Anything I can do to sharpen the front?

[Thomaspaddock]

I dont want to go down the route of making my clio a 172 replica, I'm looking for a rear bumper but not bothering with the front,

because i dont want the 172 front, is there anything i can do to the front of my clio to make it look a bit sharper/nicer?


Ordering the 3/4 plate as we speak, is there anything that I can do, to make it nicer?

thanks

:approve:

Not going to really be a 172 replica then? unless you're leaving the bumper but putting the wings / skirts ?

However, if you are leaving it i would

Colour code the plastic trim.
RS Grill(e?)
Skoda Splitter
3/4 Plate
A good clean and polish

+ depending on the look you're going for the Si style Tow Eye can finish it off.

Haha so you did say that, my bad i was skim reading!

Some people say you have to remove the front bumper to get it out, i'd personally do that just incase any clips snap + its only a 15minute job to get the bumper out. Others say it can just be 'pulled' out by using something to pry it but thats too risky damage to paintwork!

Have a search around on here, plenty of guides and people giving tips for it. Not too hard

I agree, they do look awesome, but if you're changing to 1*2 wings you need to skirts too that need to be secured on, nearly a rep at that point! haha
