clio 1.2



  Grande 1.2
I think it's looking good at the height it's at. What's it lowered on / by atm?

its 40mil.. Ive seen some other lads with the clios touching the floor almost! haha, I mean i know its not ideal, especially since i live in speed bump city!! but it looks good i think

Lucky guy. I've got a few bits to spray but also have be presented with the problem of some lacquer peel. Feck.

Eibach or Apex springs btw?
 
  Grande 1.2
I honestly cant remember mate, it was about two years ago that i lowered it, and back then i knew nothing about cars! never took notice, just bought the goods, and got a mate to help me do it. send me a link to your thread mate.

I got advised somewhere online to use a citreon c1 aeriel, as i was looking for a fat short replacement for my standard aeriel.

The old aeriel was so badly seized up, i had to take the whole thing out to unscrew the mast.

I had to use plyers to grip it to unscrew it, and ended up damaging it!! :(

In the end, I think the C1 chod looks sh*t, but on the posotive, it did recieve good radio signal..

So im still looking for a decent aeriel replacement, would like to avoid aftermarket parts, so for now, maybe ill stick with standard:cool:

Has anyone got any decent ideas for an aeriel i could use, I seem to think mazda aeriels may fit/look decent:evil:.

Been busy lately with the car, but now im truly skint

I decided id give the engine a propper clean out, change water, top up oil etc. and I also swapped the spark plugs for some new ones. altogether it seems to be driving that bit smoother.

those wheels look so much better, my wheels have arrived, and after a good clean i attempted to get them on, but couldnt get my locking wheel nuts off :(
how much did the garage charge you to take off and fit new ones?
 
  Grande 1.2
arite mate, it was 20 quid, but they did the wheel change for free, it took em 5 mins. i went to get the snapped in bolt screwed out. was qouted £100 at another place!!

you pleased with your delivery??

  Grande 1.2
you need some tyres too dont ya?? ha im gonna attempt to sell my old wolfrace ones, there so badly kurbed, ones got a puncture. ha ill be lucky if i get a tenner! they do have good tread on though, so someone might buy them for the tyres!

cant wait to see the dezents on urs man!
 
  Monaco 172
all you need now is to colour code the bumpers, and space those wheels out!! hahaa the back is stuck in ;)
 
  Grande 1.2
haha its weird though, becuase they look to far out if you look directly from the back, but on side etc. they do look tucked in.

when are yours going on?

Bonnets smart i think, it proper carbon? looks so much better without them chippy lights on, dropped and dark wheels and you got yourself a winner ;)
 
  Grande 1.2
cheers dude.. not many people like the bonnet too much, but ive always loved carbon bonnets. yeah its real mate. haha the chippy lights! im not gonna lie, a part of me misses them! im sticking with these wheels for now on, but one day i might come to respray them like a gunmetal colour...
 
  Grande 1.2
Looks alot better than the start of the thread mate.
Coilovers are definatley needed next :)

thanks mate. yeah i do want it lower, cant really do anything costy to it anymore though, as im starting uni next month!! so will need all my money. respraying the bumpers silver wont cost too much with rattle cans though. so thats what ill probably do next
