My first car 1.2 RN 1998 clio project

[CourtzClio]

Hey, this is my first car i was wondering if a 172 bumper would fit and the rear bumper also, dont want to chav it up as such just make it alittle different?

Heres the car as is.......

And the engine undergoing a detail clean.

 

[Shady08]

the rear bumper should fit no problems, possibly need arch liners from a 172 also as there slightly smaller i think, the front bumper will go on if you get the sport wings also as they slightly flare out at the side making it a bit wider

 

[Whiskerz16v]

the phase 2 172 rear bumper I'm guessing your meaning?

If not just colour code yours
And it will be the same as phase 1

 

[CourtzClio]

Alright Cheers How Much Do You Reakon It Will Cost???

 

[gunner3011]

[CourtzClio]

Na The Bumper I Got A Sprayer x

 

[CourtzClio]

I'm Also Looking For Some Alloys Ones Like These.......

 

[Rob]

Those alloys are ph2 172 alloys, and are pretty cheap at the moment...

You can fit sport bumpers but you need to fit the wings and skirts too and it starts getting expensive.

I'll link you to my old 1.2 project thread, if you have a read through, you'll see what you can do to them.

How it looked to begin with:

How I made it look

I also added a sport interior.

You Changed The Lights, Wheels, Thats What I Wanna Do What Else Did You Do?? How Much Did That Cost Ya Roughly Looks Better With Them Wheels On x

 

[Budgie]

IMO, save the money. You're never going to make that look a million dollars, so save the cash you would have put into it, and either put it towards saving for a new car, or spent it on ching and strippers.

Much love,

Budge x

He didn't say he wanted to make it look a million dollars, theres nothing wrong with a few subtle changes to make the car his/her own.

I'd say from Rob's a few hundered quid on his and it looks much better.

 

[Budgie]

I'm just saying, if i was 17 again, I wouldn't have bothered pouring money into my cars back then..

This. Nothing wrong with doing a few small things IMO, but don't chuck thousand(s) at it, save it for a 1*2 or something.

 

[Rob]

I made a profit on modifying that car. Some clever part buying, and I ended up selling all of my mods for more than I paid for them.

Mods..... (with rough costs picked up on here)

Front lights - 70
Rear lights - 35
Fog lights - 30
172 ph2 alloy wheels - 180
60mm Lowering springs - 65
Shorter aerial - 7
Upgraded speakers all around - 80
Alpine headunit - 100
Ph1 172 interior - 100
Ph2 rear bumper - 40
Dynamique/sport rear spoiler - 35
Basic custom induction setup for some noise - 30

I think that's about it.
