MY CLIO 1.2 16V DYNAMIC

[kerry-w]

Nice job on the colour coding, how did you get it to shine up so well, mine always end up more matt in colour and more dull than the rest of the car, which is why im not going to do the bumpers :rasp:

Try giving Cliospares a ring for the washer bottle cap.

The colour coding does look rather good mate.

The matte look is because the plastic texture, would need alot of sanding to get smooth to achieve a better finish.

thanks guys i relised after i sprayed it that they were quiet matt so i gave them a really thick layer of laquar and then polished it and it came out better

Personally i wouldnt do a 182 rep as people will race you thinkin its a 2.0, I would just work with what you have got, Get down to the main things like lowering and a decent set of rims, you wont believe the difference those 2 things will make, Here is a picture of mine, i went for the euro look, all i have done is lowered 40mm and added some 8j wheels and thats about it really, everything else is just minor Also i have 2 different sets of wheels in these pictures but the ones i have now are the top picture

Finally a normal person on here that doesn't agree with rs replica's!! Love the car aswell mate

Been checking your colour coding and I'm impressed, I've seen some people do it themselves and it turns out looking absolutely naff. Yours looks pretty good! Good job there buddy, you ought to be proud of that.

 

[RedBeast]

im not going for a sport rep accept for the grille but my old grille was the s**t dynamic one your one cobalt looks pretty smart, the look i want is what cobalt said lowered and some nice deep dished alloys like borbet ts but atm moneys not good so hopfully around christmas time.

 

[RedBeast]

[RedBeast]

lool thanks ryan it was dumb of me but im glad ive changed them wernt keen on the GB but s**t happens.Also ive kept the front holder but got rid of the back one, im still not sure about the front one i will leave it on for now.

 

[RedBeast]

lool coball i love your car it inspires me.Also would yellow fogs go with the red or not??

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I think it will ye, Red and yellow usually go quite well, Just buy some lamin x tinting film for it

 

[RedBeast]

i read through your threads and it seems you had alot of problems with the wheels scraping and the stance what advice would you give me becaiuse i would like to go down that road of lowering with deep dish alloys??

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Its pretty simple Just get your arches rolled by a processional place with equipment then your OK Just try not to get wheels too wide, get some camber bolts for the front and shims for the rear and its sorted.

 

[RedBeast]

whats your setup??

did you camber the front etc like youve said, as i now have your alloys im gonna need all the advice i can get to get rid of the scrub haha

 

[RedBeast]

u know the silver 2.0l bullets what silve ris that as i want to spray my door handles the same colour??

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

did you camber the front etc like youve said, as i now have your alloys im gonna need all the advice i can get to get rid of the scrub haha

Alloys turn up ok? i think the coilovers you bought off me have adjustable camber on the front, the rear isnt but i didnt get round to playing with camber , Coilovers are nearly off now just the front left to take off Should be with you soon hopefully.

 

[RedBeast]

u know the silver 2.0l bullets dose any one know what silver is that as i want to spray my door handles the same colour??

 

[RedBeast]

??

 

[ahadz]

[RedBeast]

yo havnt done nothing to the engine mate and i dont think i will, no point really your not gonna get that much more power out of a 1.2

 

[RedBeast]

adjustable camber you say? thought i noticed a slight bit'o'camber but thought nothing of it but it makes sence now, and in regards to the headunit, if you cant get a answer on here literaly just pop into halfords/car electronics show and ask if someone could take a look and see what they suggest, i did with a place called sextons , they told me how to sort my head unit when i fucked a wire and didnt charge me.

 

[RedBeast]

its been a while and i think its time for some new wheel so i want the 172 wheels and i have seen 4 with tires in very good condition for 280 is that a good price??

 

[RedBeast]

I bought these 16 inch 172 wheels, they havnt arrived yet and i want some lowering springs, but HOW LOW DO I GO?

 

[BennWilson]

Great progress with the car mate. I'm probably going to be buying a 1.2 Dynamique this week in silver. I'd take it down 40mm.*
I'm planning on spraying my mirror caps and all badges in black and then colour coding the bumpers in silver. Was also thinking about spraying the stock alloys black. I don't want my insurance to go up at all and apparently spraying the car doesn't effect it. I'm going to be installing a sound system too though.

Good luck with the car mate.

P.S, brilliant mistake with the plates, made my day ahah!

 

[RedBeast]

My new wheels came however a locking bolt on one my old wheels has been chewed up and so i cant undo it.
Any ideas or suggestions on how i can remove the locking bolt?

 

[GeorgeH]
