UR Clio 200 Pre-Summer Detail/Refresh. Pics.

[Matt W]

Anyone who thinks the spacers suck must be about 45 lol!

Or don't fancy altering the finely tuned renaultsport handling

 

[boffey]

Which plate is your car? No warranty?

59 plate 4 months out of warranty, should have got and extended one, cars only done 24k aswell. Will see what percentage I can get if Renault but I was told I won't be left with a massive bill.

Christ, that's heavy mate.

The one I've bought is a 60 plate, reg'd sept 10', on 26k, tho it's got the remainder of the Reno warranty then I've got an extended one.

 

[Lawro]

Stunning as ever!

 

[welshname]

Looks larvly Chris. I'm going to bump park next to you tomorrow night.

 

[Christopher]

Don't even joke about it. Lol.

 

[Christophe]

can't get over how perfect this is. HID's will finish it off nicely. Any other plans after this or is that the mods done?

 

[Christopher]

awesome! Bar the spacers ;-)


​any exhaust plans??

Ha! Eventually mate, nothing OTT though.

Thanks!

Just get the HID kit in really. Maybe exhaust after that. Then ITB's down the line... maybe.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Indeed.. I've only been through 4 cars in 12 months.. sigh'

ha! never knew you sold the mini.

OT: Pics aint showing for me I'll just imagine its nice haha

 

[leeds_182]

That looks great. Cant beat the 200 rear.

 

[Gaz85]

everytime you post a thread i go looking at 200s. Just with the spacer and the ride height looks epic esp from the back so fat!

Cheers! Yeah, they look so special from the back. Special all round compared to the EDC. Lol.

 

[Christopher]

Why do I have a niggling thought that a black roof would look good?

 

[welshname]

I have literally now idea how people on here can say spacers are s**t. They're awesome, and I bet 99% of drivers on here can't tell the difference when driving with/without them.

Even the Clio Cup racers use them iirc, not quite as big as 25mm as they have better offset wheels but still use them none the less.

Why do I have a niggling thought that a black roof would look good?

It'd look good for literally a minute. Then gloss black vinyl gets horrifically swirly.

 

[Eddie.]

It wouldn't even look good for a minute.

It's 877% Bradford.

Have you started drinking already?

 

[Scrooge]

Looks fresh as f**k.

 

[Alan]

It doesn't go til next thurs man.. Pics of the new bus will be added in due course

 

[Matt26]

What spoiler is on this? Looks so much better than the Cup spoiler.

 

[Christopher]

It's a GT Spoiler. Factory option that not many people spec. Much better than the horrific chav wing that is the Cup spoiler.

Yup, Clio Cup cars use them too. 20mm and the Cup wheels are half an inch wider and magnesium.

No one one here could tell the difference. I couldn't. Zero.

The ride is slightly harder on the H&R springs though, I'll give you that. Only noticeable around town though.

 

[Matt W]

GT spoiler.

Better than the cup spoiler, but not as good as a sprint spoiler.

You really love being wrong about things don't you.

 

[Christopher]

I didn't spec a spoiler because I wanted a Sprint. Then I saw the quality of one up close.

Plus, it's red and plastic. It'll never match 100%.

 

[Alan]

Turner, where did you buy the springs.. I see they're priced 'accordingly' from Ktec.

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks great.

lolz at the black roof idea though.

 

[Christopher]

Lol! Yeah.

My springs and spacers were both from Larkspeed in Leeds.

 

[Alan]

Lol! Yeah.

My springs and spacers were both from Larkspeed in Leeds.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those guys! Shall have a look now.

 

[Gaz85]

Needs to be done!

You obviously didn't see one done by sprayshack

 

[Christopher]

They must've sanded the crap out of it then! The few I've seen look horrific.

 

[Matt W]

It's painted better than the original paint on the car.

Anyway, I would have gone for a gt spoiler if I ordered sooner.

 

[Christopher]

You couldn't option one?

​I wanted Alien Green but I couldn't spec it. :dapprove:

 

[Matt W]

Was too late in ordering, they stopped production so I had to pick out one from pre-built cars.

 

[Craig.]

Looking good as always.

i was just about to say chris who ever painted the ones you seen must have done a s**t job, my sprint spoiler is a perfect match & the quality of the spoiler was good too.

Wrong boyo.

I had them and they are full of fail imo. I ran 16mm hub centric eibachs, coupled with H&R coilies. Ran it non spaced for a good 12 months before I decided to try them. For me they had a detrimental effect to how it behaved. Lost its pointyness, tramlined more, and the worse bit was how it felt from high speed braking. Lost all confidence in it. Persevered for a week, then binned them off on ebay.

Go > show

[Brett]

You've had it painted already? Mentalist.

Best way to keep on top of it though I guess. It looks stunning as always.

 

[gez 172]

People comparing spacers on a cup race car, to a road car. The difference is; a track is smooth, doesn't rise in the middle, and no pot holes.

Spacers are always a bad idea on a road car

 

[Christopher]

Sweeping generalisations are awesome.

I'd much rather have it look 100% better than have it 5% better on the absolute limit. It really is 5% too.

Mental.
