Right update time
Sunday evening I decided I was going to put my wheels on, started off well:
First wheel on doing back up the nuts then crack:
Not good, so the car sat there for a while whilst I waited for some locking nuts to arrive they haven't come yet so I managed to get another nut...
Lol! Beat you, I don't think your car can get much more unique tbh!
Other 2 tyres fitted today so wheels should be on at the weekend weather permitting
Cheers naith.
The wheels were 40 quid each and 25 for the centre caps to be sprayed, I had the tyres off the rims already so I guess that might change the price a little
out of interest how much are they at WRC? Looking to get lucys wheels refurbed soon
Another quick update
Trial fitted 2 of the 172 wheels today, the other 2 have tyres going on tuesday. I went for rainsport 2's after reading review after review, these seemed to be reccomended quite highly so thought I would give them a try
anyway pics:
I now need to decide whether to...
Slight Update
Finally got my 172 wheels refurbed, I tried to do them myself but couldn't get them to a quality I was happy with so took them to F&M powdercoating in Preston and got them back today:
I went a bit overboard on the sealing and did 2 coats of SRP and 3 coats of poorboys...
Im going to have to pull out of this :(
dog sitting in the morning (yes dog sitting lol) will hopefully be able to join up on route though in the afternoon if everyones still about :)
Car looks awesome! got to love a bit of k4m
Do you need to run spacers with these rokkors or are they okay without? sorry about all the questions, I seem to pick your brain in every thread!
Thanks
Paul :)

Its a hard choice isnt it!
Found them a bit cheaper here: http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprated/fk-highsport-coilovers/renault/clio.html But its just whether they are worth the extra money over vmaxx
Sorry to bump this up again, but thought I might aswell use the thread I started before.
Upon more searching I've read a few people have had to use spacers on the front with the highsports is this a must ? or with proper set up etc arent they needed?
Thanks for the help
Paul
