Renault Clio IV Tuning by Elia Teased

The new Clio supermini is a practical yet handsome little runabout. It’s got hidden rear door handles, an imposing grille with LEDs and arching lines. But that even though Renault is offering plenty of customization options, that might not be enough for some people, who are likely going to go straight to Elia AG for some aftermarket goodies.

The cosmetic package will be fully revealed at the upcoming 2012 Essen Motor Show in Germany, which will start at the end of December.

This simple teaser photo shows just how the Clio evolved: bolt-on front apron, rocker panels and likely the same treatment round the back. Down the side, the car gets some snazzy new alloy wheels, likely a sized 18-inch with low profile tires.

Elia will also tune up the turbocharged engines, and they’ve always been masters of in-your-face exhausts. But well have to wait until December to see the car.
