Little Blue 182

[Mexx]

As above, the front bumper sticker. Each to their own and all that.

I do think it’s had some front end work, you’re missing the black plastic tabs on the front bumper, which I know were there when I had it at least.

It' been crashed ...front left .. the paint work isn't great and the wing doesn't sit quite flush ..hes work in progres.. thoughts on spacers ??

[imprezaworks]

It's had light front left damage just bumper and wing we think.. nothing else seems damaged and he drives fine ..i work in a garage and the techs have gone over it and under it and they said it' just superficial...i will get it painted properly i hink it' been to a back street garage .

Check the crash bar behind the bumper. The cars are at the age they're cheap and can be owned by people who don't care!
What are your plans for it?

For the cost of the panels I’d look out for one being broken and just bolt them on.
You’d get a wing for about £30 used in RB

It's all been checked ..car is in good condition...not many plans at mo just spacers and I have an ABS wire to replace ..its had new discs and pads and the exhaust needs straightened...its wonky and annoying !!

 

[car.crash]

What exhaust is it?
The old scorpions sit terrible.

I'm not sure...just looks like a gorilla has tried to fit it and it's started to melt one of the black plastic trims ...will be fixed soon though

 

[car.crash]

Check the exhaust mounts too, they are prone to fail but that would make it sit low on one or both sides.

Best shot I have of the pipes ..

Left rubber looks like it’s failed to me. Easy to spot once you look under the bumper.
Get some polybush replacements as the rubber ones don’t last with the heavy stainless exhausts.
Easy fix

So it looks like .. 15 on the rear.. 10 on the front ...and that won't rub..
Thanks for the link

Helps to know what you're intending on running wheel wise before suggesting spacers. On standard alloys I'd go 10mm rear hub spacers and 15mm fronts IMHO.

Standard wheels standard car ... no toys yet...thanks for your reply

i fitted 20mm all round 6 months back, and the rears rubbed as its lowered
20mm on front seemed fine
Got some 16mm hubcentric for the rears now trying them- was told 15mm sit fine on rear (heres hoping 1mm wont matter) and have 15mm spacers for rear but not hubcentric
Will let you know how i get on this Saturday
standard clio dynamique wheels- think the Oz F1s same

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

10 rear and 16 front looks just right imo

[Coops Mk1]

10mm rear 15mm front on stock wheels imo, that's what I run and sits lovely on the H&R springs

Thankyou ...cheers for that info

My road wheels are Clio standards, the thick 5 spoke wheels called "Dynamique's" i think. Pretty sure they are 6.5j rim width, and have just put 20mm spacers on the front, and 16mm spacers on the back, and no rubbing at all on my lowered phase1.

20mm spacers rubbed last year on back

Changed the barke pads on the front too- what a difference.
