Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
Gonna take some work to fit them, arch rolling, camber, stretch tyres, maybe need to flare the arches but hope not! also the roof, spoiler, wing mirrors and the rear bumper will be going a different colour hopefully before xmas

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
decent stretch and i dont think youll be too bad, what tyres are you putting on? 225s on stretch or bigger ? 225s would probably sit perfect without the need for flaring arches or anything, anything bigger would probably need it
ah cool what colours you going for ? i kind of like the style of having rear+skirts+front bumper i different colour. think jon on here one of the admins track cars is like that

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
8j rims im putting 185/45/r15s on them with around 2-3 degree camber and arch's rolled should hopefully be good enough, im going for anthracite, as the wheels im going for will have anthracite centres not getting the bronze Grid V's in the previous pages as someone already has them on a clio now

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
are 8j 15s different width to 8j 17s? 185s would be fine without needing to mess around at all i would of thought ?
camber looks awsome but i would be cautious unless you have alot of spare cash lol. i ran with like -3.5 degrees or something stupid and in about 3/4 weeks id eaten a set of tyres

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
the standard camber is around 1.6 degress or something like that iirc so only gonna add another degree or so, not too sure about alloys sizes tbh, i was on stretchtyres.com looking at the images of tyre sizes on 8j rims and they seemed to be a nice stretch with the 185's and the alloys are et0 so thats also why i will need to rol my arches

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
ah, then yes you will haha will look good though
just check the tyres once a week and if there obviously wearing fast on the inside then get rid of some camber. i got new alloys and tyres, then coilovers, fitted them with loads of camber and less than a month later had to fork out for new tyres. was not impressed haha

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows
Nope the months up until december are dragging in!, Going For Gunmetal Centres with a Polished dish getting the roof spoiler wing mirrors rear bumper insert done anthracite so hopefully it will be a good enough match getting the anthracite done as a deal, my company does his company a favour so his company is doing me a favour in return

Re: Clio 1.2 With Lows

Re: Clio, Lows, and Alloys ordered
Will need to polish 2 of the dish's up on them, 2 have been done already and also will need 2 new tyres, due to camber by the previous owner wearing them down.

Re: Clio, Lows, and Alloys ordered
My own fault, was heading home, took a corner and the back end slid out into a 2ft high kerb, caused the damage to the bumper, no airbags etc went off so aint too bad i guess, just a new bumper i need.

Re: Clio, Lows, and Alloys ordered
Ideally i want a new bumper and have it smoothed, so gonna price it up and think it over, may just use cable ties at the moment to get me through winter.
