[vinvin]

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-CLIO-...ZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem

if so could you post up some pics?

suggestions are welcome... :boring:

 

[jamesp24]

My suggestion would be don't get it

 

[Anonymous]

I quite like the rear end, but thats it im affraid.
I bet the fit is shocking too

 

[SC03OTT]

^ i think most peoples suggestion will be the same tbh...

 

[vinvin]

i wouldn't mind getting the 172 rear bumper but for the front...? dont really want the 172 front as i dont really want the replica look...
suggestions?

 

[JON13S]

the only way forward will be a custom variant of the sport bumper

 

[manicmonkey]

I like it, but its the paint job and alloys that really pull it off. If i had the money to do the job properly i would...

The kombat kit (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1973&pic=1) is another nice one, but again its the slick photography and paint job that makes it stand out

 

[Englebert]

Buy a V6, comes as standard.

 

[vinvin]

still want to stick with the ibherdesign... and what about this, the wide version of the mohave...

front:

rear:

but looks a pain as its a wide bodykit?

 

[joshhatton]

why ruin a perfectly nice clio?

if you want a big body kit save for the v6

 

[manicmonkey]

bodykit and respray is gona work out a lot cheaper than a V6! love the arches on that widebody kit, only thing is the back is a bit boring

 

[Bodge!]

mohave?

more like behave!

bodykits dont suit clios

 

[JoelDee]

Eurghgghh

 

[cat171]

:lolup: I was going to put the same.

 

[Limca]

what makes that bodykit look good is the wheels, i dont like it though

 

[Jaff]

that wide mohave is a phot shop by the looks of it for pics of one on a real clio look here http://www.girlracer.co.uk/gr2006/yourcars.htm is downt he page abit, in silver (i founds it on google images) IMO it looks gash, but to each there own, you need to spend alot of money to get any body kit to look good.

i hate the rear of that wide kit though its too blocky, and doesnt match the front.

Driven by someone called Cakewell...

Nuff said.

 

[cat171]

Awful - those 'ladies' (i'll use that word losely as I bet some look like geezers) do love their pink cars don't they

Actually there is some right sh*t on there lol !

 

[vinvin]

lol oh right. guess i might save for a V6 kit then... but prefer not to have a replica look... and thanks jaff87, that mohave on that clio did look a bit s**t

 

[vinvin]

OH and... this is for a 5dr clio , any further suggestions on that?

 

[cat171]

Noooo, not a v6 kit lol. They meant save up & buy the real deal, a v6 kit will look utter turd unless it's done with the original panels.

Deffo, no (now that you've added the part about it having five doors)

To me kits on a five door look wrong.

 

[SC03OTT]

how would a V6 kit work on a 5dr then? :-S

 

[towlie]

Quite like the wide version, kinda looks like a V6 but that front bumber is a disgrace!

 

[vinvin]

what do i do now then? weld the back doors to make it 3 door ? haha
i wouldn't mind the mk2 172 rear but front, still working on something... and side skirts, just some plain straight ones?

 

[Paul.]

think its f**king horrible tbqh:dead:

 

[Bloooor]

hahahahahahahaha...



NO! :approve:

 

[vinvin]

lol help!! does anyone on this forum have a 5 door with a body kit on?
would like some names and pics

 

[john182rs]

body kits an people on here do not come together eaily or very well as most dont like them but choose some thing that you will like or do like but make sure ya do like it as if ya dont youll regret it.

IMO - i quiet like the look of that kit but i would not have it myself though as i prefer how it looks on the sport models. You having the 1.2 range i can see why u want a kit.

 

[kpowell911]

In all fairness to the one on girl racing or whatever, It needs at least 18s on a Clio with a bodykit.

Do it if you want to, But bear in mind you will devalue you car and lose money. I've been there done that, I'll admit, I didnt just smack a bodykit on and leave it, I spent £££££'s makign a show car. When I sold uop, I lost thousands.

As a result, I drive an 04 1.2 Dynamique now instead of an E46 M3 or an Evo. Believe it or not, If I hadn't kitted my clio up, I'd have bee nable to have an M3 and still been better off each month.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it, And I'm glad I did it. But In the grand scheme of things, I urge you to keep it standard, And save your cash.

I know you are just thinking of a kit, But so was I, I only intended an off the shelf kit, By the time I finished the bodywork, I'd spent what a Clio v6 would cost on the outside itself!

Very well, sounds like a very fair point...
glad you replied to this thread, now i plan on not kitting it up save some money and get myself a nice DC5 (dont plan on getting a clio sport, maybe 197)

thanks very much! :rasp:

[kpowell911]

Seriously, Save your money and buy something special.

 

[vinvin]

hey crazy, do you still have your clio? (one in ur display?)
looks very nice...

 

[kpowell911]

Na i sold that for a loss 2 years ago, Had to buy a metro for 12 months and save up to buy a Dynamique, Should be getting a 182 soon though if insurance is on at 21

 

[vinvin]

mind me asking how much you sold it for :?

 

[Michael172]

buy it then you can learn your lesson the hard way.

 

[Final Maxim]

the "wide" one looks shite. i think the first one looks decent enough, back bumper looks pretty good and subtle, front bumper not to everyones taste, but its simple enough.

maybe look at the super 1600 kit if you really wanna kit the clio?

i think the right colour, with some detailed touches it pisses over the v6 for styling

 

[coatesy]

lad beside where i live has the mohave kit im not into ott kits unless from factory like a vxr, back bumper is nice and he had a carbon spoiler but i still pulled up beside him laughed at it.
i think modify the exterior is out of fashion now its all about tuning the engine
