My First project a Clio MK3 TCE 1.2 SX (girl owner)



  Clio Mk3 tce
Great updates and I absolutely love that engine cover (the stickers suit it well)....... to be fair, all the hydro-dipped parts look great. This is coming along rather nicely :cool:

Thank you :) I was really pleased with the hydrodippped things. They came out really well.
More things to come soon...

Widened the rear. Went from 20mm to 30mm spacers.

^painted edges of spacers so they don't spand out so much

Also have a pair of 25mm to replace my 20s on the front.
So I will be selling my 20mm spacers (set of 4) if anyone is interested.
Things to do :
Front and rear brakes.
Sort the exhaust to suit my bumper.
Buff the paintwork.
Few dents to be removed.
Hydrodip some interior parts and door mouldings.

Ohh here's one of my rolling road print outs, there was a second session that had just under 135bhp but couldn't find it.
This one's 130.4bhp
Remapped at ptorque, should get a bit more power in the colder weather. :D

That actually looks pretty good!

Just a heads up though, be careful with those spacers. Ideally the threaded holes to bolt your wheels to should have steel inserts in. At the moment there's nothing stopping the aluminium threads from stripping if they're over tightened enough times

Thank you :)
And yes I am aware. Made sure that when I fitted the spacers they were not over tightened.

Also as standard the wheel bolts are only screwing into about 8mm of steel.
The bolts have 26mm of thread locking into the spacer, so they are not that likely to strip.
I think bolt on spacers are not the best idea for the front because being of the loaded wheels when cornering. And probably to a great idea on a powered wheel (front wheels in this case)

Those strips really brighten up the interior without being over the top. Do you have any links to where you bought them from? I'd like to get a couple too :)
