16V bonnet and arches

[JonnyM]

quick question, i have a clio 1.2 phase 3 (i think!?) its the one with headlamps like the rsi, but it got front ended the other night and i can get hold of some 16v wider arches and a 16v bonnet cheap, i was wondering first if the bonnet and arches will fit but also would the square style headlamps fit? as id need to get the square ones to match the bonnet, are the mounting holes the same or simalar or are they in a totally different position?
any help would be great, thanks a lot

the wings will fit straight on, you just need to flare the bumper slightly, pack it with washers so its straight as possible.

ive heard the headlamps dont fit the front panel on the phase 3 but this is from someone who doesnt have a clue n im pretty sure with a bit og grinding and persuasion you can get them to fit no probs. even if the mounting holes dont line up just drill your own n bolt it down.

iv managed to get wings and bonnet on, i already had the 16v bumpers so that was no problem, just waiting for my new lights to arrive, im sure il find some way to get them to fit *fingers crossed*
thanks

I've done this conversion, lights fit fine.

Yes, it's a phase 3.

Did you solve the problem of not being able to get to the headlight adjusters? Just made a hole? Or was it there?

I can't remember on mine.. I know the interior height adjustment won't work..

 

[Rip3z]

Well I assume the adjustment is just turning the little white things normally? Because that's what adjusts mine, turns out the other headlight has no adjusters - might have been why I was having a problem lol.

do all the plugs for the headlights ect fit straight in?

 

[Rip3z]

Yes, all except the adjuster plugs (because ph1/2 is manual, ph3 is electric) so they will just be loose.

well i have my arches and bonnet on, just waiting for the headlamps to arrive tomorrow...
