[alex-avfc]

Desperately need an RS grille now any1 help?

Ebay or renault

Seen one on ebay for £47.95 buy it now exc postage...Seems an alrite price wat do u reckon?

I wonder how much Renault would charge...

 

[alex-avfc]

Cheers for that Ali. Im quickly becoming influenced lol! How much drop do u reckon, enough to make it sit better without looking TOO low?

Just depends what you like.
ive got the Apex 60mm kit and its quite low.
Just not low enough for me so im getting coilies

Im seriously starting to like the idea of the lowering lol, seen the APEX kit for £300 id best get saving

 

[Aluco]

Renault charge about £47 for the grille....

 

[VeinAST]

Thats what happened to Ali's old car then? He got a bodykit and a sprayjob?

[Ali]

Plenty fae you, youth!

 

[alex-avfc]

Notice at the bottom of my drive the neighbours hu changed their car lol! In the 1st pic they had a brand new red MK3 clio dynamique (which i was almost jealous of) then traded it in for a grey megane :S

 

[alex-avfc]

New to do list

After today fitting a new JVC head unit

now need:

-Silvatec indicator bulbs
-RS grille
-PI Lowering springs...gona go 40mm i think?

 

[traffmeister]

looks alr8 mate!

 

[amitshah1990]

- rid of mudflaps all together you dont need to replace it!
- NO to the lexus lights
- No to the renault sport badge
- Get the standard arial back

Basically +1 to what everyones saying. Other than that .. very tidy! =]

 

[alex-avfc]

Dont worry Ive gladly taken everyones advice! Was abit naive before

Until I get the money to lower it (This really should be done)

Im making minor subtle changes i.e. chrome indicator bulbs, RS grille etc

 

[stewart]

Keep it simple lad, as i told you earlier im now removing M3 skirts and repainting my drums and calipers to make them less Max Powerish!

 

[alex91621]

I understand it's your first car, but try and avoid been suckered in to spending your hard earned on it...Keep it simple. RS bits, grill, rep skirts and spoiler. lower it and enjoy the car. No need for tacky mods or mods that some people on here deem "Different and individual!" - it's code for looks b****cks!

Ah the good old days eh buckle...

Nice car and Nice place, mate

 

[alex-avfc]

Few minor tweaks

Im a bit skint atm hence the lack of progress

Diadems...

Look cool enough for about £13

And Silvervisions

Before...

After...

Oh and a Megane splitter which arrived courtesy of Pettsi, Im yet to even attempt fitting

Also collecting an RS grille from Sutton Park Renault in Tamworth next week

The Clio has also been subject to a few treatments of SRP and EGP, and due to the rain this week Aquawax, pics up when it stops raining!

im happy with the rest of it haha

EDIT: i bought my RS grille from Renault the other day, ordered on the monday, picked up on the tuesday

 

[Amy]

I did lexus lights on my first clio - I look back and think wtf? Though I didn't know much about modding and I had a right gem of a car!

Colour coding ftw! Good call on the RS grille, always a must. Not bad for a first car!

 

[Tigger]

Tidy 1st car mate, don't ruin it :rasp:
Welcome to ClioSport too!

 

[alex-avfc]

After a bit of SRP and EGP

 

[vinvin]

[Jordi17]

nice mate, where you get the silver bulets from? how much?

 

[oz_clio]

looks really clean

 

[Tucker]

[Think I might look at a 172 rear bumper instead..

/QUOTE]

hoorah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he has seen the light already!!

glad we have converted another one

good luck lad, you can make a silver clio look awesome with the right subtle touches

oh and be careful in the wet!

 

[Brett]

don't bastardise it mate

Look at some of the other non rs's on here they can look mint if modded correctly.

 

[micp]

Looks clean mate.
Follow what people have said.

And definately stay away from the Lexus lights.

 

[Bigsy]

looking good so far, colour coding is what i would do next

 

[alex-avfc]

nice mate, where you get the silver bulets from? how much?

I got them on ebay for £25 posted, dropped quite lucky really But have a look on the threads 'Middo' seems to be doing some good jobs on colour coding the bullets

 

[alex-avfc]

looks really clean

That has made my day after 4 hours of cleaning and detailing cheers lol

 

[alex-avfc]

don't b*****dise it mate

Look at some of the other non rs's on here they can look mint if modded correctly.

Yep, RS grill and Meg splitter to go on soon (I actually have them but havent got round to fitting), front left alloy is having a standard refurb on the 30th, then wana try and get one of those stubby Mazda aeriels, colour coding, then a 40mm drop if I;ve still got any money left lol

Looks clean mate.
Follow what people have said.

And definately stay away from the Lexus lights.

Cheers mate

I think theyre iceberg silver tbh, which is the default colour for the side badges that arent the standard black ones. Its certainly a different silver to my paintwork which is known as 'gris boreal' I believe mate

 

[cat171]

Nice looking first car that, don't barry it up.

 

[alex-avfc]

Update: Car since last post has RS grille, Honda CTR aerial and colour coded dash strips (Will post up pics soon)

NOW DESPERATELY IN NEED OF SOME GOOD 172 WHEELS! narrowly missed out on a pair on ebay not long back, if anybody has any in standard silver please let me know

Aside from that just going to lower it (Eibachs) and then keep it in good condition

 

[J03]

not bad, i got mine 2 years ago a black 1.2 dynamqie wuth 27k on the clock for 4k...

 

[caeteez]

The most enormous and IMO best area you can spend money on is colour coding and lowering. Just those together completely transform the Clio. Then look at adding all the extras like wheels, RS skirts and other details.
