My Mk3 Progress Thread



Nice little project there bud :) I can't believe how much better it looks lowered, it looks really nice:cool:

One thing, you considering getting a boot spoiler for it ?
 
  Renaultsport Clio 197
great looking car, think it's even lower then my rs :dapprove: :D

where'd you get the yozza sticker from ?
and also, is it hard to remove the standard airbox (is it similar to one in 197) and put the BMC in?

and I wonder how a black "circle" around those alloys would look? :cool:

Hope you know what I mean, like the red one on bikes, just in black :)

Cheers Mate, Yeah i am considering it but im still unsure atm kinda like it the way it is.

Got handed it when i was at FCS mate, Its a bit of a job getting the air box out as youve got to take the battery and tray out to make it easy or you could do what i seen someone on here do and take a Hammer to it lol.....Its the exact same as the one in the 197 aswell.

As for the wheel the black circle round it wouldent be much good after next week ;)

Spot The Diffrence !!

Enjoy......
 
  Turbos.
I like it how it is at the moment, i wouldn't mess with the OEM wheels.

As Cat says a spoiler might look ok. The optional Sports spoiler looks far more tasteful than the Cup racer style spoiler.

That looks real nice dude IMO - great job :) Does it struggle for clearence at all or anything? I was of the impression that the sump or the exhaust or something was quite low on the Clio3 already and you have to look out for it when lowering. Is that true or ballcocks?

Na it is tru mate its the Center Cat that gets me and i think thats what whoever was telling you was on about also catch the sills or at leasts thats what i think it is on the edge of speed bumps when i try to go one sided have to go right over the center if its a split pair if its a single one i try avoid them. its really just on the speed bumps im fine getting in and out of Multi Storys.

Cheers for the comments appreciated.

Another rear bumper for some personal touches....might be done before the glasgow meet but dont think it will...
 
  A Euro'd one...
I like what you've done with the vents, i have been planning to colour code mine for ages. Are they a head ache to get of? theres only one guess to what your doing to the rear if im correct ;) it will make a massive difference.
 
  White Sti Hatch
Na there not that hard to get out mate willynwilson told me how to do ithe also wrote up guide (Here) Its a 5 mins job to get them off make a big diffrence to the interior just need to get the handbreak and Gearstick done and thatll do me as taking the dash off to do the dials is way to much effort lol !

Yeah your guess would be right mate hopefully have it done in the next few weeks money permiting as insurance is due :(
