As the thread title suggests, just curious if anyone has converted or attempted to convert a standard Clio 182 into a Clio V6. Im thinking purely on the appearance side, body kits that thought of thing, so to make a standard Clio 182 look like a V6. I could be wrong but have heard a lot of the parts off a V6 will fit on a Clio 182 i.e brake callipers, suspension that thought of stuff. If anyone has more information to share it would be much appreciated. Thanks

just no...just buy a v6!
What the hell was that originally? Looks nice but don't look right!
No mate, OEM Body parts won't fit, it's a completely different floor plan and chassis if I remember correctly!
Just a waste of money as i learn't with my 1.2
If you must have a body kit you would be best of going for a 1600 Super look
It's actually the exact same chassis as a 1.2, just with all the rear quarter panels hacked off. You can even see where they cut away the body panels if you look under the V6 body kit.
In regards to turning a 182 into a V6, completely possible if you have all the V6 running gear, engine, pipework, drive train, interior, wheels etc...
Easiest way to do it all, would be to buy a V6, and swap all the bits over to your 182.

to then have the same car....
Could have sworn the wheel base was different.... obviously not
A phase 1 though dave? otherwise what would be the point
Oh right thanks and as far as buying a Clio V6 and swapping all the parts to a 182 doesn't that defeat the point? I suppose you could but a crashed V6 and do it. Still a lot of work
I'm so glad you saw what I did there

They do have a longer wheel base, but still use the same chassis. Completely different running gear however.

Nothing a set of wheel spacers won't fix
It would defeat the point wouldn't it?

If you can invent a set of spacers that moves the rear wheels backwards, you're onto a winner.
Ahahaha FLOL!!!! ohh dear Carl
But where else are you going to get the parts from :S I would imagine Renault would provide the parts but enough for you to take out a mortgage?
Its that or buy a vee
There wont be any spare parts... vee's don't ever get broken for spares, if they are a cat write off's it's because they have melted.

I was just curious to as if could be done! I have no intention of doing it! I see what you mean about the wheel spacers, my bad
we are trying to ask why would anyone......to get the same car? i'm baffled
To be honest I have no idea where that come from! I must have misread a post I was under the impression somebody said something about swapping parts over from a V6
I did read it correctly, This is why I questioned it. His las statement was to swap all the bits over so I said doesn't that defeat the point ! See I wasn't imagining things

Don't be so hard on yourself, we all have are moments
i was being sarcastic

Just to add i dont think my sarcasm was acknowledged
Can't tell the difference
Couple wheel spacers and lowering springs would look bang tidy.
Genuinely didn't think that was possible, but you may have found a way out of this :lolup:
So was I! I have just come to the conclusion everyone else is being sarcastic
Can't tell the difference
thats a nice v6! that yours mate? bet it goes some dont it?!

Yh you just ruined it

It can, Renault actually sell it as a production car, its called the Renaultsport clio v6

I was hoping there was a way of could save about £10,000 and bodge on together but after the pictures I seen its probably good advice to just buy one
thanks VPowerYh was just curious if anyone had done it or should I say attempted it!

Can't tell the difference
Looks like something that's hitched its skirt up and gone for a run.
