As said before mate, willy wheels look ace on there. TBH after its dropped, you may not need to change the wheels ;)
I was going to suggest spacers aswell, as a cheaper alternative to coilovers. Thats what ive done, whacked some 20mm spacers on to widen it. Although the plan was originally to...
...jesus christ...the music says it all tbh...
To be fair, there were 2 maybe 3 nice cars on there, the standard v6 clio being one of them lol, the rest were just...disgustingly bad!
De wiper it, 50p for a grommit or fibreglass over the original plate (looks alot better IMO)
One idea that i have been thinking about is to spray the side bullets chequered, along with the diamonds.
I'm heading down to the local scrappy to pick up some bullets and diamonds incase it looks...
At first i thought it could be someone out on a test drive from the dealers lmao, turn out for the first time and get flashed by a random clio :cool:
I still think thats the best colour for the 197, looks gorgeous!
Lol my exhaust is blowing terribly, sounds like a diesel up close :o
Right then, saw a few RS's and a definate CS member in leamington today.
Firstly i saw a nimbus 197 on the road past the mosque, past the renault dealer, gave you a thumbs up and you looked at me gone out lmao :cool:
Then i saw a black 182 going past victoria park, didnt have time to give...
I'm running with 20mm spacers at the moment and only lowered on sportlines. The rubbing isnt too bad to be fair and the stance looks ace (as i cant afford to go lower lol!)
A quick fix for the rubbing is to grind away the inner lip of the wheel arch. Grind it away, paint it with hammerite...
Do it mate, carbon spoiler will look the dogs!
It's either that or spray the roof and spoiler black. Samoose has done it on his and i love it, looks ace!
Sorry to hear about your latest problem mate :dapprove:
I really wish you the best of luck in getting it sorted mate as it was coming on nicely and looking great before the incidents.
Lol stalking him :cool:
Yeah i know what you mean about the front end, prefer the 197 front end if im honest :o although i have only seen it on tv, so may look better in the flesh
lol oh dear, i thought it was primer at first!
by the look of it, its one of those very rare lexus's that were moddeled on the clio. Very hard to tell the difference, but the rear lights are a big give away ;)
I just got one for my birthday last friday.
T666 TMS
TMS being my initials.
I know its not a shorter one but i like it, although ppl could now think its T reg lol
O cool, finally a response lol :cool:
Yeah i live in Ryton so im always about on the A45, have seen a few before but no one on here. I even saw one parked up outside the chinese and was talking to the guy lol.
I was waiting to cross the opposite lane through the village so you wouldnt have...
Saw you cruising along from coventry towards the ryton roundabout.
Couldnt tell if it was a 172 or a 182, but it looked low lol ;) also had black wheels i think...well very dark wheels anyway.
It was about 3:30, i was waiting to cross the A45 through Ryton so i doubt you saw me.
Gorgeous car mate, im looking to do the same thing, but as i was only 18 on friday i have some time to wait lol :dapprove:
The RS2000 is immaculate, bet its loads of fun to drive!
I ground away the inside lip of the arch with a grinder, worked a treat. That may be enough for you, left no mess and didnt casue any damage to the paint on the wing :D
I still rub with some one in the back though lol
I got my rear plate from here aswell, top quality.
When its on the car you cannot tell that they're not legal, the font is pretty similar to standard and with the GB badge you cannot tell ;)
I'd recommend
noooooooooo i thought id be the first person to do that lol
Hopefully chequering my diamonds in the next few weeks, you can tell me whats the best way to do it then lol ;)
