noob looking for advice on external styling for 1.6 dynamique

[Curtis!]

On here people split cars in the parts section all the time dude. I grabbed a set of bumpers etc from ebay for quite cheapo though. Worth looking around.

 

[ramsey374]

I had plans for a 172 rear bumper. Bought it and never got it sprayed. Suppose you could do it cheap but could be a bit of a hassle. Depends how long your going to have the car. I'm pretty sure there's a guy with a nice rep who only just got it how he wanted it and now it's for sale!

 

[mphgoose]

Sweet think i might have to sign up then lol. Ill do it today. How does the 172 rear bumper differ from standard? does it have the twin exhaust?

Check out people progress threads mate, youll see hundreds of sport bumpers. 172 and 182 bumpers are the same, except 182 bumpers have exhaust cut outs in the middle.

 

[mphgoose]

Ah right! thanks for the info im learning fast lol. Time to sign up i reckon.

 

[Will.]

I know its black but....

 

[mphgoose]

Im liking that a lot! similar style to what im looking for i think. is yours 1.6 as well?

 

[Will.]

1.4 but everything is exactly the same except for the lower end of the engine i think which makes yours an extra .2cc lol

 

[mphgoose]

Haha sounds about right dude. Not slow though are they? The old colt gti i used to own was supposed to have 126bhp and it was rapid but my clio isnt much slower at all!

 

[mphgoose]

Ive finally signed up ^^ time to find some parts for sale!!

While im on the topic, just found these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-ALLOY-WHEE...Car_Rims_ET?hash=item1e592cfdaa#ht_1902wt_941
Any opinions? Also would it be better to go for 16s or 17s?

 

[ChrisC19]

16's in my opinion mate. most will either say 16's and lower it, or 15's and lower it .

up to yourself at the end of the day as long as they are the correct fitment.

I had them in black with a red line. 17" handling was poor

 

[mphgoose]

Yeah must admit im leaning towards 16s. If i could find that style in black or anthracite in 16" id be on them like a tramp on chips! Maybe some rotas would work?? www.rarerims.co.uk

 

[ramsey374]

I was going to get some rotas. 16" black with red rim but missed out on them on eBay as I was too slow. Was gutted at the time

 

[mphgoose]

Yeah im starting to think some of them could be awesome, i love the slipstream http://www.rarerims.co.uk/alloys_sub2.asp?id=37&SubCategoryID=3&RangeID=37

and also the gt3
http://www.rarerims.co.uk/alloys_sub2.asp?id=30&SubCategoryID=3&RangeID=30

im thinking either of these in 16"s? my dad owes me a late birthday present so ill have to twist his arm lol. feeling the slipstream in black atm or gt3 in red

 

[Jamesl172]

some great looking clio's in this thread.....

 

[mphgoose]

Yeah but i need more for inspiration lol.

 

[ramsey374]

Congrats on becoming a member Thought about what you're going to do then?

 

[Hutchie]

heres my naughty blue

1600 on bike boddies
sport bodykit
coilovers
lpg conversion

 

[mphgoose]

Thanks dude ive just bought a pair of 172 skirts from someone on this forum so thats one of the first steps, next on the list is a good set of rims, im thinking the rota slipstreams atm or maybe turinis if i can get some at the right price. Definately gonna have to lower it at some point, not sure if i should go for springs or coilovers though. Hopefully get a RS grill soon too and liking the idea of a bonnet bra. Obviously this will happen as funds allow lol. Ill get some pics up soon and make a Project thread

 

[Hutchie]

You have a PM

 

[mphgoose]

PM'd backa mate

 

[ramsey374]

172 replica side skirts that fit your standard front bumper or actual side skirts from a 172?

I think the rotas are deffo a good idea

 

[mphgoose]

Real 172 skirts ... wont they fit a standard bumper?? I didnt think about that lol

 

[MK3]

Lol no they wont, real skirts need to be used with the sport wings

Could be wrong but i dont think theres anyway of modifying them to fit

 

[Curtis!]

Not worth messing about trying to make them fit, will need wings/bumper for them to all lock into place.

 

[mphgoose]

Oh b***ocks!!! lol. If anyone knows of any for sale let me know!!! Are they hard to fit cos im not the most skilled at this kind of thing and i dont have a massive budget right now.

 

[mphgoose]

and while im on the subject, are sport wings just wider?

 

[MK3]

Have a look in the guides section mate, shows you exactly how to do it.

 

[Will.]

Yh but if you want sport wings you also need sport bumper. They all go together

 

[mphgoose]

Ah well, i best start saving then lol. Best keep my eyes open for some i suppose.
