Bit of mission but I might come to this, haven't seen you guys in ages!

Sounds like a good spec in the making, must be minted taking it to Mark Fish!

Lovely resturant that!

Still up for the drive down there with you guys! One epic convoy! Failsport and teamariane?

Complete and utter messiness on the cards I can see! Canny wait!

I actually quite like that colour combo, breaks it up nicely and doesnt look too out of place! Still cant get over how ugly they are though!

Good to hear that hopefully things will be sorted!

LOL, ever run/used spacers? Run 25mm spacers on the front of the Cup and 13mm on the rear and it definately has not 'ruined' the handling too! It's vastly improved my suspension setup, people need to start not listening to some of the tripe they hear on this forum and try stuff themselves...

What did it fail on matey?

This! The guy in the Cup Racer was a dickhead to be as nice as possible! Wow shows how much quicker a 172 is in comparison to a 306 Rallye as well!

Yeah? Because the wheel is a 6.5j so 12.5mm thinner than a 7J wheel. So would work.

25mm spacers still for that.

Just paint the engine cover matt/satin black to match the airbox/fusebox and get new stickers for it. Would look nice and subtle i reckon.

Do they? Run them on the cup and i've seen a good improvement with them on!

LOL! Erm for a fee you can, £50 a month? ;)

Update - The Cup has now been sorn for a couple of months so I can really crack on with getting stuff done. There was always a problem doing the bigger stuff to the Cup when I was using it as a daily as there'd always be a a rush to get something done otherwise I wouldn't have a car to use...

For a 7J wheel i'd with either a et 15 wheel or a 25mm spacer on a 7J et 43. With an 8J just go with an et30-35 wheel.

Thats fine, as said its your opinion. As much as its wrong! :rasp:

Would need at least a 25mm spacer to make it look good, but my opinion as said is that 15's with stretched tyres is too small even for clio.

Et 35 and are 8" wide them 17" BBS reps are, would sit nicely in the arches. And the Vmaxxs are pretty soft so that would be your problem, all you can do is remove the bits of the car that are rubbing against the wheel to make things better.

It clearly scrubbed as your suspension is too soft then! The right 17" wheel can look good on a clio, but people on here are too quick decide against it as they think they'll get slated for it. If you choose right and pull it off you wont get slated, but then there is the matter of taste also...

Yep and terrible quality! At least with a stainless steel exhaust from an exhaust place is that it's more durable and you normally get a lifetime guarentee with it also!

Not having a go but just saying, will still look average but if your going to do it, do it properly I say. I'd love to build a scene looking car but would rather spend my money on more of the racing style of things.

As it will fill the arches better instead of being just a car with 'broken' suspension with pidly small wheels. Lowering your car as low as it can go was cool, like 2 years ago.

You can also get 'extra lowz' with the 16" or 17" wheels, but it will look better! Your choice anyways.

Renault will sting you for a new exhaust, circa over £700! Best thing to do if you want a quiet exhaust is go to a custom exhaust place and they can build you a stainless steel exhaust that will last and be quiet also for half the price of a Renault one.

Fake splits, plus you'd need spacers for them to work. I'd say 25mm spacers on the front with a little bit of camber and 15mm spaces on the rear with a bit camber to actually look good! Why dont you go for a set of 16/17" wheels? If your going 'scene' you'll fill the arches better with bigger...

Oh and also there a VW fitment which is a centre bore of 56.1 or something close to that, clio is 60.1 so you'd have to machine the centre bore out with them also.

I run 25mm spacers on the front of mine with an 7J et43 offset wheels and i'm roughly 20mm max away from the tyres sticking out of the arch, and thats with 3 degrees of camber! Being a plastic arch and if you went any wider than that what I run without having suspension with no flex/movement it...

Wont fit. Even if you had over 3 degrees of camber they still wouldnt fit in the arches on the front, the rears definately wont fit.
