Billy I think the rear needs to come down a tad more (adjusted or remove adjusters) and it will look spot on IMO
Although a 172 rear bumper and cup spoiler would suit it well

Hahaa! Ach its not going to be everyone's cup of tea i suppose.
Yeah i have removed the rear adjusters and that seems to be as low as it will sit unfortunately, might actually get a set of custom springs for the rears that should sort the gap out.
I am thinking about a 172 rear bumper tbh and the spoiler, well keep an eye on this thread and you'll see what's in my next update all im saying is. It cost a fair bit for what it is

Subscribed mate
Im hopefully getting it delivered tomorrow but it will need wrapped or sprayed. But the min it comes ill get pics
Tbh my photography skills or lack of photography skills don't do the car any justice what so ever.
It looks better in person imo

Oh, ok then :rasp:
Because the front bumper is just to die for!!!
I never said it didn't have potential, but...
Front bumper is standard
If I were to advise on front bumper I would suggest ph3 bumper smoothed and wrapped
But nothing more annoying than posts that have no purpose

It looks terrible because it's been wrapped and half of it is peeling ripped and/or damaged.
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
The car looks terrible, because it is. Awful waste of time and money to produce that.
Ps. Before anyone starts flinging their toys out of their pram (Spinksy..) - Remember this is a forum, if he didn't want comments,he shouldn't have posted a thread)
Give the lad a chance to fix it
Tbf mate it's an opinion
Same as I have mine, a lot of people said the same crap about my old car so I know first hand it's annoying being put down constantly
And it's far from the worst car on the forum
Here comes the hate and fun police i see...
Maybe i went through the effort money and time to produce something completely different and unique. Do you see any other Clio like mine anywhere because i don't. Yeah its only a 1.2 but so what. I enjoy it and its been well looked after and plan on keeping it for a good few years. I have had many compliments about my car and the time and effort put into it.
Not everyone buys a 1.2 to make it a rep or buy one to keep it untill they can afford a sport.
Everyone has different tastes

I know my bumper is peeling and damaged. And if you read through it says its getting replaced and smoothed and re wrapped

i actually liked your non sport spinksy was different and stood out from.the crowd.
And yeah as you say no need for putting people down for doing something they enjoy.
Yeah some constructive criticism is not exactly frowned upon but not exactly any need for people to frankly say its s***
If it wasn't for people with different ideas for modding. Quite like us. All modified cars would be exactly the same.

Tbh this nor spinksys non sport were to my taste. Which is fair enough. But your both into cars hence why you're on here. Let's end the comments, from everyone. It's a car forum not a place to b**ch at each other
For the record I appreciate the work that's gone into wrapping it. A black spoiler could suit it better imo

I totally agree, thanks also and tbh that's actually my next mod. A black trophy/v6 spoiler
Sad to see criticism here, I personally like what you've done, wouldn't have the guts myself, but it certainly stands out in the crowd!
Plus how are the colies bud?

Ach its my choice is it i knew it wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea. But to be honest i have had had more praise and compliments than i have criticism
Yeah i actually really like the coilies. Yeah they are stiff and the ride is a bit bumpy at times but apart from that i love it. Only thing is though i wish clios had independent suspension at the back, instead if just the spring and the shockie. Be good if they could be replaced with coilies as well, only reason in saying this is due to having the spacers on the car rubs on the tyres on bumps and i struggle to have passengers in the back without rubbing away at my tyres.

yeh i had someone in the back and it resulted in chunks out of my tyre :/
i completely agree, would be easier to adjust the suspension too
Update
Well finally i got delivery of my spoiler, my first impressions of it were great and honestly couldn't wait to get it on the car. This is where a whole world of problems started happening!
1st of all took the spoiler into the garage and went to start wrapping it.... The wrap wouldn't stick to it for some reason, i have never had this problem before and couldn't understand why it was happening. So i then decided to spray it, This went horribly wrong also as the paint just reacted the minute it hit the spoiler! so basically i spent most of my time wet and drying it to get it looking new again.
Now 2nd of all i thought since i cant get it colour coded just now i thought be as well test fitting it. So i took all the bits i needed off of the old spoiler and went to go fit the brake light to the new one.... It didn't fit, had to drill out all the holes for the all the clips and for the rear washer hose, finally got that done and then the brake light fitted.Its not the best of fits as their is a gap round the edge of the spoiler and the brake light at one side, Not happy at this is its quite noticeable.
After this i then encountered my next problem! the bolts to hold the brake light to the spoiler wouldn't fit in the gap that was inside the spoiler. so i spent even more time sanding down and slightly chipping away till their was enough room for them to fit. The finally the brake light was fixed solidly in place and so it should be with all the hassle just for that one part.
Next was actually fitting the spoiler to the bootlid. Now when i went and put it up and went to line up the holes i really wasn't amused! Out of the six holes for the bolts roughly only two of them lined up. So i got the bolts in the two holes and their was an unsafe/unstable amount of play in the spoiler. So basically their was no other thing for it some of them i was able to bend some of the bodywork out of the way and finally get the bolts in (not happy about doing this) but iirc two are still missing.
I know it was a replica spoiler and tbh i wasn't expecting it to be perfect but for the £90 asking price for it i really was expecting a bit better than that.
Heres a few pics of the spoiler and the spoiler fitted, Can't really complain to much as it does look good. and tbh when its colour coded i think personally its going to look great.

