I have a Mk1 Clio 16v late phase 1 in 449.

This weekend I have got for it:-

New lights and indicators upfront (already fitted)
phase 3 rear lights and boot trim
Phase 2 RSI heater controls and clock
Phase 2 RSI seats and door cards (mint, couldnt beleave it with the green fleck)
Going to order a new phase 2 grill tomorrow aswell.

going to respray the wing mirrors (in sports blue) and spray all the black trim (in Black) so no more polish marks for me :)

Even thinking about giving the door card pockets a going over with grey because they always look beat up :(

Should look nice and tidy apart from the rust that has started on the passenger rear quarter :twisted:

Mk1 door trims are much better than phase 2, you have to love that wipe clean plastic lol

I've been toying with the idea now for ages to get some early ph1 trim and make mine mega old skool.

Would love it if I could get some orange indicator lenses as well.

Made a start tonight but forgot my camera so no before pics sorry.

Got the rear lights and boot trim on
rear quarter cards and all seats
Heater controls and clock but now the clock doesnt light up, think I pulled the wires a little to much as even the old clock doesnt light up now :(

Tomorrow I will fit the front cards and start to spray the black trim so it stays black with out needing to treat it all time.
