New Clio Turbo

[arg_carra]

Finally took the plunge and sold the Campus after 3 years and trouble free 42k. Hated handing over the keys but extremely pleased with my new purchase

2010 mk3 Clio 1.2 Turbo Dynamique Tom Tom in Oyster Grey

I need adeas on what to do modding wise, been used to mk2s for such a long time

Let me know what you think, but not managed to get decent pictures because of this crap weather.

Cheers

Al

Personally I would leave it standard. Predictable response for sure, but it already looks really nice, and I love the colour. Maybe some different wheels and a tad lower if you must modify.

 

[Matt W]

Tidy.
Out of interest why did you go for this over a 197/200?

Insurance really, i'm only 20 plus I do a fair annual mileage so fuel costs would be higher, but really dont want a diesel. You get a fair wee kick out the turbo IMO, and its a lot more refined and torquey compared to the 1.2 16v 75

 

[Wests Renault]

looks good, only thing I would do is lower/wheels. looks good standard

 

[cander08]

just lower it n get the wheels done black or anthracite , not any point on engine mods

 

[Cliotoby]

Remap, lower& spacers - done. Bear in mind that the MK3 is quite low as it is (hard to believe) so wait till this weather clears. Ive got my GT on coilovers and ive been grounded on my chassis several times where tracks have been created in the road, but the snow in the middle remains untouched. Nice colour. Sensible car. How old are you out of interest?

 

[jenic]

What can a remap get out of these?

 

[arg_carra]

I'm 20
Can be remapped to the same power as the 1.6 133 Twingo lump i believe

My sister got one of these last week. She went for the diesel though 1.5 dci. Brilliant little cars, wouldn't mind one over the 200 as the 200 will kill me on fuel.

The biggest insult...she's 22 and the insurance was only £275 for the year.


1 Jus seen your location, what dealer did you get it from?

2 infact just figured out who you are LOL.

 

[arg_carra]

Yeahh I looked at a diesel but they were £1000 premium without the cruise control and sat nav so i couldnt justify it. Was impressed with the diesel on test drive though

dont you dare!!!

 

[Cliotoby]

Sorry i should have read your previous post. I get a lot of the why didnt you buy a second hand 197 over the GT.

 

[SteveS Cup]

I'd try to leave it std, tbh that's not the sort of car that in resale terms people are going to be interested in mods so suspension / wheels... Make sure you keep the std bits to return to std when it's time to sell!!

Try to get a set of Speedlines from a 197/200.

Hey Al

Lows, black wheels, spacers, map it, DONE

Rofl at Adam

 

[Curley]

I would lower then leave.

 

[DrR]

Im very impressed with how that looks, most none RS clios look dyer, but looks spot on.

 

[Leeshez]

Looks good to me. I would leave it. What do i know? Im old. If i got a 1.5DCI like Halfrauds sister. It wost cost next to nothing to insure. If it so cheap for her to do.

Just realised its the 1.5dci tomtom one she has. Cruise/limiter and all the extra bits they have.

Sidestrips colour coded, silvertec indicator bulbs, eibach -30mm lowering springs and remove the Clio badge. Only mods you should do

A lot of companies say different things about the remap on the TCE engine. None of them can really confirm it's safe. The eibach springs are really good, and lower it to a sensible height. There is also no compromise with the ride comfort.

 

[PaulBag]

Really like that colour. Enjoy..

I say Stance it and a nice set of dished wheels. 16s/17s dependin on how low you want

 

[mat-nos]

lower, spacers, remap and panel filter and exhaust are the only worthwhile mods for a tce....
nice colour by the way

 

[daydotz]

very nice in oyster

 

[arg_carra]

Cheers all,

30mm springs sound tempting......got silvatec bulbs to go in and tbh coming from Arnold Clark, it needs a good expensive manly detail.

Oh and haiiiiii Fraser

 

[EllD90]

The Eibachs are great, you'll hardly notice a difference in the ride comfort. Handling is great with them too.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Very nice mate

As above all i would want would be some coilovers, spacers and colour coding
Might be tempted by some very flashy wheels if i had the extra cash

Imo dump valve could be quite funny on the 1.2 would never be cool though

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Loved both sets of eibachs i have had quality and comfort were spot on

 

[Crippin]

I have this car in black. I presume it is the 1.2 turbo.
Mines the worldseries edition and i've lowered mine 45mm and got a custom made exhaust put on mine. And how do you get your images to come on without being a url address.

 

[TimR26]

That colour is nice!

 

[arg_carra]

Must say I am pleased with the colour.
See if I were to buy springs, would it affect the warranty on the whole car, or just the suspension bit...then again i'd imagine most of the suspension bits would be wear and tear anyway
