Thats what i did, just take an angle grinder to it. Gives you a good 10-15mm at least...saying that mine still scrapes lol!
Just make sure you seal it as said above as it will obviously rust once the paint and stuff has been ground away.
Car is looking awesome mate, you gonna colour code it?

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol
Been busy spraying a few lil bits over the weekend :) Most of it came out alright, but i cant get a lil bit of masking tape off the rear diamond lol!!
Also introduced Mr Hammer to Mr Arch so i could put the 20mm spacers back on lol. Dosnt scrape...
Saw the black 182 just leaving as we were arriving. Only noticed the wheels when you went past.
And parked next to a low PH2 rep in silver. Was gone by the time we got out though.
I was in the naughty blue non sport with red wheels :o
Cheers mate, yer just confirmed what i though. The smaller chappies will be like my current wheels with 23mm spacers....only 3mm more than im running atm then :cool:

Just looking for a place to make me a stealth back box.
Anyone know a place, or a person, in the west mids that would do it? Prefferably around coventry/Leamington area....
Yer, i think you've hit the nail on the head there Focie. Dont get me wrong, i love BBS wheels and think they probably the best wheels in the world...but i just dont have the money at all, added up all my mods the other day and everything combined came to just over 1200. And to be honest i think...

And yep they are Lenso BSX's and came with multifit as standard :o I know they're not genuine BBS's but TBH all the mods i have on my car still dont...

Thanks for all the comments :D
I didnt put the exhaust on in my defence, was already on when i bought the car, but yer a stealth is definatly top of my list now :approve:

Yep got 2 degrees on the rear, which is two shims. Would recommend going to Fred if your after some ;)
Well we're going to smooth front and rear bumpers out when the weather gets better, too cold and wet atm lol.
May just get my mate to make me a backbox soon, just remembered that he does...
