Black 1.2...

[JW197]

Hi im fairly new here, i have been a member for a while but not really posted anything. But i feel less embarrassed about the state of my Clio now so here's a few pictures.

How it looked when i first got it.. Awful tints, lights, and blue drums!! Why anyone would like to draw attention to the drums i don't know but each to their own i guess.

And after a clean

Then i got some turini's, painted the drums black, changed the lights and plates and started to colour code..

And as it stands now, with colour coded spoiler, door strips and handles. I also removed tints which was the best change IMO

Sorry about the rubbish Iphone pictures.
I still want it lowered but my insurance doesnt agree :dapprove: Also need to sort the headlights out as they are hazed.

Let me know what you think,

Thanks for looking!!

Great progress. Those tints are far from the most offensive I've seen, they look almost oem (side ones anyway)

 

[JW197]

Thanks. Yeah i have seen worse but still thought they brought the car down. They weren't very good quality either as they started to peel on the corners.

How did u take them off?

 

[JW197]

Im guessing you mean the tints? Just with a hairdryer. I heated it up a bit and because they were cheap tints they were peeling at the sides so i just pulled it away and then removed any glue that was left on the window with AG ITR.

You've actually saved that car. Well done mate, looks good!

 

[JW197]

cheers. Yeah it needed saving, i look after it a lot better than the previous owner as well. Its great to see what it looked like to start with and what it looks like now.

Good job! Nice choice with the turini's too.

Nice car you got there

Good progress so far.

Get an RS grille, totally enhances the front end.

And a bee sting aerial will look better than the long standard thing.

 

[JW197]

Thanks guys. i have been contemplating getting both of those for a while now. when the right rs grill comes along i will probably snap it up. Im also changing the number plate bulb and then the indicator bulbs. I would love a 172 rear bumper as well but cant afford one. I dont like the 1.2 bumpers.

 

[Leeshez]

Not bad at all.

Nice transformation!

Looks superb mate.

 

[JW197]

Thanks for the replies guys

Looking much better!
my new 182 has come with those ridiculous tints, cant wait to get them off, makes it impossible to park at night aswell...

 

[JW197]

yeah i realised how much easier it is to see out the back once they were off such a massive difference

Looks great..... RS Grill will improve the look a lot, One of the first things I did to the ex's car.
