belgium clean/ carbon mk2

[geoffreydemoor]

hello my name is geoffrey and after a year on the forum it's time to post my project . i have had a clio mk2 1.2 for over a year and modded it in an extreme style but then some jackass loved my rear end so much he dicided to total the car
.

then i chose to buy another mk2 cause ive now had spare parts for touch ups .so looked around and bought an 2002 mk2 1.4 16 v with 75000 km's on the clock in november 2012. i said i wasn't gonna mod it but i have got the bug so after 2 weeks i have started . 3 months later the car had :

-carbon hood
-kw v2 suspension
-lenso bsx wheels 7.5 and 9 inch wide at the rear
-3.5 degrees of camber in the rear and a little bit at the front
- clear style rear lights
- mk3 steering wheel (non sport)
-carbon dash strips
- carbon gearstick insert
- recaro trendlines but i'm in the proces of putting the rear of the seats in carbon fiber
- de wiper
- sprint booster ( makes the lag of the electronic gas pedal go away)
- 172 door cards en rear bench
- stickers on some places
-custom gearstick surround in real carbon and leather
- us style indicators / silvervisions ( they burn constant )
- xenons in headlights 8000 k and fog lights 10000 k
-k&n panel filter
- special campus phaselift bumpers ( front and rear)only found in france
- and some odds en ends
- made the rear wheel arches a bit wider for the big wheels

to do list for te upcomming weeks are:
-completly remove bullets
-respray heart of the wheels
-full car wrap
-more carbon

pic are from the car over the last months . still waiting for the snow and salt on the roads to go away for some of the parts to go and take complete pictures

today started to clean the bullets on the car but i'ts a little bit more work then anticipated but it will get in order

 

[geoffreydemoor]

things done so far : carbon dash strips, mirrors ,rear wiper insert ,hazard panel and dial surround,
fully wrapped in matte grey aluminium
cleaned boot and bullets
wheels resprayed in clio mk4 red with gold center nut and gold nuts
monowiper
laguna splitter
number plate location will be changed once my other bumpers (originale renault) will be ready

I quite like that, much more subtitle than your old car

 

[geoffreydemoor]

thanks my with my old car i started tuning with my only idea of tuning was the fast and the furious but now did some meets and found a style i realy like and is more of this age

 

[Lawro]

That colour looks great on the clio!

 

[-J-]

Have you done anything to the interior yet?

The Carbon gear stick surround looked nice.

 

[geoffreydemoor]

some carbon bits and a 172 interiour that has seen better days but i'm in the proces of making 2 carbon backs for a couple recaro trendlines that i've bought and will be upholstered with the trophy fabric

 

[JonnyW]

Wasn't sure on your new project when I saw the first pictures.. But you've actually done a very good job with it so far!

 

[geoffreydemoor]

after a LOT and i do mean a LOT of problems with the bumpers they are finaly wrapped and put on the car together with an espace lip (2 cm ground clearance in front)
rear bumper is also ready
some on here will have to look a couple of times but this is an accual renault bumper
also mounted some sport replica side skirts UPSIDE-DOWN for more low and a diffirent look

Like this a lot

This!

I think the front bumper should have the regular diamond mounting point like on the other Clio bumpers but that is only a small detail after how good this looks

 

[geoffreydemoor]

the diamond in the front i have a little plan for . measured this weekend and it's plus minus the size of a 197 diamond so mailed up streamline and a carbon one is under way soon

Cool cool mate, I look forward to updates

Looks really well done tbh

 

[geoffreydemoor]

thanks for the good reply's was a bit off a gamble with the bumpers but after all the problems i had with them i really like them and never seen a (heavely)modded clio with those on

 

[Tr1umph]

Looks awesome!

 

[Billy.]

Looks really nice mate, very good effort! I'm not sure if I like the front bumper... But I've always had a soft spot for lenso's!

 

[Ex-User (92280)]

Dayyyyym, this is looking nice! Really like what you've done with it Nice job!

 

[Billy.]

One thing I would recommend is getting a smooth wiper blank, would look spot on with the whole smooth look you've got going on! Then you could wrap it the same colour as your car. Would look mint

Here's mine to give you an idea

 

[geoffreydemoor]

haha just orderd a carbon one off ebay yesterdag x

 

[geoffreydemoor]

enginebay update time : new carbon simota air fiter kit , k&n induction tube and repaint off the tube

​

 

[Dan...]

That looks epic! I love the front!

 

[bionic]

​it isn't an aftermarket one it's an original renault piece

is it :S ive never seen one before what are them bumpers called?

 

[Tails_]

I actually seriously love that front bumper!

Ditto to the side skirts too, good idea with mounting them up-side-down.

clio campus phase 5 (2012)

​

 

[geoffreydemoor]

update time
carbon wiper insert arrived

also orderd a black omp strut brace ( just for looks)

 

[geoffreydemoor]

got some bad news . broke down with the clio fridaynight . went to a carmeet and when i was driving home after half a km the engine just started to shake a lot more then usual en giving a pop in the exhaust once a while
no fault lights comming up on the dash so i'm thinking in the direction off lambda sensor . going to the garage monday for a readout and a sensor live reading

 

[geoffreydemoor]

clio is on the road again . problem was the trottle body gasket had a very little leak in it
then broke down again with a dead battery then the torsion bar rubbers snapped and then a punctured tire ( little bit to much problems lately)
updates again ( battery cover satin black and omp strut brace (black) and 4 new tires and a carbon front logo ( streamline)

now prepping everything this week for a trip to the uk !!!!!FCS!!!! with the gang of FRENCHWORXX

To OP I know this is a dead thread and all and you may have moved away from the car however, I just wanted to know how you got the U.S. Style indicators to work as I want to do the same but cannot figure out how too.

Many thanks in advance
