Not all car enthusiasts are happy with their cars. Someone wants to change the appearance of the car to make it more unique and noticeable on the road. Some people want to get much more comfort from the car's interior, but for others, the technical characteristics that the car provides from the factory, for example, its power, are not enough.
In this article we will talk about all kinds of tuning options for the second generation Renault Logan, popular in Russia. Let's talk about how you can improve the characteristics of a popular state employee, and also look at some real examples from photos.
What can be upgraded in Renault Logan
Before you start pumping up your iron horse yourself, you should find out as much information as possible that can help in some areas.
For example, when watching a video of Renault tuning with your own hands, you will be able to sketch out the stages of work in your mind, plus understand what can be replaced (not every part requires this).
So, Renault Logan tuning includes:
- Replacement of rear and front bumpers;
- Replacement of special thresholds;
- Installation of a new aerodynamic spoiler (serves to increase downforce at speeds exceeding 140 km;
- Replacing moldings;
- Installation of new muffler tips;
- Headlight upgrade (adding new light or functions);
- Reduced clearance by 4-7 cm;
- Installation of air collectors (necessary for cooling the engine compartment, front brake, improving ventilation of the front tires, etc.). Can be of various shapes and types;
- Replacement of side deflectors.
Brushes
Many car enthusiasts may not like the operation of windshield wiper blades. Quite often, the cleaning zone of the right brush in the upper part does not overlap the zone of the left brush. That is, there is a dirty triangle hanging ugly in the middle. When the right brush moves back from the dirty area to the cleaned surface, you can see with the naked eye that dirt begins to flow off. To get rid of this drawback, we recommend installing frameless wipers, for example, from Bosch, Denso, Champion or Alca.
Do-it-yourself modifications to Renault Logan 2 can be done quickly, but you should still have the skills to work with such tuning. When replacing frameless wiper blades, be sure to cover your car's windshield with a thick blanket. If the wiper accidentally falls under the influence of a spring, this will help maintain the integrity of the glass.
Renault Logan – tuning (options and prices)
But still, in order to make this car a little prettier, you need to buy some external tuning parts (80-100 thousand rubles, if you buy all of the following):
- Alloy wheels - always in stock, have a wide range of models for Renault Logan;
- Xenon headlights are always in stock, since they are relevant today, the price and quality depend on the country of origin, you can purchase a set separately or pay for installation;
- “Eyelashes” for headlights – usually sold as a set;
- “Angel eyes” for Logan are universal;
- Tail lights – sold in several options, such as black, chrome or LED;
- Fog lights – sold as a set, car owners consider “Prosport” to be the best of them;
- Radiator grille - you can purchase black or chrome, for example, “Berkut”, and protective grilles of a more expensive design are also sold;
- Wind deflectors and a hood deflector are sold individually and as a set (some believe that they only damage the car);
- A spoiler can be purchased from any manufacturer, but the wait for delivery of more expensive ones will take at least a week;
- A body kit in the color of a car such as the domestic whale “Galant” or the German “Mattig” includes moldings, sills, front and rear bumpers, a muffler, “eyelashes”, a spoiler and two fog lights - other configurations can also be included, but painting in color will cost you will have to pay extra for the car body;
If you don’t have enough money for a whole body kit, you should think about purchasing some parts separately, for example, sills and trims for the front and rear bumpers. And ordering from Tolyatti will cost you less.
You can buy bi-xenon headlights and do the tuning yourself or pay for installation.
If you have long dreamed of turning your Logan into a beautiful sedan, but do not know which model to focus on when tuning, our reviews and test drives will help you. Perhaps the information from this article about what the owners want to change in a similar budget sedan Lada Grante will also help you.
Rear bumper
This detail should look harmonious with the entire image of the car. In addition, the rear bumper must have a large ventilation area.
Their shape is unusual and intricate, with beautiful air vents along the edges. This will facilitate the rapid removal of air that is removed from under the bottom of the car.
The rear bumper with a large air collector is designed to pass accumulated air pressure under the car body. This design directly affects the pressure decrease as the difference increases. Attaching a new stylish rear bumper with your own hands will be problematic. It is best to contact specialists.
