I can't take mine off as I don't have my original wheel bolts no more I looked into buying one but I'm not brave enough with the paintwork side of things!
Good of luck though

lol
as long as your careful and take your time, keep it warm and maleable, the paint should be fine, if not go jdm and put some duck tape round the edge of your wheel arch
thanks man
and yeh i was gonna say mine were fucked with no adujusters, they scraped some tyre off just moving the car up my slanted drive
i had to put the locator and adjuster back in the rear spring :/
thanks man, the wheels were cheap! £57 with great condition tyres, no idea how i got them so cheap, had to spend an extra 100 getting them bored out and the tyres on and off to fit on the machine
and nope lol, no spacers anywehre, the offset is 24, compared to the standard 35 ish on a clio tho
cheers man, and yeh i have grown out of love with them, ill see how they look when the rear is colour coded, my only problem is that red lights and orange paint do not look great together :/
may get some cheap tint spray and darken them a little, hides the inside a tad
and yeah lol theres more than expected, i have been very cautious driving round recently, put a mate in the back which resulted in even more damage, but i have learnt from my mistake
my boss today told me that i needed to lower the rear more as apparently it wasnt low enough
he also told me that he had a short peice of scaffold pole and that he would lend it to me to roll my rears, as a body shop quoted £75 per arch!

Nice to see someone of the same wheels, didn't know you'd get it sorted this quickly. They look to be a steal for £57, although I'd be tempted to put 195/50 rather than 205/55. Those tyres were on mine as they were standard on the E30.
RE rolling the arches - I'd get it done, even by yourself. I now rent out the roller to mates, oh also whack a degree of camber on the rears
The tyres catch on the rear bumper bracket (basically a little bit of metal protruding) just needs to rolled out the way.

They were taking up too much room
And yeah I had a good look at them earlier, gonna see what I can do myself
When I sort it, I'll still prob get them rolled, just need a temporary solution for the min

i have the same problem with my drive mate, luckily its not the back that gets it. Its just the splitter scrapes like hell and basically drags gravel from the drive onto the road (actually quite handy as theirs a pothole at the edge of my drive and it seems to be getting filled up due to my car scraping out llf) but im not going to put my adjusters back in i don't think. Just stop taking passengers in the back
Quick update.
Colour coded the rear bumper boot button and sprayed diamonds and Clio badge, fitted my old lights back and re mounted the exhaust
Got in contact with arch enemy to roll my rears, got camber shims to fit and gotta colour code my handles
Here are a few pics
Deciding on my lights
Bad image due to the lack of light, but I'll get a better one tomorrow

Another update...
Changed my lights back to the stock ones, they look much nicer
Fitted colour coded handles to complete my colour coding, and changed my front brakes simply because they squeaked, glad I did as they were fucked
Door handle
New brakes had to drill out a retaining bolt as it had seized, last person hadn't heard of copper grease
The state of the old brakes, notice the rings and rust on the disk! They were ruined Haha

Update
Prepped the car for a long 7 hour drive down to Cornwall which involved taking the exhaust off and raising it all
Had an arch roll from archenemy last sat too
My car was easily the shittest one there, was parked up next to a twin turbo drift spec 350z ...mmmm
Also got a 182 interior minus the front door cards, but I plan to punch out the fabric bits and cover them myself with alacantra

Haha thanks buddy, just got some shims to go on then I'm not gonna spend a dime on the car and start saving for uniLooks great mate
How's your blue baby?
I agree about the stretchGet them alloys on some stretch tyre mates, would look loads better, lovely looking car though, especially the colour
But I have to say I would have kerbed them a few times if they weren't bulging out the sides haha
Titanium 182
Be a better driver then
I've been more careful with mine since I got these alloys on stretch, I just love the lip sticking out.Haha it's only when I get angry, or I'm not paying any attention haha which can be a lot of the timeBe a better driver then
Yeah yours look great, they are perfect and I love the lip! Esp when the car is bagged and it is tucked just over the wheel arch

Just get the stretch done man you'll love it, and if you get that on bags it would be immense.
Haha if I ever have the money! Bags would be insane but they are so pricyJust get the stretch done man you'll love it, and if you get that on bags it would be immense.

I want bags but I can't justify spending so much on it when my car didn't even cost me a grand haha, not worth it, want to do it to my next car that's hopefully worth something.
How cheap did you get the car man? Haha
Think I'll only consider it when I get a mk1 mx5
But defo do it, bags would be insane, just make sure you have enough room for all the air and compressor and s**t lol
