Accessorise your Clio

One of the most popular vehicle segments that has slowly shrunk away over the last few years, the B-segment hatchback, has been replaced by the B-SUV. Although the small hatchback is being replaced by the small SUV, many people still prefer the family hatch and the convenience it has on offer.

If you do opt for one of the remaining models, such as the Renault Clio, you may want to personalize or add a few more features to make it yours. We take a look at some of the official Renault-supported aftermarket fitment items that you can get directly from the French manufacturer.

1. Branded floor mats

Keep the original carpeting inside your car clean and clear with a set of rubberised floor mats that keep dirt and grime out and all the style in. Keeping your carpet in good condition maintains the value of your car when it comes time to trade it in.

2. Branded sill plates

You may not realise it but every time your enter or exit your car you drag your shoes across the sill creating micro scratches which accumulate over time . This can be prevented by fitting a set of sill covers emblazoned with the vehicle model of choice.

3. Authorised Tow bar

The Renault Clio does not have a tow-bar fitted as standard from the showroom floor, but allowance has been made to have one fitted by an official aftermarket installer. Tow your favorite toys in style with an authorised towbar solution.

4. Interior armrest

Once you have driven a car that has a centre armrest you become acutely aware of its absence when you no longer have a place to put your elbow while whiling away your time in traffic. The Clio does not have one as standard but you can get an original Renault piece to support your wayward elbow.

5. Welcome home lighting

Another feature that can be added post-purchase is a welcome home lighting system. This illuminates the underside of the skirting when you approach the vehicle and deactivate the central locking allowing you to get a better view of the area around your car and makes it easier to find your wheels in the dark.
