Haha he likes to go through the motors eh?
Well, thats up to him, hope he has better luck than I do!! 2 months and not a bite!
Chloe will be staying with me for the time being though, aint no quick turnarounds here...

 

[Al1exx]

I'm gonna be hitting ebay for goodies ASAP!!

 

[aeaton_2]

indeed, i always buy things that i dont need and find out i cant afford the parts i needed in the first place. dont get tempted into stupid things like me

I'm from Edinburgh so not too far away. Theres quite a few on here from around the sort of central belt area. I think Clio_Mk1 is from falkirk and also Martin_89 (I think thats his username) IIRC

No, why do you ask?

I'm actually hoping to do it asap as it's like a bloody 4x4 at the moment. I've got some -55mm springs but just haven't got round to fitting them.

bit worried about droppin mine, ive got the mk1 clio with the smallest arches ever, i saw you had a 1.4. mine looks like its on stilts too, looks stupid so i decided to put my 14" standard alloys on so it wasnt so high lol

 

[donsrno1]

You can lower it by 55mm on 15" wheels with no scrubbing as long as you use 195/45/15 tyres - or so I'm told. You would have to remove the arch liners but IMO not much price to pay. I just think that 35mm doesn't look low enough TBH.

Well remembered donsrno1, I am from Falkirk!

Al1exx, where abouts in Falkirk do you stay?

 

[Al1exx]

I stay in Denny mate, near Falkirk as you know, what about you?
