My Clio 172

[Trainerbrow]

Looks lovely. Where did you get the pipe fitted as i am looking at this myself

 

[Christopher]

Nice! Carbon looks great fella!

Maybe some plain plates for it? 3/4 depth one at the fron like mine?

 

[Stu-]

I've got them Chris, just haven't put them on yet haha. Cookson, a bloke from near me made it. Pm me and I'll give you all the details.

 

[Feirny]

Looks decent that!

Did you ring ClioSpares today about an exhaust surround?

 

[Stu-]

Nah, i tried last week, in a thread in the traders section. Said they didn't have any.

Cheers for the comments, I'll try and record a video of the sound too.

 

[Hixle]

Looks spot on Stu mate! I wouldn't go any lower, looks a good height as it is tbh.

 

[Stu-]

Cheers Luke. Yeh... I've decicded to leave the suspension alone. I do alot of motorway driving so don't want to spoil it too much.

 

[Dan29]

Coming on good, Iceberg FTW

 

[Stu-]

Cheers mate.

Fitted my Carbon splitter today (thanks K-TEC), now just got to put my smaller number plates on and it's pretty much how i want it.

I had some company whilst fitting the splitter, this litte fella had been watching..

 

[Stu-]

Today, i fitted my Number plates. But me being pretty rubbish at doing things properly, ordered the wrong size front plate. Put it on anyway so i'm going to order another one on monday.

Here's a picture anyway. (Iphone Crap)

 

[Stu-]

Need some advice chaps, I've got some speedline turini's and I'm getting them painted... BUT !! I don't know what colour, Bright silver, or a dark colour?

 

[jonesyFX]

I reckon anthracite you SL4G

 

[Stu-]

I can't decide.

 

[liam172cup]

dark colour looks better against the silver i recon.

 

[HartZ]

If it was me id go a little lower

 

[Stu-]

I think i'll get them done darker then. Won't be for a little while but we'll see what happens.

Can't really go any lower.. As i found out a few weeks ago.

 

[*shig*]

really nice this, wouldnt mind mine lowering like, with me being a girl tho am not sure on which are the best kits to look at, any ideas??

this is my clio cup

 

[Stu-]

Stick a post in this section : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?77-Suspension-Brakes-Wheels-amp-Tyres

There will be someone with a better knowledge than i have in there.

Cheers for the comments though.

 

[*shig*]

[Stu-]

No worries!

 

[Stu-]

No updates as yet, although there will be over the next few weeks hopefully.

Gave it a clean so thought i'd be a pic wh*re lol.

As always, comments welcome.

 

[Christopher]

Looks great, ya slagggg!

 

[Stu-]

Looks great, ya slagggg!

Lol, Cheers pet. X

 

[Quid]

Spot on that mate, what wax you using?

 

[Stu-]

Just normal AutoGlym stuff. Nothing special.

 

[Stu-]

Couple more.

 

[Quid]

Shinnney, is that a decal of dusty bin on your bumper?

 

[Stu-]

Nah, It's an Andriod robot haha !

 

[Stu-]

Bit of an update today..

Passed MOT with no advisories.
Painted and polished my inlet.

Noticed the aux belt is coming off the pully, and is frayed so ordered a new one.

Also got my new wheels nearly ready for paint. so all in all, had a productive day lol.

 

[Stu-]

Oppinions please......

I recently bought a cup spoiler, and it needed painted, so that's all ready for paint BUT.. I'm thinking of getting my roof painted black, along with the spoiler. What do people think?

 

[Stu-]

Update time :

After having trouble with my aux belt not staying put, eventually got it sorted,

Got my cup spoiler painted and fitted,

Fitted my Alcantara A pillars (Thanks Austin 182)

Also started to fit my Evo Recaro's,

And last but not least, took silly air filter off and fitted standard airbox, New wheels are painted.. Just need to fit my new tyres.


Overall very happy with the car, and having done over 1000 miles in the last week and a half, i can still say it's a pleasure to drive it!

 

[VeinAST]

Loving those Evo Recaros! Do they tilt forward to let passengers in?

 

[Stu-]

No, unfortunately not. But i've never got anyone in the back so it's not a problem haha !

 

[VeinAST]

Hm that was my only gripe in not buying any! Saw them in an E30 at Ultimate BMW 2009 and fell in love with colour scheme

 

[Stu-]

If i ever want anyone in the back, i'll just have to wind the back all the way forward and slide it forward on the runner. Not a huge problem really though!

 

[Stu-]

Got my other Recaro fitted so thought i'd post up a few pics.

Ignore the steering wheel, (still trying to find a new one)

 

[Hixle]

Recaro's look spot on Stu!

 

[Stu-]

Shame i couldn't find the Trophy one's at the right price, but these were pretty cheap so can't complain.

 

[Quid]

Love the seats mate, have you thought about putting standard 172 wheels back on?
