new to the game... LYRS 200 - OEM

[johnbr6]

Yo guys and girls...

new to the game, I picked up the Clio from the dealership last wednesday.. over the moon with it

As it is my first new-ish car I feel there's nothing I need to do to it at the moment, i did a lot to my old car so it will take a while to get out of the modifying and tuning mindset... I think my favorite bit is it unlocks itself if you put your hand over the handle :rasp:

I only have a few plans for this, and there's no rush so i am not sure when ill get anything, nor do i know what order i'll get them...

Akrapovic exhaust
LED rear number plate lights
Spray brembo callipers gloss black and have R.S in anthecerite (can't spell ha)
Recaro's
Brembo drilled and grooved discs front and rear
Pioneer speakers and slimline sub-woofers
Black roof lining (did they do black roof lining from factory?)
Black C pillars (were they an optional extra/ factory available?)

That's about it! I want to lower it and stuff but I actually don't wanna touch the suspension at all... I love everything exactly how it is.

Thanks for reading
John

Look's awesome dude, regard's to the suspension what about putting the Cup suspension on ? think it lowers it a few mm's

Looks very nice. Quite rare to see a LY one with the silver wheels, let alone the optional sunroof!

 

[Iain C]

Very nice. Id probably do the wheels black tho

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks well that, liking the sun roof

 

[Yellow Dave]

Oddly, those wheels in silver works really well

 

[johnbr6]

Thanks guys Dave I agree and sadly I don't want to put black wheels on it so they will be kept silver.

I have a RS steering wheel trim on it's way as of today. first little improvement

 

[johnbr6]

So the first addition arrived the other day, along with an AUX cable... but that doesn't really need a picture.

RS steering wheel trim. Looks so much better and brings out the concave-ness to the wheel.

As I was fitting that, I realized the scratch on the airbag part of the steering wheel. Bugs the crapoly outa me now lol.

And then today, I made myself get up and detail the car. But I only managed to clay and polish the front. I didn't even get a good picture :/

I want to get another steering wheel, and get the stitching done in yellow, I also want to spray the trim I got in yellow. Also another airbag unit so I don't have to face that nasty scratch any more!

Next on the list is to remove the clio letters off the bootlid. I ain't spending any more on it until I get the gearbox issues sorted.

thx for reading

Any more updates mate!

What gearbox issues are you having? How did you get on removing the Clio letters on the bootlid? Got a nice motor there!

 

[johnbr6]

Been a while

I have now removed the rear clio letters. I just ripped them off and carefully picked off the remaining adhesive rubbish, i had to pour hot water over the O though, but it worked a treat and it looks amazing!

I have also now given the car a good detail. Nothing amazing, as all I have is resin polish/ tech wax/ dodo juice hard candy. They worked amazingly on my old Primera (which you can see in the photo of the rear of the clio) but I want to try out better stuff on the liquid yellow. But in all fairness tech wax worked magic on it.

and then a little editing ...

Next on the list is to tint the rear windows... or to spray the callipers the same colour as the R35 GTR's... kind of a bronze sort of coppery color

This is absolutely stunning.
