Renault Clio 182
Day off today and crap weather so can't be outside tinkering so thought i might aswell start a thread on my car also going to try and start being a more active member so thought this would be a good place to start haha!!
This is my racing blue 182 which i bought at the start of this year (actually bought it on january 1st) to treat myself as a new year present and i joined the forum just shortly before as i was looking to buy one.
So here is a couple of pics of the day i picked it up.

As you can see it is just a full fat spec with the only modification being the scorpion resonated catback system and drilled and grooved discs fitted all round that way i could put my own touches on it rather than buying an already modified one. And also with the hope this will have been less abused than a modified one. So onto the changes! First being this sticker.
Seems like one of the most popular mods on here, i then decided after maybe a month that i wanted abit more noise from the car so i then purchased a non resonated centre pipe and a ktec induction kit. Once fitted you could tell straight away they made a huge difference in sound especially at 5000rpm! Also while fitting my induction kit i cleaned up the engine bay(inlet still needs painting) so here is a before and after.
Then i debadged the rear and put the updated renault sport badge on. Looks so much cleaner!
I managed to then source a few interior bits that had been flocked which i think makes the interior look a little less french haha!
Then came the private plates!
So that brings us right upto about now how it currently is! I have done a few smaller bits which include rear led reverse lights,led number plate light ,chrome indicator bulbs and some "RS-182" decals for the sideskirts. I have also put a powerflex gearbox mount which has transformed the gear changes and changed the gearbox oil a couple weeks back so that all feels great now!
Almost forgot my most reason purchase that i picked up last week, a set of speedline turinis which are going to the powdercoaters in the next couple of days so they should look great when on!
