its lowered on apex springs.. shite i know lol
il wait a few days then to see.. yup il be getin a sports grille very soon, keepin the mesh though.. original made the front look too 'liney' if you know what i mean, yeah il get a side pic soon 2moro because its dark now..
thought about spacers but people say that it ruins the handling.. is this true?

need to let them settle
What I normally do when I have lowered ppl's car's in the past is go over a few spped bumps which settles them straight away.
I remember selling a set of G-Max -40mm springs to a guy off here, who also came to my house to have them fitted and it turned out to by lower than that.
I wouldn't say they are -60mm spring though mate

cheers guys the cars got 17s.. i know it looks no way near 60.. fustrating really i wanted it low but il wait for it to settle more.. it had them 17s when i bought them, mods ive done are angel eyes, mesh grille, lowering, rear lights, sunstrip and re painted my side stripes black instead of leaving it silver.., also bought and fitted a new standard bumper as the one before had a stupid cut out for the exhaust.. oh and meggy splitter
how? 17's look better than 16's! On a 1.2 does it really matter lol!
60mm springs are dire!!! Had mine on for 1k miles i think then binned them!
Clio MK 4
1.2's sit higher than sports normally to start with so probs not as low as if you got 60mm on a sports. that looks only slightly lower than my 172 which has 17" wheels and mine not been lowered yet.

it would look much better on 16's
I think the 17s just look too big in the arches, doesn't help that these alloys are particularly cheap / poor looking
matter of Opinion i suppose! I think 17's look spot on! Wish i'd got 17in Turini's on the 172!
MX5 1.8
yeah that will be great mate, post the pics of the springs and maybe il give u a PM.
i stil facny the look of 17s, makes the car look better, fills the arche pefectly, i dont like the alloys i have on but it makes them look really big!
il wait for a few weeks to let them settle in the meantime
ive got an update btw, i have a spare clio badge from the scrappy, sprayed it in black, what do you think?

I had mine lowered 35 at front and 30 at back and the wheels fitted nice in the arch with no gap between top of tyre and arch.
