A few changes . . .

[Gareth]

Made a few changes to the car over the forum change, changed Registration to new one, fitted BBPT Powerslot Discs and Pagid Fast Road Pads front and rear, returned the car to the original 16s from 17s, feels so much faster and handles so much better now!

SUCH an improvement mate!

looks far, far better with th 16's on. I don't need to tell you about the improved road manners too eh?!
Nice Mk2.

 

[Gareth]

yeah its good to see the full effect of the Eibach Pro's again!!

 

[GarethM]

very nice dude and much better

 

[Gareth]

paid for it in full as well!

 

[GarethM]

you mean the car?

 

[Christopher]

Iv had Pagid pads on both my Clios. very good they are too.

squeek a bit in the morning though. lol

although your grooved discs should help a bit with the squeeking.

 

[Gareth]

noticed they are squeeking, but figured they are bedding in? still waiting for the pagid pads to arrive for the rear, the old pads are still on the rear with the new disc. The old front pads fell apart in my hand when I removed them!!

 

[GarethM]

lol^^^ they must have been old!!!

 

[Christopher]

they always squeek from cold due to the compound.

i' ve seen cars with pads so worn they needed new discs, so you weren't too bad fella.
How are you finding the front discs compared to the OE items?

 

[Gareth]

good, its a bit difficult to tell to be honest mate, as I haven't been using the car for quite a while, today is the first time it has been driven properly in a while, £44 to fill the f**ker too! , they seem good though. Only done about 30 miles with them though.

 

[Adam]

yeah looks better that bud...nice.

 

[Djw Dave]

looks 100* better mate.

 

[David]

much prefered it with the 17s on but there u go. It now looks standard so thats good from a selling perspective etc...

I liked the old wheels.

 

[Ratty]

Looks much better, any plans for aftermarket rims? like the new reg too.

 

[Gareth]

yeah 16" Turinis when I can get hold of them.

 

[Gareth]

took some better pics (after washing it)

 

[clio_rt_1.4]

Stunning

 

[cliomadness]

what did you do with the old plate mate?

I must admit I did like the way it looked before but I'm sure it'll look just as good once you've got the turini's on!

 

[Gareth]

the old plate is on my other car (clio 1.5 dci) until it is sold. Wheels are too standard for my liking, will either be a refurb in a different finish, or more than likely Turinis, definately 16"s though, car feels much better for it, liked the look of the 17"s though, but they are "Bling" and 16"s are for proper driving.

Minter mate. how come you changed the reg??

 

[Ad]

Just read it now mate!!! Was still on first page :-$

 

[Gareth]

girlfriend didn't like the wrong attention i got because of it, and it was too 'boy racer' for me.

 

[Clarkie172]

lol i like the old plates and wheels better mate

 

[Gareth]

i liked the old wheels better too, but the ride and handling suffered far too much for my liking, its all about the driving experience for me now.

 

[Leeshez]

Looks

 

[Jonaldinho]

Stunning

^ I'll second that

 

[patty]

[Gareth]
