Might fire them across an email about the wheels...nice one.

Lol at when it first came out. 'Oh dear, just been sim'd'. Completely agree though, I couldn't go back to using 'normal' steering now.

Just found a decent guide written by Jord when he did his. Will have a proper read through at lunch: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?439455-172-Widetrack-on-a-Mk1-(Valver-Williams-etc) Pah, that way I wouldn't be half as cool ;)

Potentially stupid question coming up Chip; will the 1*2 calipers fit on to standard valver disks easily enough? I'm useless with brakes, haven't got a clue.

Lol at the mattress! You're not helping Phil! Looked amazing on the willy wheels. You're not helping either. Erm, not really! I've had a clutch problem a couple of times where I've had to pull over with hazards on as I can't select a gear, but otherwise it's been spot on. The brakes have...

Lol! It's a possibility mate. I work next to a garage so will get them to loosen them tomorrow.

It's difficult to compare the two really mate! They're just so different. The mk1 feels a bit nimbler and actually turns in quicker, but ultimately lacks the Trophy's grip and doesn't feel as stable on faster bends. Not that I've actually been driving it that quickly really, I've been put off...

You too fella, def need a beer soon, if you're allowed out when you're married ;) LOL at the incident. So yeah, Oli kindly came over tonight to loosen the bolts on the wheels. We joked about me just been a weakling, and then this happened: That's on one of the lifetime guarantee halfords...

Thanks for the offer Chip, certainly something to consider mate :) My only thoughts on using ph2 stuff instead is because I already have it, lol!

Amazing what difference a set of wheels makes to a car.

Flol at pink :o Hmm, the front brakes appear to be creating a grinding noise...anyone know if 182 brakes fit?

They look awesome Daz! Need them in my life right now.

Jesus, that wiring makes me feel ill just looking at it! Look forward to see what you do with it mate. Mini looks awesome btw!

Jesus, that's taken quite a whack. Glad you're ok mate.

They're awesome aren't they! Really not sure mate, it's happened twice now at random. It seems to go really light and I can't select any gears. The first time, it just appeared to fix itself after a minute or so, but last night it wasn't having any of it. So I reached under the pedal and yanked...

You'll be pleased to know that my new clio has sod all arch gap ;)

The armchair-esque seats make up for it ;) I've always been a windows-down bloke anyway.

Sorry to hear that mate. I have a drivers side mirror and the rear bump strip if needs be. They're both in capsicum. I do also have a door card, but it's a cup/trophy one. Fire me across a PM if you're interested pal.

It's funny, I actually really don't mind it as a daily. It's comfier than the Trophy, lol! Time will tell whether it'll be reliable or not, but so far so good. It did do that daft light clutch thing the last night again that I was telling you about Chip, but seems to be more of a pedal related...

Nah, looks daft imo. Would much rather a nice concours example. I'm 23, loads of hair but am partial to the old knitted sweater in winter.

Pics of you scrubbing the van's chrome wheels?

Jesus. I love your car Coops <3 Looks unreal on the white turinis. Cheers Sam!

Can't believe this hasn't gone yet. Has to be one of the best out there. Good luck with it all Gaz.

Cheers Oli, I should be about all week so just fire me across a PM for whenever's good for you :) I might use the opportunity to try and sell you stuff too, lol!

I've sort of come round to that train of thought too Dan. Williams wheels it is. The missus will kill me, btw.

Aaah, look at it. FIT.

Thoppit Dan :o I'm on the hunt for some now. I'll probs keep the other wheels as well tbh. Cheers Brett!

Those two couldn't even work out how to turn my camera on, ignore them. Lol.

Oh FFS Daniel. They look insanely good. It needs to be done. Cheers Chris! Most of them were taken with a 50mm f/1.8 mate. Unfortunately, my camera doesn't have an in-built focus meter for that lens, so makes it a pain having to MF - especially at f/1.8! Think I took a few with the kit 18-55...

Hmmmm, certainly something to think about. I'm not a massive anth fan though (I know I used to own a Trophy...), so would be silver all the way. You're coming round to help me refurb them anyway... :dapprove: You're def not licking it now. Diamond cut can look brilliant, but it's a bit...
