The Lowwwwwww Ph2 - Progress Thread

Any soft microfibre is fine. Save the finishing cloths for FCS to use between showers. I've brought sh*t loads of Quik Detailer to go around.

Are they the red ones?

 

[f0xy]

red box....white cloths

 

[Christopher]

That's the ones... yeah, save them, they're good

Don't get them wet really, once you wash them or need to dry them they lose all the softness. A bargain-bin microfibre will be fine fella... get a few thin coats of EGP on there before i come round... should be dead easy to do whilst you're fixing the wheels.

 

[f0xy]

+ the 100 other jobs like putting seats back in, lol

 

[BioHzrd]

How the wheel turn out now then or you not re done it yet ??

[f0xy]

well may aswell update this..............managed to f*ck the wheel on the way to FCS if anyone hasnt already seen....

and how it was supposed to be all round :dapprove:

and because they are superleggeras, they arent available to buy anymore as they have stopped making them.........very rare that a set in clio fitment and 16" come up on ebay.....so looks like new set of wheels time as im not hanging round waiting...........

soon to be on 15's

 

[Ian]

TBH I'm feeling a three-wheeler Delboy-esque conversion!

It's bad news mate, but if you do go for a set like Hayley's it will look just as mint. Keep an eye out for a fourth as well, you never know.

 

[BioHzrd]

Thought it was only a wee chunck when you showed me that bit you had in your car!

15" you going for ??

 

[Timmay]

love your car foxy!

 

[kie1an]

got any ideas what wheels your looking for ?

 

[v4NDALu]

Here in Portugal that wheel can be refurbed for something like 50€ :S

same in uk but i had half the size chunk missing and told it would cost less to buy a new wheel than to repir it!

 

[Christopher]

Chris: Get a set of Turinis?

Jord: Die. I'll never have the typical CS car wheel, ever.

LOL

as above

D4ve. All set are sold though

 

[f0xy]

yeah d4ve........there is someone in ireland (rossei - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=336298 ) selling a set also.......they could be posted, BUT, i havent got £600 to spend on a set and posting them........seeing as my wheels are practically worthless as i cant sell them as a set!

there was someone on here selling some from an Ex cup race car, 40 quid a rim, they were a bit battered but refurb-able, which is what im looking for really, around that sort of price....but they are all gone......ben_p had some going aswell, but sold them also!

 

[cafcross]

why not get them new?

 

[f0xy]

why not get them new?

because i havent got 500/600/700 quid to spend on a set of wheels/tyres.....as mine are worthless

id rather get a set of battered ones for under 200, get them refurbed and get tyres on them, i could do that for 350 all in...

 

[cafcross]

suppose so.

steely for the next month or so then?

 

[Ian]

Get a set of 172 alloys, refurb them and wait for a decent set to come along. Sell the 172's for more than you paid for them and put it towards the set you want?

 

[f0xy]

suppose so.

dont know.......only got 1 and it pulls like a b**ch when driving, as the other wheels are 16, steely is 15...........they work out to be the same size diameter because of the different size tyres, but its still dodgy as f**k..

im hoping to find a set of wheels and get them on etc in the next fortnight at least.

probably wouldnt make anything back on them, tiny bit maybe........plus they weigh a ton as bloor knows, lol

 

[Ian]

Aye fair enough, was just thinking they'd get you by til something shows up, no point paying top dollar for a set now unless you especially need to.

Saying that, I know it's infuriating though, I'm waiting for stuff to arrive and it's driving me nuts not to be able to get on with it.

 

[Kneel]

Jord I'll ask my cousin probably on Monday as he's on maternity leave at the moment (d'oh) so if you get a set sorted before then let me know. Also I hope it goes lower on the 15s

 

[f0xy]

lower, LOL...maybe half an inch...50 profile tyres

and LOL at your avatar, die.

 

[Spark]

mate i think there are a few set of compomotive th's on ebay the now, would look mint
