My clios 1st mod

[Laura]

well its begun, 1st mod on the 172

Before

After

 

[Graham Gooch]

Wheels make it look high, next mod is coilovers lol.

 

[Rob's172]

thats on my "to do" list, looks good

 

[Gareth]

I can't believe the std ride height, especially the rear!!

 

[Chrisjk]

What colour are they Taylor? An iceberg 172 rep is going to be my next motor, keep me posted on what you do

 

[Laura]

the angle of the camera makes it look high lol

no coilovers on this one, utter waste of money imo unless your going for the top spec ones which id personally get my money out of as i drive on normal roads not tracks

plus i like not scraping my bumper on anything and not roling road kill infront of my car lol

 

[Ali]

Erm...dunno! Think the whole grey/black wheels has been done to death!

Preferred it before!

 

[RacerStu]

Looked better before IMO.

 

[TrannyB]

look good when yoe slam it

 

[fUbAr]

looked better before.

would look better done in a matt or satin finish...

 

[DH_GTI]

i like it, needs lowering tho

 

[Waitey]

Erm...dunno! Think the whole grey/black wheels has been done to death!

Preferred it before!

Agreed

 

[Ads_172]

I think the colour would be great on a stealth project, but seem to stand out a bit. Might be because they're fresh and spotless so maybe shine a bit more than they will in time...

 

[GarethM]

nice needs lowering

 

[cat171]

i agree when i first got into clios id love it and no other scheme would come close but now it bores me. dont get me wrong it looks good but kinda feels out dated now.

 

[Ben.]

yup, gotta say i liked it better before

 

[Djw John]

If you have dark wheels it always looks better lowered imo. Not that it looks bad, could just look better!

 

[Phoenix]

i flipping love it...lowering next

 

[ChrisPearson]

I like it.just lower it and carbon splitter

 

[Christopher]

far better before imo!

 

[Hazza]

I like it, just needs lowering, and yeah, a splitter will be needed also

 

[Laura]

didnt like it at all before looks totally like a 1.2, boring and bland

i love it now, tbh not really many cars with dark wheels round here, my ph1 really stood out.

its not getting lowered i like it as it is
after all its my car

tbh clio sports are common as much now and are the new saxo so being different doesnt really work.

im well chuffed with it the colour looks ace, its not as dark as it looks in the pics

 

[TheJesus]

looks ten times better than before. colour makes what were bland wheels look less so. I'd just get the splitter and then leave as it is. No point lowering as said, it's comfy and drives nice as it is, ignore these chavs

 

[Laura]

ive forgotten what its like to drive and not crash down the road, and go over the slightest of bumps in the motorway and lose traction.

standard is the new modified.. plus imo it handles just as well as ph1 did on coilovers

 

[Timmay]

very nice taylor

 

[leighk18]

to be honest lowring is over rated it is more for looks than anythink atm my mate has got a ford ka why his 106 gti is off the road and the ka handles well for what it is he can only go 10mph faster round conors in the gti and that on 15's wider tyiers and on its ass

 

[Ben.]

standard is the new modified..

:approve:

 

[Greeny.]

nice

What colour did you use Taylor? Mine look slightly more grey than yours.

 

[Laura]

its peugeot graphite grey, actually came out a little darker than i had hoped,

going to do jons at somepoint and im hoping to do them in a lighter grey, or mayve beven bronze

 

[Greeny.]

Ford Magnem Grey

No idea what colour mine had been powercoated but the centre caps where foooked, so sprayed them magnem grey and is a good match.

 

[TheJesus]

I've decided on matt black for mine :approve:

 

[Laura]

i cant do them then, will need power coating

 

[leeds_182]

Nice.

 

[Gareth]

far better before imo!

agree.

 

[TheJesus]

i cant do them then, will need power coating

you can get matt paint...

 

[Hazza]

I like Dark wheels on a silver car!

 

[Laura]

ph2s look like 1.2s they need something to set them apart.

im happy with it 110% thats all that matteres really.

 

[Hazza]

Yup so you should be.

Well there is a big difference between a 1.2 and a RS..... ENGINE SIZE. lol

 

[Laura]

on the road looks wise tho they look the same to the untrained eye.

people say dark wheels on silver cars have been done to death, i cant see that many tbh
