Very nice indeed fella.
Now that coilies are becoming more popular on here, It should'nt be long before the Cliosport "purists" start slagging them off, like they do with Turinis etc.

 

[Alan]

I'm torn between a new set of silver turini's or a shiney H&R coilover kit Marky boy..

 

[Fletcher]

[ColinG]

dan, woah!!! amazing...

cant wait to see this around town, or will get some proper pics of yours and mine!

 

[Dan_cup]

lol more replies than i expected!!!

ur rite side repeaters will go on one day!!!

the engine cover was done at gfs dads garage, his painter dude did it, just out of a can to, there are a couple of dust marks in it but no one is gonna get too close to it to notice, just need some stickers made up now.

yea your rite col will get a meeting sorted n get some good quality pics done.

would of been good keeping it at original height but it was scrubbing when turning at junctions or round roundabouts. its about 10mm heigher up the thread than it came. splitter sits bag on 4inch from ground. before it was about 10 haha

got to say i was suprised and happy with the ride for it being some much lower. not too bouncy. just need them set up properly now.
