2011 Clio 1.2

[Drestar]

Hi guys,

New to all this so be gentle.

Bought this in June this year, looks pretty smart as standard to be honest but wanna make it my own so to speak, any suggestions would be massivley appreciated, just want to make it look smarter/slicker if that makes sence.

Not even sure if this is the place to ask or not.

Only one picture at the moment, more to come...

Wouldn't do too much to it mate, perhaps silvervisions and a subtle drop

 

[SC03OTT]

I agree. Tidy looking wee car.

 

[glowworm105]

Lowered mine 40mm all round makes them look alot better without making it over obvious its been lowered

 

[Drestar]

Few more pics including some interior shots, do you reckon I could do something there?

Really want some new mats and pedals, any reccomendations on what will suit well would be a big help.

Thanks,

 

[spanishbhoy]

lower it...
maybe a set of sport alloys?

 

[danzel]

Roughly the same as mine (mines silver and a TCE).

Debadge, get rid of the stickers, 45mm springs

 

[Drestar]

Thanks guys, stickers and debadge sounds good, will smoothen that boot out, get rid of the renault badge too u reckon?

More hassle than it's worth tbh, looks good enough just without the C L I O badge

Here's mine...

renaultsport mats and GT pedals will look good, thats what im using

 

[Drestar]

Looks quality pal, where are they from if you dont mind me asking ?

Looks proper smart and clean! Tips or guides on how to do it please??

its standard, thats the way the GT comes

 

[glowworm105]

The badges come off really easily there held on with a sort of sticky pad if i remember rightly i just carefully pulled them off an old bank card may come in handy

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

tbh mate i think the look great standard only thing is the arch gap get some lowering springs and that is it, inside is nice with the piano black,

heres mine and my brothers gt, i have the same mats as martin in my gt just subtle things like that makes a big difference, also i would suggest wheel spacers cause they fit to far in on all the clios, also i put a renault sport steering wheel insert in just finishes the inside off nicely

Start by heating the badge up with a hairdrier or heat gun for a couple of minutes, then using either fishing line or tooth floss, move it behind each of the letters until they come off (just held on with double sided adhesive) then use some WD40 and your nails to get the adhesive off. Takes about 10 mins

The only thing I dont like about fitting sport steering wheels into any non sport clio is the fact you have the steering wheel controls but they dont work...

 

[PP200t]

I want one of those steering wheels!!!

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

i didnt fit the wheel its standard on a gt i only put the renault sport insert in but it had use all fooled so must be good haha, the buttons on the wheel are for cruise control which they do work in my car

for the badges on the back i just got a terminal screwdriver and gently prized them off took no work really and i didnt mark the paint work

 

[Drestar]

I was thinking of getting the insert too, just finishes it off nicely.

So are those GT pedals available to buy anywhere?

yeah i think it does too, honestly couldn't tell you mate but surely there is some similar copies kicking about on ebay

 

[Drestar]

No luck on eBay at the moment, i was maybe thinking these...

OR

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

if any i would go for the silver ones, better shape and they would probs fit in better

 

[Drestar]

So jobs to be done in the near future are...

Pedals
Mats
Steering Wheel Insert
Debadge the boot.

While these arent major changes, i think subtlety sometimes looks better.

 

[Drestar]

Ohhh and not to mention, Clio Sport membership

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

sounds good to me, yeah the subtle things are better than making it look chavy with daft alloys and angel eyes, only major thing yours need is to be lower and it will be nice

 

[Drestar]

Yeah im toying with the idea, im not majorly good at doing things like that to be honest, as i havent got a single clue about what u need to do etc...

 

[Crippin]

Spray the silver mirror's the same colour as the car. I think it would look better anyways..
Why not get some dynamique alloys and have them black?
De-tango front and rear lights.
Definitely needs lowering a little.

Gonna get ripped into many pieces for saying this but... why not de-wiper it as well. After de-badging it it makes the rear end look a lot more tidy.

 

[Drestar]

Ah a fellow derbian on the forum HIIIIII Lol

Reewiper , how wud the back window get wiped! ? lol

 

[Alastair.]

These dynamique s clios were cheap cheap on finance, why has yours not got the gloss black headuinit, all ours at work have?

 

[Drestar]

Which part sorry...?

 

[Alastair.]

your cd player is the standard black and not gloss like the surround etc.

 

[Drestar]

Ahh right, I'm not sure, however it isnt a Dynamique S, possible reason why ?

 

[Crippin]

haha alright chap.
it doesn't get wiped, but you don't need it anywayss.

 

[Drestar]

I see, really needed it today though, back window was proper dewy lol.

Where abouts in DE are you from ?

 

[Drestar]

Bought these today

Pedals by drestar88, on Flickr

Now the only problem is with the accelerator pedal, just a like clipped thing that swings off, is it safe/logical to put the pedal on top of the original :S

Sorry if that sounds a dumb question, never done this before.

 

[Drestar]

Any suggestions ?

Membership pack came yesterday

Popped the sticker and tax disc holder on, and removed the stickers on the back window, looks a lot cleaner.

Until you stuck the hideous cliosport.net sticker on.
