My new beast

[Jordi17]

Hi guys, just back from picking up my first car, its a 2002 clio 1.2 expression, and i LOVE it really impressed with it. Its in great condition and will hopefully (if weather is nice) get a detail tomorrow. I just cant wait to drive it now, only another 7 weeks until im 17 anyway for the pics...

Drop it


then buy some "Chrome effect" indicator bulbs from ebay for like £5 or something
then you could try change the wheels and maybe colour code it, then leave it

Edit: And an RS grill from renault (£45 or something) front fogs wouldnt go amiss either.

my old one for some inspiration ;

RS Grill, Colour Code, Dynamique Colour Coded Spoiler, Clear Side Reps, Lower it on Springs and of course Silvatec Bulbs

 

[Jordi17]

im going to keep the wheels on as i like them Are the 16v badges on the doors replaceable, also thinking of spraying brake calipers silver

Fair play on the wheels, yes they are replaceable but dont go putting 2.0 16v ones on there you can buy pre painted silver 16v ones from ebay, silver calipers look good as long as you dont do the rear drum brakes silver.

Ebaaaayy

I dont know how to fit them though

ok mate, do you know how the 16v badges come off, and do they glue back on? No, i wont paint the rear drums silver, just the front two calipers.

as far as i know they just unclip,

Be carefull not to break the clips though

 

[christian rea]

i might have a dynamique spoiler for sale after fcs its in pearl black but you could get it sprayed id be asfter 30 posted


o andf your side repeaters should pull out if you pull hard enough

 

[BIFCAIDS]

looks good mate, would look good with a spoiler on and lowered abit and bulbs as said above really good luck with driving mate

 

[Jordi17]

thank you mate

 

[BIFCAIDS]

oh n dont be affraid of doing the car how you like

 

[ftbass2004]

Use a flathead screwdriver to take side repeaters off. You'll see theres space for it to fit in, then you just pop it out. but tape the screwdriver to save scratching the paint.
If you search you'll find more advice on it mate.

Car looks good too!

 

[christian rea]

oh n dont be affraid of doing the car how you like

yeah do as you please not as we say

 

[Jordi17]

oh n dont be affraid of doing the car how you like

no i wont mate, each to their own hey

 

[Phoenix]

nice car. a subtle drop of 60mm will suit that. some colour coding will be good to.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

oh n dont be affraid of doing the car how you like

no i wont mate, each to their own hey

very much so...

 

[Craigie-B15]

oh n dont be affraid of doing the car how you like

+1

as long as you like it thats all that matters do listen to the advice the guys on here have though mate they know what they are talking about

 

[BIFCAIDS]

yea but nothin about euro theres an elite few of us, :rasp: that know its more that just slamming a car

 

[AlexG]

just get subtle mods thats what its about i changed my repeaters the other day its well easy and make the car looks loads better.
imo just get 172 wheels and lower it.
then just stuff like clear side repeaters, dynamique spoiler and it will look a million times better

 

[Jordi17]

the wheels are staying on as they guy i bought it off just spent 500quid on new wheels and tyres, so they have full tread left on them, also i think they look awesome.

 

[Jordi17]

oh, when buying my car i asked my sisters boyfriend (who is a mechanic) how much to lower by, he said dont lower to much only 20-25mm, if not it would rub. I thought lots of you guys have lowered by 60 etc. My wheels are 15" btw...

 

[AlexG]

it wont rub i dont think people on here will tell you because they have actually done it! most people have 40mm some have more like 60 on coilovers. then the user f0xy is in a different league lol try and find his project thread because when i read it he must have lowered it about 10 different times down to 120mm lol

 

[Jordi17]

looking at my pics, what would you say is the perfect drop for it? 30mm?? dont want it too low.

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning.

 

[AlexG]

30mm is ok but it depends on what you think really
mines getting lowered 60mm next week
look through pictures of the clios on here and see how much they have been lowered by and then make your decision. thats the best way!

 

[Jordi17]

quick pic after me and my dad washed our motors. my clio, dads impreza...

 

[alex-avfc]

Get a pair of '16v' silver side badges off ebay theyre about £25 and a worthwhile accessory, make a nice diffrence

The old 1s just pull off, and the new ones clip str8 back on...I thort about using glue to stop the silver 1s being pinched but havent botherd

As someones already said, watch the clips, they snap quite easily

Good luck

 

[Scuba_Steve]

once she hits the dirt she will look nice good job thoo

 

[.GAZ.]

beast?

 

[DebV6]

Looks like a nice first car!

 

[REH17]

the side repeaters on my dyna have little holes underneath to get a small flat blade screw driver in, but as said before be careful not to crack them. . . i painted my calipers and drums, i think spraying them wud of caused alot of mess. . rs grille looks a million times better than standard, do it! have u encountered a leaking sunroof yet? mines pouring in as we speak, so down went the towel
