Ollie's Silver Cup

Megane r26

H&R 25mm spacers all round, rolled and slight pull to the rear arches and a bit of a bumper trim. On the fronts I haven't touched a thing. No arch liners removed from front or rear either

Bring the back up a bit as you suggested and it'll be bang on. Like it a lot.

Many Things
The thing is that will only make it look level, it will still look stupid as euro wheels + wheel arch gap = FAIL!
Get some coilovers and do the job properly :rasp:

but arent the d90s 5 stud and clios are 4?

Not a fan tbh. I can't stand d90's. I just don't get the hype. Only reason they're popular is the size and the Porsche badge.
Get some coilovers. Are you still running STD shocks?
Just a whole load of NO from me.

Yes, maybe spacers wasn't the correct term, they are 4-5 stud adaptor spacers.
Appreciate the view, but tbh I think they look sweet, and I would still have them if they were 4 stud and Renault wheels, fair enough the offset wouldn’t be as extreme but that can be sorted
It’s nice to be different too, I know the whole D90 thing has been done before, but nobody locally has them so it ticks that box for me straight away.
Currently running standard shocks whilst I decide what to do, I realise it’s not great for them, but no point spending more than I need too if I’m not going to keep them or change the set-up anyway.

That's fair enough. I like the euro look and used to have a smoothed and decked polo with a 20vt lump it's just d90's aren't to my taste.
But get the stance sorted, add a splitter at the front as it helps make the front look lower and it'll look good.
The 1 thing about the Clio for me is the fun it gives me. Running that low will ruin the handling and the fun for me.

The Polo sounds interesting, if you have any pictures could you PM some over? Wouldn't mind seeing that.
A CF splitter is on the list, but I have another project that’s sapping all my funds, so that’ll have to wait :dapprove:
I agree with the handling side of things, it has impaired it slightly, although it does seem to turn in a lot better. I'm only planning on running them for the summer months anyway; unless I get sufficiently bored with the look or ride.

I'll pm you!
Save the money and get a skoda fabia splitter for a tenner. Running as low as you are I wouldn't want to risk smashing a £110 splitter up!

Was thinking that after reading a post yesterday, 1 MAJOR thing puts me off though..... I have a serious carbon fetish!
Cheers for the PM, you've had some tidy cars.
Iceberg 172
I love carbon but now my Clio is quite low at the front I knew it'd get scuffed etc.
Mine scrapes over normal speed bumps so sod having a £100+ splitter scraping along the Tarmac!

Low 'n' Slow
You could have saved yourself the effort of typing that... my question was not where can i get adapters from? it was actually where did he get his adapters from?

Previous owner of the wheels no doubt, so your next port of call is 1 of many places inc 1 of the above.

I actually got them from here; http://www.cartuningpoint.de/
nobody in the uk could come close on price. They also have an eBay shop that is easier to navigate as it's in English
