Clio MK3 Facelift Project

[Harry_Clark]

i had the full set of xenons on ebay for something like £8. halfords is way over priced!

That's what I'd got previously for the last car, and still had the H1 bulbs so I put them in the projectors in this car! Really want HIDs but I'm scared after reading all the legality nonsense on them aha! Agreed though, waaaaay overpriced. The LEDs were about 6 quid, but they were looking for like £20 per bulb for xenon H7 bulbs, so £40 a set... Silly Halfords.

I actually seen your thread a while back, the ultraleggeras are very nice
Do you think the eibach springs lowered it enough? Or should I go for 45mm springs?
I'm gonna keep the gt wheels and lower it first and then think about maybe changing the alloys.

If you keep the standard 16" GT wheels (they look nice, nothing wrong with them) 30 mm might not be enough. Maybe somebody else from the forum can give you advice. 30 mm and 17" wheels was enough for me.

45mm, 20mm Spacers. Sorted.

My next goal after that is brakes then. There was about 5 Clio RS'es about 30 minutes ago at my local tesco, crazy sound everywhere! Must of been a local meet I wasn't made aware of!

Apologies for the lack of updates, not really been much happening with the car other than some fitted mats and I installed some 6k HIDs, makes a huge difference though!
