Everyone has to start somewhere, and its a project thread, meaning not finished, Looking forward to some updates. A good bit of slammage is in order though. :)
Right guys, Ive owned my clio for about 2 years now, Im really into my modifying, some of you may have seen my clio, mk2 ph1 black with turbines on and airbrushing and flocking etc. But im getting very bored of it.
Anyway Im really thinking of doing an engine conversion now, Im a mechanic...
I need 5mm or maybe 10mm spacers so the wheels stop catching the struts, but ive heard bad things about some sort of spacers etc, Are hubcentric ones the best and do i need longer wheel bolts?
Last question, wheres the best place to buy them from?
cheers.
Cheers guys, The seats are going as soon as work pays me, as for the yellow springy things they ust stop the doors flying open and people going in there at shows. :)
I dont normally post photos of my clio on here, but heres a few with the turbines on and flocked interior.
And well, il let you decide about this one, its all about being different, each to their own.
Cheers.
