Awrite Just Got A Clio

[Black&Red]

Just got my first car it a Clio Dynamique S 1.4 (2007). It has no modifications done to it yet as I only got it yesterday but I am keen to get started and have a few plans. I am pretty clueless when it comes to cars so no doubt most of my post will be questions on how to do and can you do.

I will give you my plans for the car and you can give me your views. Please if you think it will look tacky or silly let me know.

(One more thing the only color I like is Red not including Black and White as a colour btw).

1st I would like to spray the silver interior trim red including handles, speedo, and round the blowers.
2nd Spray outside handles and renault badges red.
3rd Take of the Renault and Clio writing on the back.
4th Black Alloys thinking these ↓

What you think ?
5th Red Calipers.

Thats me all out of Ideas if you have any suggestions feel free to let me know.

Jonny. :rasp:

Hi Black&Red, welcome to ClioSport!

 

[Black&Red]

Thanks what do you think of my plans ?

 

[SC03OTT]

Sounds like a lot of red.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Welcome along mate, car plans sound good. Black and red theme might be all a bit much maybe?

The wheels look spot on though!

 

[Black&Red]

Can always spray them back to silver if it does look like to much but a love red so a doubt a will lol

Nice first car, Welcome.

Red inside would look ok if thats what you like. Id spray the outside handles and badges black if you are going for black wheels. Stealth ftw!

I have sprayed my vent surrounds red and they look good IMO, wheels would look well! But spraying the badges and outside handles red would be abit much, black would look alot better i think

 

[24JSeymour]

Id also go for the wheels in 17" and lower it about 35mm or more, should look sweet

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I think that looks pretty good as it is, lower it a bit and through some 15mm spacers all round and it will have a nice stance to boot. Lairy colour schemes on personal road cars just screams 'look at me' and not in a good way.

This.

You may have got away with red callipers in a 197, but not with a non sport. And you wouldn't get away with red door handles in any car.

 

[24JSeymour]

just to give you an idea of what it will look like

 

[Black&Red]

That is exactly what i was going to do what color of red is that ?

 

[24JSeymour]

Just a can from halfords, volkswagen mars red i think

 

[aldo_87]

Looks quite good with the red trim. I think you should bin the idea of red handles etc. As said above, either spacers or a nice offset on the alloys you picked and a set of mild springs and you'll have a well stanced little clio.

 

[Owen_m]

Don't do the handles red mate , colour code em imo it'd look better sweet car though

 

[CL10 CJD]

Coilovers!
Spacers
colour code
n those alloys r 5 stud not 4!
Done then IMO

 

[Black&Red]

Ok thanks for the advice and i can get the same alloys in 4 studs

Looks tidy mate. Nice place to be inside.

Search for 'Biohazard' s mk3 Clio thread. He had the right idea.
