    New here - Looking to buy!

    As above, the good examples are becoming harder and harder to find and the prices are rising, especially the RB tax..! Good luck on your hunt!

    No way! 2118s are possibly my favourite clio wheel. I've done the turinis and TD 1.2s before on previous cars, so wanted to try something else this time.

    I've also ordered a few parts that turned up during the wheel swap. Went with BC coilovers, I was really impressed with Ash's when he took me out in his trophy. Delivered and coated in AFC50 Along with the coilovers, I also ordered a PMS shifter, I've had one in my previous car and it was...

    So the turinis have gone and replaced with 2118s, which I managed to source from @frayz (sorry for the picture pinching) Test fitted to the car: I was unsure on what tyre, but finally settled with AR1s. Tyres fitted and wheels sealed. While the car was on stands, I also cleaned the arches out...

    That looks well mate, I'm liking the Brembos. Mine are the cup (ET38.5) offset Turini's, so the 18mm spacers will be too big. They are more of a future plan, where i'll be moving to 2118's and eventually the 280mm Brembo conversion. Also, I've some BC coilovers on order, these will replace my...

    Just skimmed through your thread mate, loving looking car - I'm a sucker for black gold! I'll be keeping an eye on updates!

    You're right, they may fit without issues, especially on my current prolines. I just think they might look a bit odd at the current car height, I don't want it looking like a monster truck!

    Managed to fit the rear axle spacers today, 10mm either side, was fairly straight forward and looks much better. I've got some 18mm PMS fronts, but they are for some 2118s when I get some, they're too large for the turinis. Before: After: And the other side done..

    Inner rear arches protected... After seeing a few people inspecting and finding some rust inside their rear arches, I bought some Bilt Hamber products, and expecting the worst, I tackled the rear arches today. My products consisted of: Hydrate 80 - rust remover Electrox- Anti rust primer Satin...

    Thanks for the kind words chaps. It makes a big difference! See link below for the aerial, as mentioned, I cannot comment on reception with it yet. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153206208881

    ... and then onto the passenger side: Before: After: Much much better imo! I have ordered some Bilt Hamber corrosion protection, so the plan is to tackle the inner rear arches and see what condition they are in! Thanks for reading

    A few more bits done to the RB over the weekend. I have a paintless dent removal guy out Friday, who went round the car taking out all I was unhappy with. Really pleased with the end result. First of all the easiest change, I swapped out the large aerial for a bee sting, I'm guessing the signal...

    Thanks mate. I haven't to hand, but I can grab some. It is indeed the KTR centerline, with non res and decat, so it is quite noisy, but no real drone. I'll grab a video for you tomorrow afternoon.

    Thank you mate. Give me a PM, I'd be happy to sort you out a good deal! 👍🏼

    Small update: After @Ash J fitted his awesome pole position, I managed to poach his Recaro Trendlines from him. Popped down yesterday evening to collect them and managed to get them fitted today. They are on Jon Foz X-Low frames, which have improved the driving position 110%. Ash even threw in...
