My First Clio

[Whiskerz16v]

Alreet another newbie here

jut got my clio on monday night after travelling from Burntisand to Alloa....

the plans for now are;
get a wing mirror from scrappys
mk3 rear lights
either smoked or clear side repeaters
Short aerial
uprated speakers
sort of the CD changer as skips like a b*tch
maybe give the alloys a refurb

then if i can wangle as full time job over the uni summer then some 40 or 60mm springs might find there way on

Looks like a tidy motor mate, do you stay in Burntisland?

 

[theduck]

Good luck fitting Mk3 lights, lol. (you want mk2 ph2 lights btw)
Clear side repeaters are best.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

yup sure do stay in burntisland

meh ive always known the mk2 ph2 clios are mk3's and im sticking to it lol most folk get confused when you go for stuff like mk2 ph2 :L

 

[theduck]

Ok, but you are just wrong and people wont know what you are talking about. Even by your own rules you are wrong, as mk2 ph2 would the MK5.

Proper names - Your rules

Mk1 ph1 - mk1

Mk1 ph2 - mk2

Mk1 ph3 - mk3

Mk2 ph1 - mk4

Mk2 ph2 - mk5

Mk2 ph3 - mk6

Mk2 ph4 - mk7

Mk3 ph1 - mk8

mk3 ph2 - mk9

i dini even realise there was a phase 2 mk1 lol
oh well
i ken the lights im after anyway

 

[guysy]

^Theduck is right you have a Mk2 Ph1, Pretending its a Mk3 will get you so funny looking parts for the car.

You need mk2 ph2 rear lights, If you want the newer model looking lights.

Tis a tidy motor, Not sure if it a project?

Some decent plans going on, Silver indicators will take the orange out of your headlights, Clear side repeaters will look better as well... Then just lower it and leave it as that.

 

[ekaJ]

looks good.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

never thought about the silver indicator bulbs actually
so its clear side repeaters then
anyone know what fitment the headlight bulbs are? im gonna get some of the ultra bright ones are the standards are utter gash!

its either H4 or H7 iirc

 

[ekaJ]

H7 i think.

Get some HIDs on :rasp:

 

[Whiskerz16v]

HID's are well out of my budget.. im a poor student lol
so just a complete set of ultra bright bulbs will do me

hmm wonder if i could get a colour coded spoiler to fit.....

god damn cars! i always find something to spend the money on !

oh yeah and im thinking a K&N replacement air filter

 

[theduck]

can get HIDs on the bay for £40

 

[Whiskerz16v]

hmm thats just tempting me now! as thats about what id spend on the ultra bright bulbs for full/dipped beam!

*runs back to ebay*
my watched list is growing by the minute!

 

[Whiskerz16v]

is £30 about right for a replacement K&N panel filter?
found it on Euro Car Parts.. ebay was about £40

EDIT: my lights are the so called "twin headlight" version?

 

[theduck]

yeh, i wouldnt bother though tbh. Just get a new paper filter for under a tenner if you need one. Aftermarket washable panel filters are only worth bothering with if you intend to keep the car long enough to have spent more on paper filters then you would on the washable one.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

fair enough, i just liked the induction noise i got off the saxo with an open cone filter... i just canny see how one of them would work on this though =/

im on the search for a colour coded spoiler now tae
