Apart from that you could always offer to do all the prep work yourself, i.e the sanding down) and ask how much just to prime, paint and laqure?

People will tell you that you get what you pay for, but if you see somewhere which has done good quality work, or when you go down there seems very professional then i wouldnt shy away. At the end of the day if your not happy with it and have a valid point i'm sure the place would do it again...

Tbh mate i cant remember how i did it, but i have a very early mk2 ph1 so it has the same engine as yours, and i had an IK on there just fine, i'll have a look at my engine for you tmrw and figure out how i did it and let you know. Its easy enough though, as i'm no mechanic.

Cable tie? ;) (its only clipped to the air box)

Exhaust was stolen... yes stolen.. (avatar is just my way of remebering it) :( Dont worry AR, lowering is top of the list tbh!

Lack? On my 8v it was crazy loud compared to a friends 1.4 polo and another friends 106 gti! Wish i''d never got rid of it!! On topic: Looks MUCH better than the orange brush painted one! Also glad to see you got a CAF to that induction kit now! Made a difference?

No not yet! (In planned mods) I always manage to make it look even higher than it is in photos, maybe i should just stop taking pics... :o

Well after fitting my new wheels and waking up to a lovely day,i decided a good clean in and out was needed! (Sorry for the pics, only taken on my phone) Mods in the next few months will be: Eibach Sportlines Ph2 colour coded side strips Silver visions Dual optics (depending upon being able to...

Re: Not really from the beginning but my project Looks good mate, how hard were the clocks to do? I wasnt sure if you could put the better clocks into the ph1's!!? What model were they from?

Wanted a 172 bumper but got this so cheap i couldnt turn it down. Whole ph2 rear didnt cost me anything so can always change the bumper in the future. Gave it a good clean (inside and out), destickered all the crappy dealer stickers, put on my CS sticker on and CS tax disc holder today, pics in...

Colour code or lower are your best options. Both make a good difference to looks!

Changed my mind.... without... sell them to me... ;)

With! Where are they from??

Van drivers can't see out of the rear window, just use your wing mirrors and man up! With the seats down flat you can get a suprising amount of crap in the wee thing!

After a quick test managed to get 77mph'ish before i changed as i didnt wanna hit the limiter, think it probably would just do it, despite sounding like it wanted to explode.

New fiesta with a renault badge anyone?

You say about struggling to get to 80 in 5th, but to be honest it all depends how hard you're willing to push the engine. When i first got my car i really thought it was awful on motorways and had no power at all, but now i'm willing to take it to the top end of the revs its quite different, i'm...

Possibly, i'll try it out for you in the next few days. I know i've definately been at 70 in 3rd.

Cheers Da, i thought this would be the case, and i agree about what you said about eibach but the thing that confuses me is this... Would the weight difference not be much greater between a 1.4 and 2.0 compared to a 1.2 and 1.4? If this is the case how can a spring be suitable for all of the...

Lowered with white diamond

I'll lower and do white diamond, but the rest sounds like a lot of effort!

Looks as though you've bent the brackets that hold the bumper etc in place, if you take it all off, i mean everything, bumper, wing, front little grille bit, light and then take a look at the brackets maybe some can be bent back into place. Refit it all it should look a lot better! If you...

+1 and the ph2 172 bumper on it is just perfection!

You should get your car weighed now, or should have or should still (if you still have it) weigh the entire contents of your interior, i mean every little bit, giving you a new car weight and then a new BHP per tonne. I'm not quite with you on the 172 thing, but i'm quite interested to know...

Theres 2 more lads in sidcup that i met last week, and i'm pretty sure theres someone else in orpington! (cant remember who but i remember talking to him ages ago) Theres probably a fair few more around here but more of the meets near us tend to be southend based etc so dont really get to know...

I'm aware that there are two different sets of sportlines for the mk2 clio, those for the 1.2 and those for EVERY other model. Now my question is, is weight the only deciding factor here are or are there any fittiments which are different on the 1.2 compared to any of the other clios? If not...

Another one local! Good stuff! Biggest difference being when i was 17 i hadnt really been on forums etc and just went along with what i thought was "cool"! Cheers for the comments! Glad it meets CS approval :P

seems to just want a reaction tbqh, i'm waiting on a speedo 0-60 vid before i comment...

How? JUST HOW? The first time i've seen a set of 2nd hand sportlines for my car in forever, and they're sold before they are even in the for sale section, think i'm gonna have a breakdown... Cheers anyway mate ;)
