replica Clio sport-172

[Adz]

Hi i have just started getting all the parts to start my clio sport replica . I know lots of people dont like replica sports because of it not being a true sport but in time if i wanted to make it a real sport i could im just sorting the looks out. I dont like any of the body kits for clio beacuse they are just over the top. The sport is such a good looking car when modified properly. This is why im going to make a replica.

I have done a few mods like neons under footwells also new angel lights and L.E.D rear lights. I have yet to fit my wolfrace 17inch Asia-Tec Shogun alloys and i nice 3.5 back box. I have some brake caliper paint and 40mm lowering kit.

I would like to once i have found all the bumpers to strip out the rear seats and give it a race look

I am looking for a clio sport front bumper im not too sure if i want the arches lol clio sport spoiler and rear bumper i want to take the door strip off and smooth them down de lock the car and smooth the boot badge off and remove the rear wiper.

I could do with help finding parts and fitting them any help would be appreciated lots Thanks Adam.

like the angels.. dont like the rears,... they look like renaults own lexarse lights arnt they?

 

[Ed]

Remove angel eyes and Lexus Lights.

To make it a Replica you will need:

Cup Spoiler - £150+
Front Bumper - £100+
Side Wings - £?
Rear Bumper - £65+
Side Skirts - £70 +
and a set of 172 Alloys. - £150+

I'd sell the lights off first and foremost they are unnecessary and will help generate a few funds for the parts you need that Ed has mentioned above

 

[Ed]

Oh and remove Exhaust.

 

[Ed]

Paint for Colour coding - £30
Sport grill - £50

Just keep the alloys you have got on atm.

Hi i have got new rear lights they are L.E.D and look nice i was going to do a replica 172 but with some nice mods. Ed do you know the shop or person i could get this stuff from ?? Thanks Adam.

 

[Ed]

Paint mixed from Auto-paint.co.uk.
Sport Grille from Renault Dealer.

Yeah the vipers a good little mod, tbh though (depending on engine size) you're not likely to really notice too much of a difference between the two, viper will give a better induction rawr over a k&n pannel filter, if thats what you mean when you say k&n? if not, again, over a cone filter the viper will sound slightly better due to the heat sheild and enclosed CAF

Nice one yeah! sounds like a good plan! Well the bodykit was already on it when I got it so was pish :rasp:, changing the front grille was abit of a pain though, couldn't get the one side off so had to break it all to get it off, others don't have problems though, so might of just been me! majority of the parts just bolt on, you'll have a tricky job with the standard wings if you don't get sport ones though, as the sport bumper wont fit the standard wings without them being heated up and pulled out, much easier to change the wings! gd luck with the project though mate, I'm all for reps! :approve:

Finding parts will be fairly easy, hardest thing to find will be wheel arch liners. Not long back i sold full kit brand new for £400 front bumper, back bumper, sideskirts, Front wings, cup splitter and door handles.

Yeah I'm rolling with standard liners, half inch gap FLT

 

[Adz]

lol do u think if i found a clio 172 they someone was scraping or breaking i could just buy all the bit of them spray them and fit them all on ?

to make a full 172 body i would need front bumper, rear with no exhaust holes , arches , skirts, cup spoiler anymore things ?

 

[delusiond]

If your wanting 172 replica, Exterior wize you need

Front Bumper
Sport Front Grille
Front Wings
Sideskirts
Back Bumper
172 Wheels
Wheel Arches

Upgrade to cup,

Cup Splitter
Cup Spoiler.

 

[Hutchie]

Yeah that's your best bet, unlikely to find all the bits from one car though, as they are often only breaking due to being damaged in crashes = damage to the kit. thats the lot mate, might want to get some hubcentric spacers too so the wheels fill the wider arches. cup splitter is also a nice little touch on the front bumper, expensive though, mine was £80 2nd hand!

Doubt it will fit right, both sides where it connects to front wings are a different shape cut.

 

[Adz]

yh i had a look and it seems a bit messed up it has a nice splitter on it though could i work on it a clean it up or is it too far gone to be fixed ?

 

[Hutchie]

bit of time and corect methods and it will fit

see JD's naughty blue for example

 

[Adz]

I have bided on it but im not going about £25.00 because of the condition how would i fix the two sides up right m8 ?

 

[delusiond]

could do it with fiberglass, or if you put on non genuine skirts you could keep your front wings, cut the corner off your front bumper make the axact same cut on the damaged bumper and join together then sand it down it will be a perfect fit to your front wings wont be able to see the join if its done correctly and sprayed.

 

[Adz]

That sound like the best plan carrying on the cuts and keeping my normal wings how much do u think i need to cut ?

 

[delusiond]

Not sure to be honest it will just be the part where it connects to the wing, as for replica sideskirts http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=417587

love they angel eyes had them in mine

but the rear lights get the selt some one will want them get so extra funds as well

 

[Adz]

I love the angel eyes they look great at night

I havent got them rear lights on the car anymore i didnt like them that much i got some rear L.E.D lights they look great at night.

I need to find a cup spoiler and rear bumper with no exhaust holes and then its just fitting them and getting the colour right.

 

[Adz]

These are the rear lights i have got on my car

and this is how i want the inside of my car to look like

 

[Chris_786]

Check out other peoples projects mate, see what they've done.
TBQH you NEED to spend good money on a project like this, as a poor result often offends.

Is that a rear strut brace those harness' are attacked too?

I've heard stuff about that being quite unsafe tbh :/

 

[Adz]

yh i think so why would it be unsafe ?

 

[Jungle_Jim]

yep you are better to mount them to the rear seat belt buckle mounting points as in a crash the rear suspension could move, this would move the strut brace which the seats are attached too. i think you can only mount them too a bar if its part of a welded in roll cage

 

[Adz]

kk cheers man thanks for the info so it looks like i will be mounting them on the floor lol. Im going to sell a few things.

1)wolfrace 17inch Asia-Tec Shogun alloys - £300

2)wolfrace induction kit only goes up to a 2003 clio - £20

3)rear spoiler - £30

I will post more infromation on the sell parts bit this is just to let you no lol collection only. I live in Hemel Hempseat

mounting them to the rear seat belt buckle causes them to be at an angle. pointing down wards, in the unfortunate event of a crash you wouldn't walk away. your spine would be crushed and compressed down into the seat because of the angle of the mounting point....

 

[Adz]

lol ok i dont want that to happen at all so what the best place to mount them then ? lol

 

[Daz_RT_04]

i've got some mint 182 alloys for sale in white, if your interested?

 

[Adz]

[Adz]

[Firas]

[Adz]