The bumper design includes two deflectors on the sides, which improve ventilation of the rear arch. Thanks to such parts, the rear brakes are ventilated to cool them. This allows you to reduce air turbulence under the wheel spaces of the car.
Do-it-yourself Renault Logan interior tuning
Fortunately, the Renault Logan interior is not particularly sophisticated, and many tuning accessories for universal use can be used here too.
Floor mats
You can purchase sets of mats, for example, glowing mats from PROSPORT, which will glow when used in the cabin with ultraviolet lighting. You can decorate it a little and at the same time extend the service life of existing mats with special aluminum linings that prevent them from being abraded by shoes under the control unit. In addition, you can choose covers for the pedals themselves, which will protect them from rapid wear and will give the interior a special flavor.
Four-point and six-point seat belts, belt covers
Do you like fast driving? This is for you! With such a seat belt, you won’t even feel discomfort during hard braking, and in the event of an accident, you will have a much greater chance of not getting hurt at all.
The simple seat belt cover is not only beautiful, it greatly alleviates the discomfort caused by the seat belt and is a must-have if you spend all day behind the wheel.
Sports steering wheel
You can completely replace the steering wheel of your car with a sports one. It's not just the bright colors, you'll also get a steering wheel that's ideal for handling comfort. The rough surface, ergonomic design, and often the presence of control buttons on it will make it possible to enjoy driving on any road.
You can further improve the steering wheel with the help of a clutch that allows you to quickly remove the steering wheel or adjust its stem. Steering wheel braids are available in hundreds of different options; their purpose is not only to make the appearance of the interior more memorable, as a rule, when using them, the driver receives greater comfort. Choose it as the final touch when tuning the Renault Logan interior.
Gear shift knob
The gear shift knob is one of the most striking objects in the car interior, certainly attracting attention. You can choose from a variety of handle options that not only add style thanks to the design and visual extension of the lever, but also give you the comfort you need
There are a variety of covers for pens in a variety of options; choose the color to match your interior.
Decorative frames, inserts, and other elements
All these little things at first glance help make the interior of the car individual and unique, conveying the character of the owner. An air ionizer will get rid of unpleasant odors in the cabin, you can install any audio systems to replace the standard ones, and complete flashing of the entire cabin is possible. The time when interior tuning was limited to stickers on windows and coins behind the windshield rubber is long gone; make your car special. Tuning the dashboard, instrument panels, everything is in your hands.

Inspect the door card carefully, choose a corner where there is a gap to insert your fingers in order to most conveniently begin to tear it off. Bend this corner, insert your palm into the gap formed and slowly, increasing the force, pull it towards you, overcoming the force of the latches.
how to remove the rear door trim of a Renault Logan
But it is better to replace it with a mounting blade if available. Before removing the door trim on Renault Logan, find all attachment points. To get to point 2, you need to remove the plastic cover.
Let's look at how to do this. Removing the decorative element First, take a screwdriver to pry the trim off from above. Then we go downwards, trying not to break the rivets.
At the final step, we simply move the lining outward. Two hooks are removed from the grooves, see.
The cover itself is held in place by 5 rivets. Down with another overlay. Then you have access to the screws.
They are unscrewed with a key T. The speaker itself is carefully removed from the door and its terminals are immediately disconnected. The main thing is not to mix up these terminals when turning them on again. I began to pull the trim away from the area of the triangle, where a pair of pistons snapped off, and then holding the door with one hand, with the other I grabbed the side of the door pocket and tore off the trim.
There is no mastic on the doors. The pistons, by the way, don’t break much. We lift the trim, it hangs on the side near the glass seal.
Next, disconnect the window regulator block and twist the card around the axis of the outer door handle rod to remove it.
Window lifter block Three-point mounting for official audio. On the body of the same part there is a plastic plug, which is easy to notice at its base.
Using a plastic spatula or flat-head screwdriver, pry up the plug and use a T20 bit to unscrew another self-tapping screw; however, it is not necessary to completely remove it from the compartment. The remaining third screw, which secures the door card to the metal frame, is located in the upper part of its inner end near the side glass.
