Sparkling clean inside and out! Best 4hrs spent!!!



  Ultra Red Clio 197
hi, this is my new car! Its a 2001 1.2 Dynamique.. I put pics up of it a couple of weeks ago but here is is again today after having 4 hours of loving! lol..

Today I added new Renault silver interior door handles, silver renault gear knob, door sills, got my new custom designed mats, Silver 16V side badges, Clear Side repeaters, locking Valve caps, Tax disk holder, Seat belt pads, decals, fin radio aerial (still not sure about this)!!..

I then cleaned every last part of it even used cotton buds to clean the fan vents on dash board. Can anyone suggest any further cheapish things I could do to it.?? Pics below!

thanks mate,

Silvervisions are already on order from net! might come tomorrow!

Could I do the colour coding myself?

I agree it needs lowered slightly but not something I can do just yet as funds are low!

Lowering definetly, even if it is just 40mm on springs.

Lowering is something I would like to do.. what does it cost roughly? Maybe next month as its bonus time at work!

Its a small world isnt it! I live in Killinchy! Yeah I agree, kinda scary we drive the same and have same name! funny too tho!..

Nobody has commented on my mats! Black leather look trim and logos.. What do you think of them?

They cost £68.50.. for front and back with logo on them all..

Also what about the shark fin aerial?? should I keep it or loose it? I CANT decide if I like it or not..

smart mate! those 17s? i remember MattT i think had them lowered on 60mm..looked the dogs!

Cheers, Yea, they are 17" Wolfrace wheels... came with the car, wouldn't be my first choice, but I dont hate them so they'll stay on for a while..

i want your mats boyo! i might steal them as im from ards!lol

haha, :nono: you are only down the road from me! I got those mats especially made! At first the company refused to do the exact Clio logo but in the end I was messed around and they then agreed to do them as a one off! lucky for me! havent done it yet, but going to make a boot mat template and send it to them so they can make me uo a boot mat with the same logo! Dont exactly need a bootmat, just think it would look good and match the others.. another £25 though!!


very tidy mate
yep. would look the tits lowered :)

Yea, I might think of lowering her when my bank balance recovers! its slightly low after buying the car, then paying tax, insurance and spending about £200 on all the small mods.

thanks for the advice, but im afraid I hate black alloys especially on a black car! but thats just my opinion which we are all allowed to have!

Black Number plates? are they legal in the UK? My friend from Guernsey has black and silver plates but so do all the cars in Guernsey just like all cars in the UK have white and yellow plates.. Whether they are legal or not I wont be getting them as I would rather spend money on more important things.
