Pearl Black 1.2 16V

[Carnex]

Hello ClioSport!

My name is Sam, I'm 20 years old and passed my test about this time last year. Heres my daily runner.

I was never that much into cars as a kid but always loved the shape of the Clio PH2. When I passed my test I went in search of the newest reg of the older model I could find. I came across this Campus 1.2 with very low milage and couldn't help myself. I paid for the car myself so wanted something that was going to last me a good few years and not cost me a bomb in petrol and insurance. When I first got the car it was completely stock (no pictures unfortunately!) and I just wanted to make it look smarter without going over the top.. Things changed, and I need your opinions!

Here are some more pictures, all modifications so far will be listed below.

Now I know it won't be to everyones taste but I would still like your honest opinion, here is a full list of modifications:

- 16 inch Fox Racing alloys
- New tyres all round
- K-tec Supersports recessed exhaust system
- Eibach Pro-kit suspension (currently on standard shocks)
- Light tint on boot and back quarter windows
- Cheapo universal induction kit I got from a friend
- JVC head unit
- Fli sub and amp
- Upgraded door speakers with Pioneer
- Aero wipers front and back
- Skoda fabia splitter
- Swapped my grey surround headlights for some nice new black ones
- Debadged the Renault and Campus badges
- Plastidipped front emblem
- Fitted RS grille
- Chrome indicators all round
- Phillips diamond vision in dipped and main beams
- Ice white LED sidelight, interior and number plate bulbs
- Stubby Richbrooke aerial
- Smoked lights (REGRET)

Still to come:

- Sand and respray strips, bullets and grille
- Fit fake yellow fogs
- Mod exhaust brackets with Powerflex to stop sagging
- Fit 6000k HID in main and dipped beams
- Coilovers, reccomendations?
- Fit 15MM spacers all round (have these)
- Light tints on front windows?
- Paint calipers yellow/red
- Give the drums and a good clean, they're rusting
- Replace standard back lights

What do you think? I know the back lights may look a little tacky but I'm looking to swap them for some standard red ones.

All advice and constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks! :smile:

Welcome to CS Sam!
Remove rear light tints definitely! And a different exhaust!

The lights can be swapped out. The exhaust I want to keep though, it just needs more support. I'm working on it

Thanks for the welcome

Forgot skirts off the to-do list, found some that fit straight onto none sport models. They should arrive shortly.

I have a campus sport !

nice car btw

 

[Carnex]

Nice mate, thought I was alone here for a second! Which model Hekos are they? My windows don't shut properly when mine are in 😂

theres actually quite a few campus' on here, mine included
if you're gonna go for hid's you should consider picking up a set of projector headlights, and as for the exhaust i'd personally fit it into the bottom of the bumper, it gives a much cleaner look
all depends how extreme you wanna go but mine started off as a 1.2 campus sport http://www.cliosport.net/threads/ruby-the-1-2-rep.755276/

Yeah they are team hekos I had the same problem my drivers window wouldnt shut so I had to modify the wind deflector by putting door edge guard along the top of the deflector thus opening the rubber seal more meaning now the window shuts nicely ! Passanger window seems fine probs because the car was never used lol I have a sportex back box on mine and I love it, lots of people hate them but each to their own :smile:

 

[Carnex]

@Jayms Yeah I've looked through a few project threads, yours included :smile: Very nice job with yours and thanks for the advice. Do you mean cut out the bumper? I have been thinking of doing this..

 

[Carnex]

@campusdan Ah I see, I might give it a go with mine but I'm not sure if I even like the look of them. Might have to stick em on eBay. I got that impression from people on this forum too but at the end of the day they are just like any other PH2, just newer and a slightly different shape..
