Brand new look!!..and todays hard work (56k no way!)

[Jezleaman]

Right...I get bored easily with things and my car the past months was bothering me..I liked it, but I wanted a new, fresher look...so after a couple of weeks and a few new modifications such as the wheels being painted once again in gloss white, a white showcage and the wind deflectors, were carried out and below is the end result.

Let me know what you think...

 

[Matta_88]

Ah youve stolen my wheels look phit mate... where did you get that roll cage? and the skirts? good effort buddy

 

[DazG]

Wow! I like that a lot, love the colour scheme you've got going on there :approve:

 

[bradfincham]

For me personally the wheels just stand out far too much.

Speedlines or a speedline wheel other than the cup style in white would look sexual im feeling

 

[Turner]

Love it mate them wheels really pop and the cage finishes it nicely very good job pal

 

[Jamie]

Looks good.

I would not have sprayed over the renault logo in the centre of the wheel cap though.

I would also now spray the 1.6? 16v badges white with black numbering or vice versa.

 

[Ben.]

my favourite non-sport on here imo!!

xenons and colour coding would look mint!

 

[cat171]

I'd have left the centre badge silver on them, other than that they look nice.

 

[Dean 1.4]

i like paint dimonds on wheels black

 

[Tay]

SchhhwwweeeeT !

Cool colour scheme buddy

 

[JR]

[Josh220]

[Jezleaman]

hehe...sorry fella..

I saw your pics and that gave me the confidence to go ahead with it..hope you dont mind...the cage is courtesy of a local lad who owns a compant called RBR Developments in Wellingborough,Northants..went to primary school with the lad and the sideskirts are replicas off ebay...£75 delivered if i rememeber correctly.

 

[Dansta]

Where are the wind deflectors from? and do they work well?

 

[Jezleaman]

Again they are from ebay..and yea they do work pretty well!

 

[Greeny.]

Really nice mate, love the white cage.

Maybe do the Renault badges in the centre caps black to break up all the white slightly?

 

[Matt_Clio172]

Looks fliping lovely. Spray the badge on the side white too match!

 

[BoomOne]

looks really nice man! whats the drop you got?

 

[Chrisjk]

Looks great, better than before imo, but sort the lights out, xenon effect bulbs if you can't stretch to the real thing.

 

[Jezleaman]

looks really nice man! whats the drop you got?

Its on FK Coilovers supplied by Russ dude...the rear is on its lowest setting plus with the added weight of the cage,but the fronts still have a way to go..

 

[BoomOne]

looks really nice. i want that one day. are coilovers alright for everyday use?

 

[DH_GTI]

Ive put Poorboys wheel sealant and AG SRP on them today so that will protect the wheels a bit from brake dust etc so should make them much easier to clean..and im also a cleaning *****..

nice! how did you fit the side skirts if you dont mind me asking

I had them fitted proffessionaly mate

 

[jayxx83]

[Jezleaman]

[quikshine]

looks fantastic! I have the same car, and looking at new wheels and to put skirts on her! Can you remember the username of the seller on ebay you got them from? They all seem to be from Poland! What is the quality of them like? Theres one seller on there who will paint them for another £60... did you do that or arrange to them painted professionally? what did they charge to paint/fit them?... Hope you dont mind me asking, but just trying to guage roughly how much its gona cost me!

 

[mini-valver]

Found the 16's killed acceleration though so swapped back to 15's.

yeap his ebay username was "carlovincriminals" lol!..sounds so rubbish! but yea they fit well and seem decent quality..i had them professionally painted and fitted at the same time,they bolted and bonded them onto the car..cost me £200 i think mate...hope this helps.

yea you're not wrong there bud...had to put my old dynamique 15s on while these got painted and the acceleration was much better,the wheels are so much lighter aswell...that reminds me...need to get my tracking done soon!

 

[Limca]

bloody awesome

 

[Jezleaman]

Thanks JLO...hows the new machine?

ahh cool thanks, thats who I was going to buy from, but then saw another seller "

uni_car_tuning" had them and also painted them for £60 more making it £125 for everything including delivery! I would just have to sort out fitting them...

look at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-SIDE-SKIRTS_W0QQitemZ230178238639

I take it you didnt change the standard side wings etc.. I thought about getting 182 wings and front bumprt, but dont want to go down that more costly route anymore especially on this 1.2!!

Cheers bud..

 

[Guppy]
