1.2 dynamique plans :D

[TGB]

just got my hands on some 172 wheels, there black atm but im thinking about painting them white!
white badges, white interior bits etc
then dropping her by 40mm

dont want to go over the top as i think non sports should be subtle. :rasp:

opinions? :approve:

Sounds like a good plan, you getting coilovers? Or Springs like your missus?

 

[TGB]

i want coilovers, but dont think i can afford them :/
so think its going to be some apex or eibachs

its insurance aswell, as im only 17! i can get away with a 40mm drop but doubt i coud get coilies

 

[SimonR.]

I have the same colour scheme, have a look if you're pondering

Can get some Raceland (Rokkor) coilovers for about £163, and just tell them your going to lower by 40mm, they will never know if you slam it :rasp:

 

[TGB]

That's not a bad idea actually where do you get them from?
How hard are coilovers to fit? Can you do them yourself?

im 18 i have coilovers on my car,only cost me an extra £70 a year. and as to how hard they are to fit, there easier than springs to be honest.

That's quality which insurance company are you with? Did you declare them as coilovers?

Well Rokkor used to sell coilovers for Clio but for some reason they have stopped selling them to the UK now. But I believe its the same company as Raceland, so its worth popping them an email. I know Littlegh from here just got some, so maybe pop him a PM http://www.cliosport.net/forum/member.php?52733-littlegh

Im with admiral and they know about my coilovers and its only added £42 a year to my insurance.

They do still sell them just not on eBay. Email them on the website but remember uk store not us/mexico

 

[TGB]

I'm with admiral aswell, how old were you when you got that quote?

 

[Finnie1.2]

No worries mate. I was 19 at the time, but ive insured other mods like my exhaust system and wheels when I was 17/18 and it didnt add much.

admiral are awesome tbh! they sorted me out a treat when I had to declare my old suspension on my 172

 

[TGB]

Bloke I was buying the 172 wheels off never got back to me! Good job I didn't pay him. eBay for you!
Hopefully buying some of someone on here

So the plans will still happen

[ClioCrew]

[Mattb.SHED]

how much do rokkors lower by?

I think they are about 100mm, I have some coilies called TA Technix, they lower 120mm all round

bloody hell!

 

[Mattb.SHED]

bloody hell!

LoL mines about 90mm front and I scrape every bump and my tyres rub on the arches when I put full lock on :rasp:

 

[Chrisburney]

drop it to 60mm, looks really smart, and avoids scraping like the 90mm. But at 60mm your in for abit of a bumpy ride :approve:
