the sub was cut perfect to fit rite in the clio where it has a rise in the boot cut a bit out fits in perfect and goes over the hook in my boot :)

but yea, that was then all wired up and put in the car, every thing came out so i could rout the wires, and now there invisable!!!

next day i decided to pop down my local car centre and see what door speakers they had in :) and i got lucky :)

clioproject050.webp






well thats it up untill this date more in a few days :)
 
cool project - quite a list youve got there! - will be very inteersted to see what it looks like wehn its done
 
i used to drive an expression, sooo much better than the dynamique, ended up stripping it out for the space of 2 weeks befroe i got sick of the road noise but i had some reet fun with it round the roads near me.

As for the filter, get a pannel filter, a k n N if you can, wont be noisy but it frees the engine up slightly. VERY slightly.
 
full car pics required, good work though! bth that shitspeed headunit be give u endless trouble in the future
 
i know moneys tight though really couldnt afford any thing else, full pics tomo when i get the grill back on and wingmirrors and other
 
I secretly like McFly........ and i forgot to buy the paper the other day :(

Oh, speakers looking good
 
nice little project matey, are those speakers coaxials? and have you connected them to the amp?
 
yea well the bill was on, i cant do all that stuff and get it lookin good i tried one and made a big mess,

the speakers are not conneted to a amp should they be? im quite new to all tis audio stuff ?

grill looks good you should get some fog lamps in there it makes it look better but you dont even have to wire them in if you dont want to
 
Looks really smart! I'll be trying to achieve a similar sort of thing with my 1.2...

All though there is no way I'd make my own sub box, would take my cack-handed self all day to get it right. Yours looks really good though. :(

RS Grill makes so much difference, looks a million times better than standard. What is this discount you speak of :o, I could do with a bit of that... So your getting all the 172 bits new? Rather than a breakers yard?
 
cheers lads, yea i got a good discont through renault :P the sub box was easy, started of with a box then cut it to the shape of the car,

fog lights are trying ot be baught now, really hard to find
 
Nice one on the grille ;)

With the fogs, you should wire them up seperately to a switch on the dash if you can rather than fiddling about with the loom unless the wiring's already there. :) Just a recommendation though
 
yea was goign ot do that, but anyway
pissed off

jsut got my wingmirrors covers back one is perfect looks brill, one if fuked, paint, and tissuw paper stuck to it, so thats set my car meet back :( grrr

pics up sooon
 
rite well hears the wingmirror covers look good from a distance :) but close up the left is rough, so need to get it done again :(

im subscribing now! instant email notification!

looks good though the sub box looks well good you done a good job on making it fit perfect.
 
when you get round to sorting everything we should go for a cruise :approve:
 
looking good, would befit from dynamique or sport interior though as the expression one is poor imo.

Mistake number one though - Posting a pic of your gf on here, endless amount of ramarks to come.
 
haha i know been getting a few comments about her, im not fussed though share and share alike :P

yea interior will be one of the last things, cant afford it.
 
new door handles came today thanks to some good members :)
