My Ph1 172 on 17" OZ f1's... new pics :)

[Sam_Clio16v]

Gave her a good clean yesterday and took a few pics on my phone at a local spot, what ya think?

Theyre 17" OZ F1 Cups powdercoated in graphite grey, thought i'd go for something a little different.

BTW Eibach sportlines just arrived need fitting as its a little high atm.

Cheers
Sam

Any plans to lower it mate??

 

[Sam_Clio16v]

yeah thats what i just said, springs arrived yesterday, getting them fitted next weekend when ive got a few good hours spare. Really needs it as it handles like dogshit on the standard springs.

Thems nice wheels them is!!

 

[kully]

looks quite nice on them rims

 

[GarethM]

not bad fella

id put ph2 lights on also, they look miles better.

will look better when lowered

 

[Iridium]

Don't put Ph2 lights on - the Ph1s are much more subtle. Ph2 are faux-lexus

Looks sweet though dude!

[Ali]

Not bad. I like the F1 cups.

 

[Coby.]

I'd have gone with 16"s but they still look pretty good and will be miles better when lower and with some decent pics

Nice car

Wheels are way to big for it though.
Looks like a pair of roller boots I owned back in 1989

What do you mean 'decent' pics you cheeky t**t! lol

Just outa interest why 16's? There's naff all difference between a 17 on a 40 profile tyre and a stanard 16", but it looks so much better. It annoys me how everyone is like everyone else........... oh i have a ph-quick i must put 16" OZ f1's/turini's on and ph2 rear lights with a cup spoiler. It's becoming BORING! Why cant people be original with their mods??! why do you have to fit a certain criteria on this site? mmmmm

Sorry mate but you did ask what people thought...

As long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters!

because this is cliosport and thats the way it works

No theyre not. people put 17" turini's on ph2 cups all the time, why should it be different for a ph1?

[Marky_]

17's just look a bit too big imo. Tidy though.

Edit: i don't think f1's suit 17+ personally.

I tell them the same thing.

Really needs it as it handles like dogs**t on the standard springs.

Sam

Really? :S

I would get the car checked over in that case, because the Ph1 172 handles fantastically on standard suspension. Yours must be broken if it handles as bad as you make out.

Yeah, although it was fine before i changed them. Feels like the springs are too soft to cope with the car body being that much higher, higher center of gravity and all that.

Sportlines will sort it when i get them fitted, its just finding time and daylight in between uni work, djing, girlfirend and setting up my own night!!!! havnt even been food shopping in 3 weeks lol

 

[Tigger]

That looks mean! :evil:

 

[Middo]

love it! the cliosport convention is 16 inch f1s or 16 inch turinis, anything else just aint cool apparently! personally think it looks mint

 

[Jon.L]

i got ph 2 rear lights on myn makes such a diff so much nicer. ive alos got 16" f1s suit better imo. but yours looks nice lil high though get lowering!

 

[Slammed172]

will be spot on once slammed and the fog light switch is turned off.

 

[Merk]

Don't worry, i'm with you mate, i've got 17's on my ph1 and i think it looks a lot better, if a little high. but thats getting sorted.