To do this, you must also use a bit or a screwdriver T. At the next stage of work on dismantling the Renault Sandero door panel, you need to start releasing it from its seats. First you need to pry off the plastic door card at the bottom, which is located closer to the hood of the car.
The card is removed with a sharp movement towards you, while holding it with your hands on the sides. Replacing opening mechanisms The opening limiters of the front or rear doors of Renault Sandero are removed quite simply.
To do this, you need to unscrew the TORX 30 screws that hold their body.
Types of tuning
It's no secret that the tuning procedure not only improves the appearance, but also improves the technical characteristics of the car.
We can say that through tuning, a vehicle turns into a truly modified product of the automotive industry.
Varieties:
- technical – this type of tuning includes:
- increasing engine power parameters;
- gearbox transformation;
- chip tuning;
- modification of the car suspension.
Internal tuning is based on replacing interior elements.
External tuning consists of the following processes:
- installation of modified lighting equipment and other optics;
- installation of body kits and spoilers;
- replacing some body parts with other lightweight options;
- applying airbrushing, moldings and various overlays;
- tinting glass surfaces.
In order to visually familiarize yourself with this procedure, you can look at photographs of tuning Renault Logan and Renault Duster.
Interior tuning
It is difficult to do professional tuning of the Renault Logan interior. If you really take the issue seriously, the price of such tuning will be approximately half the cost of a standard Logan, and this is not entirely advisable. But still, you can redo the interior even with a small budget, for example, if you install a different audio system, put on beautiful covers, change the steering wheel, then all this will not cost much.
With a budget of 10,000 rubles, you can install a more powerful audio system, especially if you don’t like the standard one. A subwoofer will cost about 10,000 rubles, new speakers - 6,000, and a rear acoustic shelf - 2,000 rubles. As for the multimedia system, prices can be completely different, there is no limit, there are systems that cost more than a car.
As a rule, all the acoustics and various elements are already available, except that it will take about a week to install these systems if you take the car to a service center for them to install it.
The door sill plates with the model name look original; depending on the design, they can cost about 2,700 rubles. And for those who are not used to the fact that the car does not have an on-board computer, there is good news - it can be installed for 6,000 rubles. Also, to make the car more modern, you can install heated seats; this topic is especially relevant for those who drive a lot in the winter. For 3000 rubles it will be possible to solve this issue.
Next, in order to know exactly how much fuel is left in the tank, you can install a fuel pressure regulator with a pressure gauge; for example, such a regulator from Prosport will cost 3,000 rubles. In general, this regulator is needed in order to increase engine power by pumping more fuel into the cylinders. But this is true for really powerful engines. For Renault Logan, this pressure regulator is purely for beauty.
For those who will allocate 100,000 rubles for body tuning
The most expensive interior finishing job is reupholstering the interior. It all depends on the quality of the materials used and the number of parts that need to be altered. If we take the re-stitching of the front and rear seats, door inserts and headrests, then the price of the issue will be about 70,000 rubles, if we take large cities of Russia, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. If you do a complete re-stitching, the price can rise significantly.
Spoiler
There are plenty of such parts for tuning on sale, so finding them in stores is very easy. The average price of a spoiler ranges from 3-5 thousand rubles. To attach the spoiler yourself, first mark the location of this structure on the bumper. Next you need to make holes. Be sure to treat them with sanding paper and finishing paint, which will help prevent corrosion. Use a standard wrench to install the new spoiler. Modifying Renault Logan with your own hands is quick and easy, but it is important to prepare all the tools in advance.
Updated Renault Logan (Dacia) 2013
The 2013 Logan is a completely different car. Literally everything is new. The French completely changed the exterior, the entire interior changed, and the car also received many new useful features that make the car head and shoulders above its previous versions. In general, officially, Logan 2013 is the second generation of the car, since in 2008, the car underwent only a slight restyling. This year, Renault also introduced the Sandero model and the Sandero StepWay modification. These three cars have a lot in common. The body design, front and rear lights, as well as the interior are almost identical. Thus, the French want to follow the fashion trend - unification, which is characteristic of all models of famous brands.
