which clio dash??

[Mr 5]

not verry specific, 16v/williams shape dash

i know ashy's done the 172 conversion,just while mines off the road getting a valver dash and all the interior plastics flocked,just abit different

[phase i 16 v turbo]

The chap from TTS did one years ago. Not sure how much work it took, but looked good.

I've done a clio 16v dash at the beginnig of the year,

To make the stalks fit and ignition barrel you should use a clio steering colum as its slightly longer however i just kept the gt colum and had a pain in the arse task of fittng the ignition and stalks.

overall the job is not to hard but will need the switches and will need to extend the loom and switches to fit aprt from the window switches which are the same

It didnt take me a week nor did it take me a year but take your time to get it right:agree:

You mean he was on the wrong side of the dash when he fitted it? :scared:

I dont know why but a while back I called carisma and got them to quote me for a few things and one of these was a 16v clio dash. With them supplying it as well they quoted me £900. This was over a year ago so I am sure that you should be able to get someone local to do it for you for less than half that.

[dgdogz]

wow
quite a bit then

i probably could find someone...have to see bout gettin a dash 1st though

You can pick them up really cheap. Apparently this is not a hard job but very time consuming so most of the cost is labour.

just a couple of questions, do you need a Clio heater matrix, and is the loom plugs compatible with the Clio instrumentation, do you still use the 5 loom or Clio loom, as much help would be really appreciated.

Any links to pictures and progress would be useful also.

Thanks
