Dual optic headlights are needed pronto!

Looks good otherwise

 

[AJ02]

Can't decide whether I preferred it with the black fog surrounds or as it is now, I'm nit-picking really on what is an otherwise fantastic example.

+1 for the dual optics.

 

[JakeJ]

+2 for the dual optics. splitter needed to

haha dual optics will be on soon. also I have a splitter, just couldnt decide to put it on or not :/

 

[laberridge]

well i did some gambling and won myself £500 so gonna spend this wisely. just bought all the paint to finish off the sideskirts, and clips will be coming soon to attach, hopefully get hold of some dual optics, and a bmc filter. so should be done by this weekend

 

[laberridge]

Well slight delay, but the sideskirt clips have a arrived, so gonna have a start with riveting them on over this weekend

 

[Knuckles]

awesome progress! this will always remind me of a panda though

what spoiler are you putting on it?

 

[laberridge]

One of the skirts fitted. My rivet gun decided to break to so need to purchase another, good job i finished this side first. Colour looks off as car hasbt been washed in a feew week lol. pic:

Loving the work on this, think a set of 172 f1's would look great along with some dual optics.

It's really wierd as I was looking at the one that appears in the cliosport banner and thinking I'd love to do that to a white clio then I saw this. Good work!

Yeah think im going to get a new set of wheels eventually, just picked these 4 up for £90 so couldnt say no. Beter than the trims before lol.
Haha Yeah not long after starting this project i noticed that, the silver alloys give it that awesome look.

Dont forget your insurance will be void unless you declare the parts added....you might end up paying 172 insurance..............ouch

When I told them I put bumpers from a different Clio on mine, they put it through as body coloured bumpers... £34 for bumpers and coilovers :approve:

there from another clio, so your insurance premiums arn't paying out for aftermarket crap. They rarely go up, or by a great deal.

 

[metalhead172]

Fair play thats good

i thought insurance companies where W**KERS when it came to replicas

 

[laberridge]

just a new pic after a clean

 

[AllanHardie]

coilovers, Ph2 boot, Ph2 lights and a cup spoiler next then it will be epic.

 

[dalejenga]

is that a ph2 bumper mate? was it easy to fit?

 

[laberridge]

yes it is mate, and straight swap, some of the fixing points are different but still straight swap as such.

 

[King-cam]

Looking good! just needs to go low

 

[laberridge]

so here we have the finished product . . . . . . . . (photoshopped)

 

[twiztid]

Looks brilliant

 

[h4ml3t]

What happening with the mirror?

 

[LiamR172]

I remember looking at this when you started. cant believe how good its looking now.

Well done matey. needs a set of OZ's though... would finish it nicely!

yeah not a big fan of the alloys anymore, might trade someone eventually.

Ordered 5SMD T10 bulbs for my sidelights in white, but as these didnt turn up got given 28SMD bulbs which are pritty awesome, just a comparison fron standard sidelight to these new beasts. the light is white, but the camra picks it up blue for some reason.

With the rainbow bulbs ive got in, they look quite good together i think.

 

[laberridge]

Thinking of going for a euro look to be honest, soo as i get my coilovers ordered

tad bit wide though you think?

 

[AllanHardie]

10j?! low ET, run 195 45 15 tyres , also you will need to roll your arches, and possibly flare them to fit your wheels if you keep them on it.

 

[Kieran..]

you got no chance of getting them in the arches!

 

[laberridge]

just a small update, got myself some aero wipers. took some time to figuire out how they fitted but got there in the end.

 

[h4ml3t]

Amatuer

 

[King-cam]

good build

 

[laberridge]

purchased and fitted a big bore backbox and center section. cant really say im a big fan of the noise, might swap back to standard till i get something different.

 

[laberridge]

 

[ollycuff]
