It's been an amazing thread to read so far, I can't imagine how happy you are to finally have the chance to give it a shakedown and drive it in anger! Can't wait to see how this goes.

I'm glad you've had a go in a car with paddles Mark, how you describe the drive is pretty much on par with the 200 EDC in Sport Mode. It holds the gears much higher, sharper/responsive gear changes and blips the throttle on down shifts. It's an auto in letting it do all the changes in everyday...

I'll be honest the wheel IMO won't want spacing out that much, the rears are already close to the arch edge more so than the fronts. The rears maybe 5-10mm, fronts 10mm maybe 15mm max. Again, based on my findings just lowering on Cooksports makes a difference by filling the arches and giving...

I've done the trip a few times always taking the E40 through Brussels, it's only when you get past that bit hitting the E42 towards Spa you kind of see some scenery. This time I went south a bit more first then headed east below the E40. I came of the E42 much earlier to sample a more scenic...

Just come back from a 4 day driving break through France, Belgium and Germany. Spent Friday night in accommodation near Spa, Belgium and 2 nights in Adenau near the Nurburgring. It was ten years ago to the weekend that a few friends and I made our first ever trip to the Green Hell so we decided...

Keep going.

No, they're definitely not that price.

Put a silver diamond on it 😂

I'm liking it Ian :up:

Mega happy to see my LY in there, on track photo and with the other Clios on parade in the evening

Thanks for all the positive comments it's highly appreciated. Now I know they work i can trigger the next stage of changes to the Clio, not many but enough to make a difference. Also, this is the company that machined the wheels for me. It's a small company but busy, very accommodating...

Mk3 Megane arches grafted on I believe.

Haha!! So maybe a 2 tone black and LY spoiler, was even thinking of painting the Turinis black after seeing the pictures last night. It would colour match everything else.

The more I look the more IMO I think it needs it.

Very lucky, I put a cheeky Facebook shout out to see if any of my friends knew a place local. A mate who runs his own mechanics business put me onto them as he uses them too so jobs a gooden. Usually it's £15 if you have tyres mounted already that need taking off and disposing of.

Yeah the top wing is obviously right across then drops down each side. The original has to come off to make way for a narrower one to tuck in between the top spoiler part.

Only just seen this!! You genuinely make me laugh sometimes :blush: Oh and at 2am shouldn't you have been consummating:wink::grinning:

Are they not 2 piece? Either way an exact copy. Tyres are Yokohama ADO8s with 6ishmm tread, I'll think I'll do the Nurburgring trip on the OE wheels. Now I know the wheels 100% I can now move onto the next stage

I've been put onto someone about a spoiler so there's now an option for one that's much cheaper. All the wheels balanced up fine, I drove about 3 miles on them at 30-40mph and they felt OK with no vibration. I took them off and put the OE wheels back on last night, I'm just debating whether to...

Means a lot coming from you, with the quality of your photos.

:smiley: It's my sisters place, I don't have a driveway so I do all the car shenadigans there. Very accommodating, plenty of cups of coffee and dinner. I painted the wheels in the garden and I have my own shed to store car bits..... I built a 21ft extension to her garage last year to give them...

Non understanings monsiour lol!

As mentioned a bit of a magpie, I paid £275 for a set of 6. They retail new just over £200 each for 17x8s. ADO8s new are approx £100 each So new wheels and tyres is about £1200, I paid just over half that

Just after driving round the block yesterday Looks like it doesn't have tyres Messing about

I can sleep well tonight knowing now I have the approval from the mighty MarkCup. Thank you very much, genuinely :up::cool: I'm a bit of a magpie, don't get me wrong I'll buy new as and when but if I see a bargain that's 2nd hand I'm all over it.

So, these started life as a set of 6 wheels I bought from E Bay off a chap near Shrewsbury. They came off a Subaru Impreza, the same 5 stud pattern, an ET fairly close to OE wheels but centrebores 10mm smaller. I had the centrebores machined out by a local company from 56.1mm to 66.1mm and 2...

250 mile round trip to Southampton this morning to pick up the tyres, managed to find a place to fit them for £30.

Mark, aside of the the car have you thought to maybe do a video of.... How you edit, make the videos? What equipments involved, time and effort into doing each one. I guess a behind the lense look of whats involved, it's becoming an increasing interest what with social media nowadays so (to me)...
