So gave her a wash today so got a couple of quick snaps before the rain started, (excuse the crappy i phone quality).





Also managed to fit my Exon hoses and Black Diamond covers. The C L I O will be coming off tomorrow as it looks stupid, just ran out of time tonight and my fingers were frozen to the bone.

Update: 9/3/13
Excuse the crappy picture quality, not got a proper camera yet and am awful at taking pics

So not had an update on my progress thread for a while, so heres a couple of pics of what iv been doing to my 197 over the past month or so..

First of all, One of my best mates works at a local Renault garage and has boy racers clio's getting traded in regularly One was traded in and the lad had carbon wrapped his dash strips and center console, I was planning on wrapping mine anyway so we just swapped the dash strips over with my standard silver ones, so that saved a few bob , Never got the center console as his boss was floating about and wouldn't have been best pleased if he seen us pinching parts off another car haha


Next was to get the center silencer removed , Was qouted 40 pound, I thought that was a fair price so ended up getting it done. Love the little pops and crackles you get changing gear or letting off the throttle. Flat spot isnt the best . 197 is booked in for the 23rd of april to get mapped and rolling road'ed, been told a map can get rid of the flat spot so fingers crossed


Got to pay my tax at the end of march so i thought this sticker was suitable due to the state of the roads! :@


Also got a 64mm TB off the for sale thread, fitted it last saturday and didnt really see much of a difference. Was planning on taking the TB off and just putting my standard 60mm back on as the revs bouncing up and down was doing my head in and i wasnt seeing a difference. Decided to give it a couple more days to see if the ECU would adjust to the biggger TB and it has . Seems like the ECU has finally got to grips with the TB as the revs sit just under 1000rpm or just over when cold. See a difference in low range revs iswel, feels more respnsive. Seems to have eased the flat spot a tad also .

Washed it last night so decided to get a couple of pics..




Thats all for now, Next on the list will be..
-Spacers (not eniterly sure what size yet)
-Projectors
-Roof vinyl wrapped black
-Diffuser painted Gloss Black

Along with the re-map that i mentioned above, Will get a pic of the graph once its done and show you what kind of power shes got

All comments and suggestions welcome

Another little update, Just bought these wheels tonight for track days.



Looking for opinions wether to use these for track days or use my black raiders for track days?

Saw these wheels earlier, pretty smart! I'd stick them on for track days and keep the black and red theme! Looks good!

Just a small update..

Not much been happening on the clio front recently as have been paying off a holiday, so just been keeping her clean and enjoying her really.

Firstly my work mate used to own a meg and had bought mats off the net but had never used them so decided to give them to me free of charge not genuine but will do until i get genuine ones



Finally got round to spraying my center caps gloss black to match my wheels, been meaning to do it for months after i got my wheels refurbed and powdercoated but finally found the time to do them..



And lastly is just some of the forum stickers finally on the car thanks to Roy!



Here's a couple of photo's of how she is sitting at the moment..





Have ordered 19mm spacers and a set of projectors so should hopefully be there next week . C&C welcome

Watch the white bits on your mats. Had them in my last car and wet feet makes them go brown and horrible. Not easy to clean either. Cars looking good mate. Mines looks not far off identicle yours. Apart from I've got anthracite wheels and no wind deflectors.

 

[LukeRS]

I like the red/black theme.

 

[RicheyRoo]

Finally got myself a set of projectors! xenon ones too, got them in the for sale section so thanks again to Chinny 375, Will hopefully get them fitted tomorrow or later this week will get pictures up once there on

 

[RicheyRoo]

So fitted my xenon projectors today , Got a couple of photo's, Girlfriend got her audi not too long ago and decided she wanted to get a picture of hers too, so got a few pics of the two of them together..















Spacers are next on the list, Will hopefully be here tomorrow or friday and get them fitted on saturday if this good weather keeps up

 

[RicheyRoo]

Another update, My 19mm spacers came today, managed to get them fitted tonight, got 19mm as i think 25mm is too much IMO.

Before


And After






Thanks for looking

Quick question was looking to debadge the clio from my car too but I looked and it looks like it is pressed into the boot? is this true or are my eyes just playing tricks on me? haha

[Rogue]

The clio lettering? It'll be fine to remove.

The diamond does has a push button yah.

Yeah like Rogue has already said it'll be fine, its just glued on, just pull them off then remove excess glue thats left on car and give it a good polish
