Thanks, I'm looking to adjust it a little lower in the new year though. To be honest mate I don't even know what brand they are, got them off another member from here for £140 though, used but with new rear springs. Since it's only a 1.2 I'm not after amazing handling, it was more a cosmetic...
Yeah it is, they went on about a month ago. Best mod ever, made the most difference to the appearance of any mod I've done anyway; would definitely recommend it!
Don't blame you for upgrading to a 172! I would if I could.
It's mainly the back that's annoying on mine, it's noticeably high at the back, I want the arches sitting just above the tyres front and back ideally.
I was planning on getting a whole white theme going on by spraying the badges...
I wasn't debating that, just suggesting that he gets it to look how he wants it to rather than how Renault wanted it to. If they happen to be exactly the same then by all means go for it. Think I may have struck a nerve there since you used to own a 182 rep? Didn't mean to offend; I may have...
Sorry Dan I only just saw this post. I wouldn't have risked that if I were you since your wheels are really rare and everything, hope nothing happens though! Yeah get an extended locking set for Christmas or something and you'll be sorted :)
Just the one quick daytime pic as I've got stuff to...
Thanks! Wow those are strikingly similar, pretty sure even all the badges were sprayed the exact same colour too. Although I thought mine was Rover 'Stone' Grey rather than 'Storm' grey but I could be wrong. Would love that front bumper, looks awesome! Don't happen to still have it and want a...
I'll add it to the shopping list ;) grill is now off to be sprayed tomorrow and headlight refurb kit arrived today so will have a crack at that tomorrow or Saturday
Sorry mate but not a fan of sport replicas. To my way of thinking they are just for people with no imagination. Sure put on some bit from a sport, that's alright. But surely you don't think that the way Renault thought the best clios should look are spot on? Surely there's something you would...
Thanks :) Ah right I only just noticed that you're from Bristol too. I'm currently up in Wrexham with my family for Christmas, but if there's any meets around Bristol way in the near future I'm sure I'll see you there :)
Welcome to the forum mate. A lot of people on here aren't going to like this to be honest mate. Sorry but halfords alloys, lexus lights etc. don't go down well at all. Dynamique spoiler as Dan said would make the back end look better. If I was you I'd do the following: replace lexus lights with...
Ok thanks, maybe I can change your mind tomorrow with some daylight shots ;) haha
I'm planning on putting a skoda splitter on and spraying the grill satin black in the next few days. Also refurbing the headlights as I tried to do them once but just messed them up more, going to do it properly...
Haha no, everyone has their own opinions and you're more than entitled to yours. I was expecting this quite a lot really, especially from the OEM/OEM+ fans. I did like how the 172 wheels looked once the coilovers were on but I fancied something a bit more different :)
Haha don't worry, I'm definitely leaving them off. I didn't even bother getting them the same colour as the wheels. Unfortunately that means that I've had to take the spacers off the back so that my locking wheel bolts still fitted. Don't really want to have wheel bolts on show that aren't...
Usually hit around the 50mpg mark in my 1.2 16v. On long journeys that is, Bristol to Wrexham. About 45mpg when I'm driving a little more playfully on that trip, and high 30s for urban driving, so low 40s average. However, on my journey to Wrexham today I noticed my mpg to be a little less than...
UPDATE:
Freshly powder coated alloys are now on!
Before
After (apologies for the crap pics, it was dark by the time I'd finished)
Will get better pics up tomorrow :)
Probably because everyone else had chavmobiles on there too. Although I think you will completely transform it with the white 15" alloys, get some coilovers when you can and you'll be cs.net approved for the most part
Pictures must be deceiving as it looks like there's loads of room. Not a fan of the gold bumper insert on the back; it's your car though, you don't tend to do things in half measures really :P
I think spacers should be your priority before fannying about with the front bumper personally. You've got some awesome wheels there and they're hidden away in the arches! There's easily room for 15mm back and 10mm front if you're worried about rubbing the arches. Although I do think that...
It might be worth taking the lowering springs off and insuring it as no mods. my insurance last year was £2660 which is still loads but it's a lot better than what you've been looking at. That was with insurethebox which is possibly the worst insurance company ever, you only get 6000 miles a...
