  Clio Mk3
So I picked up my Clio on February of this year 2016 and straight away fell in love with it. Not powerful as it is only the 1.2 16v but speed was not my approach! Low and Slow is my game

This is it when I first picked it up:

After a month of having the car I decided that i wanted it to handle a lot better than it did, so I started looking towards the lowering springs
options but I spoke to my friends and they persuaded me within seconds to get coilovers so I did.
I read some reviews on which coilovers to get and most people that I spoke to are running AP so I went on to eBay that night and purchased a set for £455!
These are the coilovers here when they first arrived:

A week went by, my excitement rose as on the next weekend I was putting them on! i really wanted to slam my Clio as they look sick on the floor.
This is it when the day I lowered it! (excuse how dirty it is):

I was really happy with it being slammed! But the more I looked at it, it didn't look right. It was still sitting far to high at the back even with the adjusters out so I'm still trying to figure out a way to get it lower!
After its first wash being lowered!
But as soon as I entered the farm it was filthy

I really wanted a rear window sticker for some reason, somehow it appealed to me so much, so i shopped around and decided i wanted an ILOVEBASS one so i did that and bought an oil effect and fitted it!

Me and my friend decided that it would

be a good idea to go along a forrest road to get some decent pictures at the finish next to a lake, by the time we manouvered around every rock, stick and stone on the ground we reached it and it was too dark!! But this is us at the finish!

A few weeks went by, didnt really do anything with the car, just had my head down working to earn some cash to get some more mods for it! One night I decided to take it to a castle to get a good shot infront of it! Worked out really well for crap lighting and not the best camera in the world.

After those few weeks i purchased the Clio RS spoiler, genuine one at that for £250. This is it painted and fitted at 11 at night! First Picture i got of the spoiler was at Scottish Car Show at Ingleston in Edinburgh

I removed the big ILOVEBASS sticker and dewipered at the same time! I added a smaller arched sticker to fit round the dewiper bung and it looks alot better at the back now

  Clio 197
How long before we see 197s being "modded" like this? But seriously the car looks good OP. I'd raise the front a bit and get some spacers. Nothing better than a low car with a wide stance.

What do you mean "modded"? My car isn't a RS so it's different all together, I'm lowering the back more and putting alloys on it first then ill go from there with the spacers
 
Nice to see another mark 3 on the forums, I've got a cup spoiler coming, just waiting for it to turn up! And the photoshop with the Rotas look the best

My Cupra splitter and Winglets have arrived! Along with a 2" Stainless steel exhaust pipe to delete the back box with!

I had a set of AP's on my old Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S, I know what you mean about the cost, I paid like £450 ish for mine too and the whole car only cost me £750 😂 .......... I thought they were really good tho especially on track which is mainly what I wanted the car for at the time

They are fantastic but have to be set up properly and mine are from that! Still handles amazing but needs good tyres to keep it on thr road
 
interesting project. Liked the 3rd pic alloy options. Don't know what they are as I'm not a wheel spotter! Do what you want to it, its your car/cash/time. Bit of stance would improve the rear angle as the clios have wide ass'..
