colour coding

[scottpomfret]

Hi all, another newbie to the forum,

im a beginner in the whole car modding scene and everything. Got a 2003 clio 1.2 dynamique a year ago, and now im starting off with minor mods, including a sound system and tinted rear lights (the old set of tights trick).

The thing i really want to do, is to colour code my mouldings on the bumpers and doors... but im not sure how to do this? If i took it to a garage what would i be expecting to pay? just dont want to be ripped off. I was going to get a set from a scrapyard and have a go myself but i honestly dont have a clue how to do it

thanks for your help.

Get yourself sport bumpers mate, and don't bother with tinted lights, just go for newer ones if you don't already have them.

well ive been quoted £250 for a 172 cup spoiler, front and rear bumpers... but i remember reading somewhere the front one doesnt fit properly.

it would be a lot simpler just changing the bumpers in theory. Does anybody know if thats an average price for the spoiler and bumpers?

Where u from mate? I know a place in the mids that sells reasonably priced parts, or just try eBay mate, few breaking on there

I'm from Blackburn, Lancashire. I think I'll just go for the sport bumpers. Are they just a straight swap? Or is there any modification needed? Thanks.

the rear is a straight swap, the front needs sport wings and side skirts, i got my spoiler and side bump strips done for £50 quid, what colour is your car?

My car is silver. It's sounding more and more complicated to do now lol. I think I might start off by doing the rear bumper and getting the side strips sorted out. Get the front sorted when I've got some more wonga together. Thanks for your help guys

And adding the sport spoiler. It looks a lot nicer than the standard one on my car.

IF your not after making into a complete rep, colour coding is quite simple, just takes time and patience.
THere are a few guides in the guides section that explain how really detailed. BUt you have to be a paid member to see them

To be honest, I don't really want it to look like a cheap copy of a 182 or anything. I just want the bumpers colour coding mainly. I just think it will make the car look a lot nicer. I've asked a neighbour who can paint and he's gunna colour code it for me. Thanks for all the help
