Clio 1.2 16V project

[gaz_360]

My clio 1.2. Got it back in march and gave it a really good clean up and full service. Only mods so far have been the 172 alloys, but hope to get a sport grill sorted soon

Any advise on any other mods?

colour code strips and rs grille
rs spoiler deffo needed
lowered slightly on springs
and the sport bumpers for sure

 

[gaz_360]

Cheers for the quick replies lol. I was defo thinkin bout goin down the colour coding route, would transform the car tonnes. Unsure on the lowering mostly due to the cost , but i'd love to give it a go. Do those smaller aerials cause any loss of signal, cause its already pretty hard for me to pick up stations as it is?

Ahh that brings back memories of my old 1.2.... I miss that car!

Looks really good with those alloys, how much is that lowered by?

 

[Jordi17]

Lowered by 40mm on Apex springs. Kept to tidy/subtle mods, such as the Dynamique/sport rear spoiler, foglights, colour coded wing mirror covers, RS grille, calipers painted silver, grey badges etc.

Also, clear side repeaters and indicator bulbs, make such a difference.

 

[gaz_360]

To be honest I didn't notice them till you said lol, they do look well better though. Any idea where I could get some clear ones from?

 

[Jordi17]

Alot of the above mentioned is from the front and minor touches (apart from wheels and height) But as said, do make a difference.

Clear reps can be bought from ebay.

 

[gaz_360]

True, the little touches make them look a million times better.

Thanks, ill have a search for em now (Y)

 

[tommys]

tidy car mate.

I got the same colour, this is how mine looks so far;

I've put some aero flats on now, and a short aerial.

 

[danzel]

clear indicator repeaters + silvervisions a must!

Niiiice, the 182 alloys really suit it good as well, I was really torn between which ones to get. Have you got any other pics of the front and rear colour coding?

Thanks... I loved that car!!
Tbh, I didn't want to colour code me side strips, as I don't think that you'd be able to get a perfect match and quite liked how it broke up the silver (and matched my wheels lol)
I painted my callipers red... It's your best bet tbh!

Mods on mine were:
- tints :S (wouldnt have tints again)
- stainless exhaust system made by Longlife
- lowered around 60mm on vmaxx coilovers
- dynamique 15" alloys, sprayed anthracite
- dynamique/1*2 spoiler
- sprayed Renault diamonds and wing mirrors orange and orange 16v lettering on the bullets
- did have a sound system in there aswell, brap lol

It's a shame that my girlfriend now owns it

<3

 

[Harpham]

Oh and can I just say, is there any point getting an RS grill? Doesn't make that much difference IMO, so not really worth the 50 odd £

Yeah

I highly recommend getting the front colour coded, if anything. It makes such a difference.

 

[tommys]

Also, the rear bumper is off a 172.

Loving the thread
i have the same Clio as you but mines isn't the 16v
i think you should colour code the trim, i got the clear side repeaters on good old ebay heres a link : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330434890685&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Heres my car

Got some french aluminum regi plates for it that i havent put on yet
really should start a progress thread

 

[Jordi17]

RS Grille makes a HUGE difference IMO. When I put mine back to standard it stood out to me and looked shocking compared to the RS jobbie.

Tbf though, it does make a difference. I just don't think it makes that much of a difference to warrant spending £50 on it. That money could go towards something that makes a massive difference like coilies etc.

 

[Jordi17]

Depends what route you go down I spose. For the price of coilovers you could get both RS Grille and 60mm springs, which you wouldnt want to go that much lower anyway (the average person wouldnt tell difference between say 60mm and 70mm).

But like I say, everyone mods their own way, which is cool.

 

[GoldClio]

How do you get the bages off the front and back to re-spray?!
