The new car.. Stanced thing again

A grey one
Goodbye grey! It's fairly dark inside the car now which I love, it all ties in together and isn't 50 shades of grey anymore.
cheeky.
My mk5 Golf GTI interlagos seats, custom frames to fit directly into only a clio <3
I was going to do the door cards in the same plaid material but at £80 a metre or only available in rolls of 100metres from the US... I gave it a miss.

Picked these up tonight, got a whole bodykit in the back of the clio, proud of Piérre.

Got bored.. Decided this was a good idea.. Before you say I've been bodgey..
My bumper is absolutely nakkered, the rear insert has had all the clips cut out of the back so it just sorta sits in, with glue.. (Was like this before I got it) .. So I just sprayed over it.. And my new bumper is in the garage so it's temporary although this will be happening to the new one cause I like it
And to be fair.. It came out pretty well. I love it!

Can you say overspray? :rasp:
Looks good though, the interior is awesome! Can you get some more shots of it?

Yes you may
tbh there isn't a lot!thanks, well yes if I have any but currently no, it was used as a removal van last weekend and is in a total state, also got my front grille missing, half my splitter missing, poor thing!

Aaah that's alright, mine hasn't seen a hoover in 5 months lol get some up!!!!
Oh and what material did you use for the headlining?
A grey one
They look super comfy! Did they cost much? (I'm not going to copy you, don't worry lol)
A grey one
They're ~£350+ , incredibly comfy though, really hug you, not good for chubby people mind!
mk6 gti ones are heated, wanted those but almost impossible to get them to work
A fair amount then! I suppose it doesn't matter if you're happy with them.
A grey one
not the cheapest but not the most, could've got recaro CS's but they're a tight squeeze!
Thankyou!Brilliant project, everything looks awesome! Was it quite an easy job to do the rear bumper? Seen it on another clio and now seeing yours has made me want to do it even more
Yeah dead easy, was gonna do it in plastidip but don't mind going wrong on this bumper cause it's going in the bin next month anyway! Just mask it off neatly, sand it down with wet and dry, primer it, Matt black it, done

Might give this a go on my current bumper so when I get my 172 bumper I don't mess it up lol! Thanks very much!

So.. The car hasn't been cleaned for a while, lost the love, bits falling off everywhere (rear bumper strip!) and won't be worthy of my love until it's been to see the bodyshop man and it's all freshly painted!
I also decided I wanted 16" wheels.. So I sold my turinis and bought my new ones..
bye bye turinis, I miss you already!
Meanwhile in Lincolnshire...... THE SUN CAME OUT!! I took advantage by giving the car it's first ever polish and wax!
i cleaned the worst of it off in town whilst I was there, by the time I got home- 15 miles later.. It was already covered in salt and it was nice and warm outside so I decided to give it a decent thorough clean for once!
and tried on my show wheels, can't wait for them to go on!
I also made this retarded little collage thing whilst I was bored of my three babies! <3
Thanks for lookingggg

It's looking good lauren, not as good as that arrow you had many moons ago though
A grey one
The arrow was an absolute minter I have no idea what you're on about...and the bright pink mari
Thanks lovely, just doing finishing touches on the interior and then I'll start showing people the outside when it doesn't look like a Piece of sh**e :')Only just seen this.
Coming along nicely
I've been looking at the updates on Facebook but only just read the thread on here. I didn't realise how much progress you had made so far, great work keep it up
The dash looks fantastic but I hope your passenger airbag is disabled (or never has to go off). Is the alcantara type material you got off eBay 'black' in colour? Or one of the greys? I fancy doing my roof lining to match the A-pillars which Austin did but am having a hard time finding a match to the standard dark grey colour.

Yeah I try to keep certain details off Facebook because you end up getting unimaginative idiots copying you so I'm trying to keep as much quiet as I can until it's a finished piece. Thankyou
yeah it's all turned off, my seats aren't connected either so I'm gonna have to sort something for my MOT as they're not gonna like that much!
It is... "Black" looks purple to me in the sunlight but I made sure I ordered alot so I had pillars, Door cards, roof lining, dash.. All in the exact same material.

Updates are looking good!
Are we allowed to know what the 'show wheels' are?

Visit Mick or someone with clip. Seat airbags can be disabled in the airbag ecu which will turn the lights off.
I had the opposite done when I went from cup to sport interior.

sweet! Thankyou

Mod nats panic.. Pic heavy!
Okay, so I've been a little quiet for a while because I've just moved out and started a new career as an apprentice painter!
The car had been put to the back of my mind until I realised modified nationals was slowly creeping closer, this has always and always will be my favourite car show and I really wanted the clio to make it there so, this is how I did it, a few updates, a few teary eyed moments and it still has such a Long way to go yet and I'm sure many changes will happen but I was rushing and it did get there eventually!
I bought all my bumpers from a member on here and I couldn't afford to get them painted until I started my new job, so I ran around with them blue for a while, I think my new landlord was a little shocked when I turned up in the quiet, pretty posh village that I had moved to in this heap...
So after a few days of settling in, I started pulling the poor thing apart.
Oh, then I sold these.. Which were the wheels I had been trying on and faffing about with, turns out I couldn't be bothered to polish them up from bare metal so I just sold them, and made a profit, All for a good cause.... My new wheels!
Which arrived shortly after my birthday... (20 days til modnats).
So I ordered new tyres, got them fitted and stored them... In my new living room!
Whilst this was all happening, I was busy at work, learning. Oh and doing my own stuff!
I learnt damn fast and I smoothed, repaired, prepped, primed and painted my bumpers and wings, painted my side skirts, side strips, bullets, door handles and interior bits too.
I built it all back up the night before the show and I still didn't have my side skirts on, but the rest was on including some xenons and a few other touches, a damn good clean, a damn good hoover and I was starting to get a bit happier with it although it was miles off how I wanted it to sit!
So the next day after work, I set off.. Half way my lambda sensor sheared itself off the weld and I made some new friends...
Tim the AA man.. And jack; His trusty friend.
Finally after some bodging and fixing i got there- late. Too late, so I had to camp outside the main gates. What a nightmare, I got into the top 50 surprisingly and everyone seemed to like it more than in photos but I still wasn't happy with it and now have a lot left to do, I was just proud that it made it there and that hard work and plenty of stress got me there eventually!
More updates soon..
Next plans are to smooth the boot handle and clio badge off, lower it, new suspension, figure out how to fit my damn side skirts, paint all grey bits gloss black and.. Obviously... Respray it!
thanks for reading!

like the wheels!

Thankyou, erm well I'm undecided at the minute as colour change is a real ballache, but I'm considering something candy!
Thankyou
Goooood, me too, they look so big on photos though!

Looks amazing! I was thinking about this car the other day, been waiting for an update for a while
Looks great! Those wheels really change the look of the car
