My new Clio 182

[R80HXX]

Hey Guys, here is a few pics of my new 182 sport, let me know what uz think!

Done a few wee mods but still to put my new plates on etc

 

[Fletcher]

Not keen on the rear lights and black Renault Sport badges. But apart from that it looks great.

 

[Matt_Clio172]

100% Agree with Fletch. You may aswell of debadged it rather than do that. Suppose you can buy some more of Renault

 

[Rob's172]

lights are ok, looks good, i'd say it would ace if you lower it a bit

 

[GarethM]

nice
apart from the lights and badges

 

[R80HXX]

My boyfriend is a painter he done them for me yesterday cos i wanted to keep the badges but not have them to obvious and i love the lights each to their own an all that, i wanna lower it too just need to wait for the wages lol!

 

[rich19]

liking it mate looking rather stealthy, as said drop a few mill and would look spot on

 

[foxon]

i like!!

r the lights legal?

 

[R80HXX]

yea you can still see the light through them, loads of folk seem to be painting standard lights these days instead of buying tinted ones lol!

 

[cat171]

I'm not keen on the rear end of it, look much black on the go. I don't like the number plates either.

 

[R80HXX]

as i said number plates still to be changed to french style ones but they still in the post just put my private plate on so had to use old ones

 

[Alan]

Tidy...

Where was the car bought?

I'm from Blantyre and might know the car..might even be my old one..

What was the original plate??

 

[Jay_clio]

wouldnt it have been better/easier just to debadge it?

 

[Martin_172]

lights will be illegal coz u cant see reflectors surely?

badges dont look great but might just be the camera quality.

FYI - French plates are illegal & the police are coming down on them.

My last car had same past MOTS no problem and had been stopped by police a few times an never had any bother!

 

[Alan]

To be honest the cops round this way are pretty lax so i wouldn't worry too much about the plates..

Just pointing out thats all, type approved requires reflectors by law, you were lucky with the MOTs and the police. Just be careful of insurance company reaming you as a get out clause , eg a motorbike runs into the back of your car when your parked up at night, all he/she has to say is they could'nt see you reflectors DEEP SHI-T with your insurance company they will drop you like a stone. simple mod can turn into a lot of cost to you

 

[imperial04]

Paint the wheels white! be the only person on here to do it

 

[R80HXX]

to be honest i love the wheel s the colour they are that was one things that first attracted me to the car lol!

as i said had them on previous car for years and police never said a word bout them and left it out in the street people could still see there was a car parked never hads anyone run into it so dont think it will be a problem for me

thanks for your opinion though

 

[CupWhite]

as for the badges i was goin to debadge it but the clio badge leaves holes and dont have time to get them welded up just now plus i still wanted folk to know it a Sport and not a fake lol

 

[Timmay]

nice car matey

 

[Leeshez]

Nice.

 

[polarbert]

What is R80 HXX supposed to mean? Looks good; the car that is.

 

[bampot]

could try painting the badges same colour as the wheels, that way you still keep them but wont be as obvious as standard and not as unnoticeable as black? do the side badges aswell if you do that.

 

[182 clio racer]

The rear lights may work with a bit of window tinting. Would look mean then

 

[Ali]

Rank.

 

[Ja5on]

Yeah, you could have cut my eyelids off and made me stare at the plate for five years and I'd have never guessed what it meant. You could have shouted it to my face and I wouldn't have seen the connection.

At least you've got Scotlands brilliant driving roads though eh?
