clean mk2 phase 2 Clio

[toomer]

hello alll,
had my clio for about a year now and wanted something clean/euro but not to over the top so i started off playing about with springs coilovers etc its now running V-MAXX coilovers, with 15 x 7 lenso bsx (fake splits) with stretched 165 50 15 bridgestone potenza's, clio sport grill, and a full colour code.

The results... need more up to date pics so i'll get some when i can .

 

[Beef-Mc]

Actually quite like that.

Not low enough to pull it completely off, needs to be on the floor for euro style. get it dropped more, sort out the stance and its a winner

i know what you mean mate, front is not even an iphone sideways off the ground and hits everything lol but the rear adjusters need taking out the rear to drop it more, its curently that high because i had 195 45 15 tyres and my arches sliced them even going round corners lol. watch this space

Could doo but I'm not after a dramatic drop for the rear the underneath of the car scraps most speedbumps as it is and briging it down to far would get me beached lol cheers anyway

Haha sounds good mate! Yeah it is fun the front end scraping just doing 30 ( I live in the new forest) tbh the pictures don't do Herr justice it's pretty low all round with slight reverse rake but I'm looking in to new wheels so might just go super low on 16's

ok guys small update, had a knocking noise from the front left wheel, so took it off to find my brake pads on the metal, so replaced them and cleaned the inner arch and coilovers so they dont sieze.
sorry for crap pics there taken on my iphone.

before:

afterr:

then i did my engine bay:

then i had a play around with the lowws and i got it to sit like this:

a pic to show the 165's on my 7's

Cheers mate! Umm the v-maxx where around £400 Mate there the cheapest on the Market but I'm dead impressed with them can't fault them at all, colour codeing was £250 by a friend of a friend but it's worth doing mate makes a he'll of a difference! Thanks for the kind comment

Looking good dooode! If your rears are cutting into the side wall head up to Regal, they'll do them for £40 an arch iirc? That's where I got mine done. Then you can space them out a bit more .

Thannkss Mann! There not touching the arches mate they just miss, I'm not brave enough to run 8/9's like you lol but I might just do that as they could do with a little spacing !

 

[Craig.M]

Quite nice that, what did you clean the inside of the archs with

No worrieeesss...How much did you get them fitted for and can you lower them by any amount? Ye first step is to sort out lowering then im guna colour code..but the cheapest quote ive got so far is £400!

 

[Ben]

That looks pretty smart tbf. Maybe some spacers?

S'cool blad . That's alrite then, yea I fubared the back tires on mine cause they were slicing so know what you mean. Haha, it's not being brave mate. :rasp:. Yea man, space them out 10mm and you'll be loving life. Liking the change man! Definately up for a meeeeet up when I'm back in the Costa Del S'oton

I coverd the area with muc off then left it to settle then washed it off with the hose and dry'd with a
Microfibre hope it helps!

 

[Craig.M]

ah right, would that not make the coilovers rust tho

i paid £100 I think at k-tec racing, you just adjust it to what you want by using the c spanner and twisting the collers the lower down the lower your car

Nahh I use it on my motorcross bike all the time it's good stuff!
