Hi there, newbie with ideas!!

[Wob]

Hi there. I've had my Clio DCintroduction 3 months now. After saying that I had grown out of the modding of cars after a very short stretch I've got the bug again. Now I'm not into stupid modding as the car has to stay slightly practical and child frendly. I've sprayed all the badges and spoiler hammered gun metal grey. The next on the list is a 60mm drop (springs only) and some new wheels (I'll post a picture shortly of my idea so far.

oh and I know you guys will hate this, but I have tinted rear lights and M3 mirrors (I'm of the age where this was popular and I've never grown out of liking it) So I know it's not to everyones taste but I honestly could care!!

Any advise on the drop? And what other cars wheels are compatible with the Clio? I'm looking to stay 15" but may consider 16" if the wheels are right.

well there we go, my little intro.

What do you think about the wheels? I'd debadge them (obviously!)

I'll be totally honest. The wheels look hideous IMO.

Welcome!

Become a member mate and you'll be able to see full site including Traders sections and market place where you'll be able to pick some 172/182 alloys up for a decent price or maybe some turbines off a mk1 which are a similar style to them

I like to keep things oem ish but its your car do what you want!

Brilliant, I was starting to feel like a leper!! The idea is to stay basic but with a little originality thrown in. I'm really not keen on painted wheels (could possibly stretch to black or darker grey) I do like the look of these but there is still something that just doesn't feel right. I definitely need to sort the suspension out first, so any advice people? I have new suspension all around so would just the springs do? If so what springs and where from? I done a cat at 35mm and it just wasn't enough.

Any advice peeps?

Wheels need to be bright silver or anthracite, they are a bit naff as they are. Definitely leave BMW badges on.
