I'm getting a smaller front plate and obviously a clean rear one. But I'll also be buying a standard sized front plate too.
It's also not very standard, cup shocks, cooksport springs and spacers all round lol. Just looking for OEM+ really.
Cheers for the comments though
Some better clean pictures since fitting everything mentioned in my previous post:

Haven't really had chance to use them properly. First impressions are that they are pretty firm. Normal road conditions it's fine but pot holes etc it's pretty harsh. At the minute my tracking is all over the place so I'm giving it a week to settle then tracked up and then I'll give a decent...
Yeah it's all on the list. Which is never ending.
Needs:
- Matching tyres all round
- Wheel refurb
- Mazda 3 MPS aerial (looks like I actually forgot to order mine)
- Clean plates
- Loads of exterior trim parts that are faded
- Cup spoiler
- 182 interior to replace the knackered items in mine...
Cheers Mark. And yeah it was pretty funny. I got stuck then we got a jag*cough*Mondeo*cough* estate stuck followed by Ed's saxo.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg
Love this car. Very nearly bought a black ph1 before the monaco but it sold just at the last minute. Every time I look in here I want to sell up LOL.
Nice surprise when you got the Gaz invoice I imagine...
As promised some proper camera pictures (excuse me as I'm a little rusty).
But first I had noticed some scrubbing on the front when turning at speed or going over a decent bump.
The offending item. (Same on each side):
Offending Arch Liner Section by welshname, on Flickr
Weapon of choice...
Spotted about 10mins ago near the tesco. Thought it was @pureessence at first, haven't seen his car in a while though and yours didn't have the UFO plate.
Yeah I'm really happy with how the car sits now. Unfortunately I've got some scrubbing on the front. Its where the arch liner dips down to allow a spanner to remove the bumper to wing bolt. Just going to cut that section away and it should be good to go.
So bit of an update.
Finally managed to get my hands on a set of cooksports so I decided today to get everything fitted.
I had already fitted the 200 badge

So got on with the springs, cup shocks, spacers and splitter.

Back on...
Someone want to set up a "NW Meet Ideas" thread? That way all the suggestions can be thrown in there to gauge interest easier and then someone can start a new thread for meets we want to go ahead.
Has anyone had any luck getting longer wheel bolts for the Clio and retaining the 19mm head size?
I've got 15mm spacers to fit and can't get any in the right length with the correct head size.
Standard is 23mm long, I'm fitting a 15mm spacers so I figure that 38mm is about right. So I'm after...
Yeah if you have 25mm fronts you use the standard bolts. I've just fitted mine about 5 mins ago and they are fine. The longer bolts I ordered for the 15mm rears are incorrect thread size though even though I checked on here first :(
