To a complete non-mechanic noob like myself, how easy or difficult is it to lower or raise coilovers yourself?

That looks minty. Always loved the dubs.

just been through this entire thread and i can only hope my flamer looks as good as some of these. Really need to get working on mine.

im 31 and have had my 172 for a month now. Like other people have said, i just couldnt get something like a vectra *shudders* or mondeo. In fact, i think i'd rather walk than own a vauxhall. Hot hatches ftw.

Just ordered mine this afternoon from Horton Skoda in Lincoln for the princely sum of £12.32. I pick it up Tuesday because of the bank holiday. The bloke saw my Clio on the forecourt and asked if it was for it, he said he's ordered more for Clios than Fabia's.

Have just found this for those who are looking for new tyre sizes for rims. http://www.rtecshop.com/?p=calculator

Yep, that's crown st. You know it?

Are the rims 17's mate?

Ok so had it a week and thought id put some pics up. This is completely standard, i havent done anything to it yet at all. First things to do are get rid of all the adverts for the dealer of it, so new plates needed and that crap sticker needs coming off the back, then its a new smaller aerial...

I picked my ph2 172 flamer up today and im in love with it already. Handles so much better than anything ive ever driven before. Its just so mucvh fun to drive. To say im smitten is an understatement. :D

another question... does running 15's have any issues with enough room for the brakes?

that thread makes interesting reading, thanks for that. Definetely food for thought on what choice of rim to go for.

thanks for the replies people. Having looked around the tinterweb, i have to admit you dont see many with rims above 16's. It just seems you dont get the selection at that size. Think im gonna have to do more searching for suitable new boots for me chariot.

Excuse my ignorance or lack of understanding or whatever but I always thought that going a bit bigger rim than what was on your car (whatever car i mean, not just Clio's) would give better road holding, more grip etc. But reading around here, everyone seems to be running 16's or even 15's on...

Ive just been through all 18 pages of this thread and all i can say is what a transformation you've done. The final product looks freekin quality. Front end and back end. :)

i think im going to watch this thread with much interest. Ktec could get a lot of business from this.

Was thinking of getting some myself, only maybe 1 or 0.5 degree, but have read in other places they can wreck your tyres. Would like to hear from someone who's used them.

Phase 2 flame red 172.

the yellow ones do look the dogs. Shame they didnt make more of them.

will do, but it wont be till next weekend at the earliest. Ive got lots of plans. Its just a small matter of paying for it.

Im from Newark but am picking up the new motor from Sutton in Ashfield.

how many flame red 172's were made? It says B76. Is that 876?

Hi there, I just bought myself a 53 plate Clio 172 in metallic red. I havent even picked it up yet, i get it next friday and it will be on the recieving end of a good thrash. :cool: Anyway, hello and all that. :)
