I can not wait to be home next week and put all this in
 
Nice haul, run through all the items you have to put on?
Got Cup Rims to put on
Ultra racing front and rear struts to put on
Acoustic valve delete
Diadem globes for the sides and front
Forge Actuator to replace the stock 1
New globes for number plate lights
And got an idea to try with the headlights so will see how that goes
I will be home next week Wednesday so going to be a early start on the car
 
So while i have been home i have been a busy little bee working on the Clio.


Fitted front and rear struts to the car. Front was fairly straight forward but the rear was a bit fiddly.

While i under the bonnet also did the acoustic delete while the plastics was off.


I had ordered some lights from the UK and my brother bought them here while he was on holiday.


Changed the front indicators from the orange to the Diadem type.

Also had the Cup wheels fitted on the car. While they where busy balancing the tyres they told me that 2 of the tyres where damaged. So had to replace the tyres. So bought a set of Yokohama S drive.

That is what has been done since been home.
C&c welcome
 
Looks great Matty. Love the silver with the new wheel colour, really works well. Not many silver 200 T's around. Good work.

Silver compliments this shape as much as any colour I've see....

Wheel colour looks lovely. What shade is it ?
 
Looks really good that!

Thoughts on the strut braces?
I can feel the difference in the rear for sure, definetly more planted around the corners. All I need to do now is do the under car struts and it be a beast in the corners.
Sevenforate it is gun metal silver with silver flack to make it pop a bit.
 
Definitely needs bracing. You can feel the flex, and hear the rubber seals squeaking around the tailgate after sealing the paint. I guess that's the trade off of 5 doors not 3! What's the result of the acoustic delete? I have a few sets of caps, so have a spare going if anyone wants them for a small fee?

While I was still at work I ordered a front splitter ordered and done in carbon dip. Then when home had it installed.

It came out really well and happy with the new look at the front.

Also I have been playing around with the idea of getting the RS cup wing. Having looked into it it was just way to expensive and difficult to get. But while looking around came across a 2nd choice. So got in contact with the company in Malaysia and the order was placed. It arrived just before I got back to work.

Cant wait to have it done up and installed to see what the end result will be.
 
It is a very bold spoiler on the mk 4 , but I think on the right car they can look really good!
 
In all honesty it could be. I bought it via a company here in South Africa. They also did the carbon dipping as well for me
