Clio 200 update.

[Jay.]

Hi folks,

I've decided to give the 200 a slightly belated Christmas present. Well Two.

First up, I decided on a new set of fresh plates.

The dealer ones were starting to annoy me, they just didn't give the car that clean look. I thought i'd give a slightly smaller front plate a shot. I remembered that Harpham had ordered a smaller front one a while ago, so I just ordered the same size. 520mmx95mm IIRC. A standard one was ordered for the rear.

Before -

During -

You can see the 2 plates next to each other as a size comparison.

After -

A decent improvement in my opinion, for not a lot of cash.

Next up, I have been mincing over getting a set of HID's since i got the car, just over a year ago. It was the main reason in specced the projector headlights. I finally bit the bullet and ordered a set of 5000k 35w HID's. I did umm and ahh wether to go 5000k or 6000k. I went for 5000k in the end, as a guy at work has got a 6000k set in his ep3, and they are a little too blue for me.

Before -

During -

Getting the bumper off was a bit of a ball ache, due to the Two bolts in the wheel arches, but I managed.

The kit was easy to install, and despite the freezing temperatures and being pitch black, the bumper went of a piece of cake.

Afters -

Still waiting to get a decent picture of them, but heres a little taster

Some I took today in the light.

I have thought about taking the sidelights out, but I'm still undecided on that yet.

Thanks for looking!

Superb!

 

[.Andy.]

Excellent, Such a gorgeous car.

 

[Sanders]

Nice work mate

 

[Harpham]

Awesome car. Got a lotta love for AG!!

FYI, I think that my front plate was slightly smaller than that and my rear was slightly smaller than standard iirc.

 

[Davis]

Stunning! Great subtle mods! 5000k are a nice compromise!

 

[Jay.]

Thanks chaps.

Yea, 5000k seemed the most oem looking to me, and I'm happy with them so far

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good mate.

 

[leeds_182]

Nice looking motor. I live AG.

1. Go outside and take the side lights out immediately
2. stand back and admire
3. come back inside and thank me

I look my side lights out a few weeks ago, it makes a the light look much nice. Glad i did it

 

[Gally]

Superb mate. Clean plates are the first thing I always buy for my cars.

Funnily enough I fired a new set of Hids into my bus today, it has projectors.

The ones on it before were looking a little weathered. 6000k seems perfect imo. Enough to make the difference at night (my standard bulb/light combo is dangerous) and still white enough not too look like an utter c**t!

I've got smaller plates from my 182 waiting to go on my 200 when i get my private plate transfered. 520x90mm i think it is.

Where did you get the HID's from?

[N0ddie]

Hmmm! I've been pondering HIDs since I put the projectors in. Might have to buy myself a set next month.

 

[Kieran..]

Loads better!

 

[Will.]

The rareness of the colour makes it mint.

 

[Revels]

Love love love!!

 

[Feirny]

Looks brilliant, love AG.

 

[Matthew]

Epic mate. Love it.

 

[chriscummins7]

Stunning! AG is a winners choice on the 200's

 

[Joe#]

Big improvement

 

[DanSX]

Awesome, i have my sidelights out on my projecters looks much better tbh!

 

[johnbryan45]

Good improvement there! I did my number plates on my megane and it made a massive difference.

 

[JoeyD]

Looks absolutely superb, that!

Who did you use for the plates?

 

[Jay.]

Thanks again chaps.

Fancy plates, dude.

 

[Jamie_182]

very nice pal!

subtle mods FTW

 

[James28]

Lovely subtle mods. I'd take the sidelights out too. I've got mine out in my 182. Much better imo.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Fantastic, as said...less is more these days

 

[Scrooge]

Really really like it!

 

[Gaz_]

Thanks chaps.

Yes, hero, I had 5000k and the light was very oem, I had 6 to start with and imo the output was poor and it looked like some chav corsa

 

[Scott™]

Love AG so so much.

 

[Gaz85]
