Lowerd 60mm + refurbed alloys! Look!

[Alastair.]

I have been a very busy boy this week indeed!
Was looking at my car and thought it need a change, so i set out finding some 60mm springs insted of the 30mm springs i had on. I managed 2 source them off clio_1990 for £40 posted, theyre pritty much new and r apex springs 2! bargin!
Next i thought i should change my wheels so i sourced some early dynamique alloys on here from chrislloyd for £70 which was also a bargin! met him in bristol. From saturday when i picked them up i removed the tyres and started rubbing them down and they came out like this, pritty good for a first attempt!

On wednesday when my springs arrived a was all excited so i fit them on the same day after work, only took 40mins, ride is now superb!


how it look 30mm standard wheels

old front springs

new front spring fitted on shocker

fitted the tyres from my old wheels this morning and waked em on me clio

Looks wicked chap.

 

[Birdie]

big fan of that great colour choice on alloys

 

[Ryan218]

looks loads better on the -60 springs and the black wheels go with the tints realy well, you done a good job of the wheels

 

[drummie]

I like it pal, great improvment.

Not too keen on the tints.

 

[Hazza]

Nice refurb, but never liked those dynamiques done in black for some reason... not too keen. U'll need some tyre shine to pull off maybe.

But great job.

 

[Alastair.]

tyre shine is on but only some suto smart crap from work, will put megs on when it stops frickin rainin

 

[BioHzrd]

Black on Black is where its at !

 

[VeinAST]

fookin smart

 

[Hazza]

What brake disks are u running?

 

[Jamesstone]

looking good mate , If i had got a black 172/182 i would have done the wheels black

 

[Alastair.]

What brake disks are u running?

evosport performance 40s, got em off ebay a while back think i paid about £60

 

[Hazza]

Notice any difference?

Coz i might get some after market ones when my ones need changing.

 

[Alastair.]

i did bought em for the looks really, they seem a bit sharper but they wine brakeing from high speeds like any grooved or drilled disc

 

[Jamesstone]

but they wine brakeing from high speeds like any grooved or drilled disc

My brembo grooved discs never do that.. & all my previous motorbikes ran aftermarket grooved discs & never had that.. strange :S

[Alastair.]

[Paul.M]

Love it mate
i wanted to do the same thing with my alloys

 

[Beef-Mc]

Much better.

 

[clioandy105]

looks realy nice and smooth, one thing i would personally change would be the bullets, as the silver just stands out way to much, put them back to black and then put the 16v bits in silver. But thats personal oppinion. other than that car looks veyr nice!

 

[Alastair.]

yer mayb, but i like em + i paid middo 2 do em

 

[Vish]

Looks really good mate.

 

[N!CK R]

Tints do look a bit odd on a black car.
How much of a tint is that at the back anyways?

 

[HartZ]

Looking good fella!

tint on the rear is one lighter than limo, fronts are menna be just legal, i like em anyways, when i drive a car now with no tints i feel insecure lol like every1 can look in and see me, i dont like 2 be seen.
