Hi Kieran welcome to Clio Sport ,

Carbon effect dash trim
Colour Code bump strips

Looking forward to your thread buddy!

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Thankyou ,

Sounds Like some Good things there

Where would you recommend the best place to buy , Ebay ?

Felgz · Dec 19, 2011

Yeah Ebay , Demontweeks , K-TEC.. shop around and buy what you suits you.

If you sign up and become a member you can also view what other cliosport members are selling , and there are quite a few bargins! Also gives you lots of access to other tops such as guides on how to do bits , like spraying bump strips yourself ect.

some 182 or 172 alloys would be nice and wouldnt cost alot.... then lower it about 40mm on springs..... will look tidy. first mod has to be a rs grill......

welcome to cs

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Will check them out

Oh right i will have to check that out then and sign up .

Thanks for your time , much appreciated

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Sounds Good ive been looking at those alloys & the Turbines i think there called , Would look nice .
Definately Lowering it , I tried searching for the RS grill but cant find it anywhere :|

Felgz · Dec 19, 2011

that is the rs grill..... you may be able to get one cheaper off someone on here but youll need to sign up for the membership to access that page.... as for the springs. i actually run fk springs on my clio... i have a 40mm drop. i thinkt they are good for the money. and have had no issue with mine since theyve been fitted. passed a mot and everything with them on and had no issues. i paid bout 60 quid for mine also.

heres some pics of mine if u want to see how it would sit.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?607620-Five-door-replica-)

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Ok will check them springs out too , Nice Looking car you got mate .
I Love the wheels

spanishbhoy · Dec 19, 2011

if your talking about mine... then cheers haha

best 12 quid you can start with is buying the membership..... will help you loads with ideas. plus ul get a cool cliosport.net sticker ;-) and strange bottle opener/keyring invention

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Yeah Definately going to purchase a Membership

Felgz · Dec 19, 2011

Yeah mines pretty much standard apart from the back box but im to afraid i'll get eggs thrown at me for posting it up!

spanishbhoy · Dec 19, 2011

would look awesome stealth'd up felgz.... get a rs grill ;-)

Felgz · Dec 19, 2011

This is the exhaust , i like it however it sticks a little to far out to be honest , everyones entitled to their opinion!

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Nice Car Mate

You gonna get some wheels ?

Felgz · Dec 19, 2011

Thanks,

Im looking to get some Turini's,OZ F1's or Pro Race 1.2's however it'll proberly take a while considering im really picky.

Harpham · Dec 19, 2011

For inspiration (maybe), my old 1.2:

Knuckles · Dec 19, 2011

g'day an' welcome. check the non sport thread, youll get the idea of what looks good

SC03OTT · Dec 19, 2011

Welcome. I personally think the RS grille on non RS models looks pants, unless you use the lower RS 'waffle' grille as well.

Wheels and a slight drop will look good. Maybe look out for some 172 alloys. Look better without being obviously taken from a higher spec model. All IMO of course.

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Thanks for all the suggestions guys , much appreciated

Harpham ive been looking for a picture like that for ages , thanks for uploading it .
Wheels look really nice dude

Harpham · Dec 19, 2011

No problem matey. I loved that car.
Look forwards to seeing what you do with yours!!

To fit the 172 alloys and the 182 cup alloys do you need spacers for a 1.2 ?

Struggler · Dec 19, 2011

nope, no need for spacers fitting 172/182 wheels

have a nice long browse through the non-sport appreciation thread and get some inspiriation from there,
just dont go for anything too chavy like so many people do!!

also, try and get hold of the ebay rokkor/raceland coilovers!! they cheap and you can have you car sitting exactly the height you want it!!
just make sure you get the right fit as i think the non-sport ones are becoming a little hard to come by nowdays!! lol

KlioKieran · Dec 19, 2011

Ok will check them out on ebay

Chavy look lol , Going to a nice clean Look hopefully.

Joe# · Dec 19, 2011

It was a custom made system, by Longlife Exhausts. Far too loud though LOL. That was back in my 'chav' days.

KlioKieran · Dec 23, 2011

Update -

Ive Decided To Keep my Clio as Standard Until Feb/March

By that time i will have been driving 4 Years , So im going to Upgrade 1.6 Clio or Sport Depending on Insurance (1.2 is too slow lol)
But thanks for the suggestions guys , I will take them on board for when i upgrade because im still a newbie
