Update to *another clio on grids* +colour change+

[clioboy16v]

Ok so just a quick update, had a impulse to repaint the clio in a different colour and do a bit of smoothing/tidying up (car park dents galore!).

So the purists won't like it and I know iv ruined a good car etc etc but it's just a work horse to me, and I suppose it's all down to personal taste. Basically it's cost me £140 to do all my own paintwork + the following;

Used carbon bonnet flatted and re-cleared 6x - looks stunning now
carbon splitter carbon
carbon mirrors
Semi flush boot
cup spoiler (676)
Roof (676)
front grill (676)
full dip in the new R8 Suzuka Grey ... It's not white lol

Thats about it really, the rest I've probably done before the colour change.

Anyway, here's some turd iPhone pics to laugh at

Also , if anybody can show me where to get a "full size" front reg I would be über gratefull

 

[McGherkin]

Everything looks good but the fact that your numberplate is in your windscreen and the smoothed tailgate just looks weird. IMO.

 

[clioboy16v]

I ran out of sticky pads for the front but I'm gonna leave it off till I can find one of the long plates, not sure where to find them tho.

Is it a 172?

Suzuka Grey is an amazing colour but I don't think it works on the Clio.

 

[Keenan172]

personally i would have put the bonnet white and cup spoiler with just the roof black, but everyone has different tastes

all in all car looks great

 

[clioboy16v]

Yeh it's a 172, I painted some parts for a R8 on the Monday and fell in love with the colour so just went with it. Looks alot better in the flesh if I'm honest . Going to get my pal Stu to take some proper pics.

I quite like it.

 

[clioboy16v]

Im in the process of getting a cup spoiler made in carbon and a buddy's making a carbon roof skin when I pester him enough so it was more to see how the black flowed over the car. Also got a carbon rear trim/front badge/carbon fog surrounds on route.
I know there just bits of fibreglass to replace plastic but I have a addiction lol

I'm not a fan of the bonnet, but the rest of the car looks bloody brilliant I think. Good to see a change from the usual turinis, etc (Yes, I'm guilty of being a sheep!).

For the plates do you mean www.fancyplates.com ?

 

[clioboy16v]

Yeh Danith that's the place , just about to order .

Generall verdict is 520mmx84mm ? Agreed ?

 

[Scrooge]

Looks good, just not a massive fan of carbon.

 

[marsh942]

I quite like it.

something a bit different! colour is lovely and the wheels set it off!
good effort if you ask me
just the reg plate issue but thats all

520 x 90 I did, fills the gap perfectly. And the carbon bonnet is actually growin on me! Love the boot/black spoiler and roof tho

 

[alexr19]

personally i think fair play for doing something abit different and making it work!

love all of it bar the boot being semi flush. but thats just my opinion. gorgeous car!

 

[Gally]

Shame it's not all Grey. Would have looked fresher.

Haha, When you return my jet wash bonny lad :rasp:


**Oh, and did you find that rear wiper arm for me?**

 

[uk300matt]

liking that buddy.
love them wheels too,sooo suit the clio imo.

 

[Martin_172]

nice to see something a bit different, looks brilliant.

for some reason i think it needs something done with the rear lights, possibly ph1 clusters or a very light tint on your current ones just to take the sharpness of them

 

[HANDSOME RICH]

Sorry no likely no lightey, not a fan of carbon bonnets but that's just me I'm getting old I suppose, love the wheels though different to seeing turinis and suchlike...

 

[.GAZ.]

If the roof/spoiler was the same colour, I'd love it.

 

[Kieran..]

Yeaa agree should be all grey and would look 10x better

 

[dalejenga]

looks amazing, good work

 

[Christopher]

I really like that!

The only things that don't work for me are the shortened rear plate recess and the fake wheels... it'd be so much cooler with genuines.
