My 1.2 clio minimal mod project

[darstellar]

Okay so the car is pretty slow but its great on insurance and with a few mods it should be looking great. Bought the car as standard with nothing changed.

First things first: Alloys! IMO the most important aspect to changing the look of the car. Here she is with her new boots...

Next was a decent head unit...
(pic coming soon)


To do list:
- black rear lights
- new backbox
- 30mm lowered
- 182 grille

Would love some thoughts on it and any suggestions for what to do?

I don't like the idea of black rear lights. Seems to be a bit backwards, making a light black on purpose? Doesn't look good either imo.

RS Grille is a great idea, transforms the front end. Possibley a K&N57i induction kit? I know this is a popular mod on the 1.2's, the one Inhad on my old 1.2 (also red!) was great.

yay 5 door. go for clear side repeaters dynamic spoiler colour coding and a bit lower should look great

Rs grill,a tidy air filter for a nice sound(i have one on my 1.2 and sounds great!) Colour coding! should look good lowered!

Leave it, looks fine as is.
It's a 1.2 Clio Le Shopping. It's not a sports hatch.

Also, 30mm drop means 30mm less clearance for road humps etc. Give that some thought.

If I was you I'd avoid the black rear lights, I'm also not a huge fan of the alloys. You're definitely on the right tracks going for an RS grill though. Consider colour coding, a 1*2/cup spoiler, silvervision indicator bulbs, 1*2 interior etc.
Lowering definitely improves the look of the car, I think you'd need a bit more than a 30mm drop but every little helps. 30mm drop is a lot more practical than having it really low on coilovers.
