-Danman-'s Mk2 1.6

[-Danman-]

They might have then unless its different because of engine sizes? And I think I might order one now then

Hmm yeah possibly. Yes get one! I didn't know at the time but apparently you can get ClioSport discount from fancy plates

Cheers man! Was 1 sheet enough ?

1 a4 sheet should do 3 fogs so it should be plenty

Yup, I had 2 attempts on each fog light and I've still got loads spare, not even used half of it lol

Yeah, we do. If you type that you're part of the club, username and member number in the comments box before you order, they'll refund you a couple of quid.

Glad I saw this, I'm about to order a 3/4 plate from them

And the yellow fogs are becoming quite popular with some of my friends with BMWs. Always woundered what it would look like on a 1.6. -Good job dude!

I organised an East Midlands meet on Thursday at the Dakota Hotel and got a really good turnout, there was about 12 people in total. It was nice to meet new people and speak to old faces Here's a photo that Harpham took of my Clio:

At the meet, I met a guy called Simon and he just happened to have a set of alloys for sale in the boot of his car. Sooo, a few days later I met him halfway and took them off his hands

They are Renault Storms. I'm going to get some centre caps and maybe spray them black when I have time. Done a quick Photoshop and I'm torn between them.

 

[Dan...]

^black!!

 

[iOllieSM]

White looks proper racey. I like white wheels on the flip side, the black looks good with the yellow. After seeing this I'm extremely tempted to spray my calipers yellow as my car is pretty similar to yours in respects of colour and stuff I'm after some spacers for the rear aswell. How much did you space yours by and did you buy extended wheel nuts?
Cheers

 

[alexr19]

I'm not a fan of white on silver (said that on the other thread). Love your car and loved it on black. Maybe try anthracite?

Ollie there's some on eBay that come with the bolts. If that helps

 

[-Danman-]

I think I will end up doing them black tbh

Yeah my Dad said that lol. Going for the motorsport look they'll stay white until I have time to paint them. Might put my old wheels back on for winter actually. Quite a few people don't like the yellow calipers but I think they look okay

I got 16mm spacers for the rear and ended up getting 39mm extended bolts. Should get some locking ones really with the new wheels :/

I'll do another Photoshop with anthracite but I'm not sure if it'll look right. And yeah, I got mine off eBay too

 

[alexr19]

Ahhhhh sweet. I think depending on money (forza Friday woooooooooo) I may just get them.

also just read you're after centre caps. Try speedline carbon. I believe he did some, different sizes so you may be in luck. If he's stopped. My bad lol

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT

Everyone oes the hole carbon wrap thing - but I honestly like what you done! And 10/10 lad for the effort!

 

[Billy.]

My 172 alloys are anthracite and my mk2 is also your silver. Looks mean in anthracite check it out. Black and yellow colour scheme looks s**t hot

 

[daft_racer]

Nice Clio mate ! Love the mods you've done.

 

[DannyBhoy]

This is what I want my car to look like. Looks mint mate :clap:

Right, a few updates for you all.

Managed to source a set of genuine Renault centre caps from eBay. Was pretty excited when they came so first thing I did was see if they fitted. Put one on, perfect fit. Then I realised you have to take the wheel off to remove the centre cap. Fail.

So I've been driving round with one centre cap on for about 2 weeks lol.

Other good news: I picked up a cup spoiler a few hours ago!

Few scratches here and there but with a bit of elbow grease it should come up okay. I'm going to carbon wrap it like Vicky did with hers. Will be a lot easier than spraying it tbh.

I'll get some pictures up asap. Cheers!

 

[lewisflintham]

Lookin' good Dan. Black wheels look better imo. Hope you get the spoiler sorted. Hopefully I'll be along to the next local meet.

Glad to finally see an update! Been too long lol. What centre caps are they? I'm after some oz f1s and I think they're the same size so I wanna be prepared lol

Cheers mate, yeah I'm gonna spray the wheels black when the weather's decent again. The white really has grown on me though! Should be sorting the spoiler out tonight, found the brake light doesn't work though so gotta find one of those now :/ look forward to seeing you at the next meet, no idea when it'll be lol

Glad to finally see an update! Been too long lol. What centre caps are they? I'm after some oz f1s and I think they're the same size so I wanna be prepared lol

So am I lol and yeah it has! The centre caps I got are Laguna ones. Messaged about 20 people breaking lagunas on eBay until I found them.

