Comments welcome as always!
 
I'm jealous of the lowness :( looks good man I can't wait to drop mine - just trying to decide what I want :/ don't really want coilovers would much prefer a set of springs. Un decided what ones though.

Don't be jealous, i pulled up to see where the water was pouring out from, my wheels had rubbed my arches and split the screenwash pipe behind it :(
If you can see the soapy puddle next to passenger side wheel? :p

Ouch. Unlucky! What coilovers you got on that? I can't decide on what springs I want -_- really winding me up lol. I like the look of the apex ones, which absolutely ruin the handling so that isn't an option. The eibachs aren't low enough for my liking and cook sports I can't find enough pictures to make my mind up! Wish mine came with coilovers already fitted :p

So i've been wanting new wheels and a mate of mine was selling his lensos so i went yesterday to give them a go

unfortunately i couldnt keep them on as i need spacers for the rear, i had also been thinking of an induction kit or air filter, and he had this cone filter in his garage and let me try it on, i love the noise but have noticed a decrease in power possibly due to heat soak? so i plan to remove this and replace with standard box and panel filter.

Been a while since i last posted anything about this car. Had some problems to fix for MOT such as washer pumps, exhaust, discs and pads all round etc, so not much of an exciting update, however the car is so much better to drive!
so heres a few pics from the past couple of months, nothing exciting. Hoping to get some decent pictures tonight with my brothers clio, so another update should come very soon for those interested.

First off, i relocated my air filter behind my headlight to reduce heatsoak.

Then a few cosmetic changes inside, Wrapped my dash strips in "leather" ;)

Tried my brothers new wheels on, but really not a fan of them!

Had to get a new exhaust for MOT, so bought a stainless one off here, far bigger than i thought, but looks OK for now, sounds nuts anyway!

And this is how she stands at the moment...

Thanks for looking, updates soon!
 
That looks good mate! Good thinking with the air filter :) and the dash strips are different! Look decent!

I think the exhaust would look better If it was cut into the bumper personally. But if its only temporary obviously don't lol. You need a cup spoiler! Transformed the rear of mine! ;)

Thanks ollie! Fancy a cup spoiler but aren't they really expensive? Will look at getting the bumper sorted if I do decide to keep the exhaust :)
