Clio mk2
Cheers dude! I try
So this weekend.. its been cleaned again.. thats a given..!
Buuuut.. have tested and managed to fit the bike rack. Owned one for a while now and just not used it, but should hopefully be going dalby in a couple of weeks (plus the plan is to do more trails this year).
Re done the lights as they were going a bit naff again, more so on the left. Pics dont do it justice, really good pice of kit the 3M.
Before.
During.
After
Bit of a slope = bit close. Think its dropped around 60-70mm and did want to go lower eventually but it could soon get impractical.

Forgot to add...
Had a minor incident today with a c*nt on a ped. If he got any closer he might aswell been under my wheels. Decided to cut me up when overtaking in the 30 zone and then stop later on and thurl some abuse. Then caught him going through a red light.. I really hate everyone on the roads.

Rota grid bud!
What a tidy little car. Id be tempted to leave the non sport bumper on.
Clio mk2
Yeah I've got a late/hate relationship with that. Sometimes I think it looks smart, other times I hate it. Seems to depend on light and angles.

Note to report lately bar replaced the back wiper the other day as it was... dieing.

Im the feeling the Clio 200 love. I've test drive about 3 or 4 now just because lol Last time I test drove one I ended up buying a Twingo 133. I will deffo own one at some point when I can justify the cost/benefit over the 172.
Please put the sport kit on your car btw. The gay front bumper is annoying me

Haha I daren't test drive one as I know I'll just want one more [emoji85] a 172 would be on my radar next though.
It could be a while. Still have to source a new bonnet, front arch liners and fog surrounds as well as tidying up a few bits on the sport bumper. Can't afford it just yet either unfortunately. It's a bit by bit project!

Lovely car mate. I have a 1.2 I'm hoping to do similar mods too. The color coded front bumper insert looks awesome. Will definetly be getting this done
Clio mk2
Thanks pal. If you can, get the side strips and back bit done aswell as it smartens it up 100%. The plastics make it look naff.

Mines is pearl black aswell mate. I've got the spoiler door handles and sidestrips already. Needing silver bullets and the front and rear bumper insert and a sport grille.
Where you purchase the wheel nuts from??
Clio mk2
Fairly sure I got them from ebay.

Thought I'd give a quick update although nothing much to report lately. But...
Now slowly aquiring items to fit. Eventually!
- New fog surrounds to fit the 172 bumper
- Bonnet
- Arch liners/splash guards for the 172 again
Give it a couple of months of saving up and she'll be back off to the bodyshop.
Also purchased Trax tickets so will probably see some of you there.

300 mile ish trip done this weekend for Birmingham and Trax. Car ran perfect. Now go to work this morning and there's a weird 'whining' sound coming from somewhere. Fark :neutral:

looks good buddy, those wheels could do with coming out abit though

Cheers dude.looks good buddy, those wheels could do with coming out abit though
Yeah defiantly. I knew the 172 arches were wider so held out until this was fitted. Gonna have a measure Sunday and see what I'll need.
Only just realised they've missed the drums and callipers. Back it goes next week [emoji58] bumper and near side light doesn't quite line up either so while it's there they can tweak that aswell.
Clio mk2
Yeah from a quick measure seems like 25mm Front 20mm Back.
Planned to go to USC today but with the sound becoming slowly louder (thinking wheel bearing) decided against that trip lol.
Fitted the splitter and re-furbed the headlights properly today with a quick wash ready for a better clean tomorow. Interior can stay mucky until its back/finished from the garages.
I finally love the front.

After going back to the bodyshop to fix the problems... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/recent-re-spray-swirl-marks-scratches-in-paint.779416/
...all is... reasonably well!
So.. the work that was done for anyone bothering to read this :tongueout::
Sport front & smoothed numberplate recess.
Arches.
Skirts.
Spoiler.
Calipers & Drums.
Mist Jets.
New bonnet.
Fog light surrounds (one has been done properly..)
Grille.
Velcro pads on the back. Took off the sticky pads as they were naff. See how these hold up.
Next week service & spacers.
Picture whoring.

Headlights could do with a little refurb and polish mate, other than that, looking really smart

Just seen you've refurbed them, maybe it's because they're the grey ones, black ones make such a difference!
Clio mk2
I had wondered with xenons! Don't know much about them (wiring etc) but if they have the black inserts, very tempted.
Yeah the grey looks a bit pants now everything is now black! Refurbing them has helped but was deffo going to get some with the black inserts next year. Good to know they do make a difference
Thanks fella

That's true! Everything being black has brought out the grey headlights! Didn't notice it before the new bumpers etc, strange.
If you can find a decent set of black insert headlights it would be worth it Imo, look at mine, that has black inserts, looks a lot shinier for some reason, the headlights I mean.
And for the xenons, as long as they're all complete with ballasts etc I'm under the impressions it's a straight swap! Plug in and play
Very impressed with how's this is looking though mate little touches will bring it over that line though, spacers, black headlights! Looking smart though

Service done + new wheel bearing for the NS back. Fixed the 'whining' sound.
Lowered more on the front (only a tad) and spacers on too.
25mm front.
20mm back.
They are rubbing on the back so gonna need the camber shims putting on to try and help, think they're -1.5. Bit of a bummer as they're cutting into the tyre a reasonable amount already. Putting a load of tape under the arch this week and bodge jobbing it before I can take it back in! The stance on it is far better tho now. But I kind of miss the tuck from the front as I now realise how small 15s look under the sport wings :weary:. Maybe 16s with a lower offset and some small stretch for next year...
Also just ordered way too much from cleanyourcar. F credit cards.

Been a while. Slowly building up bits and pieces (and working OT to buy sh*t). Next day or so will post up the massive cleaning sesh I did this weekend with some new bits 'n pieces.
Did 300 ish miles the other weekend going round Haydon bridge area/Hadrian's wall. Just about managed the hills with the little engine and a boot full:sweatsmile: Poor thing. Deffo need some wheel/arch work on the back as scrapes a lot of with some weight in the back.
For now, some washer blanks and black insert lights I've purchased (to be fitted at a later date), and a random pic.
