What Do You think i should do

[Stu_c]

I want to change what the rear of my car looks like as i aint happy with it but not sure what do. here is a pictures of my car currently and also my options:

1: Keep Current Exhaust and get 172 Bumper
--
2: Get this Exhaust http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=356
and a 172 Bumper
--
3: Get this Exhaust http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1724&pic=1 and 182 or a trophy rear Bumper
--
4: Or Leave as it is

Sorry but that bumper is shocking.

I think the 182 bumper with the 182 exhausts are nice but yours is not a 182 so i would get rid of your exhaust and go for the 172 bumper

Just found out you have mk2 ph1 please dont get a 182 as that will not go at all just go for mk1 172 rear bumper

 

[Stu_c]

what and keep the exhaust i got?

 

[msa197]

Option 2 IMO, as the 182 has a different front end and will just look completly WRONG

You could get a Mk2 172 bumper?

 

[Middo]

you need a V6 spoiler to even it up

 

[Stu_c]

so your saying get a 172 bumper and keep my original exhaust

 

[T3RRY]

Go for a mk2 172 rear bumper with a v6 spoiler and try and have a exhaust you cant see other i think it looks tacky with exhausts showing on clios unless its a 182.

With the rear mk2 bumper will it look like a mk2 ph2 172 but you will then have to get front as well i think to match.

If you want 172 style why not buy a mk2 ph2 1.2/1.4 172 replica some really nice ones on here.

 

[Stu_c]

whats the difference between the mk1 172 bumper to the standard mk2 Ph1 clio Bumpers?

 

[Middo]

^ slightly deeper, id fit a spoiler and then see what your current bumper looks like before changing it

 

[Gaz_]

get rid of them god awful lights :dead:

 

[T3RRY]

Yea get ph2 rear lights and RSi spoiler i have one looks great similar to 172 i think :approve:

 

[Stu_c]

i like that lights i wasnt asking about the light i got some ph2 lights if i want them anyway

 

[T3RRY]

Ok sorry mate it wasabout your bumper but i just had to say about the lights aswell.

I have the original front and rear bumper from a mk2 ph1 but just got a full colour code on my clio.

Why dont you just do that.

 

[Stu_c]

because i have got cliosport style side skirts on it and i thought the cliosport bumper are a little lower than original ones

 

[Middo]

Is the RSi rear spoiler not the same as the one he has on the car?

 

[Stu_c]

i got a cliosport 182 spoiler atm

so to get this straight what bumper do u think i should get lol

 

[Middo]

is that not pretty much identical to the RSi spoiler then lol.

 

[Stu_c]

think so
so should i get a mk1 172 bumper or a mk2 172 bumper

 

[Middo]

if u're gonna pay money for a bumper get a mk2 172 one, although i reallly dont think u need one. i think u should keep the current bumper and get a bigger spoiler

 

[Stu_c]

i just think it looks to bland now may be its because i aint used to it

 

[Middo]

upto u matey, i like it but just think its too deep for a relativly small spoiler

Ugly Car

 

[Stu_c]

dont some ppl really just p**ss you off wen u ask for advice on what to do and they come bk saying stuff like that

 

[GinandGasoline]

i like the lights..... in all honesty the bumper looks a bit too smooth (i'm guessing that you've smoothed in something to the bottom section of the bumper and i think it's this thats affecting the looks.....

i think a 172 bumper is the way to go but wouldn't mind seeing the bumper at a couple of different angles. i like the current exhaust though

 

[Stu_c]

What 172 Mk1 Or Mk2

 

[GinandGasoline]

What 172 Mk1 Or Mk2

doh, yeah sorry, i meant to add Mk2

 

[Stu_c]

so all in favour of 172 bumper

 

[MrStabby]

Got a Ph1 172 bumper for sale, has a cut out for a prospeed exhaust. If ya want it let me know. But as others as said, the rear seems too smoothed. And don't worry about Alex's comments, he does it in every thread.

 

[lusty v-tec]

I love the lights so keep them on.

It needs a spoiler of some kind becuase the rear looks "bald", so a spoiler will sharpen it up and add some style

The rear bumper should be changed or modified. I doesnt have any style at all and has no curves. Instead just looks like a solid peice of plastic has been stuck over the original or something.

You could consider a duplex exhaust, so keep the one now and add an extra one going over the other side with the recess cut out for the tail, as you've done on the left.

That should make it more stylish without spending loads of money on new bumpers etc.

 

[Stu_c]

yeah i agree i f**ked the back up on it and i aint afraid to say it, i love the front and the sides but just not the rear bumper.

Some other pictures

So you all think a mk2 172 bumper would go well with the rest

 

[Craig]

yep a mk2 172 bumper would look good

 

[Stu_c]

cheers