They are 57mm across. Are they the same size as f1s? Might be 55mm actually, or is that for turinis? xD

I think I read they are 55 but I'm sure I saw some 57 for like £10 so I may take a punt for when I eventually get the f1s. I want some bright wheels now so I'm fairly open to suggestions but f1s really tick the boxes lol

just found some 57 for £60! Hope you got a bargain if that's the going rate lol

 

[-Danman-]

Yeah brand new they're £17 each from Renault! I got a second hand set for £25. Need repainting and the clips on the diamonds aren't too good but never mind

Also, what colour wheels are you thinking of?

Ford Monza blue. It's available in halfords. It's quite like rb really. Love the colour and I've always loved bright wheels. Just want 15 inch ones in that colour

 

[cremat]

Nice carbon job

Any news on this matey?

Finally finished wrapping the cup spoiler earlier. Typical that it's just started raining as soon as I want to go outside and fit it!

Will get some photos up soonish

 

[iOllieSM]

How much was the cup spoiler? I was looking for a rough one for cheap to carbon wrap aswell but can't ever find any -.- look forward to seeing it

 

[alexr19]

I was meant to have some off a member on here but I can only assume he's been very busy at work so hopefully after this Xmas period the deal will be done other wise no not yet. I'm looki foreword to seeing your cup spoiler too. I read they were a b**ch to wrap so if you do it as well as you did the other one you'll be laughing

It was £110 from another member off here. Paint was flaking underneath and brake light didn't work but I've sorted everything out now. It was a Christmas present from the parents

Ah right okay then, hopefully you won't have to wait too long mate.

Yeah the cup spoiler was more difficult to wrap than the dynamique one. I think it looks pretty good though. Only pictures I've got atm is where its half done:

 

[klem]

Top job with the carbon wrapping! It looks really neat!!
How are you at doing front/rear diamonds?

The wheels look nice too!

I'm surprised I haven't see you around since Dakota, you only live around the corner...

Cheers kind of warming to white wheels now lol. What do you mean about front and back diamonds though?

I always have a nosey down your street when I drive past but never seen you. Seems strange as we live about 30 seconds away!

 

[klem]

The Renault diamond on the front grill and rear boot release.. Usually plasticy fake chromosexual.

Yeh, I live right the top of Sienna though.... The Clio is in the unit at work currently too :-/.

What other plans do you have for the car?

 

[-Danman-]

Ooh I see what you mean, didn't read it properly ay first. If you get your hands on some wrap I don't mind doing it.

No wonder I never see it then, not sure about any other plans for the car atm. Gonna get rid of the stickers at the top of the back window soon and spray the centre caps. Not sure what else I could do after that.

 

[klem]

Thats very kind of you.

Which wrap did you use? did you remove the front/rear Diamonds to wrap them?

 

[-Danman-]

I bought it off ebay a while back and yeah you would need to remove the diamonds prior to wrapping them

 

[-Danman-]

Update: Fitted the cup spoiler earlier on. Was quite tricky and got my Dad to help lol. We had to tape the washer pipe and brake light connector down and fiddle around with it for ages as it wouldn't sit properly.

Anyway, after a good half an hour we did it, here's some photos:

Before:

After:

Sorry for the very dirty car - I did wash it after but have no photos as it was getting dark.

Oh yeah, I also removed the white sticker near the brake light and fitted a shorter aerial because my old one wouldn't fit when the boot was open.

I'll try and get some nicer pictures after work tomorrow if it's still light.

Cheers, Dan

 

[klem]

Looks great! You have skills with that carbon wrap!

Good call on removing the sticker under the brake light too

 

[alexr19]

You're way too good with wrap. Love it. My spoiler doesn't sit right either. Only if you get close you'd notice

 

[MatthewR]

Looks good, probably going to be my next purchase when ive sorted a few things out.

 

[-Danman-]

Cheers buddy! Yeah I should've took it off ages ago really makes the back end look a little cleaner.

Haha thanks Managed to get it sitting right in the end. At first there was either a massive gap at the bottom near the window, or a massive gap inbetween the spoiler and the roof.

Decided to pull those pink plastic locaters out from underneath the spoiler and it fits properly now.

Looks good, probably going to be my next purchase when ive sorted a few things out.

Thanks mate, does make a difference, wish I'd done it sooner tbh. When you get one. make sure it's got a decent brake light lol Spent far too long messing around with broken ones, trying to salvage them.

 

[-Danman-]

Just uploading a couple of new photos, taking forever on photobucket though! :/

 

[Barnett]

an hour to upload pictures? I call bullshit
