A crime has taken place.....

[Dyewitness]

I stand before the court to present you the worst case of clio abuse i have seen in my lifetime.

I leave the jury to decide on whether the owner of this abused clio is guilty.

hang em and take the clio into care (mine) for body kit removal therapy

 

[sammy]

Not my thing. But each to their own i say...

If he/she likes it! Then fair play to em...!

 

[Dyewitness]

poor wee clio in the background must have had a tear in its headlight at what has happened to its sibling

 

[sammy]

lol

 

[cat171]

guess what.....







that is bloody awful,

it has to be in the same league as the darth vader clio,the only good thing on the car are the wheels

why do people bother, ok so it will get noticed but for the wrong reasons, and it looks like a space ship

 

[GR7]

That black Clio is ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS! What a monstrosity

I suppose someone loves it.

 

[Dyewitness]

i was trying to work out whether this was the darth vader clio, does Girl Racer still have those offending pics?

 

[Mike Wright]

No my taste but if it gives the owner pleasure then why not!

[maff]

at least it can park straight unlike the other two!

 

[billabong]

The Clio opposite is a clone of mine!!! As for the topic of discussion, it looks crap totally ott, but if the owner likes it then why not!

 

[zoog]

It is so bad I thought youd done it on photoshop or something, it s too bad to be true!

I have to say that the image of a Darth Vader Clio pleasuring its owner has put the strangest image in my head. I think I need a lie down

 

[maff]

I was thinking of getting that kit aswell!

Iv got a black clio, but from that photo, the side skirts are a bit boxy, dont like the silver mesh in back, like the wheels, and i like the lights (wasnt sure if they would look good on a black clio, but they do),

 

[Sawa]

not really my cup of tea but hey the owner loves it!!!

 

[Essex_Lad]

i dunno its not too bad!

wot eva floats ur boat!

 

[bouncy tigger]

Seen worse seen better but if the owner loves it thats all that matters not to my taste though

 

[Dyewitness]

whats with the spoiler and 4 yes 4 tail pipes? my opinion is its minging

 

[Charlie]

tell ya what...without the spoiler and slightly smaller side skirts it would look f*ckin wicked!!! also id put the exhausts in the side holes on the rear bumper.... what do you reckon then??

 

[aaronc]

one word.......................sh*t

 

[maff]

yeah i think you have a good idea there charlie, i would put black mesh in instead as well.

 

[Essex_Lad]

and de-handle, de-lock and take off the side strips, sorted!

 

[Bryan]

each to their own

 

[teady172]

My GOD I cant believe it...........................a saxo badge on a Clio!!!!

 

[ClioJohn]

ive seen that clio in person...if its the one im thinking off the body kit hasnt even been fitted right. big gaps.

it gets alot of looks, but i totally hate that body kit. that rear bumper is so bad its not even funny. carzone seem to be so popular for clios, yet imo they produce horrible body kits

 

[nfbr]

OTT.. Totally hideous.

Nice wheels tho.

[Rajk]

well you have to remember the owner has to drive around in it and us being the Clio elite generally think its pants, what would other car owners be thinking? The owner must love it, so good luck to em! I think the clio generally is a good looking car why spoil it!

 

[Viv172]

A lot of time, money and effort has gone in to that....shame you cant say the same for thought/taste.

If the owner is willing to be seen in it then good on em hope they enjoy! If they are looking for attention, then theyve got it!!!!

 

[SoLow]

the kit is a carzone kit and looks quite good irl if done well. there is one up here in Newcaslte and one on the Strathycruise site (i think) with an f40 bonnet vent. IMHO if you cant afford a 172 then a "done up" 1.2 16v is the only way left to go.

I hate the front bumper as shown but the ones I have seen have remodelled it anyway to remove things like the "nostrils" etc.

Dont think anyone on here should knock someone elses car because it is their interpretation of what they like, as what you do to your car is yours. I think the owner should be given top marks for trying, even if everyone doesnt like it.



And yes, the car looks heaps better with letter box style exhausts vertically coming out of the gaps in the bumper.



Well done for being different and hope people on the board learn to appreciate other peoples work. Remember if we all liked the same things then we would all drive the same make/model/colour/modded car and then life would be really boring. Its people that take bold steps that keep things moving.

Sorry for rant............

 

[badley]

There is a Mk2 Burgundy Clio in the Egham and Staines area that look like that, AAhhhhhhh!!!!!

Have you noticed the VTS 16v label !!!!!!

Nice wheels

Nice wheels, bet they look so good in front of them drum brakes. It suprises me to see just how many people on the modifying scene can have such bad taste, its like they want the general public to rip the piss.

Solow people like him/her arent keeping things moving, theyre taking a step back. I cringe thinking about how stupid the car would look when pulling up against a nice looking car, like an Audi TT or something. I admire youre support for the owner but JESUS if they werent a shallow, attention seeking person then this topic wouldnt exist!
