Renaultsport Clio 172 rep

[Oli172]

My Clio Authentique base - Renaultsport 172 Replica

Still few things missing, also the splitter will be coming off and Skoda one fitted. My final coat of lacquer will be sprayed on Tuesday too.
This is how it started;

Sorry but had to be uploaded!

Thanks,
Oli

^ Just noticed that. You don't know how lucky you are...

 

[Oli172]

Haha thanks guys

The paint finish - is fairly good but still a bit dull, I cant afford anymore money on lacquer going to try and get it to shine better.

I will get more photos of the paint finish, bonnet etc and post em on here

Car came without a sun roof luckily

Thanks again,
Oli

 

[nathanH]

Flat and polish that and it'll be al reet...

Turinis?

 

[Oli172]

Ok thanks and nope, I have the 03 Clio 172 alloys which i'm using then I have my eurosport straights.. As much as I love em I wont be able to afford them

 

[danjf]

awesome work mate, a real fan but i really dont like the random black bumper...other than that sweet!!

 

[clairemae]

Thats come along really well from the first pic.

 

[T9mm]

Well done! Looks very nice indeed!

This is something I plan to do with mine. Very nice looks with the cheaper bracket of tax insurance and petrol, untill you put a bigger engine in!

 

[Oli172]

Haha yeah
It will do me till about 20 when I can get a real 172

Let me know how you get on, if you get stuck on finding parts then I may be able to reccommend a few places

 

[Oli172]

I've had another project on the go..
Metro GTi Cup Race Car
Fully race built by myself and my father

 

[jocker]

good work - the Micra is a FIAT 500 for the record

 

[Camble]

Thanks buddy! I think I might have to takeyou up on that, I am having loads of trouble trying to find any parts.

Metro looks awesome as well! I helped fit a 1.8 in my friends, pretty fun cars and seriously under rated

 

[Curtis!]

Following on from the pm's dude.. I envy your car!

No sun roof, RS wings job and interior, looks ace! The 172 wheels have the lamest offset ever though so you may have problems with spacing.

 

[Oli172]

My mate knows him, just saw the car round a fair bit really! Used to park on Cubbington road a lot.

Ah so its not gone far then, may see you around sometime...

 

[Oli172]

Paintwork is finished
The other day I gathered the wings were far too dull, went to the paintshop, got another expense of lacquer and flatting paper..
Flattened and polished and t-cutted her up and still no luck
So I rubbed the front bumper, wings, spoiler and rear bumper down and re-lacquered it, and I had sucess!

 

[Jme17Clio]
