In your first image thats really similar to mine, only requires a bit of work, seems odd that they missed it given that you can see they have worked on other sections, yeah from what I understand the outer holes line up but the inner ones don't, thinking I might drill the boot rather than the...
It seems pretty well shaped, there is an area above where the brake light sits which needs a bit of attention as its not completely smooth, so I will ask the painter to have a look over it first, just waiting for the blanking plates so I can get them all painted up :)
Here you go buddy:

The silver Clio based on this thread is my other halves car.
I have an FRP and a shitty Civic run around, I would get rid of the Civic and have a 172 Cup instead. Well thats the thinking.
Just having a look, few available for reasonable money.
Thanks yeah have been cracking on, worries me once I have this completed that I might have to get rid of the Civic run around and get something else to work on, would love another Williams Clio again.

Finally got my camera back.
Few more parts arrived today,
Reception on the radio has been poor since fitting the stubby ariel so replaced it for one in between OEM and stubby.
Frustratingly it doesn't sit flush with the mount.
The rear wiper I purchased was to long so replaced...
Where did you get them from buddy?
AS I was about to buy these and the finish doesn't look as good as standard :/

Will look awesome once painted, come on come on pay day really want to get mine ordered.
Soon as I get it going to get it sent off with my door protectors, door handles and wing mirrors for spraying.
Good update mate.
This is the link to it on eBay, cheapest by a mile and another forum user purchased one and said it was spot on, just have to use the brake light part out of your existing spoiler.
Works out about £100 delivered...
Yeah really pleased with its current look, next month I will be getting the Trophy / V6 Spoiler which is a tad bigger than the Cup spoiler.
Yeah splitter is there just difficult to see with the lighting and the photo being taken with my iPhone 5.
Thanks MrTom
Its something on the lens of my iPhone camera, really annoying, was suppose to collect my camera on Saturday but didn't get chance.
Here is the link buddy:

One thing I cannot decide on is to change the badges on the back of the car to the more modern ones :/
Do like to keep a car looking stock, but the new badges do modernise the rear. hmmmmmm
Wont bother having the wheels refurbished just yet, partly to allow the other half to get used to width, also will be changing for Turinis soon enough. But yes I think the wheels will remain silver.
With regard to stub axle, I knew the hub centric spacers where a lot easier to install and not...

These two bolts I cannot for the life of me undo and they have both started to round off, any suggestions? I was thinking about using a hacksaw so that I can use a large flat head to try and shift them.
Then popped out to take...

Got the car back this evening and it looks so much better on the Cooksports, wheels look a little lost in the arches but should have the spacers fitted on Saturday as well as all the other bits and pieces.
After having all the work done in the short distance I have drove it so far it...
Yeah on the rear its better to have plate spacers which fit on the rear beam as apposed to the hub, do tend to be a bit more expensive and are more difficult to fit. Yes it does put more pressure on the wheel bearings however from my understanding the bearings are pretty stubborn and are not...
Thanks Jack, I have actually already received the JJC 16mm spacers.
These are the other set that I ordered last night:

With you setup I would go for 20mm on the front 15mm on the rear as it won't rub and looks awesome, I can send you the links to the cheapest sets I've found. 20mm from Italy £50 delivered and 16mm for £45 delivered bot sets come with the longer bolts.
By the way stunning car, when I first bought one for the other half I had an idea of how I wanted it to look and this is pretty much it.
Looks fantastic, cannot wait to get more done on ours now in the coming months, excellent result getting 1st place, a great way to see the car off.
