Sleepy's Pearl Black Clio - Project Benga

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

I would sack the pressed plates off. Gets some new plain plates. Give it a fresh look. All the other plans I would do though. Get a 172 wheel as they don't have cruise control buttons iirc.

get the 3/4 plate everyone has off here. well fancy plates. tidies up the front end. clean plates ftw!
 
Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

Been a while!! 172 Rear bumper soon, got for a very good pric,e horrah! next week probs! Some clear side repeaters too. And then a temporarily sad moment for Benga... As he, is going on STEELIES! it's not permanent, it's just that the 172 alloys are getting a full refurb and new tyres all round, nice!
Anyway, keep checkin for that sometime next week!

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

Looking good mate, sweet first car. The tyre shine works a treat. It annoys me when it's a black car and black wheels with nasty grey tyres haha. Keep it up

Still keepin them black mate! Just a good refurb! I did think about going back to original colour or Anthracite, but black was the safest option! Haha same dude, such a long wait! I've got 3 months till I can start properly learning, so not far! Ball ache to find the right one! Just got bad news from the one i was getting!!

Car's looking great, colour code and lowered and you're done! Out of interest, how much has all this cost? How does a 16 year old have all this money? I had like £10 a week when I was 16 lol

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

My bumper should be here in the next couple of days and I've only got 3 week to wait and then I'm taking a 1 week course. Shame we miss the CSS. And why, what's the bad news??

Theres one or two on eBay in pearl black but could do with a re spray, but then again you may aswell just get a cheap silver one etc and Have it sprayed. I got mine with arch liners for £80 posted off chris205. I think he has a cheap blue one. And it's a shame not being able to go to CSS as apparently they have dent repairers there At a cheap ish price :(

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

Good good, best thing to do for the bodyshop to keep the cost of spraying it down is to sand it and prime it. And yeah wait till we have both passed and then organise one :D. If you look at mine and yours progress threads together, they are both going the same way haha. And I'm carbon wrapping my bumper strip

Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

No point searching mate just get those inserts sprayed because it'll be a challenge to find an already colour coded non sport bumper!:p and sweeet! Just waiting for him to reply, i've payed and told him ect ect but since then, no replies from him!
 
Re: Project Benga 16v 1.2 MK2

Back again with more news! To start off: I've ordered myself some Bosch Areo Wipers! as my current wipers are not even for a clio! and new number plate light and lamp to go with the 172 bumper tomorrow!
And just about an hour ago, I removed my original bumper and archliners in preparation for Benga's new @ss. ;) You wouldn't believe how much mud was in the archliners. phwoarr

Cars looking nice bud, question about that K&N induction kit, did it come with the right bracket to fit it onto the intake thing? mines the same phase engine as yours and its not just a simple slip on!
 
  Renault Clio MK4 RS
The car is looking nice dude, I got my clio under a month ago. In that time ive fitted some 40mm lowering springs, few interior panels in carbon wrap, RS grille, sub in the boot and some heko wind deflectors. The wind deflectors do look pretty good on full black cars so id recommend buying some for yours. Ill keep an eye on this thread as the car seems to be coming along very nicely ;) Im wanting to buy some 172 alloys sometime soon for mine as my car has some crappy alloys on it at the moment and makes the car imo look crap!

Thanks buddy! and maybe, might have a little think on that.. Not to keen on them tbh from what I've seen on some cars. Yeah, do it, lot's coming up this month!;) and oooh get some bro!
 
  clio 1.2 16v
on the cars i've done stuff too, the intake just has a hose then a box with a filter on the end, and to put an induction kit on you just stick it on the end of the hose, but theres like no where to screw the filter to on these haha! so just asking if it came with the little black plate with the two bolts on the top.
