Hey all,
Me and my brother were considering purchasing a Renault Clio 1.2 MK2 as a first car and as somewhat of a first project. We both have our driving tests on the 31st. Lurking around here, I've seen many good, well-modded versions of Clios, and I really want to do mine up something like a few of these. We know what we want, but are having a hard time finding it. One of the biggest hurdles we are yet to cross is the actual purchase of the vehicle itself. We both know what we want. Either black or the blue for the colour. You know, the nice blue on majority of Clios? These aren't so much of a problem to find, and the price range is within our budget for the vehicle itself (sub £1000) for majority of them. However, we both agree that we would prefer to have a regular Clio roof over one with a sunroof. In our opinion it just looks so much nicer, and we've both heard stories of the sunroof leaking or squeaking/vibrating sometimes at high speeds such as on the motorway. We thought we'd post here to get some advice on where we may be able to find one such as this, because multiple ones we have found are either too expensive, too far away, or just have a sunroof. The plain roofed ones seem so rare!
Once we get the car, we were planning on doing some low-end modifications; nothing too major. Here is some of the things we had in mind:
Many thanks!

Once we get the car, we were planning on doing some low-end modifications; nothing too major. Here is some of the things we had in mind:
- Black wrap the front and rear badges
- Bigger exhaust exit - bigger = better??
- New wheels - nothing too flash, but just different from the bog-standard
- Lowering it - Still debating how much
- New seats - A little bit undecided on this still
Many thanks!
