Origional and v nice , the lights suit it but wont be to most peoples taste, suppose its a cheaper option to sport xenom projector lights

 

[Chrisjk]

Looks nice, headlights aren't ott. Deffinately needs dropping soon though

 

[phil1988]

cheers guys yea its a little original i wanted to do summit to it but not to keen on bodykits and all that but i think the smoothed boot makes it stand out defitnely going to deck it with in next couple of months. should i get spax coilovers or any1 recommend any others? there about 500quid i think

 

[Rob 88]

do you want it to go round corners or just to slam it, suppose its win win lol

 

[phil1988]

lol yea dont want to deck it so its scrubbin to much does look mint slammed tho . it lowered so theres no gap between the arch and tyre, whats that...... 40mm??

 

[Rob 88]

it varies, mines been dropped 35mm front and back with g-max shocks and springs and has a nose down stance and manages to clear speed bumps, just

 

[Rob 88]

 

[Rob 88]

there you go

 

[phil1988]

that yours ?
yea thats prob as low as i wanna go maybe tad more but with coilovers i can adjust the height so ill deck it and take some pics just to say ive done it and then put it to 35-40mm lol

 

[Rob 88]

yeah been mine for two years now, its perfect ride height really, just remember about the spacing between the bolts, most are 52

 

[phil1988]

nice mate damn urs is newer mines 53 plate lol and yea cheers will remember that

 

[Hazza]

Does ur rear number plate have a light?

 

[Rob 88]

Does ur rear number plate have a light?

You know the answer so why bother asking?

 

[Sash]

Looks quite nice little car, lights are quite subtle which i like, the smoothed boot makes it look a little like the campus, but with more of a twist!

That alarm kit must of cost a fair whack?! infact all those mods must mount up to a fair bit of cash.

Id possibly lower it but not so its on it knees so to speak, maybe 25-30mm?

Oh and put an RS grille on!

stating the obvious, but how do you illuminate the rear plate? i thought it was illegal not to have your rear plate lit up when your lights are on?

I dont know the answer, thats why im asking. :S

 

[Addz]

looks really nice mate nice to see the lights have gone to a good home!
love the smoothed boot, something i always wanted to do to mine but never got round to it

 

[Mark One]

nice car, nice spec. Only thing your missing from that spec seems to be remote start (if your into gadgets)

 

[Rob 88]

You know the answer so why bother asking?

I dont know the answer, thats why im asking. :S

Iv heard so much about you


Just PM me if you need any help, everything on my cars broken since i bought it lol so i know the 1.4's well

 

[Rob 88]

nice car, nice spec. Only thing your missing from that spec seems to be remote start (if your into gadgets)

Id leave it in gear lol

yea alarm was 604 quid lol its a thatcham cat 1, rang up insurance and they said it didnt make a difference to price, was slightly annoyed.

so basicly if the car was parked round the corner from my house at night with a sign sayin steel me it has no alarm your tellin me that they wudnt put the price up
but
a car thats got every sort of sensor and a alarm system that text's me with in 5 secs of the alarm goin off doesnt lower the insurance but there quite happy to stick loads more on if i lowered the car even tho that improves handling and would help me not crash in theory lol doesnt make sence to me ha the way it is tho i suppose

and yea everything else cost a fair bit worth it tho me thinks

 

[phil1988]

yea it does have a number plate light it has 2 LED blocks on the bumper shining down 5 LEDS in each ill go take a pic in a min

 

[Rob 88]

you can see them in the third pic already

 

[phil1988]

yea cheers addz really happy with the lights love the smoothed boot and yea will do rob if i get any problems lol

nice car, nice spec. Only thing your missing from that spec seems to be remote start (if your into gadgets)

cheers dude
only reason didnt get that was cus the company that fitted the alarm dont do it plus insurance companies dont like them that much think it puts a hole in the alarm aswell so pointless spendin 600quid on a alarm that people can easily steel lol

nice car, nice spec. Only thing your missing from that spec seems to be remote start (if your into gadgets)

Id leave it in gear lol

lol u cant leave it in gear with remote start well u can it just wont start the car cus has some kind of sensor connected up to the gear stick.

 

[phil1988]

I dont know the answer, thats why im asking. :S

cant take a pic doesnt come out very clear but like rob said u can c them in the 3rd pic, think they look gd as hard to c but definetly light the plate up enough 1 wasnt quite enough so had to buy another lol

 

[phil1988]

***Update***

Finished my sound system yesterday all custom made by me and my dad, prob not to everyones taste on here but i love music and since i covered it in leather goes nicely with the seats, plus made it so it can come out easy if ever go on holiday or need to put summit big in the back (but not so easy that some1 can rod it plus they would have to get past my alarm system 1st lol) soooo what you all think?

[Dave J]

Dewiper the back, even tho its abit impractical it'd make that back end supersmooth. Oh yeah how much did the smoothing cost you? musta been a fair bit cos obviously youve gotta respray it..

 

[phil1988]

was lookin through ebay and a bloke was selling a smoothed boot, just my luck soooo thought id get it cus wud save alot of trouble welding a plate in and filling it, think i paid about 200 - 250quid for the boot and respray in black, not to bad i think its worth it, looks pretty gd was thinkin about the wiper not sure tho.

 

[Alexander]

nice but im not too keen on the smoothed boot but the rest looks great. bet that sound system kicks out some serious noise!

 

[Dave J]

The smoothed boot is awsome mate i love it! You got remote opening then?

*looks on ebay for smoothed boot*

Nah found a loada boot lids though for about £50 or so delivered! Seems that not everyone on cliosport likes the smoothed boots, had a look in the exterior bit yesterday but then again most of clio sport only like standard cars, or non RS ones turned into standard RS ones.

 

[BioHzrd]

Go with an RS Grill and lower it and your set mate looks good although not a fan of the smoothed boot

 

[phil1988]

cheers for the comments guys and girls
supose the boot is just a matter of opinion and taste, i respect the people that dont like it but i love it lol think makes the clio look different with out putting bodykits and all that on.

yea need a Grill me thinks

 

[Skinny]
