Re: Clio dci 80

This looks really nice mate. I think you should definately go for coilovers i was debating whether to get springs or coilovers but people was saying you will want to go lower and you will especially if the springs aren't that low you will think wish I'd have just bought some coilovers because you can just adjust them to how high or low you want them. will definitely finish it off mate . What headlamps have you got in or is the colour just coming off the indicator bulbs. How much was the bulbs if you don't mind me asking .

Cheers mate, im thinking Koni adjustable shocks with the sportline as everyone highly recommends them, I dont want to have it to low because of all the s**t roads around here. The bulbs are H7 philips diamond vision, I think they were about £25. Thanks for the comment.

Arr if your roads are bad prob not the best having coilovers mate. But ive got races and ones and tbf I don't think there that bad. I've got used to them lol. But tbf they say good as you say everyone recommends them. And are they all the bulbs or just indicators?? And btw pics look awesome in the snow

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

Yeah if I was going to get coil overs then I'd probably want a decent set for the ride quality lol and the indicators are called osram diadem bulbs they have like a rainbow blue colour on them. And thanks the splitter was like a snow plough lol.

yeah prob would be best if the roads are no good mate. And yeah think they look quite nice tbf, I need to get some as I've still got the orange ones lol. But think I wanna get new headlight bulbs aswell :\. And lol, what splitter is it ?

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

Yeah I think that's what I'm gonna go for next year or just get some brand new standard shocks with the sport lines. And yeah get some 5000k headlight bulbs like osram or philips.

Re: Clio dci 80

Where did you get the silver 16v bullets from mate? Looking at getting some or spraying mine as im getting side strips colour coded.

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

They are the dci bullets mate just sprayed white.

 

[Wayne-G]

Re: Clio dci 80

Looking very nice this! Inspiration for mine should have a Mini meet when the weather picks up at Hartside cafe as im only from Weardale!

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

Thanks mate and yeah definitely, sounds good. there's a lake meet next Sunday I think.

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

Thanks Its getting corrected tomorrow properly so should look better, and just used some gloss white from halfords, should have used plastic primer though because its satarted to flake going to get sprayshck to do them for me.

 

[Blacky950]

Pretty Big Update, I had a bit of an accident with a hedge last week which resulted in a broken bumper, passenger wing and headlight. So thought it was a perfect chance to get a 172 front bumper, wings skirts and arch liners. Never thought of making it a rep but might as well now.

So got all the bumpers etc on Friday and set out Sunday morning getting it all on, went on all okay apart from a broken wing , didnt finish till it was dark, So will give it a clean and get some pictures up at the weekend.

Thanks for looking!

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

Got round to cleaning the car today, tell me what you think.

Thanks

Re: Clio dci 80

Nice car. Thought about following the same path with mine, but went with black and carbon fiber instead.
How did the wheel spacers affected the handling and behavior of the car?

Re: Clio dci 80

Can i havr my dci back pls ?

srs, dci reps are biggin it up now nice looking car mate. Center caps needed asap!

 

[Blacky950]

Re: Clio dci 80

Thanks mate, alright cool, and didnt really notice any difference tbh, just got them for the looks, it looks a bit stupid because the wheels are tucked so far into the 172 arches without the spacers on.

Lol Never!! Hows yours coming along now, havent been on your thread for a bit. gonna check it out now!

Yeah ha wasnt even thinking of a rep tbh just when I broke the bumper thought it would be cheaper to replace with 172 parts, and in a way it has lol.

dam lol, yeah mines coming along a fair bit now, ready for paint when the weather picks up....

same with me, cheaper to buy sport bumpers than standard ones. suppose it makes the look about more ' sporty ' with its grunt under the bonnet

 

[Kieran..]

looks good! but you need a new splitter as its way too short one side and fitted badly! lol
