Get the carbon bonnet sprayed, it doesn't look right on a Clio, plus it'll be steathier too. Good choice though, they're good cars.

love these!! serious cars to handle, they just don't give up in corners at all! i sold a 182 recently and i was sorry to see it go, i'll get a 172 some day when one pops up. looks really good in yellow, i'd leave the bonnet and get a carbon bootlid also.
the 182 i had has no problem taking care of type r civics or integras. love the grunt out of them and they're not slow at all! lots of torque too, press d boot in any gear and you're away!
good luck with it :)

Bet it wouldn't beat my type R he he he.

That looks smart mate, like that colour alot on them Renaults. Dont like the carbon bonnet though.

What you looking to use it for as your getting a cage?

Not trying to start anything here, so please, im just stating a fact. A JDM ITR has 20BHP more and weighs 20KG more then the clio. The right driver behind an ITR(JDM) will pull past with no problem at all. I know i cane the hell out of 182's. A 182 would not beat any type R in a straight line. Very much on par with EK9 stock and EP3's.

From my experience the 182 was exactly the same speed as my EK when it was stock and full interior and an ITR is a fair amount quicker then stock EK9.

dont get me wrong im not saying every type r or anything,just the ones he mentioned.

i can see why people wouldnt like carbon on a clio (before i bought it id proberly of thought the same),aswell as the colour but i like it,which is why im guna keep it and improve/alter the car to my taste :)

not that i need to justify it but the cage wont be bought straight away,but i will definetly track the car in the future,once my coilovers are here,and been r/r'd ect.

That looks sweet. Loving the carbon bonnet, don't paint it as carbon is gorgeous and looks good with the dark wheels

Car looks mint. Needs to be abit lower for my liking.

A carbon tailgate would look nice with the black bonnet and the cage you have planned

haha, cheeky.

Yeah a clio with 200BHP would be fast. I went against one with 192BHP dyno proven and was quite impressive compared to stock ones. Still, had no problem taking him :drive:
