Clio MK1 1.2 - boring very low budget build.



  Renault Clio MK1
Thanks you for the great comments guys! They motivate me to do more work on that turd lmao. Btw Andy, I was going to cover my seats too. But I wanna get some buckets in the future anyway. These seats are like a sofa when cornering faster haha.

Also got a new bumper lip, thought it was missing something after the bumper respray :D I wanted a Laguna one but had no luck finding one. Ended up getting a clio mk2 which has vents to.
It fits straight on! no cutting, trimming etc.

i meant how did you crack them open? oven method? how long did you put them in for? and what did you seal them with?

I heated them with a heatgun for a bit, then just pulled them open. Well, its not "just" because it was hard to do and I ended up breaking one lens by prying too hard. had to get a new headlight off ebay.

but yeah, I put masking tape inside the headlight and taped up the indicator. Then using a scotch pad i roughened up the silver surface and sprayed it black. Took masking out, and I put the lens on. Because i didnt have clear silicone, when I put headlight together you could really see the silicone and it pissed me right off. So using fine tape I masked off a edge on the lens, again sanded it and sprayed it black. (an edge on the actual white lens.) Heres some photos.

Awesomesauce :D

If you are still thinking of going F4R conversion have a thread through the thread on my valver, I've documented it quite well :) and its not that hard tbh.

I like your car alot - I used to have a white ph3 that had an f7p in as well (im guessing thats what you've gone for from the inlet manifold piccie) my gf also has a ph3 1.2 :)

Hello Adamowsky,

I have to say, its been quite interesting watching how your build has progressed (I've only just signed up today and noticed). Although I also have a phase 3 Mk1 Clio, I've done slightly different mods to uprate the interior a bit, I still need to complete them (i.e. put the wiring in for the rear speakers, which results in removing the dashboard... changing that and the ECU - long story, but it might be beneficial if you want to know what you can do with the clio electrically, e.g. electric windows.)

Anyway, one thing I did notice, you've shown a pic of your door cards with different fabric. How did you remove the fabric from the door cards? I have 6 of them here and I put 2 in so I could have the extra speaker holes and apetures for the electric window switches, etc, but I've had concerns removing the fabric so I can replace mine with the Versailles type of fabric, reflecting the inteiror. I'm guessing you used a heat gun as I did when I tried it and I was more worried about melting the plastic than the glue.

Is there any settings you used?

What are you racing it in?

I haven't done any track days in it yet. My plans were to maybe upgrade brakes, fix poop engine mounts and book track day soon.

This is a good read! Have me more motivation to get my finger out and crack on with mine! :lol: must say that plenum and cam cover looks lush! Is that candy apple red or Naples red? (783) either way it looks nice buddy. Any more updates? :approve:
