    Stereo Installation

    The Alpines were just two sets of cheap 2 way types. SXE-1325s. They need some trimming around the mounting lugs to fit the strange Clio 2 prong mounting method. I think these would still be fine in the rear 3/4's as a general fill in - probably £25 or so. I've just made a further mod that has...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Maybe I did something wrong then?. I have the other two engine mounts done and the gearbox mounting. They definitely add significant levels of NVH / Buzzing to the trim but the third (mid) engine mount for me was a no-no. I could not have put up with that everyday!. Track or racecar it would...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    I had the same trouble fitting the middle engine mount. Eventually got it to go in far enough to put the mount back on the car. The resulting vibration was truly awful. I took it straight back off and it went in the bin!. I think the issue is that all the others still retain a smidge of...

    Stereo Installation

    Forgot a couple of other details!. You obviously need an amp wiring kit - only about £20 from ebay or Amazon with positive / ground / trigger and phono cables. I took a power feed for the amp from a large connector behind the left hand side of the glovebox as you look forwards with it removed...

    Stereo Installation

    The clio speakers are a strange mounting with just two lugs (as i'm sure you know). I had to cut two lugs off the Alpine speakers and trim the remaining ones down quite a bit to get them to fit. Made them more 'pointy'. It was also important to make a kind of foam gasket under the outer rim of...

    Stereo Installation

    Thought I could perhaps help anyone wanting to make a big difference to their Clio Stereo system for relatively not too much money. I have moved to a Clio 200 from a Merc A35 AMG. The Merc was a company rented car and during the CV19 crisis had only done 2000 miles in the year I had it. As such...

    Aerial swap for DAB

    Few questions if you dont mind. Does it do FM as well?. Do you have to buy the extension cables to get to the front? If so , what did you get?. Looks good by the way! Whats the best way to get access to fit it?

    Aerial swap for DAB

    Has anyone swapped the standard fit aerial for a DAB version?. I have changed the headunit for a Pioneer DAB one but the front windscreen mounted aerial that was supplied is hopeless in my area. No signal at all on my drive and not even great out on the main roads near home. I've done a similar...

    SG200

    Do you have a picture of this that you mentioned above in the thread please: - New lower subframe brace bolts, nuts and tabs. I removed my box section cross brace thingy when fitting the lower engine mount upgrade and then stupidly knocked what i think you are referring to up into the...

    Clock setting with aftermarket stereo fitted

    Warning! New owner dumb question... Is there any way to adjust the Renault central clock display when you have removed the standard stereo unit and fitted an aftermarket headunit?. My car doesn't have the 2 upper buttons and was (i think) set using the original stereo. Having removed the...
