Ouch! :eek:

Cheating a bit with the manhole cover lol - I know I used to use ramps for low shots :o
 
The car is clearly on a hill... the back is higher, and the manhole cover adds another inch.

airbags.... great way to ruin a perfectly good car.
 
He does say he's getting the rear done on Weds, so I'm assuming it's still sitting up in the air. Not a huge fan myself, I like cars to be lower, but not too low. Plenty of mods that I'd have though come before airbags, but each to their own, more pics needed when finished!
 
lol, i don't know why everyone is saying it's "too low" or "unpractical"

They are height adjustable at a touch of a button so when the car is being driven it can be at a normal ride height.

The quality of the ride and handling maybe reduced now but he's not a track day wh*re.

and just think, if it's that low when parked it can't be clamped or jacked up:clown:
 
for now it is standard body work, but after winter it wont. rear aint done yet, plus not lost any handling, not any dif that stock suspension, even parked on level ground its that low
 
well you wanna give me 1200 for them, lol, didnt think so, had 3 dif sets of 17s and got bord of them. sticking with these till new1s come in 2-3month as ill have the cash
 
PMSL at not lost handling! with the greatest respect in my experience the "put big wheels and tastless bodykit on a small hatch" crew know as much about handling as i know about brain surgery.
 
gee some of the comments on here have suprised me being a newbie and all.

fred lowers his fook loads and he gets praise for it and just because someone wanted to be a lil differant (ok not to everyones tastes) but how is being low on airbags any differant to coilovers, if not better.

raise it up for practical use, raise it down for show.

i like it
 
airbags and hydraulics may mean you can set the ride height to suit the situation but they dont ride/drive like conventional springs and struts. You sacrifice the way the car drives purely to be able to dump the sills on the tarmac or raise it up. I bought my car to drive it not look at it so airbags or hydraulics are an expensive waste of time IMO.
 
each to there own, some people buy there cars to look good, may drive shite thats upto them, you did'nt need to be so harsh about your comments.

rant over
 
think it looks mint m8.its different which does not suit the c***s on hear. if u dont track it then cant see the problem, how much they set u back?

it was jsut fresh meet for the keyboard warriors
 
what colour you gonna do the car when the kit is done? airbags is a good mod to start with imo if your goin the bodykit route.
 
either keep this gold or go for bmw gold or there brown colour, may sound crap colour but it is nice metalic

ive had the car lowered 60mm before and its no dif now with the bags. car aint for track, why i have bags than coil overs i prefer style than speed if wanted a fast clio i would go buy 172. you may not like it, but who mods there cars for others opinions. will be a show car when fin then ill get some thing fast. so go on about how hate body kits etc aint yours and i llike it and will do as i like. and its the only clio in britain with f.b.s.s kit
 
Sh*t me thats low!

Although its not to my test, but at the end of the day, Your cash, Your car!

Opinions are like ar5e holes....everybodys got one! lol
