For what its worth when lotus prodeces the s1 elise sport 160 they fitted wider rims and tyres which protruded ... they fitted a tiny thin plastic strip to the rear of the arch to make it legal .... and the biggest problem wascstone chip damage to the paint for the very reason the op has ......

So are Be still in the Market ? i was with them for years because they were so good but folded in the end and went to infinity as i wanted the speed and BE were holding back on a fibre product :( (and still are) I have to say i would not want to be any where near Sky .... i worked in the...

they are truly epic ,and i have known a few people who have had them ...... rear suspension ,and brakes make your eyes water though ...... but like anything nice you just have to accept it . proper people mover. one day i will dip into owning an RS2 , just because ...... but good ones are...

I was amazed at the rear setup being french .... I got my contis from merit tyres 326 fitted for 4 ..... which is cheaper than 2 contis for our audi lol .... stuck with 195 45's as I think it feels nicer on turn in . Must order my camber bolts ....

Yes chip no probs , will have to try and meet up and sort it ..... not in any huge rush , its just at a point now where we may as well gain from the exhaust and filter properly , I totally agree with how you found the cooksports and yes i was dubious , not of your opinion but to how they would...

Have to say i am always sceptical putting springs and lowering cars on standard shocks , as the ride and handling really can get messed up. I am used to setting up Track cars , and am used to playing around trying different ride heights and spring rates with coilovers , but i have to say for a...

Well after failing the mot for a track rod end and a broken spring it meant that the wife was going to use our S4 for a week so the clio went into my workshop and up onto stands Wheels went off to city powdercoating , and i decided that looking at the discs they could do with being changed ...

45 x 2 + 7 for fronts ....... ?? or am i in the wrong job /salesman just ordered them from Adam and you were Right (said) Fred ......... and Adam speaks so highly of you LOL

Now thinking i should chuck 2 new ones on mine before throwing the springs on ........ the rears are new , for the sake of 90 quid ???????

Clio 172 cup Audi S4 cabriolet Volvo V60 D4 Porsche 911 SC though the cup is currently on axle stands in the workshop , after fitting lots of new bits

looking at watchdog reports etc even getting a 4 year old car sorted is near impossible ...... oh well i'll ask who they use for bodywork and see what the cost is to have sorted , its only small but it will now bug me . i also have a small patch of clearcoat on the bonnet to sort .

one of my cars for 2 years has had the mileage to the mot station and back , and no more .......

Did the eu mot pass a ruling saying that as long as it had been serviced correctly by a vat registered garage then that was fine due to eu anti competitive laws 3 or 4 years ago ?

They are friendly enough locally and have had it in before to regas the aircon .... they know we apreciate the car for what it is and have seen what else we drive as have popped round in them .... its original paint I know where its been painted and its not the quaters ... will have a friendly...

Now i know clios have a 12 year anti corrosion warranty , and my car has been serviced every year so not missed one (though not all main dealer ) i have noticed on the rear arches that there is some bubbling on the leading edge and its comming from under the paint which is original , not...

Yep .... but then I have cars that have done less than that so always possible

to be honest if you fit springs really you should fit a pair , however if you want a cup front spring mine are coming off this week , one front is broken , the other is fine , and 2 rears ...... pm me if you want to sort them ,

normal service won't be £20 very soon either .

just looked in the service book for mine and it does say that , however ours has had 9 dealer services so far , since its first in 2004 and is about to get number 10 . and its only on 56k miles .

I thought it was anual ...if its 2 years I stand corrected .....

seen it so many times , however there are muppets who pay the polished turd prices , in fact i know a man , and i admire his truly appalling and arrogant turd polishing (usually just verbally on forums) and ends up with people falling over themselves to buy his cars i know what he is like ...

but then you understand sales Daniel , describe it accurately and price it right and it sells . the ones that are misdescribed and overpriced just show the dreamer who sells its view . i didn't get past emails when we first looked for a clio as the amount that claimed "its not done enough...

i was looking as i might have an idea that in 6 months i might change ours its a 53 plate cup with climate it will have had in the last 12 months 2 services 4 new contisports fully refurbed wheels all new discs with brembo HC's and renault rears DS2500's all round New quiet stealth Ktec...

No .... don't worry ..... I have just spent the day going over the one i have on stands in the workshop , its nice to see lots of new shiny bits !! i just happened to see that and didn't get past its missing service history which he bangs on about , i hadn't really looked at the pics ...

Just wonder what people think full service history is ? I just happened to see an advert for a 172 cup on pistonheads and the owner bangs on about its full service history. Now we have always had several cars at any time and some have done very low mileages in some years , does that mean they...

it might see a track .... maybe , if i can be arsed ..... fancy getting back to spa sound like a plan as i have to fit a set due to the mot fail and spring breaking ......may go cooksport then .

10 mins up the road + no brainer , i drove up from surrey , although i got 2 sets done

look nice Matt , went for a hint of blue in mine as they are on a blue 172 cup (or will be when i sort tyres )

s**t , and that's what i have just ordered to go on the car but not had them arrive yet ........ is this on the daily Chip ? as i might cancel the Eibachs and stick some Cooksports on if they are that much better .

ok just a phone pic but i have had a good look over them and they are pretty near perfect , they were pretty bad corroded and peeling , and they look spot on to me same with the audi ones , cannot fault them for the price , and if someone had charge 50 quid a wheel i doubt they would be any...
