My Clio!

JoeyD · Feb 19, 2011

That's superb!

Needs spacers on the front though IMO, as has been said.

jaye2992 · Feb 19, 2011

Ye it does on the front but i've not looked into it yet, i know hubcentric are the way to do it but whether its safe and effects handling i need to look at

jaye2992 · Feb 23, 2011

Todays Update:

All is well. Getting timing kit and aux kit along with new water pump at the end of next month as she'll be 9 years old in april.

:approve:

jaye2992 · Mar 20, 2011

still needs the long awaited detail, ordered all the stuff last night and a ktec stealth should be on its way this week!

NussyBoy · Mar 20, 2011

This is looking really good mate ! You got camber bolts on the front ?

jaye2992 · Mar 21, 2011

EDIT: sorry no i havent got them, local garage set my coilovers up and they seem fine

jaye2992 · Mar 29, 2011

Did the long awaited detail yesterday and then went for some pictures

Took 5 hours all together, wash, tar remover, clay, wash, polish and wax.

jaye2992 · Apr 25, 2011

UPDATE:

Got my new exhaust system on saturday, custom made from Zorstec in Shipley. Great service and fantastic quality! Sounds great, not too loud but still sounds good

Also had the timing belt, aux belt and water pump done last week. Glad thats out of the way. No more plans as of yet, maybe colour codeing but not sure. Heres some pics:

cliojack · Apr 26, 2011

i really liek how it is now think maybe colour code or a 172 bumper would be good

HartZ · Apr 26, 2011

Whiskerz16v · Apr 26, 2011

I'll have to try some photoshops of it colour coded and then decide I think, relly enjoying it atm! Even though petrol prices are sky high haha

S TAYLOR · May 14, 2011

car looks really nice. same colour as my non-sport except yours looks 1000x better

MatthewR · May 14, 2011

car looks ace, im going to be heading that way in the hopefully not to distant future, (except the tints :dead: ) i wouldnt colour code it.. i like the rear bumper.

btw do you still have your black wheels?

Joe# · May 14, 2011

love it mate, colour coding will finish it off nicely

jaye2992 · May 14, 2011

cheers guys

and no i sold the black wheels a while back now, not sure about colour coding yet but i am thinking about it!

Also got it booked in for a new sound system next weekend as mine has just decieded to die

i'll update with pics when its all done

JackJack · May 14, 2011

Looks mint! Let me know if you sell the 172 rear bumper and spoiler.

Gildstar · May 14, 2011

i love your wheel's seen them a few times been tempted to get some of my own how much did you pay ?

Sam · May 14, 2011

Why dont you have the spare wheel in the spare wheel well ?

Sam!

jaye2992 · May 15, 2011

Paid £100 for the wheels and then got them re-furbed and all new tyres put on, worth it really! And I dont have that there anymore, got no spare wheel in at all now lol

laberridge · May 15, 2011

not a big fan of the wheels, would look nice with some pro 1.2's but very tidy car.

chapperzuk · May 15, 2011

Looking nice mate! I have the same colour Clio that I've recently brought. 1.4 Dynamique. Just wondering, have you sprayed the side strips black or are they standard? Just in a few pictures they're looking really black. They look good though! I'm unsure of whether to get my side strips done black or body coloured.

oh nice, you got project on here? The side strips are just standard with some meguiars trim stuff on them, it's really good stuff! Think i'm getting them colour coded soon though, cant decide! lol

chapperzuk · May 15, 2011

Ah awesome mate, I've brought some plastic bumper paint stuff from halfords. I need to get the preperation stuff to spray onto them first though. Although saying that I will probably get them body coloured I think. I do have a project thread, link below

jaye2992 · May 15, 2011

Sounds good, i'm no good at spraying so i'd have to get mine done at the body shop :L you doing the door handles aswell?
Nice one, I'll take a look at it.

Yeah, see I wouldn't mind giving spraying it myself a go, but I have no idea what paint I'd need to pick up. I know the colour code is NV632, but no idea what paint it would be. I will probably get the side strips and door handles done maybe. I'm so useless at decisions, it's unreal. :S

You can buy the paint at halfords, sand them down, plastic primer a few coats, then a few coats of colour and then laquer them. In a warm shed is best to do them. I did my old wheels in gloss black myself, came up really well

Nice one mate. I just don't know if Halfords would be able to get me a colour match on my car? The staff in there are useless at the best of times I find for the most basic of requests. How long have you had your wheels done now? It's just I'm told if you do it yourself, sometimes the paint starts to come off after a while. Is this true?

chapperzuk · May 15, 2011

Posted twice. :S

True they are useless, there are a few online stores that you can order the colour from. It wasnt these wheels i did, was my old standard ones. If you rub them down well and use a good primer and a good lauquer then the paint does last.

jaye2992 · May 24, 2011

UPDATE:

Got this installed at the weekend and finished it off tonight with the grill. The sound quality is great and can now use my boot again

I know not everyone will like it but I love good quality audio in the car.
Just need a new boot light now, cant find any white l.e.d ones anywhere. Anybody know where you can get them?

chapperzuk · May 25, 2011

That's a nice neat job you have done there mate. Where did you get the boot build from or did you make it yourself? Looks very tidy!

Also, here's a link to the LED Bulb you will want for your boot. It's a white light and brightens up my boot much better than the standard bulb. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260775848369&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3066wt_1141

DaNiMaL · May 25, 2011

you spent a fair bit mate, jl audio? haha moving up in the world, this makes me really want a silver one, nice example.

chriscummins7 · May 25, 2011

Who did the boot build for you Jay? Looks really good. The pics before... are they up in silsden on the tops?

Ha, I went up there the other day... well I say went up, I mean my poor car dragger her sump, subframe, gearlinkage, cat and sills all the way up to get into that bay where you're parked!! Bit of road re-surfacing

chapperzuk · May 26, 2011

No worries mate, the LED really make a difference. Do you have LED interior lights at the front of the car?