For example, in Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes, cars of all classes have long been similar to each other. Even the Hyundai brand made the new Accent, Elantra and Sonata models simply copies. Now it seems that Renault has joined this trend. See what awaits us in the new Duster!
Tuning Renault Logan
By looking at photos of Renault Logan tuning, you can bring interesting ideas to life. You can improve your car either with the help of a tuning studio or on your own, since there are plenty of tuning parts on the market. Tuning a Renault Logan with your own hands is not a very expensive and time-consuming process.
You can start tuning Renault Logan yourself by installing new alloy wheels - this will take a little time. You can install front optics, rear lights, side window deflectors, additional brake lights, fog lights. If you don’t want to change the standard headlights, you can purchase specialized headlight covers for Renault Logan. Glasses are available in various colors and shapes. They are plastic covers that change the shape of the headlights and protect the glass from damage without interfering with the glow of the lamps. In general, alternative optics are significantly different from those installed at the factory and significantly change the appearance of Renault Logan. You can continue tuning Renault Logan by tinting the windows with a dark film or film in the body color.
External tuning
External tuning of Renault Logan also involves the installation of an aerodynamic body kit, which, in addition to its attractive appearance, also improves the aerodynamics and handling of the car. Body kits include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoiler, side skirts, and radiator grille. You can install a wing and a visor on the rear window. There are a lot of options for external tuning of Logan, it all depends on the imagination and preferences of the owner. This machine is great for a variety of exterior modifications.
Internal tuning Renault Logan
In addition to external transformation, most drivers prefer to improve the technical characteristics of Renault Logan, for example, increase engine power, since the factory one does not have the desired power. The most affordable and effective way is chip tuning. Through chip tuning, the electronic control unit is modified, the computer program is changed, but the technical part of the car is not affected. Pros: increased power, torque and reduced fuel consumption.
Driving a Renault Logan becomes fast and comfortable. In addition, chip tuning provides another significant advantage - it is the installation of a system in the car that can select programs for normal engine operation. Thus, the driver has the opportunity to drive the car by independently changing the engine characteristics. That is, if there is a need for fast driving, the ECU switches to the sports operating mode; when driving quietly, the standard mode is switched on. Chip tuning will help make it easier to drive a car on city roads, but on the highway it makes it possible to accelerate sharply when overtaking. Many Logan owners increase braking dynamics by installing ventilated brakes on the front axle.
Renault Logan interior tuning
The Renault Logan interior is too simple and not original, so the use of special parts and accessories is a necessity.
You can reupholster the seats, steering wheel and other interior parts with modern materials in the same color scheme and style. Velor, leather, eco-leather are perfect for these purposes: the materials are relatively inexpensive, but durable and elastic. Tuning the Renault Logan interior includes installing heated seats, which is very important in domestic climatic conditions.
Car owners should acquire high-quality sound insulation, which will eliminate the sound irritants characteristic of Renault Logan. An air ionizer will eliminate unpleasant odors in the cabin. Rugs will add a special touch to the interior and perform a protective function. All these details can make the interior of the car individual and convey the character of the owner. Modernization of Renault Logan will help car owners gain comfort, coziness and additional opportunities.
Optics
Do you want to make your car recognizable? Then do optics tuning for Renault Logan. You can buy a good xenon for 7 thousand rubles. You can install it either independently or at a service station. Many motorists still like “angel eyes”, which can be bought in car dealerships for about 3 thousand rubles. Do-it-yourself modifications to Renault Logan may include tinting the rear lights. Replacing them can cost about 7-8 thousand rubles. Many experts also recommend installing beautiful fog lights, the price of which ranges from 2 to 4 thousand rubles.
Chip tuning Renault
Chip tuning is a special procedure that allows you to improve the dynamics of the car, as well as increase the comfort parameters when driving and handling.
Advantages of Renault chip tuning:
- increasing the sensitivity of the gas pedal;
- smoothing out dips with increasing speed and effects caused by turbo lag;
- improvement of pick-ups from below;
- increasing elasticity characteristics under various loads;
- solving problems that arise due to floating speed on a cold propulsion device;
- improving the functioning of the internal combustion engine when the air conditioner is running.
