Mk3 Clio one year on, 56k Beware (Non RS content)



  DCi 100
Spray one of the black wheels black or something Seb with a can and see. Agree'd with the front looking good but the back isn't as nice. May change as the green is well... s**t.

Wound down fully with the adjusters removed :(

custom springs are my best bet, seats and stuff will be going back in too.

I think you should inves in some custom sprigs seb, would really finish off the car, looks amazing as is but that would really finish it off, keep the wheels green aswel

I have another set of wheels that are currently being bored out to fit, shouldnt be long now.

But i will still need the springs

Aye, replied Kiddo.

Il see how im feeling money wise next month as the cars getting prep'd for sale as of trax.
 
  Homo spec mazda
Anyway as trax draws nearer, and its my last show with the clio hopefully, i decided to start trax prep today. This included having a set of wheels bored out to fit then tyres fitted and bolted up... Theyre et13 as standard... but with my spacers et-12. Only thing is that the 15" wheels accentuate the arch gap which was always bad, but now frankly upsetting, to the point i even emailed AP to have a moan. :(

To prove the front is lower, hear are my epic new scrapage marks, baring in mind the car never usually goes on the drive these are all done today since the others were masked in grime

Final resting spot before work carries on tomorrow

looking good, will be a shame to see it go...
imo, might be worth binning all the stickers too, will look very clean and steathy then.

the back will go down abit once the seats and stuff goes back in!!

Seats + sparewheel are in Matt. All cs stickers are off and will get helllo kitty off after trax. Aye that's with spacers.

Just straight up nearly blank plates? came on the car, BMW in rochdale did them but they do have something on the bottom. Halfords ones are quite plain if thats what your looking for

I do like it :) What's with the new wheels if you're changing soon? What you replacing it with?

Jesus - what's the issue with me asking him, he's already ordered it! Not like I'm asking him to do any measurements etc..?
 
  Homo spec mazda
New wheels were just something i wanted to do, i might carry on working on it right upto the point of sale, not too sure yet. I really want an Mx5 mk1

I t's just easier going outside and measuring than waiting for a reply on here, just a suggestion as it's the most obvious solution :)

Well, i keep saying this is last thing i do to the car... but hopefully It is. Anyway, this is the story of trax 2010, my issues and what happened after.

Friday night the car was clean and ready to roll, but saturday morning me and Lbrench went to a french scrappers which led to me scraping on the surface of pretty much everything. This then tore my heatshield and had it hanging down. Bit of Gaffa tape though and I was ready once again.

me doing some work for once

Met up with a few mates at krispy kremes, and got ready to move on out.

Now the eagle eyed of you will see the blue detailing tape all over the car, my thinking was, if i cover the dirtiest sections in tape, i wont have to clean them, but this being me, i rushed it and it started peeling, all over the motorway :)

At the services with my mates fiesta and jesus's 172 (RIP little 172)

Here I did intend to park in line, but thats where i beached myself and where it pretty much stayed, after burning the grass.

Anyway, the car was returned to manchester on wednesday and before i knew it the car was back... YAY!!!

But now its time to get it ready for sale in december/january.
but I wanted to paint my wheels one last colour, the one i wanted all along. Purple!
Went out with a mate who thinks hes a bit of a camera whizzkid, and he snapped these, i only sort of like the last one but thats life i suppose.

Noooo none of this modern fancy stuff, want either a mk1 or mk2 1.6

Selling because im 20 soon, so want something quicker, also im mega into jap cars and I kinda want to get into a bit of drifting so it makes no sense to keep the french thing :)
 
  Slow red one
I see, I was after something faster as im 21 in few months but insurance is still a bi*ch! shall have to wait it seems:( if you happen to sell your coils PM me!:)

Did you end up getting anywhere with Silverstone, covering any costs? Did the damage cost much?

Still prefer it on the green Canastas :)

Nope theyve hid their heads in the sand + theres an uber disclaimer on the back of the ticket :(
It cost enough, but its pretty much all sorted minus the exhaust is blowing a touch :(, i still have the green canastas :D

If you come to sell would you spilt i would be seriously interested in buying your collies.

I might stick my 25mm ones back on the front. but each time i have, it always looks too wide IMO. The tyre stick out further than the skirts, much further, and it looks stoopid. Wish mine could look like this...
