Thanks for the comments :)

Here are a few more shots (excuse the 1st shot being misfocused :()

Adamio - Silvervisions are on the list. I'm also wondering whether to paint diamonds & calipers orange to be different :D Either that, or yellow calipers with anthracite diamonds.

Car has:

Tint (Very useful in Australian summer!)
ITG Maxogen (CF)
CatCam 428
K-Tec CF Front splitter
Devil Group N Catback
Black Diamond Performance slotted/driller front disc
Black Diamond Performance front pads
iPod integration
Sunroof (fitted by 1st owner)
16x7 Oz Racing Ultraleggeras w/ 215/45R16 Kumho KU36 (or XS) up front and Bridgestone RE001's up back.
K-Tec Blackened rear lights
Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar

Bought it with all that about 7 weeks ago - I'm now the 4th owner. Bought it for $14,500AU (~8000 pounds) - you guys have it lucky! 'tis an '03 model, complianced & regoed here in Australia in 2005 and currently has 62600km on it.

As said...awesome photos. Is it a UK import then?

Not sure why you ask? Definitely not - sold back in February 2005 brand new to a lady from the Renault dealer not far from me. Then sold to the 2nd guy who did all the work on this car, then to another who sold it to me, as he lost his license :nono:

looks good. defiantly need silver indicator bulbs tho :) would leave the calipers as they are. Anthracite diamonds would look good as well.
 
Great look m8, apart from the rear lights and the exhaust i believe that original tail lights and the stealth exhaust will look a lot better, anthracite bullets and diamonds

Very nice shots!

What camera gear do you use?

Was using my friends camera for this - 5d2 w/ 24-70 + 3 580EXII w/ ST-E2
I use a 1d2 w/ a whole bunch of stuff.

I've got the original lights - I think they look a lot worse. The photos don't show the rear lights too well. I agree with you on the exhaust, but I'm not about to fork out ~800-900AU on the stealth system when I've already got an exhaust that cost around $1500AU - can't give certain figure, I didn't do it :)

Apologies for double post...

Are the wheels 16x7? Didn't realise 215's would safely fit.

Yes, the wheels are 16x7 - I believe 16x7 fit 195-215.

didnt realise there was so many clios down under.

looks good by the way

We don't have very many. We only got 85 Ph1 172's - all individually numbered. Ph2 was more - but I'd still put the number at no more than a few hundred. 182's got more popular again...

Just a small update... I upgraded my car with a bigger engine and wheels, but for some reason it was slower than before.

Some really smart pics there mate! Nice car too, but imo the standard rear lights look better

Lol what did you do?

At this stage it appears the head gasket decided to let go rather suddenly - in the process taking 3 rods, creating a hole in the back of the block and dumping some alloy filings in the inlet manifold :D Not sure what caused the gasket to go though - there was no warning! Car was running perfectly and temp gauge was normal, then I just suddenly lost power. Should know more details tomorrow once my mechanic pulls it apart completely.

I didn't think they would till I put them on - definitely keeping them on there!