Chip tuning improves not only turbocharged engines, but also naturally aspirated ones. This fact can be verified by measurements on a dyno stand.
Replacing rims
After installing light alloy wheels, many owners discover changes in the behavior of their car. This applies not only to acceleration dynamics, but also to handling.
In order for the new disks to fit on Renault Logan as “native” ones, the owner will need to worry about compliance with the technical parameters below, by which these products are classified and differentiated.
Among these points are:
- bolt pattern (it is important for attaching the disk to the hub);
- product diameter (in inches);
- the width of the disk itself and its overhang.
Currently reading: Renault Logan engine name - New Logan
The indicated important parameters are present in the technical map of the car, and their compliance is paramount.
Changes affecting the interior
1. The radiator grille is endowed with the role of not only a decorative element, but can also please with its practicality. This is expressed in the throughput of the oncoming air flow for cooling the radiator honeycombs of the cooling system.
There are several options for transforming the appearance of this element:
- painting in a color similar to the body coating;
- lining the grille or replacing it with a more sophisticated analogue.
On the market you can find many companies selling modified front grilles, this can be seen from numerous photos. They are often more effective than original products. Some workshops can make a custom grille based on your wishes.
We recommend using these parts if there is a need for deeper and more “advanced” tuning of Renault Logan.
2. Next, the front bumper will need modification. In addition, you can get overlays. This category of bumpers is endowed with increased strength and resistance to low-temperature atmospheric conditions. To replace the bumper, you will need to carry out a number of mandatory disassembly operations yourself. This will save the owner from the cost of workshop services.
If you decide to tune the “French” Renault Logan, then replacing the bumper is “vitally” necessary, since this gives the exterior a unique charisma, and can also increase the efficiency of air cooling of units located in the depths of the engine compartment.
3. Stern bumper. After installing a “fresh” front bumper, neglecting to replace the rear similar element will be a blasphemous act. The choice of bumper should imply post-installation harmony with other exterior elements, for example, headlights.
4. The next stage when complex tuning is carried out can reasonably be considered the installation of new and effective optics. If you are inclined to modify old headlights, then this procedure is unlikely to lead to the expected effect. Therefore, we recommend getting new headlights. After installing the new optics, LED elements need to be integrated into its body. The rear headlights already have diode emitters in the factory version.
If you set out to implement such tuning in Renault Logan, you can achieve a high-quality result, because the new lighting equipment will not leave most passers-by indifferent.
5. Next, we resort to installing light-alloy wheels with low-profile tires. If you want to tune Renault Logan, the parameters of the specified elements will be as follows:
- disc radius – R-16;
- Tire size – 205*50*R16.
These modifications are recommended to be carried out in conjunction with measures to modernize the suspension.
6. When tuning is carried out, you should not neglect the modification of chassis elements. It would be advisable to install more efficient brakes:
- larger diameter disks;
- calipers with pads that improve braking efficiency.
Modifications of this nature should be carried out if you intend to operate a Renault Logan car in extreme conditions.
The continuation when tuning the suspension yourself is to replace the shock absorber struts with stiffer damping elements. Here, the installation of stiffer springs is considered a mandatory and effective measure.
7. Transformations in the interior can take on a varied character. The instrument panel is usually modified to improve the aesthetics of its appearance. There are ready-made versions for this element in the market network. It is also possible to modify the panel yourself. But for this option, the owner must have certain skills. Due to the rare nature of some panel parts, refinishing it yourself can be a long-term process or a dead end.
8. To modernize interior panels, many owners are inclined to purchase ready-made elements. In the photo or video you can see the finishing options and choose the most harmonious one according to your preference. These spare parts have their own functions, as well as individual color shades. Most elements can be replaced by hand without much difficulty.
Leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob
Some owners are inclined to modify and modify the upholstery of the gearshift lever handle and steering wheel rim in Renault Logan with their own hands. To minimize the risk of material damage, the steering wheel and gearshift knob are covered in the following sequence:
- Determine the size of the steering wheel and make a template. For this purpose, wrap the steering wheel with tape, only then mark the seam. It's better to use a marker for this.
