Cheers pal. Bulbs and plates are definately on the cards. Frustrating with the costs of lowering on insurance!! I am slightly put off bumper because of having to re-arrage the boot too. Probably would get interior if a cheap one cropped up. Appreciate the advice

Cheers mate! dads loving it, especially the sound of that turbo!!

A few little things I've done:
Silvervisions
Little V6 Clio mascot for the dash
5mm spacers to stub rears rubbing
Carbon Wrapped Bullets, not too keen on these but I have since done the rear badge and dash inserts which look better
Also got some Eibach Sportlines 40mm on there way soon

Cheers mate, the grill fits just the two clips on the side of the centre piece of the bumper have to cut off.

Cheers mate. Megane is my dads, he liked my clio so had to one up me haha!

Update:
Got rid of the carbon wrapped rear badge and bullets, looked dog
Kept the carbon wrapped dash inserts and front badge as I like them
Eibach Sportlines came and fitted them over the weekend, I went for 40mm because I live out in the sticks and any lower could cause problems that I could do without. Happy with the results, there is no longer an unbearable arch gap
Happy with how it's come along, only a few little plans for the future as I'm enjoying it as is atm:
Clean plates
Spacers
Replica skirts (maybe)
Cup Spoiler (maybe)
I have a few dinks on a couple of panels, they have been bugging me since I got it, any advice on how to pull them out? What tools are best etc? I tried getting to them by removing the plastic trim to the side of the rear bench but couldn't access them..
Also to touch up a couple of my alloys as they have curbing, might wait till winters long gone for this though.
Roll on the pics...
Before the weekend
After
I swear it looks lower in real life but hey ho. Last one of the carbon inserts

Nice tidy looking car that buddy, nice work.
Much better than most 17 year olds, myself included back in the day!

Thank you mate, appreciate it!

Cheers man, go for it, would highly recommend!

I was thinking the same. I have 172 wheels on mine at the minute but I think the 182 wheels really do suit it
They both can look good
I bet the 172 wheels would look great on it if they were silver.
RB 182
Yeah got them silver. I think they look silly any other colour. Mine just needs lowering now

Not any progress, but gave the clio a detail yesterday and this morning had some mint beading frozen on

A few small little jobs done over the weekend:
-De stickered the back and put a more discrete cliosport.net sticker at the top
-Plastidipped diamonds including the wheel diamonds (neater finish that wrap)
-Removed the yellow fog film, gone off them a little, going for a cleaner look
-De badged the rear, I snapped the clip on the 'clio' badge due to not realising they where clipped in! Need to glue to clip back on unless there is a nicer alternative which would fit in the two lugs? Alternative is to spray the current badge black.
-Also ordered for clean plates, although the 3/4 size is much nicer looking I went for full size just because it's less hassle and legal
Anyway here are the pictures sorry for the quality of some again couldn't find my camera.

Looking into spacers, wheels are a little hidden in the arches, what size do people recommend with the 182 alloys?
I was thinking 20mm front and 10mm rear or something similar?

Spent a couple hours working on her today. Changes since the last update are minimal but make the difference; clean plates, cut down aerial and black sprayed clio badge (glued it together). Planning to colour code the rear boot button.
I also had a chance to try my new detailing products including autoglym de-tar, dodo juice clay kit and autoglym HD wax (thank you @Sunglasses_Ron). I am impressed with the results, claying makes all the difference.
On a less positive note, someone is building a solar farm near my house meaning big ass lorries are destroying the road. I was coming round a blind corner and a lorry was coming the other way. Both hit the brakes and but the mud covered road had no traction and we were sliding to a collision. I had to basically drive into a hedge to prevent being crushed. It didn't pay many favours to my paintwork scratching down the side, however at least my head isn't a gooey mess on the road. Also managed to polish the worst of the scratching out, here's a shot of one of the worst sections before I attacked it. Also lucky clio wing mirrors bend both ways otherwise it would have snapped clean off.

Looks good mate!
HD wax looks great on blue cars.

Sunday = Car fettling day
So having stripped out the rear seats I bought some carpet of eBay for 10 and salvaged some wood from the shed. I thought I would have a go at smartening up the boot, not a fan of the bare metal. I know people will say whats the point, but I carry my bike in the boot a lot so that's a bonus, plus is was a fun little project that cost pence. I need to get some spray glue to mount the carpet to the wood better, at the moment it's just tacked underneath, despite this still looks good, just some minor adjustments left to do.
I also have some LED sidelights fitted, dipped and main beam in the post. Got carried away as usual and took more shots of the car after a clean and wax

It's been far too long since I've posted an update so here we are.
Scrapped the false boot as it was noisy, impractical and useless. You have to try these things once..
I was pretty happy with the front end so I decided to start on the rear, pun intended. After learning that plastidip is useless and starts to peel off after a month or so I re-did the badge with what I had left and lacquered over the top, this seems to be far more resilient to water and looks smart. I also colour coded the rear boot button, after seeing this done on other project threads I thought it looked good with the black and I'm happy with the outcome.
After this I managed to persuade my girlfriend to get me a ktec supersport cat back exhaust which cropped up on eBay, for my 18th birthday, two weeks after buying it finally arrived having been sent to the wrong buyer then re-shipped. Anyway after a few hours, with the huge help of @1812lsd we managed to get the exhaust in place.
Then just this evening I set about centring the exhaust and fitting the plastic trim, which was a b*tch of a job due to the campus bumper being a weird shape. The exhaust is sitting a little low in my opinion but unless I buy a new rubber centre for the rear bracket it's staying that way. There is astill a little bit of tidying up to do as I had to cut into one of the bumper clips as you can see on the left.
Apart from that not much has happened apart from using it as a daily driver and a recent full detail using my new products and following one of the guides on here. So here is how it sits at the moment.

Thank you mate, appreiciate it

A mate had some tint film left lying around so I had a little play, I like it as it's discrete and adds to the blacked out image. What do you guys think?
Corolla T-Sport
Thanks mate, think I'm done now, got insurance and MOT coming up soon anyway.
Only thing I would do is change to a 172 bumper if one cropped up locally.
Front or rear? (I think I know the answer).

Thank you pal. Admiral multicar insurance, dad set it up but each mod is roughly 40-60 extra. Insurance was 900 to begin with all in my name without a box. I do live in a good postcode for insurance.
Arctic 182FF
Bloody hell that's good! My first year's insurance was £2660 on a 1.2 16v clio with no mods, I had a box fitted and had limited miles!
Corolla T-Sport
Ouch!!! I don't think I would be driving if that was the case
I have been contemplating spacers but they cost so much for what they are! I always keep an eye out on the sales section, what size do you reckon?
