errr 1*2?

Good start, what springs you got in the rear?

its on Rokkor coilovers (there not that bad tbh) it just looks odd because its on a hill, i have a pic of it on level ground i'll upload it soon:)


Yeh standard dynamique alloys. Are you modding it ?

ahh okay cheers:). i probably will eventually but coilovers will do for now. i want to colour code it etc. but im not sure if i should spray things myself incase it starts flaking off.

doesnt look like a campus either. looks like a mk2 ph2/3

front bumper isnt campus

As for the sport badge i genuinly have no idea why its there i just assumed it was because its a campus sport. i'll take it off later:approve:.

I used T-cut due to having a bottle in the shed. It seems ok on plastics but its a bit shite on anything else. Im tempted to buy some Autogym but im not sure if its much better.

if its not campus what is it?

as for the Rokkors they go pretty low and the ride isnt bad, the build quality is just horrific. Never seen welds quite like them in my life.

I'm sure jd or gally will be over to correct me shortly but autoglym SRP and EGP (super resin polish & extra gloss protection) are a good start for a beginner. Use the 2 bucket method when washing (1 with some car shampoo in and hot water and the other with hot water to rinse your MIT before putting it back in the shampoo bucket) and also get a proper wash MIT and a drying towel.

I would be a campus, but not a sport.

Pearl black does look nice when clean, mine needs a good machine polish. They are a PITA to keep looking nice tho!

Its a sport! heres a pic of the badge on the inside of my drivers door and one of my sisters campus.

maybe the sticker and bumpers are something renault change between the standard campus and the campus sport?

thanks for the advice about the autoglym i think i'll get myself some tomorrow aswell as a mit:)

Yes it maybe a campus sport but it's still a halfords sport badge, the only Clio with a sport badge on the boot is a proper 2.0 sport

So.. Loose the badge.

Nice car though mate

Clio campus' are the worst looking Clio since time began. That's nicely disguised as a non-campus haha :approve:

T-cut used on plastics !? Je ne comprendé pas...

Whatever it is, bin it and get something half decent at least, like the AG stuff. I used to use SRP / EGP (before I bought most of CYC's back catalogue :dead:) and got some pretty cracking results on my old black ph1 :D

by plastics i mean bumpers etc. it doesnt work so well on the bonnet.

Can anyone here photoshop? i really want to see what my car looks like with yellow diamonds and different wheels.

its so hard finding parts on here people snap them up so quickly!.

What product is it though ? They make polishes, waxes, shampoos and other things ....

Look through the media section, there's literally a forum full of pictures of Clio's that have all done things you think of before ;)
