Kyles Clio 172 Cup Project

  A special one.
Love the wheel, yellow calipers make it look s**t imo.
They need to go sliver which will make it look nice and fresh.

Wheel center caps need changing to, I just don't dig the yellow.

Nice car apart from that. :)

Scott I was just debating this. Im gonna change the 2.0 bullets to carbon with blue 2.0 16v & change caliper colour along with the wheel diamonds back to standard colour. I just needed someone to say it lol

Ill pick some silver caliper paint up over the weekend. What do u recommend matey

Cheers bud :)
Defo gotta sort out a shoot with both of the cups. Love the wheel shame its so bloody big lol

Yeah, i think thats why i don't like it. I much prefer the feel of my other halfs 197 wheel.

Eventually we will sort it, im half tempted to make the pilgrimage down to FCS tbh.

I might steal Linz's 197 wheel and swap it for my worn Sparco wheel.

I'm going to go for a Sabelt wheel eventually - there very pretty.

Wheel is proper nice! Nice car all round tbh.

Cheers dan. Just a few finishing touches now for her. Just ordered them carbon bullets like the pic above. Gonna ditch the yellow theme. Really like your Ph1 certainly not a shed like you said :)
 
What bits are yellow? Calipers would look much better black IMO, cant say i noticed much else yellow ha.

Cheers dude, my car is still & probably will be a shed in my eyes. It did make me laugh how you guys thought it wasnt worthy of the poor status I give it :eek:

sounds good to me pal. would you think black would look better then silver?


No sliver.

Don't listen to anyone else. :rasp:

I used Hammerite smooth in a spray can but mine where off and in bits as i replaced the seals and pistons.

Do people paint calipers whilst on the car? If so, how do you not get paint on the pads??

I did mine with hammerite, but it just blistered when any excessive heat gets into the caliper.

As said Saturday, love the wheel.

Also Scott is right, silver is the only way. Keeps it looking fresh and clean :)

Cheers big dog. Yeah im gonna order some silver caliper paint. Just trying to get hold of some oem wheel centre cap diamonds aswell. Renault want £60

Mate you have a lovely Cup, just keep it looking fresh.

Carbon paint s**t will make it go down in value.
Buy the seats, clean off the yellow calipers.

Give the engine bay a mint up if you've got money to spend.

Completely agree with everything Phase1sr has said.

Great looking car and will look even better with a few bits freshened up.

Keep up the good work :)

Renault want £60 for something that will improve the look of your car.

But you wasn't bothered about spending ££££££ of fake carbon paint???

Look on ebay dude, might find some cheaper.

I used Hammerite smooth sliver.
We used to paint the Aston calipers in the same paint with no problems.

the yellow on there is hammerite aswell. No issues with the paint fading what so ever. Ill nip down to Halfrauds on my day off saturday & pick some up. Cheers bud :)

Nah they won't. Just give em a light sanding and re-primer them. Worth a try as it will save you £60!
