Mr Plums Progress.. Clio 182 Turbo!

ArcticClio182...progress..

Superb car. Just bought an arctic ff myself. Have you considered spacing the wheels out?
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Looking good mate, just read from start to finish! It's all the little things that make a big difference!
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

I am thinking about spacers
Whats the most popular size around 15mm frt and rear
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

I've got 25mm up front and 10mm on the back and it looks much better.

handling I did notice a difference but only due to being allowed more camber now the front wheels were further away from the strut. If I didn't change the camber I probably wouldn't of noticed a difference in the handling.

Thanks mate, i really like turinis too :)

Ive emailed the alloy company tonight to change my order to the graphite wheels instead of the titanium ones, i was going to have a change from graphite/anthracite as ive had this colour on my last few cars but then i found this pic which made my mind up to ask to change them to graphite...

I doubt it should be a problem for them to change my order, i hope not anyway or ill just send them back!
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

I still think silver would be better :o

If they have already sent them, and it's going to cost you to swap them (courier/admin fee's etc) we could maybe do a deal on the silver ones ;)

Haha, i dont think they have sent them yet because they said when they do they send you a tracking number. Im going to ring them in the morning to find out. If they have sent them i might love them when they turn up hopefully lol.
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Well i rang the company this morning and they had already shipped the alloys so i will have to stick with the titanium, but after seeing a couple more pics of them in better light im pretty glad now...

Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Same, think khumo esctas were on them. Ill find a couple pics when I get home. When I say scrubbed I mean quite alot lol what offset are yours?
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Same as mine, ermm yeaa quite a bit but I don't think raising it would of made any difference, I never understood why they scrubbed tbh
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Silver FTW, will look far better than Matt graphite they look really dull.

Did you have spacers? Thats weird, what is the standard 182 wheel offset?
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Naa, I then tried 25mm spacers but was just as bad, I'm not 100% but I think their et43 so only 7mm
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

​Ive received my oz ultraleggeras today, so i went to my local tyre fitter and had my tyres swapped over, theres only a few quick pics as my car is dirty and has a lack of tyre gel etc so ill get some better ones up tomorrow after a good clean, the wheels and tyres in the pics have the grease stuff they use to fit the tyres too so ignore that...

Overall i am very happy with how they look, they sort of make the car look wider and more squat for some reason too.

Thanks for looking :)

Looks bloody brilliant though, silver is definitely the right colour!

Out of interest, how much did they charge to swap the tyres over?

Thanks mate :)

It was £10 a wheel to take it off, change it onto the new wheel, balance it and then put the new one back on.

£40 for everything including balancing which isnt too bad imo, plus they are very careful and show you any marks before they start so you are aware its not them.
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

​Heres a few more pics of the wheels after a clean today (3 mgpxl phone camera)...

Not bad for a basic modded 182, pipercross cone filter, miltek plus decat, hence the emissions light.
 
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..

Good vid mate i make it 0-100mph in around 13.5 which seems to fast
I even allowed it to show around 104mph on the speedo:eek:
