Definetly looks lowered.

 

[DrR]

looks lowered to me and has a gash grill on the front, just look under it, if the srpings are coloured it means it's been lowered.

 

[craigy_87]

ahhh thanks she just forgot to ask when she was round seeing it i'll get her to ask the guy.
cheers again

Its deffo been lowered without a doubt and its on 16/17s. And cheese grater grill, i'd look for a standard one. Not like theres a shortage of 1.2 16v Mk2 Ph2s.

yeah 17s am pretty sure, av never actually been round to see the car but thought you guys would know best from just pics
mk2 ph2 :S lol i know feck all about clios but i think i get what your on about

 

[bmh.01]

mk2 ph2 :S lol i know feck all about clios but i think i get what your on about

Mk2 Ph1 = Rounder shape with the bug-eyed front end.
Mk2 Ph2 = Rounder shape with the pointy lights (the shape you've posted)
Mk2 Ph3 = Same as above but slightly different front bumper and interior.
Mk2 Ph4 = End of run things that renault are doing at the moment with totally different front/rear bumpers.

Just to confuse you.

 

[JclioD]

Definatly lowered, if shes buying it for sure, make sure she asks how its been lowered, if its just springs and no shocks, then it may cause problems for you (replacing the shocks) soon!

plus the springs dont have to be coloured, people have sprayed them black for insurance purposes, and i think sportlines come black dont they?!or something likewise.

Definatly look for standard one

 

[Spiezels]

get a RS grill

ahhh kool kool never knew there were that many different phase mk2 clios

yeah a advised her to ask about shocks, is there any mm drop which the standard shocks can handle (of course uprated shocks always better)

get a RS grill

lol not a clue what that is sorry

[craigy_87]

well my sis got her clio today an i love it
a wee light has appeared on the dash, its right in the middle above the oil warning anyone know what its warning me of? its like a coil shape

 

[craigy_87]

it anything serious? just incase my sis goes out a drive again

 

[bmh.01]

Its the electric fault warning light, on a 1.2 16v could be a whole host of things tbh. Needs to be plugged in to find out what the fault it. Does it still drive ok ?

 

[JclioD]

ps, yeah the drop is 40mm is ok with shock, it looks about 40mm, so i shouldnt worry, however may have to replace them soon! dont know about electrical problem sadly mate! ring where you got it from, since i assume they should know something about it, it seems bit coincidental!!

some people never pass the mental stage they were at when they were 15 and it was cool to be 'the hardest in the school' etc, stuff like that just pisses me off. Hope you get the car sorted mate, and gett he cheese grater off the front, hehe.
