DCi 100
Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
All DCi's have a turbo, all of them do pretty well with a remap aswell much better than you'd expect from the sort of gains you get with petrol.
Bodykit is just aload of 10mm bolts, side skirts are tricky to get the clips on etc but not that much hassle. To swap subframes like Tom's done to wider track (inch and half wider each side), will be your hardest bit as driveshafts need changing, change gearbox oil, all the alignment set up afterwards.

if swapping subframes you'll need new tie rods as well. the tie rods i got delivered with a dci rack were much shorter than the sport tie rods. alternatively you could get hub spacers and wheels with a small offset, but subframe's better for the complete finish

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
I paid about £300 for front and rear bumpers, wings and skirts. They were the right colour but I had them resprayed anyway because I wasn't happy with the finish. This cost me about another £250.
Fitting the bumpers and wings was straight forward, albeit a bit time consuming (especially the front wings!)
A popular mod for the DCI 65 is to fit the DCI 80 front mount intercooler.
Not sure what power increases are likely from a remap but have heard good things (all turbo diesels seem to respond well)
Just out of interest how much roughly is it for the bumpers, wings and side skirts? thinking of starting a rep myself

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Only reason I went down the subframe route was because I had all the parts from the 172 I broke for parts. If I hadn't have had this I probably would have gone down the spacer route, although 30mm spacers could cause excessive wear on wheel bearings

I'm not sure mate, mine came with it all as standard.
New you're looking at £100's - might be worth having a look on here www.cliodci.net

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Finally got around to fitting the washer jets - not bothered about having them plumbed in to work as they'll just leak anyway!
Comparison with a standard clio washer jet
Finally fitted!
Also fitted a set of 6k HID's as well and removed the side light bulbs. Got a set of silvervisions arriving this week
And how she stands at the moment - excuse the dirt!

Finally got around to taking the dealer/elf stickers out the rear window too!
My rear wiper motor is fucked but not sure whether to fit the spare I bought or de-wiper it (I did like the cleaner look when I de-wipered my 182)???

Touch wood, hasn't skipped a beat. Done approx 25k in 12 months and all I have had to is service it and replace a track rod end

Great looking car.
I may actually fit my 172 bumper now instead of selling it after seeing the difference side by side
