My First Clio RS

[RS200-TB]

Hi guys

So after an extremely long 3 years of persuading and saving the time has come for me to finally go ahead and buy myself an RS.

I had been driving passed one on my way to work everyday and it was always staring at me as I went passed so last Friday I decided to go and have a proper look and a test drive of it. As soon as I set off on that test drive I knew that I had to have it. The big thing for me was the Cup Chassis it has as that was a must for me due to having my company car as my daily.

I'm due to have the car delivered tomorrow but I've already started with the modding by getting myself the LED bulb upgrade all round. I will be keeping you all informed of my progress with the car and hopefully getting some decent photos/drive time over the weekend.

I also want to know what other people's experiences are with what mods people feel are best? Everything from wind deflectors to exhaust! Your help will be greatly appreciated but please follow this thread and watch this space!!

Thanks

Tom

Thanks @PP172 it's not quite a cup (as far as I'm aware, just has the cup chassis) but either way, I can't wait for tomorrow to arrive!!

That looks great. Love them in white.

Good choice

Saw a white lowered one yesterday, looked very purposeful

Do like the look of those white ones, good choice. As it's a weekend car you aren't really limited by practicality, would personally recommend spacers as they hugely improve the look, and some kind of exhaust (can vouch for the Akrapovic but it's pretty damn expensive)

Thanks @imprezaworks @bill & @boultonn .

What size spacers would you go as I don't really want to be rubbing on the arches?

Thanks

No problem, I'm running H&R 25mm spacers all round, no rubbing using stock alloys, some also run 30mm lowering springs and believe you're still alright for rubbing

I will have to have a look and possibly invest in the near future!

Have a look at some project threads and you'll get a picture of how they look what you like

Thanks for all the comments guys!!

So Friday came and went really quickly! Sorry I've not updated you all yet I've been too busy driving it!! I absolutely love it. It needs a bit of TLC that I am going to enjoy giving it from mats to cleaning it! But here she is...

So the first step was to change the horrible plates on the car for a couple of nicer ones...

Once these were fitted it was time to get out and enjoy the car!!

I have some LED bulbs on order to replace the horrible yellow bulbs and also some new RS mats. The next big step is a full detail tomorrow and a new steering wheel! Any thoughts on how I should have the wheel done?

As always, thanks!

Tom

For the wheel I'd check out Royal, @Christopher had his done recently and it's a top top quality job.

I'll be honest, I haven't searched the forum but I just thought I'd ask if anyone knows the easiest way to spray/wrap/replace the front and rear badge as mine are in desperate need of replacement.

Thanks
