Clio 1.2 extreme ORRAAANGEE

[rich-k-]

Hey guys my names rich, im 23 from north wales
I work as a painter in a local body shop and my girlfriend bought a clio 1.2 extreme for £750 with 100K it had a dent in the door and the sill!
I have always had a soft spot for these clios (being a jap man) so i took it straight in to the body shop! i did a full colour code on it, painted a full side, restored the headlights and the spoiler had been painted badly previously so that had to go, did this in my spare time and thats something i dont have alot of haha! so chuffed with the car! iv conviced her to allow me to lower it and buy sport alloys for it next lol as always you cant start a newbie thread without pics so here goes! Sadly my camera dont do it justice haha and for anyone interested heres a picture of my prelude

How the clio arrived!

Damage (looked worse in real life haha)

Doing the repairs!

I will get some better pics today when i go and pick it up from work, shes not seen it yet haha i have took tons of pics but there the basics feedback more then welcome! cheers

so not much difference then lol i wanted to put 172 sideskirts on it but what i didnt realise was you need the wings and bumpers too, too make them fit

wow, this looks really promising!

colour coding and body work looks spot on, well done

and the side skirts i was thinking the other day, would modifying a set work, they would all clip in, just fiberglass and body filler to fill the cut out at the end :S

a sport rear bumper would look ace!
