1.2 clio 16v Progress Thread.



  Megane GT
I was thinking, what if you colour coded your side strips with your bonnet? Im no expert on mk2 clios, but could you perhaps get some off a 172/182 and spray them? Might make the bonnet look a bit more like its supposed to be there . . . Just an idea. And then with the RS grill Im sure itll look even better :)
 
Maybe look at a carbon fibre texture sticker for the bonnet, would make it look more "intended" if that makes sense.
Lower it 40mm, if you can do it on coileys, as your ride will be better (but this is personal preference really), and then look at a reduced sized sunstrip, that one looks a bit big IMO; but there are nice reduced ones out there if your adamant about having one.

The look you're going for could work, but it might be hard to find a "balance", but all the best to you mate and good on ya' for sticking to your guns! :)

Sorry but threads like this do my tits right in. OP, why get all pissy and antsy about what people are saying about your car so you just feel the need to reply getting all offended about it? Surely to christ you posted this thread originally to show people what you've done and to guage opinions and feedback, otherwise you'd have not bothered making this thread in the first place?

Either take the criticisms on board and act upon them, or just ignore them. There's no need to get all defensive when it was you who posted this thread in the first place so that people could say what they thought about it.

not keen on either of them..

why not save for decent rims and then coilovers?

instead of wasting money on cheap tacky mods
 
  1.2 16v Dynamique
okay mate well what rims would u recommend? i dont want to spend too much and go over the top, £200 at the most

Its so hard to take abuse from something u care about esp first car but as u said f the haters doing good job keep updated and dont always follow the croud think u do e good job sprayin wheels will be keeping an eye out to see how u get on in future
 
  Vectra
if you be patient and keep hunting round ebay/gumtree you can pick up some decent rims with decent tyres too for around £200-£250

Nice wheels, lowered it'll look good. Not keen on the bonnet but that's me. Look forward to what you do :)
 
  1.2 16v Dynamique
did you do them youself mate was it hard 2 do and how do u take the badge off the front ?

Yh mate did it myself, and the front badge is just held on with 3 clips just give it a pull and it will come off but be carefull not to snap one of the clips like my mate did on mine -.-

Haha cheers mate yh iv got my 60mm springs just need fitting.. Not alot of people seem to like the bonnet haha but ahh well i do lol think im gonna get it carbon wraped eventually

Id go with the Pro Race's and imo that colour would look awful with your car id stick with Black wheels

get yourself lowered (coilovers) + Pro Race 1.2s (Black) then will look spot on!

thought about what your going to do with bonnet?
