Got an under seat sub, which handily doesn't fit under the seats, so that's screwed down in the boot. At 900w it is incredible the punch this has for such a small thing!!

fairm010's 1.2 Project
The car has also had a bit of work done on it.
1: It's first cambelt and water pump change.
2: Dogbone mount changed. Would like power flex bushes but couldn't find anything for a non sport.
3: New cat and 02 sensors.

Bumper looks good mate, have you wired up the parking sensors? If so how do you find them?
I'll be wiring them in tomorrow mate. Personally I don't need them but the bumper was a steal at the price I paid and it had sensors in it so may as well use them!
I'll give you a shout when I've used them

Haha, a table leg, cant go wrong!
It doesnt, which is annoying as I would prefer the boot space for tents etc for CSS. You could probably remove the bar that stops it fitting (The bar that does the seat reclining adjustment).

Hmm that puts a spanner in the works. If it doesnt fit with the normal seats then i guess i will have no chance when fitting bucket seats in the near future.
Shame as i miss my sub so bad 😂 Wonder if it can go anywhere else? Wired in the sensors, they're great. As said, I don't really need them but a nice unusual extra to have in a Clio!

Get it mounted to the back of the back seats. If there is nothing solid to screw it to you could always unzip the cover (think i can see a zip in the pics) and put a bit of plywood
Have a look at the Alpine SWE1200 They fit perfectly under any seat even the low bucket mounts. bit more info hereHmm that puts a spanner in the works. If it doesnt fit with the normal seats then i guess i will have no chance when fitting bucket seats in the near future.
Will look at doing this tomorrow. Would love to get it off the boot floor.
So I took delivery today of my Snappy refurbed wheel and all I can say is that his work is incredible. It's so neat!
I've just been for a drive with the wheel and the car feels like a different beast through the steering wheel.
Very happy with this!

Nice car Farim. Must be the talk of the mosque!

You want @snappy mate, he does them.

New wheel looks great buddy.
Cheers Dan, just realised how it now matches my gear gaitor.
New bonnet put on, courtesy of @Tom Johnson.
The old one was a right pig to get off and we had to hacksaw the spinning bolt out.

Your washer blanks look great Simon, thank you. Superglue is amazing
And for anyone looking at this in the future, the spacers that are needed are 25mm to bring the wheels out correctly.

Looks great mate! definitely added at least 5bhp I shall no longer look out for you! Steering wheel looks soooo nice, I really want it! What's next on your plans?

It's not about adding HP, I'm doing this as an excercise for myself to be honest. I've learnt so much about cars in my time modding this. Next is install skirts, and then a sportex back box. Has a very nice sound to it. No cherry bomb chav rubbish.

No worries, I know mate. Was just being how most other people are on here
I know me too, I had no interest in cars before I got my Clio. But I've learnt so so much now. I've heard installing skirts isn't as easy as you'd hope, but hope you get them on alright nice one, get a video uploaded when you've got that up and running. Looks good, keep it up!I took them off the donor car, so know how they go on, it's easy as s**t.
So today the skirts went on! I have a full 172 Body kit!
Not much of an update but I was bitten by the bloody leaking sunroof. My detailing centre noticed my passengers carpet was SOAKED under the mat.
Sunroof frame unbolted, black window sealant put underneath, tightened back up, no more leak.
However, I've been running a dehumidifier in the car all day while I'm at work. It took 2 LITRES of water out of the car yesterday alone. Will see what happens at the end of today.
Tomorrow, Brembo discs and pads for the front!

It's hillarious. Your 1.2 looks better than my 182.
With all the money you have spent on this though, you could have had a 1*2 though ;-)

Thanks Ryan, appreciate that!
I could have bought two to be honest, but having only passed my driving test at 23, the insurance on a 1*2 was disgusting!

Well, if/when you get a 1*2, you have a lot of lovely parts to bring accross (or sell to fund!).
