renault clio 1.2 mk3
hi this is the first car ive started to modify but it is my second after i had a write off in a corsa thanks to a bad dip and a stupid driver! i got the clio in august and found that they were easy to make them good looking!
This is my car when i first got it
the first thing i did with her was replace the standard radio with a sony CD player.
i wanted to get all electrical side sorted so i purchased:
I started with Team HEKO wind deflectors and a shark fin Ariel. once these items was on i decided to save up for some new wheels as the ones i had was too small for me haha!
i choose Calibre 17" matte black multi spokes! i have replaced the centre caps with black and silver Renault 60mm caps!
Wheels getting put on!
everything so far!
Whilst i was saving up more funds for further mods to the car, a brick got thrown at the back window of the car whilst i was on my way back from work! (little bast*rds probably!) it lent a couple of really big dints and had scuffed the window! so i thought if im going to get that resprayed and repaired it would be a good chance to get my spoiler sprayed and fitted!
spoiler before fitting!
after i saved up ednough money i gave my car up for 3 days to my mate to do his magic!
he came back with this after he filled all the back panel and resprayed and fitted the spoiler
The next thing to do was de wiper the back, and people were using rubber gromets! but my friend who works at b and q told me a better soloution! im not sure what its called but its a chrome plug which goes on a kitchen sink but where the tray is at the side!
i was going to scratch it down and spray it black but i like it in chrome!
Thats it so far! but for futre modifications i am going with:
okay thats it for now! comments on how i could improve it would be appreciated!

- LED Registration lights
- Blue xenon sidelights

- 40mm apex lowering springs
- limo tint for the back three windows
- clio mk3 197 front grill

I just wanted to add that I'd recommend you get the 45mm H&R springs over the apex ones. I had 35mm apex springs on my mk3 and the ride quality was pretty brutal ;-) The H&R springs have been night and day in comparison.
