Official West Mids Red Lion Meet - Sun 4th March

[Addicted]

Wish i'd of gone had stuff come up that I couldn't avoid! Will definitely be at the next one! Sorry again Tom

 

[MartinR]

And you find them best for brake disc temperatures, you mentioned that iirc?

I really liked it. Definitely going to copy you lmao

yup the standard 182 wheels don't allow much cooling of the brakes due to the bulky design. And have found on spirited drives the brakes start to fade pretty quick,but on the OZ wheels the braking is 100 times better.

 

[MartinR]

Great pics rockers! Panoramic is awesome!

Cheers Tom

 

[PP200t]

We found that doing the Col du Turini. Whenever we stopped a mate in his 182 had smoke pouring off his brakes, the Turinis on the Trophy allowed for much better cooling.

Nice to see my old car there..

.. shame I didn't have a car to attend with..

Which is your old car?

 

[Keith Lemon]

LY04 - The BG 182 - At least the new owners enjoying it, I never actually made it to any meets.

 

[iChris]

Looks like i missed another good met, bugger. I should pay more attention to the local sections in here.

PM Don if you're not already on the West Mids mailing list.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

We was short of blue cars wasn't we really.....
:-D

 

[Habitual]

Yeah, not enough man. There's just no support from the blue clio owners these days...

 

[Renault Wolverhampton]

blue and black were well represented!!!

 

[Habitual]

And silver. >.<

 

[Thrust-Rated]

We needed some inferno, and a LY.
Shames really.
Blue black and silver, quality colours anyway

I know yes, I'm still to see one in the metal.

You should have come.

 

[PP200t]

I know, I wish I could've! But I realised after that I could of come for my lunch break, but I only thought at 9pm! Lol
i WILL come to the next one, so you can touch it!

 

[Cerrone]

Gutted I missed this! A night out Saturday made me miss this haha

 

[DaveDreads]

Whos is this and where are the front vents, filled in or something?
It's a great colour, is it a wrap?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Ye it's a wrap I think. Not sure who's it was.

 

[Lee]

Ye it's a wrap I think. Not sure who's it was.

It's ElkWorks satin grey wrap.

 

[DaveDreads]

I do like it, anyone know how much that cost him?
Or a rough idea of how much a ph2 Clio would be to wrap just out of curiosity?

 

[sbridgey]

he does it himself, was white a few months ago.

 

[DaveDreads]

Ah right, so has he wrapped over the front vents, or were they filled in before it was wrapped?

 

[sbridgey]

its a smoothed front bumper so washer jets, vent and numperplate recess are gone

 

[PP200t]

Looks awesome as it is too!

 

[Thrust-Rated]

He's done a decent job for himself.
Whats its original colour? Lol

:rasp:

Unless you mean he wrapped it White before.

 

[TomEdwards]

The grey front bumper looks ace to be honest

 

[MartinR]

its monaco blue underneath iirc

 

[Don]

PM Don if you're not already on the West Mids mailing list.

Correction...get yourself on the West Midlands Region section. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/group.php?groupid=10

Mass PMs come from that list

 

[ElkWorks]

yeh, its mine, its a monaco underneath

but i had it monaco with cream when i got it. yuk

wrapped it white with red highlights for a track day

then subtled it down

then took it off and wrapped the roof black

and now its grey!

but i may redo it again in a few months (if i dont sell it) matt yellow

 

[DaveDreads]

I don't know which looks better, the toned down white or the grey it has now, they both look awesome!!!

Do you wrap stuff for a living or have you taught yourself in your spare time?

 

[ElkWorks]

its a hobby, but im trained by GrafitypUK and Autostripe Sweden, (the guys who do Jon Olssons Lambos!)

 

[DaveDreads]

Ah right, so professional knowlege is needed to do a good job it would seem.

I don't suppose you have any idea how much a total wrap of a mk2 Clio would cost to Joe public?

 

[ElkWorks]

they vary, but someone who is decent, with decent film will charge £1000 upwards.

 

[DaveDreads]

You ever thought about doing it on the side?
Sounds like you could make some cheeky cash out of it.

 

[Habitual]

Red and White looked awesome! Dave is right, your cars are a testament to the quality of your work and I bet there are a few on here who'd be willing to pay for that.

 

[Habitual]

I instagrammed some of the pictures, thought I'd share them - espesh as I used a couple that didn't belong to me. If you want me to take 'em down, let me know (I do give full credit though. )
