1.6 16V Project!

[S Garbett]

Hi Everyone, I thought I would post some pictures of my new Renault Clio Mk2 Ph2, 1.6 16v (2004) and its progress. It’s not going to be heavily modified just nice and subtle.

Here are photos on the 1.6 16v

I am putting my 1.2 16v back to standard and transferring a few bits over, colour coding, suspension, wheels etc.

What do you think?

Cheers Steve

I took delivery of the Clio and later found that the front passenger wing had a crack in it! Wasn’t happy and the garage only gave me £40 to get it repaired. They said that it wasn’t there when the delivery guys left it so it must of happened in my care.

I have now bought a black wing so just waiting delivery, then going to fit it.

So the paint work needs attention so I started machine polishing today, spent 3 hours and only got the passenger door and rear quarter done. Here are some photos.

Cheers Steve

Looking good buddy, good to hear you got a wing sorted out.

[S Garbett]

Well got a nail in the 1.2 tyre over the weekend. Had to put my 15" Wheel back on the rear.

Heres the last pictures of the 1.2 with lowered suspension. The 1.6 wanted to get in on the picture too

 

[S Garbett]

Highered the 1.2 over the weekend so the standard suspension went back on. Ready for it to go onto the 1.6 soon.

I want coilies but going to put the -60mm on the 1.6 because they are working fine and cant justify spending 500+ ATM!!!

[MT AUDIO]

Door handles took a bit of figuring out at first but were fairly easy when knew how.

Make sure you unscrew the screw where the window controls are. Give it a bit of a pull and the door card should come off without a problem.

Cheers Steve

 

[fuzzi]

looks smart mate like the colour coding. keep up the good work

 

[S Garbett]

Today (Wednesday 19th March 2008) lol

We did the other sides colour coding. Heres the wing mirror on the 1.6, Looks so much better.

Heres behind the door card before re-fitting it.

Also changed the side strips over and put the standard 16v bullets back on.

Swopped the rear normal indicaters with silvertec ones

Looking good! reminds me of my old one. Bet its a nice step up in power from the 1.2? remember how quick mine felt when I first had it.

 

[S Garbett]

Not really drove it much tbh pal, Waiting to swop things over and get it on the road for April 1st. But i bet its a good step up from the 1.2.

Steve

 

[S Garbett]

Well Tuesday 24th March 2008

Decided to swop over the scuttle panels.

Heres the 1.2 After we had removed the colour coded one.

Standard Scuttle panel back on now.

And the wippers back attached, No one said lol how had they were to realign on the window.

Heres the 1.6 after the standard scuttle panel had been removed

Colour coded one now on the 1.6

Got to say congrats on finding a Black Ph2 1.6 looked for 3 months couldent find one worth buying rare a f**k ! ended up getting a Mk3 1.6 instead

Looks good though

 

[S Garbett]

Also on the 24th March 2008 we changed the rear boot lock diamond and wipper surround.

How the 1.2 was before.

Standard surround back on now and diamond

and rear wipper back on. Still colour coded! but thats staying

Cheers Steve

 

[S Garbett]

Todays Challenge was to change the Rear Bumper! 27th March 2008

Heres after we removed the 1.2 Rear Bumper.

Now we have fitted the standard none colour coded bumper

All back together now

Now we swopped them onto the 1.6

Before we started it looked like this

After the rear bumper was removed

Now all back together and colour coded.

Looks better me thinks.

Cheers for the Comments.

[S Garbett]

The Reason why the boot lock is taped up is because i am spraying the pusher button which is between the Renault Diamond.

In Progress pic......

[bmh.01]

Swapping the magnex over at some point? Or not got a standard exhaust for the 1.2?

 

[S Garbett]

Yeah got the standard exhaust for the 1.2 but its in 2 lol, Not really sure how to put it back on the car.

Any ideas??

Will the magnex fit the 1.6??

Steve

 

[Alexander]

wow thats proper colour coded, and here is me thinking that its just the bumpers and bumper strips that need to be done. looks really good, and also well done on finding a 1.6, i tried for ages before i became fed up and and settled for a 1.4

 

[S Garbett]

Yeah went for everything colour coded while in the bodyshop. Only 200 notes which i didnt think that was bad!

1. Front Bump strip
2. Rear Bump Strip
3. Wing Mirror and Surround
4. Scuttle Panel
5. Handles
6. Bump Strips
7. Side bullets (Now spray my own)

Depends on the bore as thats the only difference between all the 16v non rs systems. Cut off was lazy! You'll need a sleeve and get it welded back together to refit it.
