Hey, so ive been a member on here for a while, started off when i got a clio 1.2 for my 17th last year and i had it for a month, then crashed it ahah!

Here she is before the crash, and here she is after!

Then, after all this i bought a 306 d turbo to keep me going for a whilst, then i bought a clio 172 k-tec convertion. i love it. just want to show you all what it started life out like and what plans ive got for it. ive know the car for years as i knew the lad i bought it off, so here it is......

as the lad before me bought it.

as i bought it.

First things first i removed the front tints and sun strip.

292143_10150266186746601_649481600_7890938_4837726_n.jpg then, got my self a sport bumper.
Then my plans were to spray wheels + int bumper strips orange, so did that and it looked gash so i carbon wrapped them :)

so it stood like this for a while.

Then the gearbox went, witch cost me £500 and two weeks without a car!
309392_10150318226326601_649481600_8255122_1682794900_n.jpg
after this i gave it a good clean, and treated myself to a 3/4 plate and sport grille!

Then got some aero wipers.
406826_10150478582071601_649481600_8917058_798867998_n.jpg

Then i got myself a detachable tow bar fitted so i could get out on the bike :)

The thing with this is it gets in the way of the exhaust so it sits about 1.5" lower that it would normaly do and looks awful! so im going to have to get the angle grinder and welder out, AGAIN!


So thats its lift so far. all thought im mid way through spraying the wheels metallic purple, and winding the coilovers down (after exhaust is sorted) :)

Wheel Pics:

So, what do you all thing? not bad for a 1.2 ;)

Just need to get all 4 wheels done and new tyres,
get exhaust sitting spot on
laguna splitter
and get coilovers wound down

Then im going to look into a few more sport body parts like front bumper,wings and skirts, and maybe some seats :)

Re: Clio sport convertion!

I think the 1.2 looks really nice, a bit of colour coding, perfect ride height & an interesting colour. Shame it ended on it's roof! In contrast the local-rude-boi-spec "172" looks well... errr... umm

I take it you didn't claim for the 1.2 then/tell them the new one has had a conversion/fronting. There's no way you were quoted £1100 for a conversion and a crash. Hell it takes 3 yr NCB with a perfect record to get an RS Clio down to £1100 insurance.

You are the reason our insurance prices are so high.

I'm not going to say the things I want to, I'll simply say I'm out.

Re: Clio sport convertion!

Bullshit, No insurance company on earth would insure an 18 year old with an accident and a 172 engine for £1100, Infact i strongly doubt they would even insure a 1.2 for that much.

Im paying £1100 third party f&t on a mk1 1.2 clio, been driving 18 months no accidents points etc so no way is the quoted figure right.

OP makes me feel embarrased about my Stripez....

...oh yeah, nothing changed there.
 
Re: Clio sport convertion!

lol im 20 clean license with 2 years NCB and i can't even get third party on my 182 for £1100. You had your first car and managed to roll that after a month. Then you buy a converted 1.2 which looks chavved up and dont declare it.

w****r

Re: Clio sport convertion!

Im calling BS on this one aswell untill somehow proved otherwise... no way your insurance would be that cheap at 18 with a crash and a conversion. Stripes add 7.5BHP per stripe ;)

Re: Clio sport convertion!

Stripes add 7.5BHP per stripe ;)

Depends, in the case of OP and mine, ours are offset, meaning we're getting 13hp to the passenger-side wheel, 2 to the drivers.

Although, being 2-tone, mine kick in at different times, y0!

Re: Clio sport convertion!

it may also be a convention.... although the OP seemingly has no Clio sport

Re: Clio sport convertion!

Just the way you want it, ideal for roasting it around roundabouts IIRC?

Racing between roundabouts is well boss.

Especially if there's 150 Saxo's and other heaps parked around too, not at all filled with chavtards trying to get fingerbangs on an industrial estate.

IIRC

Chicks dig roundabout racing. To say you beat a Saxo is an instant minge magnet

Hi, thought I'd jump in here.

First of all, wow. You did a hell of a job on the first car! :eek:... Wheels looked good though.


And who are you insured with? Or is it admiral group with their 'you can have mods but we won't pay for them if you crash' cover? If so... I've got that and I had no idea it stretched to conversions.

*goes to find f4rz

Re: Clio sport convertion!

My insurance on 1.2 clio is nearly double what hes quoting.....

I have virtually everything possible in my favour (postcode, 2yr NCB, car on drive, use of another car, no mods, high excess, limited mileage, no commuting, no business use, 3 lower risk drivers on policy, use of another car) and paid £1350 last march for a 182 (was 19)

Since writing the 182 off renewal (3 years driving i.e. 50% longer than the OP & one total loss accident, 0 ncb) leaped to £1850.

Had I not written it off (i.e. had 3yrs NCB and no accidents) it would STILL only have been £1050.


He has not legally insured a conversion for £1100 nevermind having had an accident.

You can do your own vehicle check on the DVLA/DirectGov site. If it were registered as a 2.0L it'd come up there. If he hasn't declared it to the taxman (costing £235) then who reckons he's declared it to the insurance (which would cost £0000s)

You missed another crucial detail. The width. One of your stripes is wide enough to embaress a Dodge Viper GTS, circa 3 times wider than your average stripe. Therefore that's power gained^3


is it admiral group with their 'you can have mods but we won't pay for them if you crash' cover? If so... I've got that and I had no idea it stretched to conversions.

You still have to pay the normal amount extra for declaring them, just you aren't covered.

Re: Clio sport convertion!

not feeling the stripes either, i think it is just a tad too aggressive looking, i feel as though it may try and mug me if i walked past it but each to thier own and as for your insurance, well something doesn't add up, im 23 tmoro and my new quote just came in at 753 quid for my 1.4 clio (2004) with 2 years NCB, no points or crashes ever (touch wood), license held for 5 years and a very cheap postcode, miles cheaper than a birmingham one. so 1100 on a 172 conversion at 18? bonkers.
