Cheers for that. Seems a good price, cheaper than I thought. Will be calling you end of this month/beginning of next month to book it in. Sorry Elfy for hijacking.

[Elfy]

Lol i don't mind the hijacking. Dan how much did you lower front by for me at a guess? i may raise the rear slightly as arch gaps aren't the same only a touch mind

thanks for the comments

 

[Davis]

Looks great! Very clean and smart!

[Elfy]

Ride isn't as bad as other kits I've had on other cars. front just dropped bother 10mm to try even the arch gaps ;-)

 

[Jimbo_M]

Im liking all the carbon touches mate they work well against the silver!

Whats next for it?

Whats next for it?

Polish up engine bits and forge hoses, carbon engine cover and fuse box cover along with freshenin up the calipers

 

[Elfy]

I have dropped the front another 10mm and had to trim a little bit of arch but sits perfect now, no reverse rake or anything, slight nose down stance.

Giving the car a full going over this weekend, and am going to start polishing up the bay going to take some time but will be worth it.

Pics will come also

 

[Elfy]

As its engine time to make things look decent first thing is getting a few bolts for the new carbon fibre engine cover.

I would just like nice silver/chrome bolts or even the anodised red bolts that you see. Obviously need 4 for the engine cover, 2 shorter at the front.

Can anyone tell me where to get there from and what sizes i would need thread etc? I have seen some on demontweeks but just got confused by all the sizes etc

Any help appreciated

 

[nobblebonce]

looks cool mate, how do u find the v maxx to the cup suspension

 

[Elfy]

I feel the ride is fine on the V-maxx

Anyone able to help with my engine cover bolt issue?

 

[Elfy]

Forge coolant hoses in black ordered along with forge black induction pipe, engine work is starting now

Dazzyb - ah right yeah i know Ray very well, done all the bodywork on my old Punto which was on hydraulics, however he hasn;t touched the clio yet, but will get a front end respray soon
