Hello from hampshiree

Hi well i've finally joined this forum . I previously owned a 1.1 saxo for 3 months until gear box went bang but got it sold and went and got a new car for myself. I no its not a sport or anything special but here it is:

Its had a new belt, head gasket, new tyres, windscreen etc and has covered 73,000 miles. I payed 800 which according to people on a saxo related forum is a bit over the odds but ahh well thats what i wanted to pay.

Anyways i was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of the guide to get my headlights looking nice? they currently look gastly.

thankyou

£800 seems ok but new HG, scares me a little.

Welcome anyway

yeah took a mechanic along with me anyways and he gave it a thumbs up and only needed it so i could keep my insurance going and not loose my no claims bonus or else i do not know how id pay insurance again, for this its £2400 250 cheaper then saxo tho (Y)

Welcome mate, not a bad car there. Belt change as your aware is very important!

Paying the membership fee is worthwhile, a wealth of knowledge is available on here!

£2400!? where was that from? www.wesawyoucomingcarinsurance.com?

 

[Dave..]

£2400 for car insurance?! You must be 15 or something?

 

[mattsclio93]

admiral, where i live me and the people i know are all paying 2000 + bad times ha

that's a good price for the car with a nice list of recent work done. remember there's almost no cars around worth less than £2k thanks to scrappage scheme

ooo forgot abouth that (Y)

anyways, are there any cheap mods - if you call them that that i can do to my clio? relatively easy mind you, i know nothing about clios, then again, thats why i'm here

 

[Si]

just keep it how it is. maybe get some new plates as the rear one looks as if it's delaminated?

 

[mattsclio93]

yeah got new ones on allready

 

[sideways danny]

I'd be looking for some genuine renault alloys, some quite nice ones on later 1.2 16vs. if it's the 1.2 8valve engine, you wont get any more power from it. Cracking engine for reliability but not a powerhouse, lol

 

[mattsclio93]

yeah not looking for power really, just visual alterations. Yeah i'm looking for standard clio alloys but will have to be after next pay day . thinking about removing badges and spraying the clio one as this would leave a hole? i've searched and found before and after pictures etc but none tell me how to do this step by step

 

[Sarah]

there are guides for spraying in the Clio guides part of the forum but you wont have access to them till you pay up
