Looking good, but no no no at the fog lights.

looks like you require new rear exhaust hangers

 

[SneakyRussian]

Haha you got the decals exactly at the same spot as me ) Thought it was pictures of my clio for a moment than i realised my alloys are of slightly darker colour and you live up north

Welcome to the forum

 

[ipswichclio]

Good looker, any plans ?

 

[BenadetH]

Welcome mate. Nice looking example there!

 

[Ste King 182]

Yeh got a few plans, ive carbon wrapped the front and back badges today ( i will post pics up soon ) and my future plans are along the lines of ;

- cat back ss exhaust system
- new alloys ?? if so what alloys u think?
- coilovers
- smooth front bumper where number plate is and move plate to dash board :rasp:

any other ideas would be great !

 

[SneakyRussian]

I personally think that those are one of the best looking standard alloys i have ever seen. At night mine look 1each bigger for sure.


About the plate.. good idea. Although i would rather move the plate lower like on a lotus

p.s cat back system is a must really... that exhaust system will fall apart quickly.. i wasted money on it already.. and regret it cos its falling apart again, as soon as i have some money i am gonna get myself H&S custom system... but most would recommend yozzas and earplugs

Any questions, search is your friend trust!

DONT smooth the front plate fit a 3/4 plt in recess :approve:

Nice car mate would keep the wheels too TBH look good on std rims with coilovers !

just had a look yeh the left one as u look at it dont look quite rite lol cheers mate !!

 

[Ste King 182]

 

[SneakyRussian]

Good job! Although i personally liked the shiny thingys) Still looks cool and tidy

 

[Ste King 182]

cheers, i wernt a big fan of the shiny badges so it had to go carbon lol, got a lot of it left and wondering wat elce to do exhaust surrounds, black bit on rear bumper, silver trim on dash? dont want it to be ott though.

 

[SneakyRussian]

another imo on shiny crap... silver trim on dash lights up a bit the interior in a silver clio... haha

Dont listen to me bud.. i just like the car the way it looks. Apart from the badges at the back which i will take off and try new style badges. Or leave it debadged all together.

Just seen that Sport sign on a punto the other day.. pissed me right off

 

[Ste King 182]

lolol i know yeh its like hmm.... btw ide watch cuz ive just de badged mine and the renault sport comes off fine but the clio badge is bolted thru ya boot lid with 2 bolt things n last time i did that with me old car i ended up with 2 holes in me boot lid . not a good look.

 

[Cerrone]

Have u wrapped before? Looks like avoid tidy job mate!

 

[Ste King 182]

nah never dun it watch a thing on you tube on how to do it and thn did it lol turned out better than i thought.

 

[LovelyDaiSy]

Nice looking motor mate, tidy. Was thinking of taking the same approach with my diamonds. Oh, and +1 to davo's comment on the plate, 3/4 all the way!

 

[Ste King 182]

cheers, yeh carbon wrapin the diamonds is quite easy to b honest n i think looks alot better. where could i find a 3/4 plate from?

 

[SneakyRussian]

lolol i know yeh its like hmm.... btw ide watch cuz ive just de badged mine and the renault sport comes off fine but the clio badge is bolted thru ya boot lid with 2 bolt things n last time i did that with me old car i ended up with 2 holes in me boot lid . not a good look.

Hmm what about sticking a new style badge over the holes? Or it wont fit? say badge from 197?
