TomC's Clio 182 FF LY

[Jekyll]

Ly on the badges would look too much imo.

 

[T27RS]

Wrap the back, I like the front!

Haha decided to remove the front 1

This is my favourite LY on here... And I own one!! Lol

Looks pretty much as I want mine! Another option for badges is LY them?? Something I'm considering!

Thanks man nah would look good on the front but as the rear badge is againt the ly paint I dont think youd see it very clearly. ..

Argeed.

So I decided against the carbon wrap diamonds and have removed the front wrap now back to standard..!!

But also de wipered the clio using a 13mm grommet as I think it just looks alot cleaner without

No wiper on the back just looks awful IMO.

No wiper on the back just looks awful IMO.

Agree with this, it's vanity past practicality - if the cars a show queen (and tbf your car is proper tidy) then fair enough I guess, but after a good blast on some dirty roads I'd want a rear wiper.

What happened with the ST?

 

[Dru G]

They are graphite not black... there dirty atm so they look darker. ....!!!!

Yeah great car and good efforts but I personally prefer the standard colour of wheels - you can't see the style of wheel.

 

[Knuckles]

Pm sprayshack, they do colour coded smooth wiper blanks

 

[Krys_23]

Love the car and it looks way fresher without the rear wiper, no need for the wiper just rain-x the rear window.

God I miss my old LY! Great car mate.

Personal opinion.

What happened with the ST?

Yeah after a good blast the rest of the car has bugs all over it... dusty... so id just wash it anyway the st just pulled to 1 side and basically fell off haha....

Yeah I do sometimes think about lighter but then in person they look alot lighter...

Yeah was thinking about that, but prefer them black to look abit more hidden

I need my top grill to look like this beauty! Is this just got back to black on it?

​Also what happened to your fresh plates?

 

[T27RS]

So I couldnt put up with not having a rear wiper for much longer so I put it back on


I then also had a go with my new machine polisher and some meguairs ultimate compound.... was also very impressed with the end results




Have also been polishing the renault sport inlet today....

Haha thats what I have always thought aswell

Looks great mate, real credit. . Whats next?

Not sure yet... looking into maps but not sure whats best.... may go for pops and bangs but I dont know if it sounds abit to forced

Yeah they are still the same colour.... its strange different lights and different cameras make them look different

looks awesome

Thanks

 

[Chi]

My new wheels got pops and bangs.. Didnt think I'd like them but they really add to the experience especially with the noise it makes when changing gears. .

 

[Luke_cup]

Your on vmaxx coils aren't you?

how are you finding them when you push it on a bend. Any rubbing etc??

also how wound down are they and do you have any spacers?

Yeah I find them perfect. There about half way of the front and all the way on the rear... dont get any rubbing even if I push it hard... id rate them and I also know others who agree.

Also not running any spacers

gleamin all the way to the bumpstops on the rear? you reckon 5mm spacers would cause rubbing with your set up?

Just a little couple of updates

LiquidYellow boot button

LiquidYellow speedo surround

Now for a bigger update. Which will be fitted on Saturday.

A lovely set of Recaro Trendlines in awesome condition with only a couple of subframe fitting marks.

 

[Chi]

Schweeettt.. how much did you pick them up for

 

[T27RS]

Schweeettt.. how much did you pick them up for

Well they were up for 900.... and I got alot off them so seemed a pretty good deal tbh

 

[norfolkmatt]

Seen this on your instagram, looks awesome, I want those seats!!

 

[Jack-D]

Really nice car. It just keeps getting better and better too!

​Did you spray the surround and boot button yourself?

 

[T27RS]

Thanks... yeah cant wait to fit them

​Did you spray the surround and boot button yourself?

Thanks man. Yeah have done everything on the car myself

 

[Jack-D]

I quite fancy having a go at the speedo surround myself. Did you have to take the top of the dash off?

 

[T27RS]

Yeah top dash off then the speedo just unclips then. Then the silver part comes away from the backing buy simply drilling out the heated plastic clips then spray and it clips back in
