Fresh Clio 1.2, What to do?

[Essential93]

Hey all, I'm new to this forum, and have had a clio for about a year now, its a 1.2 8v. I know it wont go any faster, even though Ive just added a K&N induction kit for the fun of it. Am thinking of lowering it, going for the slow but good look ...Have no clue where to start, any ideas?

Hello and welcome from the ClioSport Admin Team

I was in the same boat with a 1.4 16V, the advice made sense.

Keep it simple so it would appeal to all markets when you come to resell, save the work and the money for when you get a 1*2.

Yeah I dont want to end up spending so much on it, purely because it is a 1.2. But in terms of looks, I wanna improve on it, keep it simple but just looking sweet

Colour coding what is already on the car

Alloys (if insurance allows). 15's for cheap tyres, 16's for....errrr. Don't go 17 or higher else it'll look quite silly.

No stickers.

Here is what my clio looks like now, its been looked after well in my opinion

I've only fitted HID's to it, and LED sidelights, as well as a pretty mad sound system. Now just really wanna improve on the look of the car

As per my last post fella

Some 172 alloys are worth a look. In fact, any Renault alloys in the right size would work. Certainly better than slapping on any Halfords specials anyway.

Whats the best way to get the colour coding done? I have no clue where to get it done really, and yeah, considering a set of 172 alloys or any really good 15's or 16's I suppose

Get rid of the HIDs in the reflector headlights. Get some 1*2 xenons in there. Look better, see further, and don't blind anyone.

New number plates will make it look a bit fresher.

Number plates!!!!!!!

 

[Essential93]

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah definitely the number plates need replacing. what about lowering the car...what would be the best options, lowering springs or full coilovers? I definitely want to make this car stand oiut
