Hey mate, sorry for the late reply. I got them from eBay. The link I had has expired now though.

LED fog lights and 8000k HID bulbs are in. Also fitted some under door LED light strips that are connected up to the interior light. Will get some pictures uploaded this week.

The girlfriend brought me a set of In Phase 200w component speakers for Christmas to, which will hopefully get fitted soon along with a sub.

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

It's been a while since I've done anything on my car, mainly due to funds. I decided to buy a set of turinis with tyres as I needed two new front tyres anyway. It didn't cost too much more for a full set of turinis with tyres, so it made sense. Took a drive up to Middlesbrough to pick them up from ClioDS on here earlier last week.

So with the help of Rob_SRi and his jack, we got the clio up in the air and started taking off the wheels.

The turinis cleaned and ready to go on...

Fitting them on...

Nuts were cracked... literally!

One of the nuts heads snapped off and this is how it looks... not too sure how I'm going to get that one out.

Finished result...

Just need to buy some Eibach Springs and get it lowered a bit now...

Just brought some Eibach Sportline springs from someone on here. Looking forward to getting them fitted.

Just a quick update... I finally got the sheered wheel nut removed from my wheel today, after months of it just sitting in there. The garage I took it to had to weld some metal on to what was left of the wheel nut and use that to screw it off. Here's how that wheel nut looks now...

I also brought some Eibach Sportline springs from pbufton on here the other day. They have arrived in the post today and I will be looking at getting them fitted in a few weeks.

I've finally had the Eibach Sportlines fitted. Will get some pictures up w̶h̶e̶n̶ if the weather picks up and my car isn't covered in grit, salt and whatever other sh*t the roads are throwing at it.

Just had a read through the thread, looking good.

Just wondering what effect if any the eibachs have had in apperance and handling?

 

[Lordman]

Literally just had my sportlines fitted this Saturday been, great minds think alike no?

They make so much difference, give the car a nice drop without it been to impractical and you can actually accelerate out of a corner without bricking yourself

Its coming along nicely mate :approve:

Where did you get your front tow ring from?

 

[cliokid gilmour]

[loczero]

Please don't jack your car up in the middle of the sill lol, you'll end up with a kinked quarter panel.

This.

Usually if you jack just behind the subframe on the chassis, it's stiff enough to lift the rear wheel when it gets to a certain height anyway.

I've recently sold this on to -Chris on here after buying a LY R27. You can follow the progress via Chris' project thread here.
