First car, mk2 1.2 16v

hello, just got a Clio as my first car. I am wanting to do a few minor things to it, any ideas??

Clean it.

Don't crash it.

Nice wheels,get it on coilovers and keep it clean and subtle

What i thought as well. Not wanting to do any performance mods cause the insurance will be crazy, just going to go for looks at the moment.

Maybe stick a cone air filter on if you want a induction noise. Done the same to my 1.2 mk3 and I love the sound.

Might do, is it easy to do??

Yea just unscrew the old air box and put a cone on it and tighten the hose clamp and it's sorted. I'm sure you'd find a video on YouTube. Simple enough to do yourself mate

One easy subtle suggestion which I don't seem to see much of on here is pressed plates, specifically with these Renault sport surroundings I found.

Buy them from eBay here

Bare in mind mines a mk3,don't think it'll make a difference though.

I now have another little air feed filter on the pipe next to the air filter.

Cheers mate, how much difference does it actually make to the sound? Noticed any power loss?

 

[bennettxo]

It gives like a deep roar,always get compliments saying my car sounds nice. Nope couldn't feel any loss.

Anyone know how to remove the emblem on the boot?
