Hi I am new advice needed.

[Christophe]

Hey im new to this forum and i am thinking of getting a clio 172. This one infact. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/181698.htm

What do you guys think? Is it alright? Also is there much difference in speed between a 172 and the cup version.

Cheers

Welcome to CS mate.Im sure all the cup guys will be forming a queue,just hang on a few minutes.

lol ^

 

[Christophe]

o right lol. For a 172 does that seem ok? i have couple of plans. lower it and tints. I know lowering it will ruin setup but looks so much better.

 

[Shaw]

Those front tints are surely illegal?

 

[Hawkeye]

Its all personal choice mate.You do what you feel looks good to you.You will find that there is mixed opinions on different styling in these forums but thats what makes it a good place.Car looks good to me but what do i know,i own a FF version..lol.

Expect to hear the word "turini's" quite a lot though...

It already looks like it's been lowered and tinted.

To an extent of what colour turini's.

 

[Christophe]

Whats turinis?

I currently own a corsa and been on corsasport.co.uk for 3 years so and you do get certain styling that get ripped apart. ie jap kits and stuff. I'm more into the euro look.

I'm sure it same on here but the plans above does that seem quite subtle?

 

[Christophe]

that pic is photoshoped how i want it. the link at the top is the car as it stands. Tints are illegal but i had them on my corsa for 3 years until got caught so took em off n just had light ones put in.

 

[al]

Turinis are THE clio wheels to have... apparently.

 

[Christophe]

o right like for corsas its alessio wheels or softstars etc.

What do these turinis look like?

 

[Christophe]

are they the standard cup wheels?

Thats th eonly thing i dont like about the clios lol to common and small. Look alright if lowered

 

[Dave]

I cant believe HOW MUCH CAR you get for your money with these Clios. It staggers me.

 

[Christophe]

what do you mean?

 

[Christophe]
