yea exactly, its personal preference. at the end of the day, i'm the one that drives the car so i don't care what other people think of it
thats a good thing as its going to look pretty awful tbh.

It is s**t though!

its still a clio and this is cliosport after all. personally i think the new clio's look s**t. i prefer older cars like the 911, beetle, mini, golf gti, xr2, cossies. u get the picture.

I am entitled to my own opinion, which seems to be the majorty opinion of this thread.
you put up a thread saying i got this bumper for £48 quid on ebay, honestly what did you hope the responses would be? or even hope?
I had something nice to say as i posted up the astra and said what i would do.
thankyou goodnight

I sometimes wonder whether im seeing the same thing as everyone else.....
If something looks so bad (FACT) how can the OP think that it looks good?
Theres taste, and then theres plain obvious idiocy...
Are you the kind of guy who looks at the girl in the trackies pushing the pram with hair pulled RIGHHHTTT back into a pony tail and huge hoop earrings thinking "PHWOAR id tap that"

The MK1's still look cool, but mate, anything that has that sort of tacky NFS bodykits looks absolutely dire.
It's funny you mention those older cars.
Any one of them would have been a better platform for a project.

OMFG, it's not jap style, it is chavvy b****cks, no one with half a brain cell would think that looks good, no matter what you do to it. I'm all for trying something new or different, but that is neither, it is cheap tacky rubbish and will look shite, no matter what else you do to it.
Aaahh, that's better.

theres one problem mate, they were all out of my budget and i needed a car there and then. my clio is solid, got no mechanical problems and it only cost £250. i'm doing it up, selling it then getting a new car. either a mk2 golf or a r5 gt turbo
mk1 phase 1 clio RL prima
it is jap style! those bumpers first came out in japan on the street racing scene, they had them on civic's and eclipses
This isn't a dig, but do you use many forums? As the whole big kits scene died many years ago and this is reflected in every forum I use. Even if you look in the magazines like often mocked max power, you'l see that big kits just arn't "in" anymore.
mk1 phase 1 clio RL prima
the engine is solid in it mate, not doing an engine transplant until that engine is unuseable. i don't like slammed cars, they are a horrible ride, knock your fillings out. its getting a strut brace, induction kit and maybe some ph1 alloys next
CLIO PH1 172
so if your 'doing it up to sell' why waste money on shite like this bumper that will cost more to fix on, spray, ect and will devalue the car even more ???????

The reason that aftermarket body kits look s**t.
1, they are generally designed so they can be adapted to fit multiple cars, so they never fit the original likes of the car.
2, they are designed by fools who have no idea on how to design cars or even understand what makes a car pretty.
They look terrible, the only time any after market kits look decent is when its a one of done by someone who knows what they are doing.
That bumper on MK1 clio looks Horrific.

Mate its your car, enjoy it and do with it what you like. I wouldn't choose that bumper, but if you like it then fair enough. Ignore what the others say and in the future just be a bit more careful what you post, as unless it is the same as what everyone else has done to their cars you will get s**t for it!
mk1 phase 1 clio RL prima
i'm not doing a replica, the williams bonnet is half what the car is worth! then you've got to buy the wings, the wheels. just costs far too much to do a replica
mk1 phase 1 clio RL prima
you've hit the nail on the head there like mate!
Jap-style kits look great....
...on jap cars.
But even then, a lot of kits are dubious.
I'm not a big fan on "modding" anyway, seeing as unless there's LOTS of money poured into it (Like a RUF or similar) all that happens is the car becomes hideous and unsellable.

Pmsl!!!
replicas appear to be an even bigger waste of time and effort than "personalised" mods.
I know, I'll buy a 1.2 shopping trolley for a pittende, then pour money all over it to make it look almost like an RS. Which is all fine until you start thinking that you ARE driving something with poke and end up embarassing yourself.
Admittedly, the vast majority of "shopping edition" cars do look poor, but you get what you pay for
mk1 phase 1 clio RL prima
yea i agree with you on that one. i bought an rs turbo replica, looked the part, couldn't tell the difference until you popped the bonnet and saw the 1.3 engine that didn't even fill the engine bay! haha i was forever getting people trying to race me thinking it was a real rs turbo
