My 1.2 16V Campus from France - built not bought



  Clio 2.4 1.2 16V
Hello everyone !

I'm from France and active on French Clio forums, but wanted to come here to share with UK people because there are more non-Sport modified than in France and I'm tired to see dCis everywhere. :p Please excuse me if my English is not perfect, I do my best. ;)

I had my Clio 4 years ago and performed many mods on it since. :) It was 10k miles when I bought it, now 65k miles. I perform all maintenance and mods on it myself, whereas I had not done any mechanics before.

Here's a list of the mods :

Chassis :
- Bilstein B8 - Eibach Sportline -45/-30 (had Pro-kit fitted before, but not anymore rake with these...)
- Front and rear OMP strut braces
- Front camber correction bolts and rear camber shims (-1°30' all around)
- 16mm Bratex hubcentric spacers all around, nuts and studs
- dCi anti-roll bars (thicker than stock 1.2 16V ones)
- Rear brake discs system from dCi 100
- Front Brembo Max discs - Black Diamond fast road pads all around

Engine :
- Green Wind forced intake
- Toyosports oil catch tank
- Oil temp gauge
- KTR supersports stainless stealth catback
- Kangoo subframe skidplate

Inside :
- Recaro Trendline buckets from RS2004 Team
- RS1 ball gear knob
- Full led white lighting with glovebox light and second boot light
- Pioneer self-amplified subwoofer under driver's seat

Outside :
- RS1 OZ F1 15" alloys
- Black surrounding halogen headlights
- Philips X-trem vision low beam bulbs
- Nokya high output yellow foglight bulbs
- DRLs using high beam at low power
- Front splitter
- Aero wipers

There would be way to much pics if I showed every mod, so don't hesitate to ask for pics if you want. ;)

Still have some plans for the Clio, it never ends... :D But not sure to do everything, it's more a wishlist than an to do list. :p Some stickerbombing, sunroof, dice valve caps, Cup spoiler, automatic AC conversion, slight tinted windows, team heko deflectors, OEM mudflaps, roofbars...


And now some recent pictures of my Clio :

Cheers ! :)
 
Love the car mate, good to see not just uk people on here! I lived in France for three years a few years back! Lived in the south west and north west. Complete different culture out there :) sometimes I wish I never came back.

A tout-a-l'heure :) (excuse my French - lived in France around age ten and I'm twenty now!)

Thanks mate. :)
I really love my country with its qualities and defaults... But I have to admit that UK is a more friendly place than France for cars, especially when modified.
I think you speak French as well as I speak English... :p
 
My favourite perk was no school uniform! Haha. Yeah I can understand that, recently went to Paris for a fortnight and my French got me by, so easy to get lost! But I agree, my French is as good as your English :)

really nice pics! like your car too! as for your plans, don't bother with sunroof, roof bars, window tints or mudflaps ;)
Thanks mate ! :) My plans are not 100% serious, but I really want to install a sunroof. Mostly because I want one, but also because of the challenge. if you know what I mean ;) When I have an idea stuck in my mind, I always end doing it. :p It was the same case for the rear discs, i did not really need it but really wanted to perform the install.

That's really cool, can tell you've put a lot of effort into that.
Thanks a lot ! :) It's the case. Now I'm really happy with the way it looks, handles and sounds.

too much hassle for what its worth! non OEM sunroof... will cause leaks and all sorts!
I want to install on OEM sunroof mate. And with a well-done joint it won't leak at all. ;)

Sunroof is the last thing you want, they do nothing but creak and groan and drive you insane!
I already know that. There is a fix for the squeaking sunroofs on Clio 2. ;) And I don't worry about noise, it won't cover the exhaust sound and I already have squeaks an creaks everywhere due to the lowering and hoonage. :lolup:
 
Those pics are spot on! Really need a good landscape for some pics on mine, your car looks so good, I wouldn't know what else to do to it :) maybe some anthracite speed lines, would really set off the colour of your car. But I really like the alloys you currently have! Tricky one when your car is spot on :)
 
  Clio 2.4 1.2 16V
Thanks. :) It's tricky to keep on modifying when being at this point indeed. Now there will not be any major changes aside from the sunroof.

Sometimes I think about going lower (like this one : http://clio.mousur.org/Shooting/20111127/.medium/IMG_1508.JPG) but I don't want to ruin the brilliant handling I have with the Bilteins. B14 coilovers would be a good solution but they're expensive and won't go this low. Anyway I'll wait for the B8 to be worn out to replace them.

Looks like a lovely setup, really smart (plus it's a 5-door so I'll always have a soft spot for them ;))

Do you have any info on the the dashboard wiring? I love the idea of the hidden sub beneath the seats - I bet that anchors it down really well :D

Welcome to ClioSport, nice car, i love OZ F1 wheels!!
Thanks. :) OZ F1 always look good on mk2 Clios.

Thank you, my aim was to obtain an OEM+ look and I think I succeeded. :)

Sorry I don't understand your question about the dashbord wiring...

The sub isn't very powerfull but works great at standard volumes, it's provides a nice enhancement for no boot room loss. :)

Hope you will enjoy your trip ! ;) But you guys in UK have also fantastic landscapes. :) Amazing B-roads too, but unfortunately way too much traffic on it... :(

Thanks mate :)

love it, front end looks almost like a renault sport!
Thanks. You're right, people often ask me if it's a RS. :)
