My mk3 euro project

[garratt90]

Very nice, i am liking the strips removed at the back! how much would that cost to get done? any idea?

 

[BioHzrd]

that looks stunning...how much would a body shop charge to do that ?

Around £250-300 depending on where you go and their standard of work.

They are clipped on.

take it you have to get round the back of them to unclip them ??

You can try to take of from the front but it is much easier if you take the bumper of which would reduce the chance of any damage. There is 1 bolt behind the mud guard, a couple under the bumper, plastic rubber stopper thing when you open the boot twists of and you need to remove the rear lights. Thats about it if im correct.

I know i should wait till the bumper is painted and on the car but what the hell...

Before

After

Who needs fogs?

You are a talented man by the way. Car is looking awesome.

I think it will look strange without the diamond, almost too smooth.

 

[vinvin]

yea too much without the diamond, theres only so much you can do in the line of smoothing without making a mess of smoothin, car looks ace mate.

im glad your doing nothing more with the rear bumper, i hate seeing cars with extended bumpers yea its different but jesus it looks nasty. when i get all the proper funds im hoping to get things sorted in the lines of wheels n coil's n codeing n a full Red leather retrim including roof n laminet in the boot im sure 99% of people will hate the laminet idea but im sure it will look good

hmmm i wouldn't say im completed with the rear bumper, lets just say when i put my private plate on i may make a few adjustments i've got a few more things that are higher up on the list but i will come back to the rear bumper.

Is that a 197 bumper wouldn't that be too big and out of proportion? I was thinking of getting one for my mk3 but thought maybe too out of place? Interesting to see how it looks.

197 bumper is much wider, needs to be modified quite a bit to fit. Im pulling my arches out so it should look good, made a massive difference to the front end imo

 

[BioHzrd]

Im considering the 197 Front but the only down side is id have to get the Winds and skirts to for it to work as a Shop would charge a hell of a lot to modifie it to fit :/ your lucky with the line of work your in mate....


Looks good looking forward to seeing it at the weekend

 

[theduck]

is gonna look mint!

 

[snick01]

you gonna get 197 wings or modify them to fit propperly?

 

[daydotz]

Im going to be using the original grill at the moment as i haven't got much time before the show.

Going to modify the original wings so the front bumper sits flush with the arch.

A few pics of my car from fcs,

 

[willynwilson]

god i love the rear bumper with the bump strips taken out, wish i could do that

 

[Spark]

mate the stance from the rear is actually soooo sexy

 

[Craigie-B15]

thats awsome

euro looks really good on mk3, im guessing in the photo of you smoothing your rear bumper that other clio was your brothers (which also looks the business)

Edit: I thought you smoothed out the fogs? on the FCS photo's you have them back?

 

[Renault_Boy01]

the smoothed fogs are on the 197 bumper he hasnt fitted yet

I haven't finished the 197 bumper. i wanted to get it ready for fcs but had my hands tied with my brothers car. I still have a few more mods to do, all in good time.

 

[VeinAST]

Well done so far

 

[Alastair.]

[$torm Rider]

A few pics of my new front end, i need to get hold of the top 197 grills. I will try take some more pictures.

 

[Leeshez]

Nice

 

[Nafoff]

very very nice, good work on the bumper

there is a good movement in the club at the moment, lots of variety and all being done properly / tastefully

 

[$torm Rider]

The club is looking to get bigger and better. The level of cars at the moment are very high, i think around six months time the number will double

 

[J03]

love it, its looking very ncie now with the bumper on

 

[clio_luke]

saw this at fcs. it looked great!

 

[Mikey197]

IS that a custom set of arches on the front then or you just bolt on some?

 

[Ben.]

im loving yours and rage's clios atm

 

[oz_clio]
