Cool Mods For Skint People....

[tom w]

I have just taken the pipe going to the acostic valve and fitted a pannel filter, gives it a nice throaty roar now. costs noting, takes 10 secs and makes so much differnce, just by being able to hear the engine, and you still get all the factory airbox still in place.

 

[kevin.s]

also comes with seat mounted vibrating one too.
my missis wants one but she said that the clios plastic texture would cause friction so it would have to be glass lol

im waisted on you lot. i really am lol

 

[The Big Yin]

Only things i have bought for ma clio have been

Brand new set of Dynamique alloys - £55 (sold old ones price includes fitting of tyres)
clear side reps with bulbs -£8
Clio rubber mats and boot liner £15

Local free ads are great

 

[mini_nick]

Ferodo DS2500 brake pads cheap modification (£80) always helps being able to stop!

 

[renclio]

This is the best on for me and only cost £25. Fitting phase 1 172 dials really improves the inside look of my car.

 

[dajones]

with the interior led set would the 1*2 kit do for my extreme?

 

[rich-6]

Recent mods for me have been, Painted brakes, No ones mentioned yet LOWERING and a 307 splitter

Tin of hammerite is £6 in "Frauds"
Sportlines were £90 in classifieds
307 Splitter £35.25

£130 well spent

 

[Shady-F]

quality thread, ph2 headlights for ph1s and if you've only got standard wheels try some new wheel trims.

 

[Mells]

upgrade the clio for a SL55 AMG tbh.

 

[Sean.]

a good service done by yourself, a damn good clean, hoover inside, full tank of fuel and a good blast knowing that your car is 100% mint!

I thought the answer to your post was reasonable and good advice to be fair, especially when this is a thread about cost effective changes.

If you want to buy your options are many, any car dealer for any make car as long as the size is the same (excluding those Vauxhall alloy look-a-like things that need a unique design of steel wheel), any scrap yard, or motor factors like Halfords etc.

Haha, no bother sunshine.

I told you to paint them because if you buy them from somewhere (like Renault, shock) they will be the same colour.

There is a colour coding guide in the guides section, but you need to join to view it. Apply the same techniques to the strips to change the colour. Oh, and they just pull off.
