New Clio Owner Help

[ryanu01]

I have just purchased a Mk3 Clio Expression 1.2 3dr in silver completely standard. Looking for some ideas as to what i can d with it?

Just owned a corsa c and fancied a change.

Couple of ideas, lowered - debadge - new wheels - colour code. Anything else?

Good move from the Corsa IMO.

-CS membership
-lower
-remove ''C L I O'' badge
-looks for Mk3 RS bits to upgrade
-enjoy, and dont plough too much money into it

Got sick of the corsa, spent far too much on repairs haha.

What sort of RS bits to look for? Also is it okay to debadge the CLIO signs no holes or that?

I agree with aucky.

Don't be spending ££££ trying to get power out of it, just do some subtle styling mods to make folk look twice.

Welcome to CS!

Exactly, just think about what you'd like to own in 1-3 years time.

Every pound spent on this car is a pound less you have to updgrade. But for the the people like me, you cant leave it alone so try and find a balance between you're contentedness and conservative spending.

The "Clio" badge has two holes behind it so leave that well alone unless you have a badge to put in it's place that you know will cover them.

On an MK3?

There are NO HOLES behind the C L I O badge on a MK3. Well not on a 197/200 anyway and I can't see why the 1.2 would be any different.

I cant just leave it standard haha was forever doing little bits here and there with last car.

If there is any holes i would just fill them and have them painted over by a body shop

1.2s are the same, I used to have one and there are NO holes.

Plans sound good, welcome to CS
