*Bagged Clio III*

[RDH]

Not my cuppa, but each to their own.

Don't get the whole 'I like it because it is different' rubbish.

 

[Donny_Dog]

Lol, indeed, and more to the point its NOT different, its just like all the other dropped on their arses scene cars, thousands of people all being "different" in exactly the same way, so nothing actually different about it in reality anyway.

You're different though chip.

Jus sayin

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah it looks like a nice example of the now very popular "mad lowz and small rimz" car scene.

 

[krisg22]

Nice car and I think it's good
How your Trying to personalise it rather then just keep it the way it is keep up the work.

What ur plans for it?

Plans are a full retrim of the interior and I was thinking of mapping it but not too sure if I will or not..

You really aren't a fan of this are you :butt:

A fair few people die every year as a result of bouncing off the road in cars with no suspension travel where they have been lowered too much, suspension is there for a reason, I think its a pretty stupid thing to lose your life over TBH, so Im very much against the whole "make your car handle far worse for some weird car fashion everyone is doing" type of mods in general mate.
As I said though, yours looks far better done than most and at least you can raise it up to have some travel again when you arent wanting to chav it about looking silly.

Fair enough, it has been professionally fitted so you cant really tar me with the same brush as people who lower their car too much, the people who cause those accidents are folk with cut springs etc , not people with professionally fitted air suspension that costs 2k...

 

[Gouldy]

I love CS logic.

A 64 impala on bags; "awesome"

A mk3 clip on bags; "retarded"

Samez logicz in it y0?

If a car is driven fast round a corner with an undulation in it and its sat with no suspension travel when it does so, the laws of physics dont care how much money you have spent to get no travel or not.

Impala looks classy, Mk3 Clio looks chav IMO

 

[GiT]

Looks ruined. But I'm old @ 36 and drive a Ford Limo.

If I were 18 Again I'm sure i'd be man-juicin' my monitor. But I aint.

 

[rankins]

looks epic imo, seen it at fcs when paulbag owned it and i was a fan then but them wheels make it look far better, just add your own touches to it to make it your own good work

 

[krisg22]

Cheers lad, I intend on adding my own touches

 

[Jon.G]

Love it!

 

[MechanicalR]

That things so low it could pass for a hovercraft!

 

[Toby.]

I love it, but I reckon the boot is crying out to be smoothed!

 

[Owen_m]

Looks sick mate, i don't get the haters cause its bags lol can have it has low or has high as you want like you said

 

[krisg22]

Cheers lads

 

[Mickb]

[Fraser.J.]

Looks great!! Really suits the wheels and stand is spot on!

 

[krisg22]

Cheers mate

 

[ScarySquirrel]

No offense, but it looks ridiculous being that low. How is that even drivable on the majority of the roads in the UK? How do you park if you want to head to the shops? What if you see a speedbump? Do you have a map with marked out roads of where you can actually drive that thing?

Each to their own I suppose.

 

[Mickb]

yet another that fails to understand air ride or who hasnt read the thread.

 

[RDH]

Whether it is on air or not and therefore useable, to my eyes it just looks constantly broken.

Indeed air just gives you the choice of looking gash or looking normal while all the time handling worse and being heavy.

Hydraulic rams and bouncing about is still cool though. Lol.

 

[Blox]

looks very nice, like how you've left it clean as possible, keep up the work!

Just to add, people who dont understand air ride, do your homework before you call it impractical

We have. Air pwns all apparantly.

Who on this thread doesnt understand air ride though? Its not exactly complicated its just a case of you can raise and lower your now worse handling and heavier car up and down. Practical for getting over speed bumps, just rubbish from a handling point of view, to the point of being dangerous if the user is silly enough to actually drive around at speed with it sat with no room for travel.

Only person I have noticed so far on this thread not understanding it properly from the point of view of handling implications is the car's owner TBH

 

[Silent_Scone]

I don't hate it. It looks nice, for sure. But it's still dumb. You don't see people praising buses when they stance to the left to let the elderly off.

Lad in the office who's 18 just said it would look 'right if it didn't have that s**t kit on it lol.

Tbf, I'd wager that the owner really doesn't care about the handling from a performance point of view. Low is a lifestyle, init blad.

It's not for me, but it's well done for what it is.

I agree, I didnt say he cared about it, just that he doesnt understand it judging by his previous "better than any coilovers comments" etc with regards to handling.

It's not for me, but it's well done for what it is.

Agreed, its a good example of a cleanly presented "mad lowz init" style of car that is now a very common theme to follow at the moment. Especially by all the kids "trying to be different" by all doing the same thing ironically, lol

 

[Hixle]

Gotcha.

Oh, and it's all about the indervijuwality, init. It's just a fad though, when I was 16 I wanted to build a corsa B with flip paint. Lol.

Lol, I knew someone who spent 10s of Ks on visual mods to a nova, hateful thing it was.

Again he was of the opinion at the time that he was being "different" with mad flip paint and a jap style bodykit etc,and so did all the countless other people who were being different doing exactly the same thing more or less, lol

 

[krisg22]

I clearly do know what I'm on about Chip

I know two people, one with a mk5 golf on air and one with a mk4 r32 on coilovers. The r32 could not keep up with the golf around the corners.

That was what I was meaning with the spending 5k on air can make the handling better than 1k worth of coilovers.

Do your research on air before you start slagging it....


(I'm not saying mine handles better than coilovers on its current air setup, I'm just stating what I meant in previous comments)
