Clio 16v phase one or two

[*CLIO16V*]

Is there a easy way to tell?



1992?



DOH!!!!

 

[cliosportcraig]

1992 is phase 1

phase 2 where introduced late 1993

 

[Adams_16v]

phas 2 were introducd 94, i had a 94 phase 1 valver, one of the last phase 1s i think, before it went to an M plate. then it was phase 2

 

[cliosportcraig]

Ive known of phase 2s from 1993

 

[*CLIO16V*]

cheers guys, it least i know what ive got now!!!!!!!



LOL

 

[Matt16v]

Can tell by seats, bump strips, front grille, instruments, wing mirrors, wheels and other things that I cant remember off hand!

Unless you got a phase 1 like mine that has bits of both on it!!

 

[mark16v]

i have a L reg 94 thats phase 2

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Mines a 93 L ph1.

 

[cat171]

phase 2 came out in march 1994,

hence why you get L reg cars in both phase 1 & 2.

phase 1 i think fella

the obvious bit is the rub strips on the side if theyre thin with no 16v bage on them its a phase 1, it should have a badge around the side repeaters,

it its a ph2 the strips will be thicker & smooth, there will be a 16v bagde in the strip.

the rear lights, on a ph1 have the black at the bottom straight, on a ph2 it goes up at the edges.

the door mirrors will be squarish on a ph1 & larger more rounded on a ph2

the grille on the ph1 has slats in it, on a ph 2 its smooth.

the wheels on a ph 1 are turbines on a ph2 they are 5 spoke speedline vege alloys (especially for renault)

so all in all there are quite a few cosmetic changes ( i havent listed them all, like interior etc)

 

[Scribbler]

Just look at the front grill between the bonnet and bumper phase 1 has 2 flat strips of plastic ph2 has one cured piece of plastice also the wing mirrors are bigger on the ph2 which is odd.

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Ph1 has the two bar grille, ph2 single bar. Ph1 has narrow bump strips with like a channel running through it, ph2 wider and smooth. Theyre the quickest way of telling. There are others like mirrors, rear lights, alloys, position of side 16v badge (ph1 on side indicator, ph2 on door bump strip).

 

[cat171]

if your still in doubt mate, go to the media section, type in valver,

there are lots of phase 1 and 2 on there, or failing that look a the section on the main page.

thanks to the parrots- outlining what i just said earlier (just kidding) folks

 

[Adams_16v]

if its a 92 its a phase 1 anyways

 

[Matt16v]

Just look at the log book and see when it was first registered, will tell you alot more than the stick on bits that are on it!!

 

[Daz]

1992 could be Early Phase1 or Late Phase1 too, as they changed it slightly again in 1993..

J Regs are early Phase1..

Upload some pics, and we can tell from there.. heh.

 

[Matt16v]

What was the difference there Daz?

I know there were different seats on phase ones - I took the hideous blue and yellow ones out and put the plain blue flecked ones in!

Other than that didnt know anything was different?

 

[Daz]

Js were different to Later Phase1s.. (off top of my head, so could be more!).


Steering Wheel Centre
Blue/Yellow Flecks on Seats on J regs.
Tilt Only Sunroof (Manual)
No One-Touch Window Switches (I think..)
Small RenaultSport Original Logo on doors
Erm, if I think of anything else, Ill post, heh.

 

[h3lter]

[Daz]

I have them, no one touch windows, and a tilt only sunroof. I though the lecky sunroof was on ph2 onwayds?

The seats did match the badge buit they looked awful and were in a mess so I replaced them with later phase one seats.

 

[Adams_16v]

my late ph1 had one touch, tilt and slide sunroof, electric mirrors etc, no logo on the doors, and the late seats!
