Clio 1.2 16v...

[BenMc]

Alright, ive decided im guna start doing something about my clio, its a 1.2 16v 2001 mk 2 ph2 clio, i bought my car standard and it looked like this (this isnt my actual clio), Also sorry about the size of some of the pictures when they go up there a bit big.

Side trims are back wing mirror and tail gate spoiler are sent off... need to be polished up still.

updates will be made...

Good luck with it mate, if your going to lower 60 id suggest coilovers or definatley uprated shocks.

Not to keen on the current alloys set of lenso's sounds nice though.

No problem mate as said good luck with it all smart car same as mine just mines black and dynamique.

 

[alex-avfc]

Dont be silly...put those dynamique alloys back on, they looked far better.

Its a tidy car, doesnt need too much doing to it

 

[BenMc]

yea theres a man who works in a body shop (his wife works at my work) but he does a bit of cash in hand stuff i got my side trims, front insert, rear insert, tailgate spoiler, door handles, a whole new bonnet, a new front bumper and the back of my left wing mirror done for 300 pound n then he polishes it all up aswell at end good value for money i thought like and the colour match is spot on! it should be done after the weekend aswell so new pics shall be up!

just fitted them silver indicators and clear with silver lamps on the side aswell looks better than the orange

 

[BenMc]

alright finally the colour coding has been done! i recon its starting to looks sweet.. also the indicator side lamps have been made clear and also the front lamps have been changed to the silvered over ones aswell heres some pics... oh n im still in a debate to keep the grill or not hmmm

oh and the back drums are goin black! ha

 

[jesus]

Coming along nicely, get a RS grille!

 

[BenMc]

yea thats my debate the grill at mo or rs

 

[jesus]

That's my opinion ^ :rasp:

It really does make it look a lot sportier. I was really impressed when I changed mine over.

 

[Chris_786]

deffo get shot of that grille, Rs one is much nicer IMO

 

[BenMc]

yea rs it does more look like i just looked at other lads 1.2 with the rs on looks sweet like!

 

[jdh91]

rs grill is a must

 

[BenMc]

[BenMc]

[DMH-01]

Im getting the prices through this weekend hopefully. It's going to be about £320, if you want the car lowered coilovers are a must tbh.

[BenMc]

Rite been de wipered and what a pure mess on! the wiper was siezed solid to the bolt connected to the motor ... it just wouldnt come so it had to be cut, but no one had a hack saw handy apart from the man over the road... wouldnt really call it a saw either ...

THE BEAST OF A SAW!

Cake from cafe coz i was pissed of with the saw

the back plate thing was a bit scratched from the saw etc so i decided to paint it black

sand down and primer:

didnt need ot go serious sanding lmaoo

halfords own

finished
