182 Touge/Tuner Build

Aye, they've done a cracking job with that actually! Good to know that the kit'll look good once painted up & fitted.

There's a few bits that aren't the most cohesive like the upholstery and 3D plate (a little tiktok-tastic for me, I'm shooting for a period Sports Compact feel), but nonetheless it looks the business.

I suppose my point of the post was to highlight that on occasions 17’s suit the application, particularly with a bodykit similar to yours. I get that you have already expressed your reluctance to it, but aesthetics count on a car like this. All IMO though 🙂

A local lad is running 17" Team Dynamics on his non-sport and it looks the business bar the curbing and arch gap (I'm hooking him up with some springs to fix the latter, and have sent him the details of my powdercoat/refurb guy).

The idea's growing on me lol, you're steering me that way

I've also had some 15" Rays TE37s offered to me for a good price though, so I'm also tempted to go the other way & fill the arch with sidewall. 🤔

These have been dangled before me at an exceedingly good price as well and it's VERY tempting.

...has anyone put TE37s on a Clio before actually?

Not TE37’s but @MrBlonde had some lovely RPF1’s on his 182 in 15” flavour.

15’s may look a little lost though, they are much more suited to a less is more kind of build.
