This is my lovely Billabong. As we speak front and rear bumpers and sideskirts are being painted. Could do with a little wash though! Anyone else in Leeds?

Just a warning - you will probably get some "constructive criticism" about the lexus style lights!

Each to their own, but i think it looks awful. The exhaust is terrible and the lights suck camel ass.
what exactly looks awful. what you have to bear in mind here is that there is still the bumper to go on the back which will mean that the exhaust wont look so damn low! i think maybe you should think about you posts before you start typing. The exhust is a renault fit and to be honest it makes a bloody change from all of the other clios that look EXACTLY the same. I got clear lights and NOT lexus lights for a good reason as well, EVERYONE HAS BLOODY LEXUS LIGHTS!!!!!!!!
WOULD ALSO LOOK GOOD BUT I AM GOING FOR THE MAJOR CONTRAST LOOK! CHROME ALLOYS CHROME MESH IN THE 182 FRONT BUMPER. NOT TOO MUCH THOUGH OTHER WISE IT WILL LOOK CRAP. JUST TRYING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH MY BABY, DONT WANT IT TO LOOK THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHER CLIOS BUT ALSO DONT WANT TO LOOK OVER THE TOP IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Matey dont take peoples replies too badly, its YOUR car so you make it the way you want it to be because you like it that way, if others dont like it thats their opinion.
Sebring exhaust then, is it cat back or just a rear box?
megane coupe F7R
Get the light on ebay. Other than that it looks good

sorry, you may like it, i dont
contrast from the lights and the bodywork does not work, exhaust looks aftermarket with no balls, currently seems to sit higher than a baby in a very high high chair
OE lights, lowered, colour coding and full stainless system is all that is required to make a base spec clio look good
IMHO by having such a contrast the car will look ridiculous

Billabong
Such a ridiculous name.
Im at a loss as to why this thread is called My Lovely Billabong
Looks like every other 1.2 I see with the inevitable Lexus style lights.
(I see jamieswales has changed his name and avatar anyway. Maybe hes 19 now.)
ex Clio 172 owner :(
Mate I aint being funny but if you really want to make your car badass (which quite frankly is nigh on impossible in any small hatchback especially one with a girls name
) then lower it, alloy it, decent exhaust and on a black car Id have smoked lights. There endeth.
(actually jamie has started a new id)
ex Clio 172 owner :(
OOh get you. Touchy.
I appreciate it is yours. That part was a wind up mate.
Lexus lights you will find now tends to be a generic term for all clear lights fitted to cars.
I aint ripping into the Billabong name as such, I just think its daft. Remember the Clio used to do a 1.2 BeBop. Why such daft names?
As for the Saxo comment, yeah you stick to your tarted up 1.2, Ill drive one of the greatest hot hatches ever made.
ex Clio 172 owner :(
I got rid of my 1.4 Clio two years ago. I just dont feel the need to change my name.
lol jealous yeah ok. Im jealous of those who can afford a Trophy. Not a Billabonk.

i understand it was just a wind up afterall we are only having a laugh, but ONE OF THE GREATEST HOT HATCHES EVER MADE, there is a reason why the maker has a nickname of sh*tron in car garages up and down the country.
Eh mate......he has a VTS....130BHP IIRC.
Stop with the bitchy comments like i said before.
I also have a 1.2 16v dynamique/billabong, but i havent done anything silly to it (pics in media) theres a lot of really smart dynamiques on here, so chill out with all the drama and as i said people have opinions that YOU may not agree with but thats their opinion. But please stop goin on like yours is the best thing since sliced bread, i was nice about your car earlier but if your going to start being a little b**ch about others i wont be so nice in future.

sadly DJTimP the saxo is a far better car than it has ever been given credit, yes you have chavs that destroy the cars image, as does the clio, then again, as does every manufacturer
the saxo is one of the best hatches of the last 10 years comfortably, and only the top spec clios give them a run
for a 120bhp go-kart you cannot go wrong with a VTS
