It looks awesome, don't go messing it up with that 172 rear bumper. Twin exhausts are where it's at.

Wow this is one of the most in depth projects i've seen on here haha it looks on the verge of being ugly but i think its just right, not too keen on the smoothed out everything on it though and as rjm_93 said why didn't you smooth out the bump strips too?
Anyway amazing thread mate and an amazing car hope all goes well with the future plans!

Fully smoothed is class but this car is epic as it is and if that colour turns out well it'll look quality. Great work, keep the updates coming =)!

Re: The sexy mercedes pearl respray clio
The bodywork is slowly comig to an end and i need some thing else to keep me busy for a few months, just doing a bit of research on an engine conversion, not purely for power but any thing will be faster than what it already is, i just want a front mount intercooler instead of a grill and a flutter valve watch this space.

Re: The sexy mercedes pearl respray clio
so with the bodywork coming to an end. slowly. i got bored and next on the list for the clio is an engine conversion, iv gone for a mk2 172, so far got 182 complete inlets manifold, and genuine belt kits, water pump, clutch kit and clutch cable, hoping to put the engine in next month as atm im still looking to mess around with the engine, a 197 inlet conversion was top on the list but after doing many search's on here it would appear to be pointless. so im planning on putting the 182 in till i can source a decent megane 225 lump to have a mess around with...

so a few weeks till i begin the conversion just looking for some resonable performance mods, for some reason iv got my mind set on getting a lightweight flywheel for some reason :S lol..plan to get the conversion done and then get a years MOT on it then smooth the boot floor and fit a complete 182 exhaust system, been looking for a replacement boot but may just cut and weld my current one..in 2 minds of painting the bay brown or white, with painted or polished inlets and the colour of the engine cover, got till the beginning of next month to decide where this is going
Ford Fiesta Zetec-S
