Ultra Red 197



Tyler@Ultimate

Tyler@Ultimate

Hello,
Thought I would post up a project of my new car
Old 182 project thread can be found here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?515781-RB-182-project&highlight=
Bought my 197 around 4 weeks ago and I love it, big improvement from the 182 I feel.
First thing I did was to get the wheels done in back to start my Red/Black combo

Second step was to do the mirrors, Got my brother to wrap these just incase I wanted them back to red.
Turn out really nice

Next was to fit my Cup Spoiler which I done this morning
Really sets the back of the car of, really happy with it (apart from Renault build quality)

Painted the Renault Sport bit in black to go with the theme.

Really prefer these with the rear spoiler and the better exhausts than the one's you've got. Without the spoiler i think they look quite plain.

Still no Alfa pictures but I will get them after my week in Devon next week.

So got my xenon through the door Thursday, so a few hours later got started on fitting them

these lights have cornering light so wanted these slightly blue so they wouldn't look that yellow against the Xenons

after
DSC05019.jpg

Did all these at the same time I was doing the HID's as I had the lights out.
bumper off to remove the lights.

My brothers old car, he got it as an ex demo from Renault in Bradford.

Looking a lot nicer with the mods.

Re: Ultra Red 197 FF

Awesome man. Red never seems to get much recognition but combined with the black I think it looks fckin sexy.

Do want.

Really? got told it was an ex demo a few years ago, only done 34k
When did he get rid of it?

Few years back now, he was the second keeper after Renault and ran it for a few months then swapped it for a tt sport.I remember driving it and being amazed at thr grip it had for fwd without a diff.

Loks really good that mate. One of the few Clios I've seen on which black wheels don't look worse than standard.
