Already? I really like these ones. You go through them like they're going out of fashion.

Paypal is fine.. i'd normally say the next meet but i'm scrounging for the espace V6 airbox set up Just drop me text or PM when you've got it mate

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Wow its been along time lol.

Havnt really been up to much with the car recently, hence the lack of updates.

However....few things to come in the next few weeks

Wheels back, refurbed in red (should've been back last week though :dapprove

Alcantara dash strips, smarten the interior up a bit, something new and different

Talking to fred about sorting some rear camber out aswell, not in a rush to do this tbh, need to pay for wheels first lol! In next few weeks sometime hopefully though Really improve the stance of the car i think, although the bearings are going to be shagged in a while.... coilovers + 20mm spacers + plenty of camber lol :approve:

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

WWWWWWWHHHHHHHEEEEEELLLLSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Finally got the rears back today They look amazing (well i think so anyway lol) Really really pleased with how they turned out, just what i wanted

Cant wait to fit them now, weekend job

Photos are terrible i know lol

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

O and also got some dash strips re trimmed in alcantara by another member on here, Austin 182 i think. Some more really good work, look great in aswell

Trying to show match to door cards, which is great lol

 

[Mickb]

[hsmith]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

like this car mate & the stickers, specially the engine bay!

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Duck, im trying to organise a local meeting in warwick in next few weeks. Pop over if you want You decided what to do with the cup? Please dont sell it lol.

Thanks smith, its all coming together now My deadline is FCS in june for it to be 100% but sometimes i think it'll never be completed lol. There will always be something else ill think of. For instance ive just found some Evo Recaros for sale that i want now lol.

What does everyone reckon; im considering taking the whitewalls off tommrow but still unsure :dapprove: I think theres too much going on now with the red....

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Cheery bomb?

 

[Chapppers11]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

where did you get that from mate?

 

[Tunst]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

cherrybombs are illegal iirc? as they are to loud?

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

I dont know if illegal or not, heard someone else say that aswell tho...

Just found it on ebay, thought it might go with the red wheels lol

 

[Tunst]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

i could be wrong tho.. as 90% of the mini owners around here have them on, but i was goin got get one but was told they were illegal

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Ah well, it cant be much louder than my exhaust atm.

Just another idea i may have for the future

 

[Kneel]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

I had a cherry bomb on my 1.2 and didn't have any problems.

 

[Greeny.]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Cherry bomb lol, what is this 2001?

 

[Kneel]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Cheap, easy to fit and with pretty good looking tailpipes, I had my reasons

 

[Mitchell]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Yeah, take white walls off the tyres
Can't wait to see it!

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Yeah whitewalls are coming off, just gotta work out how tho lol

Mitch, where do you park at college, i always come round to look for you buy never find you lol. Ill have a look for you later aswell

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Got the rear wheels on today, picking other two up tommorow so will fit them after college, cant wait now

Looks kinda odd with the steelies on the front, but at least they're the same colour lol

Like this pic

^^ o and i couldnt help myself, i just had to have it lol

oooooooooo, and ive just bought a K-Tec half cage aswell, picking it up on saturday

 

[adam172]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

very random car not my kinda thing but ...... i really like it lol cant help but think it would look soooo good slammed to the floor nice work

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

lol yeah it is kinda random i suppose...changing direction slightly to how it was but i know where i want to go with it now. Taking the white walls off ASAP and sorting some little bits out now.

Yer i think im going to slam it soon, swapping my spacers to 10mm ones tommorow and then ask Fred if he can have a look at my coilovers for me cos i just cant get them to move! Think they've been exposed to too much bad weather are just stuck :nono:

 

[theduck]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Gonna look mint!

 

[JCC]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Meant to comment this thread sooner, good to see the coilies being put to good use! If you're trying to adjust the front coils make sure to twist the bottom adjuster ring away from the top one first before moving the top one to lower the car.

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Yep cant wait!! All coming together slowly

Got a red tow strap off a mates tracked out C2, fitting tommorow lol

Yeah i've tryed that but it might be just where im jacking it up, i dont know, getting a wire brush and some WD on the threads soon. I dont think the winter roads have done them any good lol. Ive tryed and tryed but the ring just will not budge, on either side!?

 

[Mitchell]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Didnt know if the red on the wheels would look good, but it looks awesome! dishes looked super shiney earlier aswell

 

[Tom 46]

Re: My own style Clio...finally thread up lol

Cheers bud, was gonna look for you in carpark but was too late lol

Yep all polished ready lol, cant wait to remove whitewalls now lol.
