[chrislloyd]

Hello All,

I have a MK2PH1 1998 CLIO!. At them moment it is dirty, ugly and needs changing. Many of you will say sell it and don't waste your money. But its only done 50k and really want to work on this one and get a sport later on in life!

Plans are:

Lowered 40mm

Colour Coded Bumpers, Door Handles, Side Strips Etc

Get rid of my chavvy lexus lights and put some mk2 ph2 ones on!

Give it a good clean inside and out!

[chrislloyd]

[chrislloyd]

Get a standard splitter as well. Makes a huge difference.

 

[chrislloyd]

I know this sounds dull but im a novice at cars...whats a splitter?

 

[Marky_]

The little bit of plastic/rubber at the bottom of the front bumper

 

[BIFCAIDS]

[chrislloyd]

Fitting my colour coded bumpers tonight...can't wait!

 

[GarethM]

not bad good start

not keen on the alloys myself, oz f1's or turinis would look better.

 

[chrislloyd]

[AlexG]

[chrislloyd]

[chrislloyd]

updated pics...the bumers look a little diffrent as the new bumpers have been machine polished. whole car is being proffesionaly machine polished in the next few weeks. comments please

 

[amitshah1990]

that looks awesome mate, completley transformed the look with the colour coded bumpers, i myself would of kept saving a bit more for different alloys. But they dont look bad. Maybe some subtle tints!?

 

[chrislloyd]

might be getting the ultraleggars that are for sale!

 

[chrislloyd]

comments and advice please people

 

[nozza89]

hi mate i have an almost identical car. (different rims). same rear lights and side repeaters, same colour, same ambitions for it lol. how much did you pay for your colour coding as i have not been able to afford it. what is your paint work in general like? i was going to start my project thread today but seem kinda pointless now lol

 

[clioandy105]

looks alot better, personally would fit a front splitter, lower it 60mm not 40mm as it will make it look that much nicer. Other than that it looks good, and maybe change the alloys at some point as im not a fan of them, but thats my personal choice.

[amitshah1990]

ultraleggeras would look good mate, what profile would these be? 16 inch!? or 15? i reckon a gloss black wheel refurb would be awesome, but then im biased

 

[Ian]

Glad you're getting it machine polished, will make such a difference. Looks extremely dated in the first set of pictures. I'd get some front fogs for it too, break up the front a bit.

I'm at a similar stage to you, which is why we keep bumping into each other on the For Sale threads I guess, lol. Will be getting some dual optic front headlamps and colour coded this year and got a set of 172 alloys in the garage for next year, as well as a set of springs or coilies and spacers.

 

[chrislloyd]

not entirely happy with the colour match, just hoping that the machine polishing will make it look the same. 40mm apex to go on friday. i got it colour coded for £120. that was a rate mate though...goona have a full respray on the outside i think as there a quite a few scratches. think i could get him to do it for £300 cash

It looks loads better already!

I'd see how it comes up after being machine polished first mate. You'd be surprised how much it can transform the paintwork. Could save yourself a lot of money/put it towards the dual optic headlights or something. You'll only end up regretting spending a lot on it in a year or two when you think that you could of been saving the money towards the sport that you want. Once you've got your springs on I wouldn't spend too much more on it really other than maintenance.
