Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Ah cheers may as well use self tappers then, my dad's mate's got a Clio Sport and used self tappers on his Skoda splitter as well, said it holds fine.
Didn't manage to get it done yesterday but hopefully soon, maybe Friday.
Also found a few more photo's floating around on Facebook of my car at college lol, glad it gave everyone a laugh

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Thanks mate got the 3/4 plate from fancyplates.com. Just so you know, they aren't exactly road legal but make the front end look much tidier
Will be fitting the splitter on friday, I'll get some photos up

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
UPDATE: Splitter is now fitted (Pic Heavy...)
Decided I needed to change my existing splitter a while ago because it was scraped and bent from the previous owner :/
I also wasn't keen on the holes in the front and wanted a smoother look.
So I brought a Skoda splitter and fitted it on friday Here come the pics...
Old splitter with the holes:
Was easy enough to get off:
Hard bit was just pulling these metal staples out of the bumper:
Quite liked it without a splitter at all but it looked a little high :/
Underneath:
End result:
Much better

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Hi,
your car looks nice with all the wrapping done. I have something similar only with white wrappingfoil. I also wrapped my gear knob, but it looks a bith weird without the gearscheme decal on it.. I saw in your first post that you have a decal on it. Can I ask you where you found it?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards for a Dutch Clio owner..

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Hi mate, I got the gearstick and airbag decal from spray shack - http://www.spray-shack.co.uk/
Was only about £3 for both inc p&p, probs be a bit more for you seeing as your from Netherlands but yeah
Bet they do loads of different colours as well, you'll have to ask them.
There on here and Facebook as well if you can't contact them from their website.
Hope that helped

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Yeah I thought that too not bad for £12
Haha cheers went a bit carbon mad when I first got the car, it was literally anything that I managed to pull off
Calmed down a bit now though but yeah think the speakers would look good with blue and carbon
Sports grill does make a massive difference compared to the standard one
Yeah I thought that too
not bad for £12 Done a good job with wrapping
Might have to steal idea of the speaker bit
iv sprayed mine same blue as car think will look nice with carbon on it
yeah like the splitter
and makes me want sport grills for mine even more
Haha cheers

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
This actually looks pretty good, The carbon wrapping seems a little over the top on everything but the quality of it is some of the best wrapping i've seen, nice work. I think with the splitter it looks soo much better.
pretty sweet mate
Edit: You said you got the splitter from skoda parts, as in this website? http://www.skodaparts.com/product/front-bumper-splitter-spoiler-fabia-2007-2011-33930
Thinking about getting it too thanks

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Ah cool okay, I hope so, those decal's makes a big difference lol What colour will you go for? Just black or have you got a colour scheme going on? I'll definately check out your clio project though

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Oops didn't see this post I guess it's not to everyone's taste but thanks for saying it's good quality
And yeah that's the exact same one I ordered mate got it within a few days of ordering
I've still not decided, going to ask for a photoshop soon to see what a 40mm and 60mm drop would look like. I really don't know what would be best, springs would obviously be a lot cheaper though

The wrapping's fairly easy, some smaller pieces are a bit fidly but it's not too bad once you've had a bit of practice you thinking of wrapping anything?

Want to lower my car but don't want to go down the coilover route. Do you think these would be any good?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2566fd5185
It says it lowers the front by 60mm and the rear by 40mm. Would it be better if I spent a little extra money and get springs which lower the same ammount on the front and back or is there no point?
Also, I'm going to get some wheel spacers, probably about 15mm/20mm to get a wider stance
Can anyone recomend some and would I need longer bolts?

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Ah right okay, thanks mate I'll keep looking round then
Yeah lol and thanks! Yeah it's pretty straight forward. The spoiler took the longest to do but it wasnt fidly like the hadbrake cover. I gave up on that All you have to do is heat up the CF wrap and stretch it over stuff

Just done a car insurance quote and lets just say, I won't be getting it lowered anytime soon. It's going to cost me an extra £900 with Admiral! Jesus, what a rip off
Anyway, things that will be more reasonable:
K&N Induction kit: will be ordering that soon
Exhaust: not really looked into that yet
Colour coding: going to see if I can get some already painted
8 spoke sport alloys: seem to be quite rare to buy :/
Wheel spacer: possibly if I need them after new alloys have been fitted

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Just renewed my insurance and decided to go with elephant. This means I can now afford an induction kit which I ordered earlier and should be delivered on Wednesday as well as lowered suspension! I'm unsure whether to go for a 40mm drop or 60mm. Been looking around on the forum and most people are saying you hardly notice 40mm so should go for 60mm. The only thing I'm worried about is kerbs and speedbumps. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
If you are looking to lower your car, I would go for some coilovers mate, try and find some second hand. There will probably be some for sale on here. I had raceland ones and I found them to be good, because you can adjust them to the exact height you want, and believe me if they don't look as low as you were expecting you'll be gutted and will want coilovers.

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Cheers for the advice guys I'll keep watching the for sale section and see if anything decent pops up
Anyway, a little update
My K&N induction kit arrived wednesday in the biggest box ever!
Me and my Dad fitted it in about 45mins, the old airbox was horrible to get off!
so much more room under the bonnet now it's gone though
Very happy with the noise it makes, not sure if it's actually made it any faster but never mind
That's it for now, going to a few local scrapyards soon in the search for some clear side repeaters and some painted side strips because I'm going to colour code it soon

Re: MY CLIO 1.6 PROJECT
Right, I know I’ve left it a while since my last update so this is gonna be a big’n!
Firstly I managed to find a pair of clear side repeaters from a scrap yard in Shirebrook. They were from a Twingo but are the same type. Quite happy with these as he didn’t charge me anything so it saved me about a tenner
Still haven’t got around to colour coding it yet but I’ve got all the things now. Bought the side strips from hybrid beeson off here and some paint and clear lacquer, all I need now is time
I have also brought some 9.5mm spacers but I’m just waiting on the longer wheel bolts to be delivered from demon tweeks. (Ordered and payed for 16 but then I get an email saying they’ve only got 8 in stock)
Decided to de-wiper the back window the other day as well, wasn’t too tricky but I did manage to snap one of the mounts on the motor, lol
Took the actual wiper off:
Removed plastic boot trim and disconnected the motor:
Snapped a mounting point but got the other one off intact:
Took the motor out and removed the plate, then blocked the hole as it started to rain:
Flatted the plastic down and primed it, then sprayed it gloss black:
How it looks now:
Finally bobbyandrews sold me a rear strut brace:
I know many of you think they’re pointless but this is purely for looks going to have it sprayed in Renault yellow to match the callipers.
Hopefully I can get my hands on a front strut brace soon and I’ll spray that yellow too.
Don’t think there’ll be any more updates for a while because I’m busy at college and work but hopefully I can get it colour coded soon.
Also looking to buy some second hand coilovers so if anyone knows of some going cheap, let me know cheers guys!
