PROJECT CLIO

[nuttah69]

i got hold of this clio 1.4 RT about a year ago and i just been doing mods to it when ever i had time to and had money to :rasp:

my plan was to go for a kinda valver look but with my own personal twist

this is what it looked like when first got it :S

i then started work on the car removing the side trims because my plan was to smooth them in. at this point i also lowered the front by 40mm and rear accordingly

whilst trying to work on the car during the darkness with minimal light, i got a bit stressed so i went schwazernigger on my bonnet :S

after this moment of outrage, i decided to repair the damage that was in the doot when i bought it and also i set about replacing my lovely modified bonnet :rasp:

after repairing the damage, i decided to start the smoothing of the soor trims

i then fitted my 4" backbox

after this came the alloys

becuase i lowered my car based on the 13" wheels, the ride height needed to be adjusted when i put the 15" TSWs on. i heightend the ride height to allow for there to be no rubbing of the wheels on the rear inner arch

went from this:

to this:

i then fitted my williams bonnet along with my 16v wings:

once this was all done i primered up the car:

first came the masking up:

then parts of the primer:

i then decided to change my willy front bumper to an aftermarket custom one :

from this:

to this:

thats it so far, im just tryna find all my other pics :evil:

comments very welcome

should look nice when its painted up

aint sure on the wheels yet, i think with all the smoothing, some wide ass 13" or 14 deep dish would look better

should have kept the williams bumper looks loads better i think!
smoothing looks good will look cool with euro wheels as said! i think

Can you please get a better camera! Hard to see what the hell is in the picture.

Best of luck with the project

I think you should get rid of that daft exhaust, keep the willy bumper and sort yourself out with some better wheels, then it should look sweet.

 

[N!CK R]
