  206 wrc, clio Dimma
Hi All im new to this but was a member some years ago when I had a Clio 1.8 16v. went to a few meets and all that. anyway noticed a thread 2009 asking where the Clio cosworth had gone. well we are now official dealers for Dimma and have been restoring some of the Clio Dimma's and have been offered the chance to restore this beast of all Clio's back to its former glory back as it was in 1994(maxpower march edition). the car as been ripped to bits and doesn't look nothing like it did back then, its been changed to silver and made to look like a maxi. all the inside as been ripped out and is a total mess. we are restoring a Williams at the moment you can see all the images at www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Dimma-uk-Body-styling/113127085364772 I would put pics on here but not sure how to do it. we should also be getting the Peugeot 205 cosworth in shortly reg No' H20 COS mostly famous for maxpower 1993 if any of you remember it. we can supply all the Dimma modifications and also fit. we are also taking on full restorations for any car. check out our website at www.Dimmashop.com and don't forget to ad us on www.facebook.com . best regards

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

Saw a normal Dimma Clio last year and it made my smile, thinking of all those old Max Powers i used to read. The Cosworth must be quite a beast, would be great to see it restored.

I remember both these cars. Still got the magazines.

In the 90's early 2000's, folk seemed a lot more ambitious when it came to modding cars. Instead of coming on forums, asking questions and getting folk saying ''its not worth it'' like today, they just got their heads down and their spanners out and got on with it.

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

Here they are guys, and Andyman yes your right about people messing about and not building cars like this anymore. but there is some out there that pay good money to get these back to how these use to look if not better. its the older guys that's wanting these now not the young kids. these are becoming classics now. the younger ones just keep smashing them up. all the ones we are restoring will be featured back in the magazines so will keep you all posted on that.

thanks for your feed back guys and girls ;-)

Thanks

As I'm in my 40s I remember the clio and 205 dimmas well. That still has road presence :approve:.

Is the kit bolted onto standard wings or a replacement of?

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

I just never 'got' the whole Dimma thing - and that's coming from someone who thinks an Evo VI is an icon of automotive beauty! ;)

I used to see the Dimma-based pictures and think - it would be so much nicer with that kit off. That said, I understand the appeal in making a car look more unique. It just isn't to everyone's taste. :)

Good on you if you're making a decent wedge from it too.

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

When I was a student working p/t in my local Safeway (Giffnock south side Glasgow) a guy I worked with Mathew got a Dimma Clio 16V in blue for his 17th birthday. I was 20 with an 8 y/o R5 GTT & remember being a little envious until end of shift & home time as the 5 was so much faster than the Dimma Clio.

His car featured in 2 car Dimma Clio feature in a winter edition of Max Power with both cars photographed near Edinburgh maybe? Was about 1997/98 period.

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

Marv-c the wings on the front are bolted on and molded into the bottom skirt. Darren S . its just a wide arch thing, you ever like them or u don't. we are also building a 206 wrc cosworth wide arch so that should be fun :)

I realy liked the dimma stuff.

Bit ironic this popping up when max power is closing.

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

The Dimma's were also featured in one of the Max Power Video's - Showed it being fitted etc

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

Jesus christ I remember loving all the Dimma stuff when I was about 14 - I have pics all over my PC of cars I saved in my "Wish Folder" when I was coming up to the age of driving!

I'll try and dig some out!!

Fair play for restoring them back to former glory, although I do not think they're going to look current in anyway and people admiring them will be a very small proportion, I think they have a few more years until they're classed as classics!

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

Are you all having a laugh with "want"????????????????

THE worst lined up rear panel, ever!

How can they justify that design, after all that modification, just mod the boot and create a new rear light style FFS!

Looks like something youve had a go at-

Clio V6 is rather similar in all fairness

Personally, love them pal. And good to see some people are having them restored and looking after them. One day they will be worth a fair whack i reckon.

The 205 was a van wasn't it?? I've got the magazine upstairs i'm sure of it. It was featured with a tiger teddy bear iirc.

Re: Dimma Clio Cosworth

whats with that line in the metal just above the rear window looks like a crease/join.

would still want it though that thing must be crazy fast.
