Remove the sidelights completely. It looks much better, and it's free. Just keep them in the car ready for MOT time.

 

[Struggler]

lower it!

get some springs for about £60,
ph2 door strips
paint callipers
paint the drums (black!)
exhaust
air filter
de-wiper the rear

If you really want to modify it well, save all the money you're spending on little things for a little bit longer, buy some Rokkor coilies and deck it.

Window tint

i spend money on tints once, tore them off a month or so later because i hated the look, (unless youre going to tint the fronts too)

How do you fit mudflaps to a 05 plate clio 1.2?

so why post the thread, without spending a little dough it'll continue to look crap?

cos i want cheap stuff to do to it, not paying 150 + for the rokkors, then paying to have them fitted, its stupid if im selling next year i just want other little bits to do

Window tint

HAHA

 

[Keith Lemon]

In that case you might aswell save your money and put it towards the 172, instead of wasting it on a 1.4.

Agreed. If you're planning to sell it, why spend money on it? With all the stuff youve bought already, you probably would have had enough to buy coilies.
Don't tint your windows. Clio's look ridiculous with tints.

 

[todd100]

i think im gonna wait for ma 172 now, save for coiles and some ronal turbos

Turbos??? Plural???

 

[rossd10]

honestly m8,its as hard as because there isnt anywhere to fit them to

 

[Struggler]

I do have my Fronts done just not very dark cause of the law about the % of light need through or something

any tint on the front is illegal, they need to let 70% light through, and theyre all tinted from the factory.
