Swedish Renault Clio III 1,5dCi project

[STCCEdition]

Hello!

Looking for a front spoiler lip to my Clio III. Does anybody know someone in the UK that is selling some lip to my Clio and if they could send to Sweden?



Here is one picture I found with a nice lip.

Best Regards,

Try to get the full kit mate. Looks good except the fogs piece.

Hello!

Well this picture is from a swedish renault "styling"-catalog with this body kit. I have already bought another kit with the spoiler diffuser and the black fogs piece.. these fogs piece on the picture above doesnt look so good.

I could only buy the front spoiler lip that is like on the car above and paint it black like the other black details on the car?

Would it look good you think?

You're aiming for the contrast, I see. I think it would look good.

Exactly! Need to talk to Renault here in Sweden if they could get me that part only so i can take it to my local painter so he can put some black color on it i think it will look awesome!

Should i go with LED-bulbs on the back lights?? What do you guys think?

 

[Z1gZa]

Yes but get white ones. They shine bright like a diamond xD

Question that i need to ask everybody who knows these things on mk3,

Will 7,5" front and 8,5" rear fit on my car? ET38.

I dont want it to scrape or anything.

Here are the wheels,

I think they should fit ok mate, big arches on the mk3. The only thing is, it will be hard to pull them wheels off without getting your car a lot lower.

What do you mean with your last sentence mate?

I have 7" all around now with ET35 but i totally like the RS split style wheels..

Found these as well, 8" all around Will these fit good? Doesnt anybody have a mk3 with 8" wheels that i can see pictures on?

 

[ksykes23]

Sorry, maybe i didn't explain it well lol. The BBS RS style replica wheels are quite difficult to make look good without the car being really low, in my opinion of course and I know you weren't that interested in getting coilovers. Whereas the wheels you have at the moment are really cool and look nice at the height you have the car already

 

[Z1gZa]

Don't forget about center bore

 

[mjogreen]

The cars looking great pal! What lights did you get in the end then?

I will go with the wheels i have now! I think they are really nice!! And with the red BBS emblems and new bults.. damn .. it will look AWESOME!

They are PERFECT!

 

[STCCEdition]

I Will buy new bults tomorrow for my car!

But the wheel bult locks... does anybody know any good locking bults on ebay that will ship to Sweden? Really open for all suggestions!

[Z1gZa]

Needs to be lowered ASAP! Overall, it's looking pretty good.

Haha soon, soon! ) Just need to get my strut brace and wait until the winter is over then it will get lowered 45mm front and 45mm rear (H&R-springs) and Sparcos strut brace and the 17" BBS Wheels )

Thanks for your comment!

Got some complains that my position lights are bad and that they barely look like they are on. So i started searching after new, better and stronger position lights and in the end i got these from Ebay, http://viewitem.eim.ebay.se/2x-High...-Parking-Backup-Light-White/271139152603/item

CREE is as I had been told the best brand for LED-lights and after watching alot of youtube videos about CREE and reading about them I think that I have done a good choice.


Here is a picture of the original position-lights, not so good at all. The CREE-bulbs should arrive next week to me here in Sweden then i will upload before/after pictures.

You mean parking lights. I don't like leds much. I do like oem or amber lights though

 

[STCCEdition]

Yes, parking lights.. never trust Google Translate haha ) Well because i dont like the color different on parking lights (ugly yellow) and the fog lights (warm white) i do believe that with these CREE-leds that i will get same color of the lights, the cree bulbs are 6000k but they always end up in like 5000-5500k.. just hope that it will look nice on the car

 

[Z1gZa]

I would not mess with the fogs. The more the yellow the better. Have you seen the philips blue vision? I have a pair at home to try them.

Yes but i cannot seem to find anyway to get down to the fog bulbs? its so tight everywhere!

Bumper out

 

[STCCEdition]

Is it difficult to take the bumber out on the MK3?

 

[Z1gZa]

Nope. Super easy. At least on the Phase 1. One screw behind the armhole (don't the name in eng ) and two screws on the plastic shield under the car. Do this on each side. Them four screws under the bonnet. Be careful so it does not fall off. You just need to pull the bumper on each side in your direction and it's off.

 

[STCCEdition]

Will buy new mirror caps in short time.. and then they will be painted in high gloss black. Dont want to destroy my original ones that i have on the car now..

But.. How do i take of the mirror caps from the car and with no risk of damaging anything?

New update:

The strut brace has arrived! Got it waxed with Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0 haha

The strut brace and H&R springs will be fitted soooooooooooooon!

I bought new TPI locking bults for my BBS Wheels.

 

[STCCEdition]

Need help!

My taillights are leaking water and moisture and Renault are not covering the "damages" so i was thinking of buying some need "LED" lights...

Found these for 80 euro but they seem to fit on the Mk3 the older version not the facelift version that i have,, but can they still work on my car? Here is a picture of them on a awesoooome clio and the link of them on ebay!





The link to the lights:

[DanEdser]

mk3's have same rear light fittings AFAIK mate, they should be alright!

plus theyre only 60 euro

Dont know mate,, ive been looking around on some websites and they say "doesnt fit facelift" but they do have the same shape and everything.. dont know.. i live in sweden so its kind of difficult if i buy them from ebay and they arrive to me and it ends up that they do not work right on my car..

If these will fit my car,, is it the same plug-in or do i need to make some custom-made thing haha! ?

What is "AFAIK" mean? hehe


Best Regards mate!,

AfAIK as-far-as-I-know

Light hole is the same, wiring different between the phases ithink

Oh okay!

Dont want to do some custom-made wiring all by my self.. i want to buy lights that would fit my car right away.. but ive been looking everywhere!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Surely has to be some kits out there, it could work.

Im only saying the wiring is different, as some one on here has a 197, retro fitted 200 rear
lights ( same as yours ) and had to adapt the wiring to suit.
