5dr 1.2 rep

[rhysmerritt]

Good work so far, would look better if you revert back to original chrome badges.
Remove the sport bullets and rear badges.
Spray your 1.2 bullets silver.
Source a RS grille

Still looks good would look even better with the above tho.

 

[JakeJ]

I am looking into a grill and need to go to halfrauds to get some paint at some point but i have no idea what colour haha. Need to lower it and get some spacers for the front

 

[Knuckles]

^^ brightest silver available? Raceland/rokkor coilovers are your best bet, lots of people on here use them

 

[Cro]

I might go and get some from the breakers at a later date but i like it atm. Where did you get you towing eye from? Looks really good Did you have a k-tec engine conversion on your 5 door?

No I had the cro's garage conversion. My towing eye is from a cup racer but there are decent copies out there

 

[JakeJ]

UPDATE:

After seeing sense and getting the fuel consumption of a 1*2 i have decided to return to my standard air box and engine cover unit. I didnt like how it looked so i am sprucing it up a little and pics will be on here when it is done. Hopefully it will look good and give me more MPG Also might spray the door bullets and badge white or blue while i am at it what colour do you guys think?

 

[Mister_Lee]

graphite / silver front badge

gloss black bullets with silver lettering / dark metallic grey bullets with silver lettering/ or same colour car with silver lettering

bit boring but its what id do

 

[JakeJ]

Not a lot of progress lately but saving up for some 60mm apex springs. needed them since the body conversion. has anyone has these before? if so are they any good?

Dislike the up-badging. Is mega-gay. Exhaust is gash. Other than that, it's alright. I hope the foglights were for photographic purposes only, and not an indication of the fact you have them on all the time.

 

[JakeJ]

naa just for photographic purposes haha! dont go driving around like a c**t blinding everyone :L

 

[jaycanning]

Another 5 door i'm not alone, looking good so far buddy Keep up the good work

 

[Goodj]

lose the Sport badge

 

[JakeJ]

UPDATE:...

I haven't posted on this for quite a while now but i have been busy working most of the time and the other getting handy with the paint. I have been to halfords and bought some Peugeot Seville orange paint and have been doing a few things with it . Here are a few picture of how the car stands at the minute!

A Quick mix of red and yellow smooth gloss hammerite and there you have it

Referb going to be needed quite soon i think

My favorite

Samll accident that occured during the week :'(

Got these sitting in the garage waiting to go on to the car. Should improve the look significanty

Comments and Criticisms welcome.

Looks very tidy, not sure about the orange splitter buy hey it's your car to do what you wish to To echo what a couple of other people have said ditch the 2.0 16v badges, get the standard 16v on there in that colour scheme and it'll be better.

 

[Hixle]

You could have a tidy car here mate but it looks a mess atm IMO.

 

[shanedavison28]

You could have a tidy car here mate but it looks a mess atm IMO.

I agree. However its your car IMO you have made it look a bit chavvy.

 

[Cro]

Come on dude, think about what you are painting! Lose the sport badge, 2.0 badge, paint splitter black, and dear god lower it beyond belief.... car done!

 

[Hixle]

And lose the orange. Trust me, you'll thank me when you look back in a years time.

 

[danzel]

Needs:

Coilovers
Splitter, drums, calipers, diamond + badges back to original colour
Those stickers to be removed and discarded in the nearest garbage recepticle
Original bullets (or the "smoothed" ones from the Clio Campus)
That exhaust to be burned
Cup spoiler

 

[clancy]

dont put shitty apex springs on it FFS. you spent all this money making it a rep and now your going to compeltely ruin it with some crap springs ? save up and buy coilovers mate

and loose the orange splitter, black would look a lot better. and sport badges and the exhaust for a more suttle one. and the rear doors.

other than that its looking good

 

[MDP91]

Tidy 5dr there mate, just not so keen on the splitter, orange rear drums or the amount of stickers. Just needs a few things tidied and it'll be a nice lil motor

 

[scott.p]

This thread upsets me, so much potential and yet it looks awful. Lose the Orange, stickers and that backstreet abortion of an exhaust and it will look better x1000.

Painted drums? Really? FFS!

 

[JakeJ]

UPDATE:...

Been to halfords and got some paint, laquer and primer to start the refurb on my alloys. It took all of 3 days to do 4 wheels and been out for a few photos around the local villages.
















































C +C welcome. The orange isnt going just yet so dont just go on and on about it please.
Jake

 

[Bluebeard]

This had potential.

 

[mad pierre]

I too own a 5 door. As I can't afford to insure any Renault Sport brand car, due to me having a DD40. It old, a bit batterd TBH. but run's fine, and does the job. I'm looking at a set on 15's to get it started. Here the shed.

 

[kerry-w]

It looks like a box of after eights have mated with a terrys chocolate orange

 

[Jake007g]

Splitter isn't my cup of tea, neither is the exhaust. Sort that out, get an RS Grille and slam it, then it'll look really smart

Oh and silvervisions are an amazing mod for a small amount of money!

 

[AP'Moss]

Way too much orange, what possessed you? Splitter? Drums? f**k!

This car could of looked awesome, at the minute it looks WNK!

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

Not liking this at all. It does have potential though, as people have already said.

Orange is a bit over the top and the exhaust is awful.

Love the colour of the car though.

 

[Steven103]

And it was going so nicely till terry's chocolate orange stepped in...

Think this has moved from the "nice" to the "usual pikey/chav s***" pile

 

[spanishbhoy]

why does this car still not have a rs grill yet? the orange obsession on this car has gone too far. at first it looked quirky... now with the wheels it looks awful.... lose the orange bro..... big time

 

[mugglesquop]

make sure you do everything everyone else says, as its not your car, its theirs.

 

[balax]

where abouts in norwich you from mate? Never see you around??

to much orange for me, but its your car!

 

[spanishbhoy]

make sure you do everything everyone else says, as its not your car, its theirs.

the chap has actually made a thread asking for peoples comments... which we are giving him.... put your handbag away petal

 

[Heez]

Get some spacers, coilovers, orig bullets and paint the splitter black. Orange does no favours for the splitter.

 

[mugglesquop]

i hate it.

loose the frenchness, hatchbackness and random colours.

 

[JakeJ]

The clio is starting to be refined as i have seen the error of my ways.
i have changed the front diamond and bullets to a dark anth colour and the splitter will be getting a fresh coat of satin black when i can be bothered to go to halfrauds and get a can.
I have brought a second hand powerflow centre and rear sections of an exhaust from a 172 and getting it matched to my cat as there is a major difference in size. 1 inch (standard) up to 2.5 (powerflow centre). The back box is in some need of some tlc but it is in the form of the k-tec 182 replica that bends around the wheel well .
I have also invested in the likes of an rs grill and a cheap rear spoiler that i think looks okay (not trophy or cup).
Other than that the wheels are staying orange until next year when i am thinking of getting a anth refurb. This is because i dont want to get them freshly refurb'd just to put them through the winter weather.
Hope that these new ideas and purchases change your minds about my car and hopefully more people will aprove.
C&C welcome
Thanks
Jake

 

[Dominic172]

That splitter is mental lol , sounds good. should look good when you do the above ^. not alot of 5 door reps running about i don't think

 

[Claire90]

splitter makes me think of those rover 25s lol. your new mods will work alot better nice rep tho

 

[JakeJ]

forgot to include that i have a set of 25mm each side spacers coming this week for the front to make my wheels be where they should be
thankyou for the comments guys
jake

 

[Alex5]

nice job so far but that exhaust is horrendous and the orange isnt great
