Do you mean the discs or pads?
Probably not the best but I just found a pair of Quinton Hazell Discs in Halfords and they had them in stock so I just picked them up lol. Only £35. but meh Its only a 1.2 they seem fine to me.
Don't know if this helps but this is what I did for my Vmaxx Rear struts. The Black line is hole where the strut goes through, so green rubber goes on, strut through hole, then blue yellow and pink go on from the top.
Don't know if this is any similar to the Rokkor ones.
Its very rewarding when you get it right. You need to sand the bullets down first to remove the old paint, before you put primer on. One thing I found as a novice was to use too little paint a lot of times, rather than too much paint in one go, othewise you get drip lines. Laquer especially. If...
Pioneer do a set of straight swap component speakers specially for the Clio, that's the 13cm ones in the doors and the two little tweeters in the dash. A few on here have done that I think. They should be an improvement on the standard set up and would be the easiest if you wanted to upgrade the...
Ah nice nice. Yea you got nothing to lose if your doing them on a spare pair. Plus being paint if it goes wrong you can just sand the colour down and start again.
Don't know if this helps re colour code.

not much help about the paint code for that sorry,
But a lot of people do the bullet colour to match the wheel colour, and then the lettering to match the actual car colour. Looks good and makes it stand out a bit more :)
EDIT: My bad I missed the other links at the top of that website.
So If I get them to do it they'll sort out these all at the same time as part of the wheel alignment, or do you have to get them to do these bits individually?
Camber | Caster | Toe | KPI or SAI | Thrust Angle | Setback
I sprayed the whole thing with a few coats of pimer then the base colour, then just painted the numbers with the other colour straight over the top, then spray laquered the whole things a few times.
I've been wondering about this as well.
Does anyone have like a comprehensive list of all the things that need setting up once you've fitted coilovers?
I did my lettering with a touch up pen. I used the little brush and just took it really slowly and carefully.
I didn't mask anything off, but I just had a small piece of cardboard with a straight edge, I just held that against the side of the bit of the letter I was painting, and moved it...
I don't know if its the same for a 172 as my 1.2, but I recently changed my clutch.
I was recommended http://www.eurocarparts.com
Mine was £85 for a Valeo one. I phoned my nearest one and they had it in stock so I picked it up straight away.
Just beware if your planning on plugging in an ipod with loads of songs with headunits that only let you browse through the songs one at a time. Like you do with a CD.
If you have a playlist of say 20 songs, its fine.
If you have an ipod of say 100 songs, I found only being able to scroll...
Definitely recommend the Alpine Headunit. Alpine IDA X305 is the best for controlling the Ipod from the headunit. The navigation wheel and colour screen mean its like operating the Ipod.
I've had other Ipod headunits, and although some do display the song information, its hard to navigate...
I'm not going to go down the rep route totally.
Just want a sportier looking non sport!
Untill I have enough money and enough driving experience to own a Rsport :)
Thankyou!
Still got a few bits I'd like to do:
-Sport [Top] Front Grill
-172 Pearl Black rear bumper
-Spacers and/or
-172 16" Alloys done in same colour (maybe)
This is my favourite photo, especially with a bit of cropping, looks very aggressive I think:
Thanks for all the comments!
-Wheels are 15" done in Peugeot Steel Grey, Gloss black Diamonds
-Bullets are Peugeot Steel Grey with Gloss black lettering
-Diamond is Peugeot Steel Grey
-Splitter is the big one off a Renault Megane
-Its lowered on Vmaxx Non sport Coilovers ~ 60mm at a...
I think the colour in the cup isn't a true representation of what the colour will actually look like when sprayed/laquered. Plus they'll be differences in light etc.
If he's mixed it up with the correct quantities it should be the same.
I guess the best thing you can do is try it on a...
Thanks
Being 15" they're only 185 I think...
Yea I agree, but I went for the cheap option, DIY Resprayed for £35. Cheaper tyres too. Plus no worries about fitting.
Following my thread the other week, I finally managed to get nearly everything I've been working on over the past month together, and gave it a quick clean. Im really pleased how its turned out.
Still got a few little bits to do, but Mods to date are:
-Coilovers
-Fat Megane Splitter...
Thanks. Yea but I quite like the fact its neat and subtle.
Its just the bottom URL cut out from the normal Cliosport logo.
But Its external coz of the tints.
You can take it off and spray it yourself. I found it easier if to take the front bumper off, then you can push the diamond from behind, although it does just unclip so you can do it from the front.
Re. Spraying the diamond, It's fairly easy to do yourself, just needs sanding and...
