[Dean Mac]

Hey Clio enthusiasts

Below is my clio which i want to enhance cosmetically...
...Sugestions of any kind please, i want your opinion!

In progress

• Sport Grill: Ordered.
• Clear Indicators: Ordered

Thoughts

• Lower 60mm on spax springs
• Lightly tint back 3 windows
• Exhaust?

Thank you for looking and voicing your opinion

 

[Kneel]

pink wheels

 

[Dean Mac]

The ladies would love it!! haha, pink...makes the boys wink, so defo not lol

 

[guysy]

Get the grille on, Lower it.

Then think about wheel change, Colour coding, Sheep mods, Sport rear bumper, K tec recessed or stealth exhaust...

For me personally...

 

[elliottdalton]

big Phat Wide kit and jack it up on 22" spinnerz!

 

[Jordi17]

spray it silver

 

[Hazza]

When i think of a black car, i think of stealth, go for the stealth look.

Black wheels, lowered. DONE

Oh. Tyre shine also.

Sounds good to me! what are sheep mods?

Cheers for replies!

 

[k-tec172]

Take the front badge off and get it carbon covered

Cover it in wool!:rasp:

 

[mat-nos]

lower 60mm, rs grilles and silver visions, done

 

[Paulf]

Colour code the f&r bumpers and side mouldings and lower it but not too much.

 

[-Tommy.]

If I had it I would probably do the below mods in order...

drive it home
dewiper
spray badges black
lower on coilovers
dished 15" wheels
sport front bumper
colour code rear bumper

Marvel at the beauty.. while booking in for a retrim

The mods everyone does, But theyre done for a reason... they look good

Silvervision bulbs (silver indicators to remove the orange), Clear side repeaters, Colour coding, RS Grille, Lowering...

To name a few for the non sports.

 

[Brookie.]

They way i see non-sports, you either...

1. Spend as little as possible to make it look good, by lowering, RS grill and possibly colour coding depending on the price (but yours is black anyway so the plastic trim doesn't jump out).
2. Go all the way and make a FULL 1*2 rep.

Anything in between just seems like wasted money to me. But hey, it's your car mate

 

[Camble]

Looks a tidy motor mate!

Regarding the modding advice there are so many subtle mods you can do, from painting your calipers to building a rep like "eikoorb" said, the grille and side repeaters do make a huge difference!

It' a question of finance, personal preferences and so forth...What the majority of guys/girls on here will tell you will be completely different to what you like/want.

 

[brownale01]

stay away from window tints..... that is all

 

[JCC]

Don't bother buying anything just now, save your cash and wait for some cheap/second hand coilovers and deck it. If I could redo my old 1.2 all over again the first thing I'd do is put it on coilies.

I can see what your saying here, I spent £110 on second hand Eibach pro kit springs as the drop wasn't that much, Sportlines i think i would have been completely happy with..

However the money i saved with springs instead of cheap coilovers, I got 16" 172 alloys and the extra inch made the arch gap look so much better. Which im now completely happy with.

Think its just up the individual.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

List should be something like this....

Coilovers

Wheels (15"s Pref as if you like low cars 16"s are pointless on clio's as it will never be low)

Ph3 front bumper (looks far better than ph2)

 

[st3ve]

This;

 

[k-tec172]

Yeah get it looking something like that!

 

[Dean Mac]

Thanks for everyones comments!


The aove clio,...YES!! would love for it to look something like that! Just installed the sport grill today, THB made a significant difference.

Im wanting to spend a moderate amount...so coilies :- yes

Ill keep the wheels standard probably, just little things to detail make such a difference like the indicator bulbs, i have them coming through post...steady away i guess. Thanks for everyones opinions and the photo mate, will keep in mind!

Dean

 

[JoeyD]

St3ve's clio was mint, as you can see.

Done in matte black.

 

[Dean Mac]

well looking sound to me, when i sell it off in two years or so a problem may occur to the next owner regarding the fading, atm luks alright now so i guess i better stop complaining lol

 

[Beef-Mc]

Don't forget the cup spoiler!

I miss my black shed :dapprove:

 

[JoeyD]

i wish they weren't as expensive as they are ffs!

 

[st3ve]

Cup spoiler isn't needed on a non sport imo, 172 spoiler looks fine.

With regards to a faded grille get some of this;

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_194599_langId_-1_categoryId_165651

Works a treat, restores it and it's effects are much longer lasting than that original black lark.

 

[Steviant]

I like the hanging basket modification, but personally would go for pegonias instead of pansies in there.
