engine bay looks nice Adam im just waiting for my hose covers to turn up as well.

i prefere the anthracite interior nice choice.

Cheers guys, yea it was the set off ebay.

Any ideas what the paint code is for that colour??

that looks really good actually! :thumbup1:

I love the interior. I could do with doing something to mine like this, the previous owner (it was the bloody Renault Leicester used car sales manager's car before I bought it) has cleaned the dash with something that has left nasty marks all over it! And they won't come off!

On a more important note, where did you get the stickers on the passenger side dash strip from, I really want some! Both the previous and new ones look good! We should organise meet up at some point with other West Mids folk, I'm not far from you, just the other side of Wolverhampton.

Thanks for the comments all, have a few more things on the way after being paid today

The sticker on the black strip I had made for me by someone who works with vinyl, sent him the design and he cut them for me. I had about 20 of them, but I've lost the rest

The one on the the new strip is there from factory I believe in the new 200's? It's more printed than a sticker, sure you could replicate it though...

That's a shame! I'd really like one. Going to try and get one made somehow.

Bit of a change today!

During: :001_unsure:

After:

Was dark by the time I finished so couldn't get any decent pics, but have the day off tomorrow so will pop out and get some if I have time.

Must be a Clio thing working in the dark just took my cup wing off for spraying tomoro.
Good work ,how long dit it take to take the front bumper cover off.

Yea, upgraded to some projector lamps finally. Was too dark to get pics though at the end

The bumper came off in about half an hour, but the whole thing took about 4 hours to do!

 

[mradam87]

Got a few pics earlier, light was bad again though

 

[Foxspeed]

[stormbringer]

[BenW]

I just changed to projectors 2 weeks back, makes a massive difference to the look doesn't it.

Definitely need to get some HIDs in them though, they're fantastic

They look much better yea, I do have a 6k HID kit to fit into them, but I ran out of time and daylight to do them when I put the lights in.

Need to try and attempt to fit them without taking the bumper off again though cause I really can't be bothered!

 

[bm147]

hi mate, do you mind if i ask where you got them from and how much you paid?

Also how easy was it to fit the spoiler and what did it entail?

 

[Arran]

That looks so much better! I hate the standard headlights! lol! They really do transform the look of the car. Its looking really good now, that spoiler is very nice too! I love albi blue, was my second choice of colours after red when I was buying a 197.

Got them from here mate http://www.allpartssouthwest.com/acatalog/Special_Offers__CLIO_Mk4_09_2005__664.html

Fantastic service, they came next day and were really well packaged.

I had the spoiler fitted by a local garage, so not sure what it entailed.

Thanks Arran, I'm loving them and they are so much brighter at night already with some Philips Vision + bulbs in! HID's next...