- Using a sharp knife, make cuts along the seam line, and then remove the pattern from the steering rim.
- Use the template to mark the material.
- Make a stitch along the edges of the leather using a thick thread.
- Now sew the two edges of the strip along the inner surface.
- Place the ring cover on the steering wheel and sew it together. The needle should be passed through the seam in such a way as to create gaps. This type of seam is called macrame.
- The same principle applies to covering the handbrake lever.
Car repainting, airbrush work
The most suitable color for repainting is white, the base color of budget models. At the request of car tuning enthusiasts, numerous studios can paint the car in exotic colors and various “metallics”.
Simple combination color options can come down to sticking on several dark longitudinal stripes of plastic stickers that immediately make the car stand out on the road. Interesting are the combined color options for the new Renault Logan, combining the white top of the car with a dark (black, red) bottom.
The artistic airbrushing of the body looks most striking. Amateur airbrush tuning of Logan is hardly possible. Even when using stencils, these works require special equipment, significant experience, well-honed skills, and many years of practice. To improve the exterior of the Renault Logan with airbrushing and give the car a unique look, you need to contact a trusted tuning studio.
Hello. Very beautiful tuning of rear lights for Renault Logan 2014. But how can I buy or order them from you, I can’t find the link? I want chrome rear lights like in the photo of the white Renault Logan car. Help.
What can be done to change the ground clearance and how will this affect the performance of the car? I usually only did external tuning and only a couple of times, this time I’m thinking about doing something about the interior and “internals”. Regarding ground clearance, I don’t know whether this car will make it better or worse.
I wouldn’t change the ground clearance, but it’s quite realistic, it’s harder to raise the car, but visually lowering it is real. There are special inserts for this, which allow you to change the appearance of the car, and in which direction, everyone decides for themselves.
For me, normal tuning is improving the engine. First of all, I would install a turbine, but for this I would have to change the gearbox, since the standard one will not withstand the increased power of the car.
Renault first introduced the Logan model in 2004. Probably, then the French had no idea how successful this car would become, and what popularity awaited it. Since 2005, the car began to gain incredible popularity in the CIS countries. The car was a “B” class sedan and promised to cost nothing at all, which was rare for 2004-2005. Logan was produced under two brands: Dacia and Renault. Dacia is a Romanian company that has become a subsidiary of Renault itself since 1998
Probably many people still pay attention to Logan’s blue badge
Logan 2004, sold without any changes for only 4 years. And already in 2008, the car received a light restyling, which was aimed mainly at improving the exterior. The new product received a slightly modified trunk lid and radiator grille. To improve comfort, Renault decided to work on the side mirrors; they became wider, thanks to which the owners of the new Logan received a greater view than before. Since 2008, Logan has not changed until 2013. And today, in 2013, Renault introduced a new generation of its popular Logan. How much better is the new product than previous versions and what’s new in it, let’s look further.
About tuning options
The Internet is overloaded with a huge number of photos and videos showing modified elements of Renault Logan cars.
Thanks to this thematic resource, you can come to the conclusion about the possibility of doing your own tuning. Here we will present the most popular transformations, the introduction of which to the car is so desirable for the majority of Loganovods.
- Refinement of the radiator grille, transformation of the appearance of the front lighting equipment, installation of LED backlight lamps in the headlight units.
- Modification of the front and rear bumpers.
- Tuning the side sill trims.
- Replacing the taillights with analogues with LED emitters.
- Installation of light alloy wheels with a larger radius, which includes the installation of low-profile tires. This significantly brings the exterior of Renault Logan closer to a sporty look.
- The use of brake mechanisms with increased performance and resistance to overheating.
- Upgraded components in the suspension, which improves stability.
- Tuning the dashboard and console.
- The use of decorative overlays on interior upholstery elements.
- Installation of metal linings on pedal pads of control units.
- Tuning of other (not listed here) interior elements in order to give the interior a complete look.
The above list of tuning improvements is most in demand by the large army of Renault Logan owners.
