Lovely mate

 

[PaulClioSport]

lovely car, but get rid of the double tailpipe

 

[leewxm]

grooved discs are not standard...also your seats are not standard...but look tidy...i'd lose the "clio cup" stickers on the sills

Youve got seats from a 182 172 have leather/alcantara but not white perforated holes and the cups have cloth seats.

Car looks nice and clean but im not a fan of the remus.

 

[Aaronjr01]

Thanks for the information, I knew the seats weren't standard but thought they were from a Ph2 FF, but I now realise they are from a 182! Remus backbox wouldn't be to everyones liking I understand although personally I quite like it, and it does give a lovely roar agree with the clio cup stickers on the sills however I like the fact there are stickers there, kind of makes it look different from a bog standard clio but I'd prefer RSport stickers or something instead,verdict?

The only real modification I have thought about is getting my hands on a RS tuner?Would you guys recommend one?

looks good bud, but id get rid of the double tail pipe

 

[MichaelGrimes]

Are they mudflapss? or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

i think you right mate, they do look like mudflaps

 

[Danith]

Jib the open cone off aswell. it will be doing more harm than good, i had a green cotton IK on my ph1 and it made it less responsive. if you like the sound just disconnect the cold air feed pipes on the std airbox

 

[Bren Rogers]

Please get rid of that induction kit. Jealous of your immaculate wheels though.

 

[Aaronjr01]

Are mudflaps a bad call?I've always removed them from previous cars but hardly even noticed them until you guys pointed them out for some reason If I install a standard air box with an aftermarket panel filter would that be better than the cone?Thanks on the wheels what about the splitter, remove it too?

From what I hear the ph1 or V6 airbox is the best way to go. I had a hillpower infuction kit on my fitst ph1 when I bought it, and found it dulled the performance a little. Nothing wrong with the standard setup.

Nice ...wish my steering wheel looked like that !

 

[Jekyll]

I had a v6 air box in mine. The sound is very nice and not too throaty at lower revs. I woud recommend that or the standard air box with a panel filter and remove the acoustic valve for more sound if need be.

The open come you have will just be sucking in warm air from the engine. Rs tuner makes it feel
more responsive and feels like it can pull harder but you will lose the 5k kick as it will be smoother through the rev range. Some people prefer that and some prefer the standard map.

Defo keep the splitter. Looks llike a genuine Renault one and ther like £130 or something silly like that!

 

[mharvey]

That looks really, really tidy. I personally am not a fan of a few items mentioned above (stickers, exhaust, mudflaps) but I don't think they're too bad if that's what you like.
The front bumper looks immaculate compare to mine which has more stonechips than paint and I love the standard colour wheels, they look mint too.

 

[Aaronjr01]

I'll keep an eye out on here for a standard air box and if one comes up I'll install that and remove the cold air feed Not sure what to do about the RS tuner I quite like the kick at 5k... Unfortuneately the splitter has a crack in it, only small though so expoxy resin should do the trick.
