[Turkish]

[DH_GTI]

depin on what the new clio looks like in real live a 1.6 dynamique if it the same or a zetec s 1.6 cant afford a 2lt yet.

EDIT: where did you get the 172 grill and how much for? my standard one has a crack in it

 

[Turkish]

Fair enough. tbh id be tempted to maybe lower it put some 16s on and keep it until i could afford/insure something with a bigger engine.

 

[DH_GTI]

can u do it on springs dont want dampers to much hard work and cost

 

[Turkish]

yeah you can do 60 or 40 mm on springs but tbh its no less work fitting springs compared to a full kit.

 

[Christopher]

go for the APEX kit that Rob has, he has 60mm springs on his iirc.

easy, just need a few tools a jack some axle stands and a couple of hours if its your 1st time.

 

[makavelli]

i followed the lowering guide on here cos they used a dynamique as the example!

i know f#*k all about cars and managed to fit -40mm springs and it only took bout 3 hours!

if ur keepin it for a year then i wud lower it!

half a days work to make ur motor look so much sweeter is defo worth it!!

 

[Turkish]

If you decide to go ahead and get springs Dave let me know and ill give you a hand.

 

[DH_GTI]

cheers loony will do where about do u live ??

 

[Leeshez]

Looking nice but you did a bad job of trying to hide it in the top picture LOL

 

[zetecs]

i got spring clamps dave.

 

[DH_GTI]

lol leeshez i was begin "artistic"

 

[DH_GTI]

if i just change the spings will it f**k the dampers

 

[Turkish]

I live in swindon mate. If you just change the springs it wont ride as well as a full kit will and it will wear the dampers quicker but not before youve got rid of the car so i wouldnt worry.

 

[becki]

Looks really nice hunny!

 

[Chili Red]

Looks good - I really think the 172 grille makes a big difference, it looks so much better

 

[d4ve86]

changing springs is no harder than a full kit, infact a full kit is probably easier. id never done suspension before and i did the front springs rear springs and rear dampers. Fronts were a b1tch to get back on. when i got my front dampers i got someone to do it for me couldnt be arsed!
