Heeey, I have a clio! ;)

[DanEdser]

So this is my first car and ive only made some few minor modifications...
Ive painted the back badges Orange, ive put in Edge ED305 component speakers, Edge ED209 parcel shelf speakers, an Edge ED7800 amp and an Edge ED512 subwoofer, all sounds very nice.

I also have an orange bonnet bra... but i dont have it on that often... i also dont know how the front diamond comes off to paint it? the rear ones where all on pins -.-

I'm planning on getting Dotz Shuriken 16"/17" alloys probably gonna look for a phase 2 spoiler as the phase 1 ive got here makes the back of the car look like it has a receding hairline aha

might also lower it by 40mm not sure really... what would you guys reccomend as i am kinda new here?!

but yeah heres some pics!

Welcome to the forum, DanEdser!

 

[DanEdser]

what shall i do to it then? modification-wise? im thinking about getting a 172 clio cup spoiler onto it

 

[joshie999]

I would get some phase 2 rear lights, I dont like the all red of the phase 1's personally

 

[McGherkin]

You like your Edge

Get some Dual Optic headlights in, Ph.2 rear lights and clear side repeaters.

Don't use the bonnet bra, pretty sure the front badge is on pins too (wrap a screwdriver in cloth and get prying). Don't get the Dotz Shruikens either, they look ultrachav.

I personally don't believe in lowzz but 40mm is an acceptable drop.

Above all, don't spend too much on it! Save for a better car a few years later. Don't bother with performance mods either.

 

[joshie999]

^^ McGherkin I was just looking at your lighting mods in another thread

Thats something else you can do, change your bulbs to LED, they look so much better

 

[McGherkin]

Indeed. However don't put LEDs in the reverse lights on Ph.1 (all red) blocks, it makes them turn on pink! Trying to get hold of Ph.2 blocks atm.

LEDs are the way forward. Light's so much cleaner and crisper, on instantly, less power usage, s'all good. Makes a car look more modern when done nicely IMO.

 

[joshie999]

Yeah Definitely does make it look more modern, I've changed nearly all mine to LED

 

[DanEdser]

what alloys would you guys recommend then? as this is my first car and everything so i dont really know haha.

 

[McGherkin]

Team Dynamics 1.2, OZ anything, Ph.2 RS wheels, all kinds. See THIS thread for ideas and inspiration.

 

[Knuckles]

Hi and welcome

The front badge just pulls off, just wiggle it side to side gently and it'll pop off

Ph2 rear lights

Cup spoiler=win

172/182/turini/oz f1 alloys would look good on this

Dual optic head lights

Colour code

Maybe ph2 172 rear bunper

Iirc you may not notice a 40mm drop mate

 

[DanEdser]

this is my car with the shurikens... i dont think it looks to bad tbh.. obviously this is a photoshop jobby so dont mind the sketchy-ness

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Those alloys look utterly horrific.

Speak to your insurance about getting alloys before you buy anything !

Just leave it alone.. concentrate on not becoming a statistic !!

 

[DanEdser]

haha, fair enough mate

ive got quotes for alloys and interior modification and 40mm drop and they will cover it xD

yeah come to think of it those wheels are bad...

 

[Knuckles]

Any alloys from any sport will make it look a million times better than those chav wheels would

 

[DanEdser]

thanks for the feedback i will do some non-chav wheel hunting

 

[Knuckles]

Lol, sign up as a paid member on here... There are always wheels,lights and bumpers coming up for sale

 

[Gildstar]

Slam the slut !

 

[LiamR172]

paint your badges back to silver or black, lower it a bit, OZ F1's and a ph2 rear end (lights, bumper and spoiler)

sorted!

 

[DanEdser]

lol i wont paint it back... when it comes to it ill just buy new badges! what size OZ F1's? idk about the ph2 bumper... bit of a mish aha

 

[McGherkin]

Ph.2 Bumpers on Ph.1's just look wrong IMO.

Ph.1 sport/colour coded standard for the win.

 

[DanEdser]

and where can i pick up a set of these F1's?

 

[DanEdser]

also im now a payed member! ;D

 

[McGherkin]

Congrats

I don't know if there's any for sale in the CS Marketplace, worth a look though.

 

[DanEdser]

would i have to get 15"... i dont really know what it does lol do the wheels have to be 6.5 width? or else they wouldnt fit? i dont know xD

 

[DanEdser]

or what size turini's do i get? i like them xD although they are pretty pricey...

 

[DanEdser]

does this look better?

 

[DanEdser]

please help me out? D:

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

them wheels suit it very well, always go oem, as i always mention "subtlety is the key"

 

[DanEdser]

im also considering getting fog lights put in.. as atm there are just blanks.. how would i go about doing this? can i just wire it up to the low beam headlight or what? i really don't know where to start aha

 

[DanEdser]

and if you can help me out... im a complete newb at this sort of stuff... so telling me exactly what to do with everything would help me very much xD thanks

 

[LiamR172]

A set of Renault OZ F1's should fit right on...

No need to fit foglights because they're pointless.
Some people paint the blanks with can sometimes look nice if its a decent colour!

 

[Gildstar]

i thought about putting fogs in but blanks look better imo , keep the blanks lower it , turins , f1's or even turbines colour code it and boom done !

 

[DanEdser]

but i reaaaallllyyyyyy like the fogs!

 

[Gildstar]

but i reaaaallllyyyyyy like the fogs!

i thought the same , go down to your local scrapie and see if there's any clios there's more than likely there will be but its just lucky if they still have the fogs in them or not.

 

[McGherkin]

You can fit them but I wouldn't bother wiring them up. You'll never need them.

 

[DanEdser]

i'd use them as driving lights also can someone hit me up with somewhere where i can get the colour coded stuff i will need for the car? :S

 

[McGherkin]

i'd use them as driving lights

NO.

 

[DanEdser]

why?

 

[McGherkin]

Fogs are designed to be used when it's foggy. They're very bright, to the extent that they can dazzle (especially as the beam isn't aimed at the road) when used in less foggy conditions. It's also illegal to use them when it isn't foggy.
