd give these a go! To be honest they are a really good fit and changed the front...
Thanks for the advice mate! Think I'll stick to 45s! Do you think it'll be okay to run 50s on the back and 45s on the front until the rears get changed?
I've been browsing a few progress threads on here and done a few searches and I haven't seen many people who've dewipered their mk3.. Is it easy to do? Are the window plugs sturdy enough as when I have dewipered previous cars I've had problems with the window bungs/grommets being pushed through..
My MK3 has textured black stickers on the door pillar (between the front and rear windows). I've had a look and this seems pretty standard, has anyone taken them off? If so was all the paint okay underneath?
I've recently bought a Dymanique S and really like the alloys on them so plan on keeping them. The tyres currently have 50 profile on and I wish to fit 40s to them! The two front tyres are needing replacement now, whilst the rear tyres have a few months left on them. Would I be okay running 40...
Yeah I have a few plans mate! Wind deflectors are on their way to me! It's booked in at the spray shop for a full alloy refurb in light silver with gloss black badges and colour coding all round. Then I'll be fitting 20mm spacers all round ready for the AP Coilovers :)
not going to overdo it...
Some of the pictures are quite large and I wasn't sure how to resize so it was just a warning
My BMW is my pride and joy, but due to commuting 60miles daily to work, I have put 20,000 miles on it in less than a year. I wanted something that is cheap to run and maintain to use as a daily driver...
Hey all! Purchased my Clio March 2013 as a second car for commuting back and forth work!
Car History:

And now my Clio:

First thing was to change the aerial to a...
Hey all :)
My names Dan, I'm 21 from Newport, South Wales.
Currently own a 2005 BMW 318 convertible. However due to commuting 60 miles a day to work I decided to buy a second car that is cheap to run and maintain as a daily driver back and forth work.
I ended up with a 2007 1.6 Clio Dynamique...
