Clio 1.4 16v 5dr LOADS OF PICS! (56k no chance)

[Irfan]

Clio had loads of swirls and scratches in the paint so I used a coat of Autoglym paint renovator to remove them, two coats of Ultra Deep Shine to polish it off and a coat of Extra Gloss protection to seal it all in.

Here's some pics:

I cleaned the car with baby shampoo and used Meguiars Quick Clay:

Some pics after using the Autoglym stuff:

Took some pics with my mate and his Bora V5 in a car park:

[KyleB]

looks well nice that, what brakes you got on the front?

 

[Irfan]

Wow didn't expect this many replies!

The grill is just a sheet of mesh from Motorworld. I removed the old plastic grill and put this in its place. The grill attaches to some clips so it's fairly secure.

The exhaust is a cat-back Scorpion effort. I say effort as it's not made for my model, it's for a slightly different 1.4 16v and I've had so many problems mounting it.

The Yoko's are great! People say they're not very good in the wet but I find they break away progressively and compared to the Goodyear Eagle F1's and Pirelli P7000's Ive had they're well worth it for the money as they're half the price lol.

Bora sound's quiet but in reality it makes a better noise. Mine can be too loud and attracts too much attention. The Bora sounds sweet, it's only a standard exhaust but the V5 makes a nice noise.

I might keep the drums red on the back, I don't like them being plain for some reason.

The front brakes are K-tec's big brake kit. It replaces the 240mm discs with 285mm and a new caliper mount moves the caliper to the correct position. I haven't got ABS and the brakes are useless in the wet. They can bite unexpectedly.

Thanks for your comments guys
