De-chavvin' project
- Thread starter will.clio!
- Start date
It's lowered on some customs springs that a forum member supplied (chewitt) the ride is really harsh and now have a new pothole hating passion.
Plans are to get it on some stretched tires then i can get them out the arches abit with some spacers. 'Down and out yo'
Soon i will maybe go to coilovers if i have enough money, still want to get the paint damage sorted first. I'm tempted to just cut off the rear exhaust tip and weld on a new tip facing the ground to hide it, i know it's bit of a bodge, but will just be a tempory solution i guess.
First thing on my list though will be Fogs then possibly the tires when i next get paid. Still need to find a place that will stretch them, i rang a company in Luton yesturday and they gave me a lecture over the phone how they will never fit tires incorrectly and said i would be irrisponsible to do so. :S
Little update, tires arrived today, and are being fitted tomorrow
Still waiting on my spacers.
More pics tomorrow when they are fitted.

New tires fitted today
Strange, i have pics up? Can't you see them?
Hopefully I can get my back tires this week, maybe getting Nankang 165/45/50's, or might go with Bridgestone potenzas again.
But, want an RS grille and have to re-order my spacers because delivery address and card address where different so i wasn't billed
.What you guys think? Front spacers or rear stretch tires.
Btw for anyone wanting stretch tires fitted i found this place.

Nice helpful guy, would recommend him.
Another little update, look's like i'm not just de-chavving, kinda leaning towards the euro look
Rear tyres on.
It's in desperate need of a wash though.
Quite liking the height at the front, looks like it could go a little lower, but gonna wait till i have the spacers on first.
Rears really need spacing out!
and finally a little picture of my driveway clearance
Just been paid so hopefully have the wheels spaced out 'soonish'.

A project of healing - love it.
You are going to get rid of the tea-trays in the boot?

Re: A Project of healing
Updated pics from my clio media thread. After fitting FK highsports, little bit lower
Fitting my FK rears instead of the custom springs, majority of people think it looks broken at the back and I'm starting to agree, plus i keep scrapping my exhaust
Spacers are ordered and will be fitted when they finally arrive.
Anyone know if camber shims are available for the non sports or are people still using washers?

LOL at how low the back is, and the cupboard in the back.
Rear end needs to sit higher than that. It looks like the suspension is broke and you have a s**t load of reverse rake going on. Front should be marginally lower than the rear (only very slightly).
Other than that it's look okay! Much better than the previous mods, courtesy of your boy x to the z.

Needs some camber. Nothing excessive. And spacers, and lack of reverse rake like Jason says. Taking the 5 ton of wood out the back would help with that

To be low you also need stance imho, tuck is not a good look.
Looks alot better in the pic without the bra too
What he said
Its all good going down the "Euro" route but it must be done right otherwise it just looks like another french car trying to be a VW.
Good progress though
Looks alot different now it's higher at the rear and currently refurbishing some Porsche 928 wheels, will update this thread later.
Renault Clio 1.2 16v
what are the rims u have on ??
Mini Cooper
Great transformation, it looks a million times better. Soon as you get them wheels spaced out it will look the dogs proverbials. I would get rid of the cupboard in back and get a smaller sub and box as well but that's just me.
