Clio 197 Ultra Red
Renault clio mk3 1.4 16v pearl black
So i’ve had this car around 9 months now, haven’t done too much to it yet but now summer is approaching mods will hopefully be more frequent
Here is the car on the day of collection- I didn’t even have a full licence at this point, back in august last year.
Back on the drive I then immediately got the sponges out and gave it a good clean, and of course that big yellow arnold clark sticker had to go!
About 2 months later and i passed my driving test
took her out for a long spin, got a snap with my friends fiesta
This stayed pretty much standard for the first couple of months apart from a sony head unit, new in-phase door speakers and a sub (Not sure if this was just mine, but there was no speakers in the back even though the wiring was all there, so the standard ones were plugged in there). As the wheels were scuffed and paint bubbling quite bad I got them refurbished in anthracite & was over the moon with the look, heko wind deflectors also fitted.
Next up i purchased new number plates as the old ones were looking tatty, freshened the car up a lot more than i was expecting for such a subtle mod...
Old
New
Bought myself a can of plasti dip smoke to give my rear lights, side indicators and diamonds a nice finish
Yet to get a better picture but i think it gave them a nice stealthy look without being too much
and the front
Next mod: got some 35mm apex lowering springs but won't have time to fit these for a few weeks because of work
All opinions & advice welcome.
