Re: My Renaultsport RB 200 Clio! (Updated Post #82)

Well rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd update this with some progress seeing as I've had the car a year and done 16k since buying!

There's been a few minor tweeks in various places, but I'll try to picture them since the start.

The first thing I did was upgrade the headlights to projector headlights with 6k HID's.

The car has been obsessively detailed since the start, and I managed 6th place in the Waxstock detailing competition last summer

Then came the Burpspeed Track day at Llandow, the car was amazing round there and I really need to get another day booked soon!

Next on the list was a new exhaust to add some life to the car. I went for the Ktec Performance Exhaust and panel filter, it's not chavvy at all and higher up the revs it sounds like hell has opened!

The video doesn't show it off very well but under load it sounds awesome.





The next change; a small one again.

Next, the car went in to get the lower front bumper vinyl'd

No real future plans other than a wheel refurb and to keep it clean for the show season!


​Thanks for looking.

 

[JoshOm3]

Very, very nice.

 

[Inequality Street]

Where did you source the headlights from if you dont mind me asking?

Looks perfect btw

 

[ado]

Why is there a better looking 200 in the background???? Yellow belts rules on RRb. Hehe

 

[Daniel]

Looks lovely. Can't believe you STILL have that red clio!!

 

[Jonnio]

Love that!

 

[Lal B3N]

Very nice!

 

[Matt26]

I love the black wheels with RB. This is the way I'd want to go if I get a 200 in the future.

 

[BREMBO]

Nice work getting 6th place, fairly impressive considering your track aswell

Great looking 200, not a fan of the spoiler though

 

[Maccy]

That looks awesome, part of me still wants a 200 so much!

 

[James28]

I never even noticed the black lip on the bottom of the bumper that you'd vinyl'd on!
Very nice.

 

[Chapppers11]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I picked them up from another member, they can be had from Renault, not cheap though. Best off PM'ing Wests Renault on here!

I don't think there is?

Haha, my brother drives it now.

I've spent enough on repairing the thing while I had it so would have been silly for him to buy another car that we don't know the history of!

 

[_RyanP_]

Bloody gorgeous!

 

[Chapppers11]

Thanks mate.

 

[rhno]

stunning i was after that colour but coulnt find one around my area so i got the other dark blue colour

 

[jesus]

Exhaust sounds good and I love that front end vinyl

 

[CrippsCorner]

I want to have sex with this car.

 

[MancmanRS200]

How much was it to do the vinyl fella on the front end i like it !

 

[Chapppers11]

Albi Blue? This was the first one I looked at tbh!

Thanks.

Haha! Thanks, there was programme about that kind of thing a few years ago.

It was £70 I think, I'd be more likely to have a go myself now though, the job they didn't won't last very long, it's already starting to peel at the edges!

 

[Ady182]

I don't think vinyl with that shape would last very long tbh, perhaps they used the wrong type of vinyl?

Car looks lovely though! Im torn about one of these or a 250 :S :S Decisions Decisions.

Possibly, but it is a vehicle wrapping company in Bristol, so you'd hope they used the right stuff!

Thanks, depends a lot on what you are after really! These Clio's are so good for the price.

I see the Megane as just that little bit more refined and mature, but you pay for it.

 

[Lawro]

Looks lovely as usual.. Sounds much better in the flesh though, seen you flying up the ring road a few times.

 

[Chapppers11]

Thanks mate, I'll keep an eye out for you along there.

 

[Lawro]

Thanks mate, I'll keep an eye out for you along there.

I am going to PM you soon anyway about having a corrective detail done on the 182.

 

[Chapppers11]

Just drop me a PM when you need me mate.

 

[Leeshez]

What an amazing shine for a 1995 car :rasp::clown::quiet:

 

[Chapppers11]

Haha

 

[Chapppers11]

Well, I've neglected my progress thread for around 8 months now, so will try to update this more often this year!

Nothing major has gone on with the car other than being used as a test bed for detailing products... But here's some recent photos anyway!
