Clio 3 Project... Sporty Styling

Right well I feel its time for me to share my plans and current bits and bobs going on with my vehicle.

First thing I have done is fit a Green Performance Panel filter. Enhancement in performance is debatable but IMO the car does pull away better and attack hills with out such a fight, as for sound it sounds a litle less mincey being a 1.2 I don't want it sounding like a fat person burping :rasp:

I have purchased some Eibach Proline -30mm springs, no pics or review as of yet as the correct ones haven't arrived yet but all being well (and it had better be ;) ) they should be on next Saturday.



My body kite arrived Friday. Got a deal on getting it painted so will see how much I have left after my next pay cheque and see if I can get it all painted and fitted some time soon:

An unexpected job I had to do was buying a new wheel and tyre after my other one bit the dust (litterally). Thankfuly I wasn't stung badly for a new wheel and got the tyrer cheaper through work which is cool :)

Other little bits forgot to mention :rasp: :

I have changed the head lights for some 8K bulbs from Halfrauds.

I am looking into getting some spacers to push the wheels out abit.

I will get it cleaned soon :D

Re: Clio 3 Project... On a budget :)

The new one is on the other side but yes all Proxes on it. I having two new on the front then putting one of the old fronts on the rear as one of them is unevenly worn.

Halfrauds do tinting spray?

Re: Clio 3 Project... On a budget :)

HAHA go for it :)

According to the Eibach website the 1.4+ engines are 100kg heavier on the front axel, meaning it will be too stiff and wont lower the front end as much + wont handle as it should.

Re: Clio 3 Project... On a budget :)

Had a problem with my spacers last night; The wheel bolts where too long and jammed my front hubs :( Thankfuly Russ@Gas is sending me out some shorter replacements :)

My tinting spray arrived today so I set out to shmoke my side repeaters.