Next, it is advisable to consider each of the above points in separate order for a more detailed acquaintance with the possibilities of hand-made tuning, and also consider the photo.
Adjustment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEceeYd_ie8
Replacing the headlight alone is not enough. Its main feature is that some Logan models can emit white light (usually LED models), and some can emit yellow light. The main point is that you need to set up the PTF correctly. So, you can be sure that the flow of light is directed exactly where it is needed, and not up or to the side. During the adjustment process, the following rules must be observed:
- Adjustment of the boundaries of the light beam emitted by LED PTFs must be performed as accurately as possible. Remember - light from a given source should never be directed above a certain horizontal plane;
- The installation of such PTF headlights on Logan should be carried out as close to the road surface as possible. This will allow you to accurately determine the boundary of the light beam emitted by LED models.
Only in exceptional cases is adjustment required at a service station. In most cases, this work is done independently, since the principle of disassembly and assembly is quite simple. However, if you see that problems arise with adjusting the fog light on a Renault Logan car, you will most likely have to visit a service center.
To complete the full list of work described above, a maximum of one hour of free time is required. At the service center, this time may be longer, depending on the queue for repairs of other vehicles. Replacing the PTF on a Renault Logan car should be carried out if the fog light is unstable in its seats, the lamp has burned out, or the protective glass has cracked.
Why tuning is necessary
As mentioned earlier, Renault cars (Logan and Duster) have some advantages, thanks to which they have won the trust of many car owners.
Advantages:
- Low price;
- Maintenance is not expensive;
- Capacity;
- Optimal running parameters;
- European (acceptable) quality.
Flaws:
- Low level of quality of materials from which the finishing is made;
- Inadequate ergonomics;
- Insufficient basic equipment.
Of course, it cannot be denied that in recent years the modern Renault Logan and Renault Duster have changed a little: the manufacturers have improved the design and added a couple of new devices.
Factory tuning is not typical for such models: sometimes the tuning procedure is carried out by small organizations motivated solely by interest and working on pure enthusiasm, while other enterprises fundamentally do not undertake the work of upgrading such cars.
It is for this reason that owners of Logans and Dusters often have to tune their cars themselves.
Sandero body modification
Do-it-yourself tuning of the Renault Sandero frame is very popular among the owners of this crossover. Video materials from master classes show a range of variations regarding tuning modernization of the car body. The entire range of work can be completed independently only if you have the appropriate equipment and tools.
If a car enthusiast wants to get a sports car as a result of design innovations, then such tuning can also be performed without the participation of third-party specialists. First, the thresholds of the car are hung with powerful, embossed structures, the wing is attached to the trunk, the protection of the car is strengthened at the front and rear, with the frame of the bumpers being improved. The radiator grille is replaced with a special metal mesh, which can be simply chrome-plated or painted to match the color of the car. The best option is to install the same type of grille in the space under the radiator and in front of it. This tuning is more appropriate.
Recent trends in car tuning indicate that it has become fashionable to apply various protective films to the car body. Renault Sandero has not been spared fashion either. Films are sold through official sales representatives. There are options for incomplete body wrapping, for example, tuning the hood or parts of the front bumper. They are applied to areas that are less protected when moving. Tuning using film is performed in a special room and with the necessary equipment.
The number of different types of Renault Sandero wheels is simply impressive. The diameter of the wheel hub (60.1 mm) and proper drilling (4/100) have a particular influence on the appearance of the rim. For the Renault Sandero line, the most suitable range of wheels can be offered by manufacturers NZ, as well as Alcasta and Cross Street.
Trunk
Do-it-yourself modifications to Renault Logan 1 also concern improving the trunk. The car is not small, but it also has hidden reserves. The factory spare tire is located in the niche “face up”; its internal volume is not used in any way. If the wheel is turned over, the tow rope and other small things that are usually found in the trunk of every driver fit perfectly into the space.
And so that half of the trunk is still level, experts advise covering the spare tire with a split plywood cover. The halves of such a homemade cover are connected by a sheet of thin sound insulation, the thickness of which does not exceed 3 mm. This articulated joint further reduces noise and vibration.
