15 inch wheels are the best for a clio bud. Lower it. (cheap as chips on a mk2) and colour code it. If its black, why not paint the wheels black and go for a proper stealth look?


Matta 88 you have taste my boy!

 

[GarethM]

agree with dan ^^^

and dont go any bigger than 16" if you're thinking of changing the wheels!!

any pics?

 

[rob_16vclio]

not to sound a total looser but im not up to all this do u mean colour coded bumpers ? and how much to lower ? im from swinly near wigan park and 2 mins from town centre

 

[f0xy]

ah not that far from where i live, im just on the opposite side of the town center....il keep an eye out if your gona be changing bits round on it...

colorcoding is just painting the grey plastic on the car to black to match the paintwork, like matta 88 has done on his sidestrips^^

It's Phase 2.
Colour coding is exactly what it says, making the car all one colour (so theres no nasty black plastic bits any more) Colour coding looks loads better.

 

[rob_16vclio]

how much around wil it cost to lower ? and would putting a small box on the exaust be a baad idea ?

 

[f0xy]

depends if you just want to lower it on springs, or get coilovers which are basically shocks and springs that are adjustable height wise...

springs = £80 +
coilovers = £450 +


exhaust would be nice if it wasnt too loud or big...

 

[Dan@SJM]

get a nice sounding exhaust, ktec do some good exhausts or a custom... get a cat back. lower it 60mm, or lower if you can afford coilovers. look for JLO 's dynamique.

 

[Matta_88]

ive got a bbox on mine and its done me proud so far! not to loud either imo..

lol cheers mate, i made it out of a sticker i had laying about!.


The backbox is moderately loud mate quite roary, as apposed to the usual fly in a bean can effect after market exhausts small engined clios usually have.!!!

 

[rob_16vclio]

whats a price tag on one of them and will it improve the bhp like some do or am i completely wrong there lol

Best thing you can do mate, is attend your local cliosport meet. get to know the other members on the forum.. pick up some ideas from their cars and start building your whip

also search on the forum for modified 1.2 clios.. theres loads on here...

this was mine

think it was a 2 foot renault sport sticker mate lol
The backbox was about £180 fitted and they built some piping back to the cat which was a tad wider in bore so probably increased performance minimally tbh
