Quick wash and removed all the "Renault F1 Team" stickers and took off loads of tar spots on the rear.

Yeah I don't mean to come over as an arsehole but every modification done to this car has made it look worse :dead:

Edit: Apart from the smaller front plates!

Every Modification ?

Yozza Sport Exhaust = Ar$ehole ?
Xenon headlights = Ar$ehole ?
182 Rear Bench = Ar$ehole ?
Powerflex Bushes = Ar$ehole ?
Carbon interior bits = Ar$ehole ?
Skoda Front Splitter = Ar$ehole ?
200 rear badge = Ar$ehole ?
Mark Fish Springs = Ar$ehole ?

Front number plate = Amazing

​May aswell scrap it.

Wheels hurt my eyes :dapprove:

(Rest of the car looks awesome though)

Thank you regarding the car, Wheels are not to everyones liking
I prefer the original wheels, but great job otherwise :cheers:

Orignal wheels i still have so if i wanted to change i could but im happy to run about on these ATM

Agree with this personally. Wheels look wrong...

Cant please everyone, Its either love them or hate them, They have grown on me alot but like i say i still have my speedlines

Car looks lovely...Wheels look fine, prefer the turinis. But i think any aftermarket wheel on a clio dont look as good as the OEM ones, but nice car thou mate
 
I like the wheels. I'd have them a darker colour though, and i'd put the BTM sticker in the window rather than between the yozza. But it's your car so you should do what ever you want with it, and to be fair that's seems to be what you are doing.

Thought the wheels were trims and had to double take.. Think theyd look better darker but itd be boring if they were all the same..

Firstly you didn't post photos of the interior... and how the f**k am I meant to know you have powerflex bushes and mark fish springs? :S bit of a retarded response tbh. The exhaust is good but hardly changes the look of it that much does it.

All I noticed was s**t wheels, and a s**t sticker. Also I think the 200 rear badge looks out of place with the Clio badge still on.

By the way, I didn't call you an arsehole so I don't know why you posted that word several times... weird guy!

Taken from what you have said "every modification done to this car has made it look worse"

If you posted like the rest of the users and said that the wheels look wrong and don't go with the car and that sticker looks tacky and should be removed then fair play but to make a statement like the above is a little strange when you know nothing about the car.

If you have a look at this topic below you will see what has been done to the car and also you can see from some of the photos that some things have been removed.

^^Agreed thought it was a tad bit harsh saying every modification has made it look worse when I read his post.

If you're happy with the wheels then who cares, end of the day its your car you payed for so do what you want with it IMO.
I personally prefer turinis and oz f1s but their also not to some peoples liking. I think yours looks smart and very clean.

Get some pics of the scort Rs up :p

The wheels are temp and i guess im too lazy to get my finger out and sort the Turini's plus i want them powder coated with a good set of tyres and funds wont allow it at the moment.

It's clean, but you know every time u post pics you will get slated for the wheels as per your previous posts. Personally I don't like the wheels, mint turinis would make it perfect

As its been said 100 times you love them or hate them, There is loads of things i dont like on other clios but i dont lose sleep over it :p

I do have a set of Turini alloys that are sitting and once again its down to the lack of funds and getting my finger out hence why they are not on the car.

MarcR I also think you should scrap it. Every mod on that car is gash. Its not worth anything to anyone. Tell you what, I will help you out a bit by talking it off your hands and dealing with it myself, how's that sound? :p


nah in all seriousness, a nice trophy project. Wasn't sure on the wheels at first (and I know they are only temp), but after 2 or 3 looks, I think it suits it quite well! Kind of makes the car look longer for some reason. Nice and shiny to :)

I'm hopping on a plane right now, make sure you have both keys ready :D lol.

That's something I would actually like to do - drive to Scotland, following the coast as much as possible. Been saying it for years but never had the time or money to execute it :( Maybe this year :)

p.s, I think it looks really good that low...

Car looks spot on, i even sort of like the wheels they seem to be growing on me the more i look at the car.

As for the modifications , i dont think you could have bought and fitted anything better its EXACTLY what id do if i had a trophy.

Your always gona get marmite opinions on the wheels but like you've said there temporary people dont seem to take in what they read on here, if it were me id keep the wheels on the car to piss off the trophy 'purists'.

Having said all that the car is scrap. Might aswell weigh it in.;)

This thread actually makes me laugh a fair amount...


So you've bought a Trophy, which holds a price premium over a 182 Full Fat in the range. Then you've paid to 'spec it up' to include some of the parts of the cheaper models. As a result, you now have cheapo tyres on it. So you have essentially ended up paying more for a 182 full fat (ish) with worse handling.

At least you've got a nice front numberplate.
 
The wheels are temp and i guess im too lazy to get my finger out and sort the Turini's plus i want them powder coated with a good set of tyres and funds wont allow it at the moment.


I really like the trophy as is mate, looks tidy, any more plans for it?

I think though if you were to change wheels I wouldn't put turinis back on.... williams wheels in black/anthracite on slammed trophy = hero!

Wheels and sticker is all I meant! Because it's all I could see from the photos you posted, I'm sure you get that?

In hindsight, of course the other modifications you mentioned sound good :cool: I've just had a quick look through your project thread and my favourite 'addition' shall we say is the Sachs stickers... awesome!

I'm gonna be blunt... The wheels look s**t. The only reason anybody on here likes them is because they bum OEM and are big into their Renaults, anyone else would tell you they look s**t - and they'd be right.

The car looks tidy, so credit to you there, definitely... But Turinis are generally kept on these for a reason tbh.
