My MK3 Clio

[Chris_MK3]

My progress thread;
Share your opinions and all that!

Thanks guys, hope you like it.

When I first got her;

My first mod was a sub in the boot, changed my front speakers too.

tinties and wind deflectors

Started to cover my boot a litte;

Then alot;

A few months later I woke up and took the heaters to the back and took em all over except the petrol cap one;

Changed my bulbs to superwhite;

Did some minor details too;

Interior and boot light to blue and sticker bombed the parts that i could.

Sticker bombed what I could too;

Got some dish for her;

Dropped her 35mm too. I still think it isn't enough.

Wanted a referb on the alloys as they were a little curbed and the paint was cracked;

The last two decals and what she looks like currently.

I've changed the interior trim, grabbed some off a breaking clio;

Little changes, antenna;

Got some AP coilovers fitted to her; it filled the arches out and shes sitting pretty;

clayed, polished and waxed.

Really not keen on the stickers and the silver wheels looked better, as black just hides the design of the wheel.
IMO it needs silvervision indicator bulbs, bump strips colour coding and the rear debadging.

Thank god you took those stickers off! .....

Not a fan of the alloys personally but other than that - I like!

Seen this driving about.. wondered if you was on cliosport.net. I have the black MK3 5 door...

I really like, better without the sticker's, but each to there own. Wheels look good.

If your up the seafront on sunday, i normally am, stop and say hi. Cheers Craig

Cheers, I wouldnt mind some 16'' would give me more ground clearance rather than scraping my cat' along the ramps of multi stories.

thanks, I did pull all the stickers off, inc the interior. I'm tempted to debadge it at some point too, the whole lot and smooth it other and respray.
Ordering some silvervision bulbs as we speak, cheers for that!

 

[Owen92]

On my silver mk3, I only took the Clio badge off and it looked a million times better. Saves smoothing and respraying too.

 

[MatthewVVT]

Very nice, looks much better the way it sits now though!

Only thing I dislike is the "mouth", it's massive!

How did you do the blue lighting on the inside? Sorry for being a noob.

LEDs. You need the 501 type (same as sidelights). Tonnes on eBay. 3 in the interior light in the roof, 1 in glovebox, and 1 in the boot.

The rear number plate light is the same, but you'd need white for that.

Lol do something different with it, take the badge off, spray the letters and diamons a certain colour and get it back on....could look really cool....could be a pain in the ar$e.....would like to see it though.

 

[Chris_MK3]

got some renault car mats arrive today for me. genuine stuff and it was pretty cheap too, cause my drivers one is ripped and the dirt wont wash out

just waiting on the silvervisons x2 for front and the backs..

hopefully if the rain holds off ill clean down the car and polish her up and post some pics.

8j...............fook me..............

 

[Chris_MK3]

No spacers needed here...

I've replaced the front indicators then started doing the rears. On the last bulb the grooves in the last screw are kinda fooked so I couldn't do it. Any ideas how to get this screw out?
cheers, chris.

 

[GoPlay]

2 ways... drill it with smal size gimlet or you can take pliers and squeez it realy hard and unscrew it

Yeah i know......... my bad..... should just pop out tho?

 

[Chris_MK3]

Yeah i know......... my bad..... should just pop out tho?

you can't get to it from the boot mate. So I'll leave it for the body shop when I get any spare days off work. They'll need It for three days to do the other dent so I need a block off. I really wanted it done before July...

 

[Chris_MK3]

Just some subtle stuff.

 

[Chris_MK3]

Some beading of the car

 

[Chris_MK3]

Oh and no more dent on near side ;D got it done @ CSS.. Looks perfect.

 

[Chris_MK3]

So I got some yellow Fog light bulbs and fitted them:

But then i got some yellow film and covered my fogs in that too.. = double yellow. Will post pics later but it does look pretty nice IMO


Also clayed, polished, waxed, today in prep for FCS ;D

 

[Emblem]

 

[Chris_MK3]

Just a few coats of wax in the upcoming weeks when I'm off Craig

 

[Chris_MK3]

 

[Chris_MK3]

Firstly, I got my dent pushed and hammered and all perfect @ CSS. They did a pretty good job, you can't even see it.

Went to a scrappers for some parts and came out with a spare wheel holder (mine fell off at some point) and also a three way light.

Then the yellow h11's were put in place, and also I was just waiting to clean my car to then apply the yellow tinting film.

So this is what my car looks like today, I was washed, clayed, polished and waxed two days ago. Plus I'm at work, and its going to be 22 degrees.

 

[llgsimpson]

[Chris_MK3]