Try priming it and then wrap that, should stick to a plastic primer pretty well?
Where did you get it from?
Where did you get it from?
I tried priming it, stuck a wee bit better but nothing great, still basically able to take it off with ease. I think its because its fibreglass or maybe the type of vinyl i bought. Giving it another try at the weekend.
Got it off ebay mate. Came from Italy

Fairs
Try loads of primer and rough sandpaper to give it something to stick to
Or a spray adhesive to hold the vinyl down
Then seal the edges of the wrap to stop water getting in
Other than that I'm lost for ideas haha
Haha, ill think of something. I was thinking about adhesive to be honest so might give that a bash at the weekend.
Or i might have to sand it more and try spraying it again.

Update. 1 of 2
Spoiler
Right my trophy spoiler was beginning to be a bit of a head ache with its non sticking vinyl then nothing lining up. Finally got around most of the problems.
I firstly tried fabric wrapping it as it was the only wrap i had that was sticking properly, Some people actually said it look alright but to be honest i thought it looked a bit daft! Black nonetheless though
After a couple of days of searching of other ways of getting it wrapped in proper vinyl or getting sprayed i then decided to turn to plastidip. Never actually used it before but i have heard its quite good and will basically take to anything. Gave it a bash but not really to pleased with the finished texture. Kind of feels like solid rubber.
Looks a lot better imo though.
Update 2 of 2
Right i eventually thought i would get this sorted since people were pointing it out more and more, My bumper.. It was starting annoy me my self as the vinyl was peeling everywhere and it was really badly damaged. So basically i went down to B&Q got my self an electric sander and loads of sand paper. Then a trip to Halfords for some auto body filler and some fibreglass.
Now i have never actually done repairs before using any of the stuff i had bought so i wasn't expecting this to go well at all and my first attempt went terribly wrong. Now seeing as i basically had a ruined bumper any way, I thought i would have a go at something.. Smoothed front end!
1st Attempt
Now seeing as it just wasn't turning into anything what so ever and i felt as if i made an a**e of it due to not taking the bumper mouldings off in the first place i decided to just take it all off. I know complete utter waste of money and time but it was a learning curve.
2nd Attempt
Now seeing as attempt number one was a shambles, I went to the scrappies and got myself another bumper for £25 and more filler and hardener etc. I feel this attempt has went a hell of a lot better, Now its no where near finished but heres a couple of pics of the stage i am at now.
Pics are not in the right order but you'll get the gist and the look that i'm going for.

apologies for poor pics, they were all taken with my phone and as mentioned above the bumper and spoiler aren't properly finished yet.
Sanded and filled a bit more Nearly ready for primer
Got it as close to decent as i could. Never done it before as i said but i was hoping it will turn out good.
So i got a few tins of filler primer and gave the whole bumper about 6-7 coats
Also re sprayed my splitter
and then gave my bumper about 6 coats of normal primer.
Next was to sand down my sideskirts once the primer was drying off between coats in the garage for a couple of days fairly happy with them and im sure they will really finish off the car.
Now its time to wrap the bumper,fit the splitter and also got brand new headlights in the post to freshen up the front end of the car.
Got the number plate fitted, it wont be their for long, as i have got a little surprise coming soon.
Also i have ordered new foglight bulbs so the tinting film will be getting removed also.
Got the from a polish company on ebay for £55. They need sanded to fit but their basically just sport replica ones
TT QS
I wasn't sure if they were the polish ones or not. I like them I may get a set myself
I like them, they took about a week to come and as i said they do need a but of sanding for them to fit. Ill get better pics when i do a proper test fit.
all together id say about £50. Tbh i didn't have a clue what i was doing then i started to see it take shape and before i knew i had it finished.
Titanium 182
Did you take the bump strips off or leave them on?
Took them off, kept them on on my first attempt and it just went terribly
Update
Right i got my "surprise" delivered today and couldn't wait to get this fitted. I have a feeling its going to be frowned upon on here but never mind. I like it and it'll be great for show use and also for driving use at the same time as you's will soon find out.
