Good choice mate! Standard? R27? Colour?

 

[Thundercat83]

Looks tidy mate. I'd remove the TC&C sticker on the back! Would like nice with black wheels! Also, if you maximise the photo of the front of the car, you can see your missus in the back! That gets you extra ClioSport points!

Hi and welcome.

Mine was the same when I bought it in that it only had the RenaultSport splitter and no other aero options.

What are your plans for it?

Nothing really i might change the allow colour not sure yet tho

Leave the wheels silver and spend the money on spacers instead. Will look the tits!

Didn't realise it was lowered, definitely get some 20/25mm spacers. It'll look brilliant.

And maybe some xenon headlights.

They can be mapped out but apparently fitting a decat will make it difficult to map out.

They do go very well

If it was standard, I wouldn't suggest much, but as its been lowered, have a look at this 200 on springs and spacers

I dont know alot about cars tbh honest so wont be doing a great deal till i do but spacers are what push the wheels out further ? Ive seen this before wouldnt they catch on the wheel arches when turning ( as its lowered) ?

They are yeah The one I posted didn't have any problems with scraping.

I'm guessing you don't know whether yours is lowered on springs or coilovers then? It looks quite low
