Finished, but still doesn't feel finished!

[VIICarCare]

Fitted the 40mm springs yesterday, and my nice new wheels. Think It needs to go down another 20mm though! Just a few pics.

Any suggestions of bits to do to her? I want it to sit like Bifcaids! :evil:

 

[GeorgeH]

Looks mint mate, I think the only thing it needs is more lows, other then that it's lovely! Good job well done!

 

[clio_luke]

wow! this is looking great, not seen the progress thread for a little while but its really come on well! im all out of suggestions to be honest apart from trying to lower it another 20mm or so like you said. great work!

 

[Alastair.]

really really like this, probly my favorite non sport on here, just looks so smart

front fogs would finish it

 

[VIICarCare]

aww, thanks very much al! And cheers very much guys.

Yeh, i think i may need to lower a wee bit more! I dont like arches sitting on the tyres, just a nice gap & not one i can fit a lunchbox in

 

[R-Sport.]

Wheels -- look pony

I would have gone for a mint set of 172 wheels- keeping the OEM look-

[Hodgins]

liking the my clio makes me sticker lol

 

[Jordi17]

as said fogs on the front would finish off

 

[david hodson]

Just admit you want it as low as the V

 

[harribo66]

looking in alot better nick to when you got it mate, spot on!

 

[.GAZ.]

Thought you where turning it into a full replica?

 

[VIICarCare]

not sure which way to take it atm! Got my eye on an rs kit, just need to get the service/cambelt done on the vee then I'll know what monies I have!

 

[R-Sport.]

You taking the vee to SG?

This is brilliant a real mini restoration project.

so,so clean looks brand new and im a big fan of the wheels really suit the car.

 

[VIICarCare]

^ cheers mate

Steve, yep she's going Monday.

 

[Will.]

Those wheels look ace!!!! You were one lucky fucker snapping those up. Let me know if you ever sell them

 

[Rob]

They're quite clearly mine Willaim, back away. Slowly.

I think it looks great Dawn, the only thing I'd splash the cash on is coilies.

 

[koi]

Those wheels look pretty good on it, good work

Share?

 

[guysy]

I think the wheels make it look a bit tame, Not sure what kind of look your going for though.

Could do with being dropped on its arse to pull off the alloys more, Or just a nice drop on some other alloys.

Done a nice job on the colour coding, The front inserts don't seem to have much shine to them though?

 

[oliver.james]

I think it looks very smart

As you mentioned, maybe a little lower; think that would make a pretty big difference

 

[JoeyD]

Looks lovely!

I'll sell you my fogs if you want a pair

 

[fUbAr]

looks great!

Is that a chip I see on the v6 window?

 

[JCC]

40mm isn't even noticeable on a 1.2 IMO, needs 60mm+

 

[VIICarCare]

Yeh, thank Halfords paint for the great colour match Didn't have as much time to spend on the front bumper inserts.

Fubar, where?

JoeyD, pm me a price please bud


Thanks all

I might have some 60mm Springs for sale soon, but im unsure if springs from a Ph1 1.2 will fit a Ph2...

 

[VIICarCare]

aww, im intrested if so!

 

[Knuckles]

have you just dropped it on springs? or have you got uprated dampers too? i wanna drop mine but i'm not sure whether to invest in both springs and dampers.... but anyway, the car looks sexy as f**k... its sooooo shiney ha

 

[VIICarCare]

just springs yeh, im new to this whole thing! Does it make a difference with different dampeners?

 

[Scott™]

I like it, it looks nice. But i prefer the VEE You can tell you detail too

 

[VIICarCare]

lol, i prefere the vee too

 

[chriscummins7]

Not too keen on the wheels now they are on if I am honest. As said lower is the way to go, I would scrap 60mm springs and get a set of coilovers! Cheap enough

 

[littleC18]

my springs might be up for sale soon. well, they will be WHEN i get the coilovers! they're 60mm ish.

not too low! but....they're bouncy. very bouncy!

 

[VIICarCare]

anymore pics littlec? I dont really want to spend anymore on her tbh! Whats the cheapest set of coilovers then?

cheers for the comments

 

[Curtis!]

~£180 for a set of rokkor things?

 

[Leeshez]

Wow what a line up .

 

[VIICarCare]

cheers matie

I may keep an eye out for some cheaps springs or coilovers.

 

[Tunst]

If springs from a Ph1 non sport will fit iv just removed them from my old car, £85 posted and there urs

Been on car since feb and done 5000Miles.

 

[Ash87]

looks real smart for a daily drive

 

[littleC18]

The coilovers are £175 but then you get a 10% discount if you mail them and say your from clio sport which is what i did!
