That's my dilemma, what are the laws on stick on plates? I will have a working light. Either that or a new tailgate but that seems too much hassle for what it's worth.
You could just get a non-Campus tailgate and there you go. Stick on plate or anything else would look cack!
looks nice man, just needs more lows

Thanks mate, i'd love to lower it more, trying not spending any more money though.

A few changes since the last update. Bought a sub, cost me next to nothing of a mate who had it sitting in his garage. Sound quality is good, justing running it with sony xplod headunit and standard speakers.
I also DIY re-furbed my scuffed alloys, I went of BMW sparkling graphite, which has turned out darker than expected. I have got used to the colour and am beginning to like it. I used halyards paint and it cost me £40 overall, the finish is average, but for the money can't complain.
Also removed the 'sport' badges off the door pillar, prefer the cleaner lines.
Apologies for the dirty car, a full detail is coming up this week before the French car show. She will be on the Cliosport stand.
Comments and suggestions welcomed, can someone also recommend me a durable trim dressing/restorer, under £15?

Looks good mate ! One of my sport badges on the door fell off so i ended up taking them off a while ago ! As for a trim dressing i highly reccomend autoglym trim restorer ! I use it on my car and in work on the sales cars seems durable doesnt leave a cheap look shine and it seems to last wash after wash hope this helps

Thanks man, mine were stuck on pretty well, seems the lettering is slightly imprinted onto the paintwork, only noticeable if you study it though. Sounds good, ideal as the local halfords has some and 3for2 atm. Can you do the tyres with it too?
You going to FCS?
Clio 1.2 16v
Awesome Clio, looks really clean! I had a quick question about your silvervisions, where did you get them and what fitting are they? I found some PY21W fitment ones for a good price, but i dont have time (ie I'm too lazy) to work out what will fit. I'm assuming that the fitment will be the same on your campus as on my Dynamique. Cheers!

Finish college apart from exams, so had some time on my hands to do some detailing. She is all ready for FCS this weekend.
Here is a list of the products and methods I used:
Washed - Autoglym shampoo conditioner
De tar - Autoglym tar remover
De Iron - Iron x
Clayed - Dodo juice clay bar and lube
Polish - Autoglym SRP
Sealant - Autoglym EGP
Wax - Autoglym HD (for a little extra shine)
Trim Dressing - Megs trim restorer
It really could do with a going over with a DA but I can't bring myself to spend the money on one. I'll keep and eye out for a second hand one, as I don't want to go Silverline, i've been advised away from these.

I was distraught to find that my car was the highest on the cliosport.net stand at FCS. Therefore I've decided when the funds allow it to go for a cheap set of coilovers, which of course means spacers too and maybe the addition of a sports interior.
Undecided whether to take the car to uni, it will drain the bank and only be used for pleasure as everything in Nottingham is in walking/biking distance. If I don't it will be put into storage, so I am keeping it for a good few years yet.
Anyway here are a few pics from FCS

Thanks mate, that's what it's all about, how low are you thinking? Plates are pence, got mine for £10 of eBay and the quality is decent!

Hi,
according to the fitment of the 172 Grill. Does it fit without any changes?

There are two clips either side of the centre section which have to be cut off. It will fit without doing this just it won't sit correctly.
Other than the clips as said, fits perfectly and is a 5 minute swap.

the reason was I tried to mount the original Grill like yours on my MK2 II and this wont fit in the middle. It was completly diffrent.
You didnt get a MK3 front grille my mistake did you? As they are slightly curved IIRC
Clio RS
Ife got this one
and want to Mount the same as you had original...but it wont fits

Hmm odd. Mine went straight on no hassle. Post a pic of your car with it?

Yeah I've seen the eBay plates! Can you get me a link of the ones you bought, quality can be a bit hit and miss on eBay!
Corolla T-Sport
I've had a look through my eBay history for you and the seller was called 'autosounds_direct'. However from a quick browse I don't think they do plates anymore.
Thanks pal. Spent a long time looking through your photos from the show, some lovely shots!
Is photography a hobby or profession? The website you had them on was very professional.

Little update:
I carried out a mini service was 10,000 miles since the last, consisting of oil filter, oil and air filter, plugs were done a month of so ago.
I discovered yellow gunk under the oil filler cap, which I have been assured is most probably condensation, common for the 1.2 16v engine. This is possibly caused by many short journeys. After having nothing to do all yesterday I rang up a mate and we went for a drive, to try and really heat the engine and get rid of the gunk. We went up on the hills to get some shots as well. His corsa gets pretty abused but I think it looks alright for what it is. Looking into spacers for the front as my next purchase, thinking 20mm. Also some new bulbs for main and dipped beam and a richmond gear knob.

Can't stop myself from spending money on this car, meant to be saving for holiday haha.
Firstly I upgraded to osram nightbreakers, they are more yellow than my side lights still, haven't had a chance to fully test them as it gets dark really late atm. Also upgraded the number plate light to an LED one.
The gear knob insert was looking a little sorry for itself so I sanded it back and re-painted it in the exterior colour, then I used a sticker and lacquered over the top. I feel it's come out well. Sticker is a little high and not the best quality but it's very small scale.
Finally I went with a mate to the scrapyard looking for some bits for his car, I found so spacers with extended bolts which were 4x100. The geezer only wanted a 5er for them. So I now have 20mm spacers on the front, going to search for some 15mm for the back.

With uni a couple months away i've been debating what to do with cars. Either keep the clio and take it to uni because it's cheap to run, or upgrade to something quicker (was looking at 6N2 gti's and corolla t-sports) and leave the car at home. I checked with my insurers and either of those cars would be £400 more on the insurance for the year, not really worth the costs imo, so I am keeping the clio probably for another year or two, when insurance costs will hopefully drop.
I am happy with how it's sitting at the moment, I'm toying with a few ideas such as a black roof wrap, 3/4 plate for the front, rear spacers and a sport interior. Opinions on these and other suggestions welcomed. Some of these will happen once i've back from my holiday with the lads, providing I haven't spunked all my money in zante haha!
Anyway I treated it to a full detail. I am happy with the results, the paint comes up very well. However not having a DA means I struggle to get the swirls out fully, there is only so much AG SRP can do by hand.

I've never been a massive fan of campus' but this one made me change my mind xD Nice car

Change of plan means the car is being returned to standard and sold. University means it will be sat at home for months on end. I will stay on the site as there is some top content to browse through and hopefully have another project thread in the future.

Going to be sad to see it go, it's been a great first car but it's time to move onwards and upwards
im at uni and now im second year i can take the car xD

Got some 25s that looked great on the front of my dci that was lowered 60mm with 20mm at the rear pm me if your interested will do 50 quid posted. Sorry to hijack your thread. Car looks spot on think the non sports are overlooked for modifying if you don't do anything to drastic they always look smart. Keep up the good work
Just seen your last post lol mods feel free to delete my previous. Good luck with selling!
