[Tom]

hmm same as mine (but mine is silver)

is it still useable any problems?

cheers monk!!

 

[The Monk]

when you look at the front and backend it look so MEAN cause it so low, the only problem was when you hit a pothole, but then u learn to drive round it instead of into it lol, got 17s on now and the ride is much better due to the bigger wheels riding over the hole.

seriously though because it look so nice with 14s on, if i had a spare grand i would get the Schmit TH-Lines wheels (hand-made and splitrim, very strong)and go for the euro look, heres a couple of picture of what itll look like, time to save up methink

[Tom]

nah mate humming catch the pigeon all day would annoy me

sorry but the clio just aint ready fo them

 

[Fred@BTM]

You still up for lowering it at BRANDS HATCH????

 

[Tom]

yeah fred got 60mm pi springs from cupsize? for £40

only problem is do i need to undo anything inside the boot of the car?

(ice install, can be removed quite quickly if i do i will leave it at home.)

 

[Fred@BTM]

Yeah, the two nuts under the rubber covers on each side of the boot but thats it

Speaking as a superleggera owner (17"s) i would advise you to go for 16"s! SuperLs really do look a size smaller than they really are - which is their only downfall! So i fear that some 15s will look teeny tiny! Unless thats what you want of course!?

 

[viceroy]

Well Im currently running 15" TSW Imolas (quite similar to the superleggeras but with more spokes) and they look pretty damn nice on my car....definately need to drop it though

[Fred@BTM]

If only it looked like that now!!!!!! Its currently in bits!!!!

 

[ClioJohn]

one thing i dont like on your car is the sunstrip fred.

My cars in getting a tint right now and i made sure they understood....NO SUN STRIP!

hehe

 

[Fred@BTM]

Just remembering my boy racer days!!!! I like it, and its my car so sod off!!!! (said in a joking way!!!)

 

[Tom]

didnt notice it until you pointed it out

did you colour code your bumper/get a new one?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Its going to the bodyshop on Tuesday for a new front bumper, new drivers side wing (which ive got) + all colour coding then all i need is to get one wheel straigtened and three of them powder coated all before Saturday!!!!!

 

[Tom]

what bumper? normal or 172?

 

[Fred@BTM]

normal, theres no point really with a 172, cos i need to replace both front wings for 172 ones+get them sprayed (the doors would need to be done as well for a colour match). 172s have got a wider front track as well, so my front wheels would be dwarfed by the larger font wings, and finally im not made of money!!!!!

 

[Tom]

i thought it was the same on a mk2?

still its gonna look superb mate

 

[Fred@BTM]

The MK2 has wider front wings+track and a wider front bumper

 

[Tom]

oh ok same as the mk1 then

hmm you learn something every day

still up for slamming my motor?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Hell yeah!!!!! Slam it on the deck!!!!
