Jon.G's Capsicum Red Ph3
- Thread starter Jon.G
- Start date
Got a few things done today ready for the MOT tomorrow.
Got the drivers side fog light fitted thanks to him providing my with a spare foglight and holder, Fitted my RS grill that I bought again. Then swapped the 1*2 xenons out for the standard units for MOT reasons.
How she stood before:
Then got the above done:
Also decided to clean up the engine bay as it was looking pretty dirty, Also when cleaning noticed my topmounts were not tight at all, so tightened these back up.
I'm actually unsure of the RS grille now as well, I think I prefer the ph3 grille just because its different, makes the front end look more aggressive as well.
1*2 Xenons will be going back in tomorrow after the MOT.

Love it!
Yeah I did think that.
This is what It looks like with xenons and grill. However as you can see I no longer have the colour coded mouldings.
All 75hp of an engine
It's pretty easy to tidy the bay up, because there's not much in there and plenty of space to work with.
Yep, I remember your ph1 with turbines. I thought about white for ages and came out much better than I expected.
They ended up getting stone chipped and cracking. So removed them.
I think the front end looks 'soft' colour coded, whereas now it looks a bit more aggressive. Breaks up all the red nicely as well IMO.

I think colour coded inserts hide the fact that the cars not packing and make it look more sporty
I thought for the sake of 10minutes I may as well just do it. I'd rather pay for an MOT once. I also took it to Renault so they'd probably have a fit.

Each to there own an all. Sometimes it looks good sometimes it doesn't. After doing it once I didn't see the point it going through all the effort for that bit of colour that will be chipped and crack a few months down the line.
That will be the one then mate
Clio 1.2 mk2
Looks awesome mate! I almost bought some turbines at a vdub show the other week. May have to go on the search now they suit the car nicely!
Yeah they are quite popular in the dub scene. I got my from a friend who ran them on his polo, then I got them powdercoated. With being only 6.5J they are abit skimpy.
**UPDATE**
Ended up buying some -90mm springs off Joe and due to the rear adjuster platform bolts being seized in I've not put them on, but I ended up taking the rear platform adjusters out for some more lows. Given just that added but of lows, and I actually think its pretty much perfect on the rear now so I'll probably end up selling the -90mm's. I'm still playing with the front, Tired to lower it more but got massive amount of scrubbage so I'm trying to figure something out.
This is how its currently standing, Excuse the dirt

The bumper mount, I'm going to cut it off when I get round to it, for now its scrubbing the arch liner infront of it:
I don't have a full car. I refuse to drive people around lol. My friends have focus's and golfs and a diesel clio's so usually just take those if we go anywhere together.

Shusssh, least I'm not running a spare wheel!

165/50s would sort out your scrubbage problem mate! Mine doesn't scrub at all. However it does give huge amounts of lows...

its the new look.
Awww too much scrubbing? That's a shame; reckon the -90's would have looked ace!
I rolled (hammered lol) my arches and sanded down all the bumper mounting to get mine to not rub, but it was worth it.
