My 1.2 dynamique - ideas please

[Bradd]

Well i've had this clio for about a month now and until I can save up for insurance on one with a bigger engine, (in probably about a years time) I just want to do a couple of cheap and subtle mods to my clio to make it look a bit better, here is a pic of it.

Any suggestions would be great, thank you.

If youre planning on getting another within the year, spend nothing and enjoy the next one!

If anything, colour code & wind deflectors and leave it be. Nothing major.

 

[Kitson93]

Forgot to mention, do maintenance. Best money you could spend!

 

[Bradd]

yeah, thanks for the reply, might have a look at those wind deflectors...would ebay be my bestfriend for that one?

 

[Kitson93]

thats where i got mine from, should be plenty on it.

Basics;
RS grill
Clear indicator bulbs
Colour code
Wind deflectors

More costly;
Full 172 rep kit (Wings, Front and Rear Bumper and Side Skirts)
Cup Spoiler
New alloys;172 alloys, 182 alloys, Turinis, OZ F1s (My Favs)
Lowering springs/coilovers
Sport interior
Sport steering wheel

Can't think of much more atm lol

I wouldn't even bother if you're only keeping it a year. It'll be wasted money. Unless it's stuff you can swap over to the new motor, and you keep the original parts.

all good ideas thanks, im thinking wind deflectors, rs grill, 172 alloys and maybe lower it 30mm

Sounds like a good plan mate! A bit of colour coding makes a big difference too! You can do the side strips yourself quite easily just takes time and care.

yeah... is there a guide on it anywhere? it would be handy to know which sprays I will need, etc

If your only having it a year, keep it as it is, then sell on to someone who wants a base car for a project, and then if you don't find a seller quick, because it standard it open to sell for everyone, Save the money for next year project.

hmm, also a good idea, it's a tough one. perhaps I should wait and save my money for a year, buy a 1.4 maybe or stick with the 1.2, that is lower mileage so I can keep it for a long while, my car is currently at 119k. It still runs and feels like it's only done about 80k but for that peice of mind i would rather have a low mileage car. cheers
