Full decal kit to turn a Clio mk1 into a chavy rally car *Bump*

*Bump* Would still really like to know where my resonator box is?!

Did the Bosch Aerotwin sit / wipe flat?

I've stripped the back (capet and seats) from my mk1. Is it a good idea to remove the carpet from the front too? What are the advantages / disadvantages? Is the front spray painted as comprehensibly as the back? Can you still use plastic (fake metal) mats or would they slide around?!

I've been taking my seats out so I can fit some bucket seats (not decided which ones yet). How much of the old frame do I take out? Do I leave the bottom bit with the slider (pic 1) or take it all out completely (pic 2, lhs)? Its a Clio mk1 btw

*bump*

Just seen your excellent profile. So, presumedly not, lol! :eek:

Cool. Msg you, or keep chatting 'in public'? Wanna go for a drive ;) Would you be seen with a Clio mk1 driver who hasn't modded much yet, but has plans..?!

Again, will seriously consider another confirmation of opinion, but if answering the original question...

Its the only way to stay awake!

Hi Skindeep, see you're from W Yorks. I'm stuck in Mirfield, where r u?

Far from my perfect £1000 wheel too, but £90 for 4, with good tyres?! £300 more to spend elsewhere while the debts mount up. Are they not alright, & good value for money? FEI, wiki'd JDM: The term JDM Japanese domestic market (JDM) is used to describe Japan's economic market for...

I don't know who Doug is, but somehow you make it sound tragic!

Between my financial circumstances & eBay, 'like' is significantly relative to the value for money, lol! :approve: I thought the tyres (good condition) would be worth close to £90 themselves and the alloys, decent wolfrace copies, alas without the badges. A bit of rust on the inside in 1 pic...

Erm, can you do it for me?! Thanks

Well, it seemed like they were a good price as the seconds fast approached, and I've been drinking (it is Friday!) Did I get a good deal to replace my factory 14"ers or have I spent £90 on another piece of s**t...

Yea but.. (see original question)

So.. what was the 'Cliosport' concensus again?! (see original question)

Hm. Thought as much. What Clio my arse.

CS? C'est qeu sai?

You successfully managed to condense my paragraphs of ranting nonsense into a concise 12 word question. b*****d!!! :rolleyes:

Awww B*ll*cks! I was just about to go to bed, happy in the certainty that 15" was the way to go on my mk1, phase 3. Grrrr. :mad: How much do they lower on their 18"? They must have really extensive archwork. (ffs!)

Hmmm, but other people have said 30mm is for homos and you can't even tell its been done, and that 15" wheels look silly on less than 50mm?!

I've got an MOT coming up, but can't afford to install bucket seats for a few months. Problem is, a lot of the standard front seatbelt equipment is f*cked and I know it will fail the MOT. But I don't want to spend £50+ replacing standard belt equipment when it could go towards decent bucket...

Doh! :quiet: :o Phase 3.

The one quoted in the 4 word title. :rasp:

Okay, I meant the 'profile' then. (It calls it aspect ratio in the eBay alloy section). So if I'm lowering significantly, and adding a full body kit, would 195/50/15 be too much?

Hi, I want to add a full body kit to my Clio mk1, how much should I lower the front and back? Would you normally lower then add body kit, or the other way round? Thanks! :star:

Okay, definitately going for 15" then! :) Now need to decide which tyre 'aspect ratio' to go for. 45 seems to be the norm but I've also heard 50 recommended. What does it mean - what would be the difference? I want to lower my mk1 by 60mm so need wheel clearance.

According to my Haynes Clio modding manual, this should be ET42. I've searched around and a few websites are saying that the wheel can easily be + or - ET5-7. Is this always the case, even if lowering significantly? Would a wheel with ET35 be further inside the wheel arches or stick out more...
