White clio 1.2

[McGherkin]

NO, don't plastidip them in a bright colour, they look best when they're subtle.

 

[ChrisP_182]

i really like it mate, i'd leave the wheels as they are now

 

[Chris_Beer]

A Cup / Skoda Splitter
Smoothed colour coded bullets
Painted door handles, the Cup Spoiler, sort boot holes and rear bumper
Lower it plenty
Refit Narrow plate


Would really set the car off, the wheels look spot on bar the arch gap!

 

[deanogee7]

the plans i've got for the winter is:

colour code the spoiler & door handles, maybe even the bullets.
sort out the clio badge
i NEED to spray the front bumper, wings and side skirts as the dick who did it, never primed or sanded them therefore peeling!
I would also like to camber the back wheels, 2 degrees maybe and lower it more to pull off the wheels.

any advice would be great cheers!

 

[alexr19]

Looks awesome as is. What size are the wheels?

 

[Chris_Beer]

My advice is swap the wheels for some nice Turini's in my garage

Cheers now

 

[bennettxo]

So cool

 

[deanogee7]

Update - January 2014!

Got my Flat wipers on the front,
Been waiting to spray my bumper, side skirts, wings and spoiler for a long time now, finally got it done!
The car went in to the sprayers on monday and came out friday, awesome job.

The car failed its mot as the stupid airbag and service light is STILL on, its a pain in the arse!

Monday is when it goes in and hopefully ill clean and polish it before going to uni!

so the updates were:

- 3M'd the front lights
- aerowipers
- colour coded spoiler and door handles
- Mirror black roof
- Front bumper, Sideskirts and Wings resprayed
- Top and bottom grills sprayed and fog light covers sprayed gloss black

slow progress to come!
P.S Sorry about the bad pictures!

 

[Knuckles]

Looks ace, the wheels would look brilliant the same colour as the diamonds

 

[rich-k-]

[deanogee7]

Wow you've made loads of progress since I last looked at your thread! I love the look of the car now!

I used to to have those coilovers on my old 1.6. They're a bit crashy but for the money the can make the car look so much better! Don't see why you'd have a problem with those camber shims tbh.

Also, now you've got a Skoda splitter, does it mean your old one is up for sale?

P.S. Those wheels are awesome! I was looking for those before I found the Rota Grid Drifts.

thankyou mate, gonna be horrible when i come to sell it!

how far do the coils go? you reckon they are worth it?

haha, yeah ill let you know about it when its actually here!

 

[Dannyeff]

Nice looking Clio well done!

Yeah I'm glad I put them on mine. I had it lowered 60mm front and 55mm on the back. The fronts could go down a bit more but I think that was the max on the rear. The wheels are 15" in this photo.

 

[Loz H]

Mega love for this!

 

[CoryColeWilkins]

I love what this car has turned into!

I have got 60mm springs all round, but i need it lower all around to pull of the wheels as they are 16"

 

[Paul.M]

Wow lovely looking motor matey, good luck with the future plans!

 

[Willsam]

I'm running those coilovers at the moment mate, like dan said they are a bit crashy, front end is quite bouncy but you get used to it after a while, my splitter hits the floor a lot where I live, isn't far off the floor and there's quite a bit of thread on the coilovers to go a bit lower, the back end on just the springs no adjusters sits just above the rear wheels.

Car looks amazing though mate, love what you've done to it.

 

[JAParker]

did you go too liverpool uni? there used too be a white 172 rep around

ahh okay mate, i don't know whether to go for them coils or ones on the ktec website which are a bit more expensive. My spine is used to all of the smashing around with the springs now, so i should be okay with it haha, thanks!

UPDATE: JULY 2014

First update is the rear numberplate light holder, old one was an absolute state! so brand new one looks much better

Thanks for looking!

It seems very weird to leave the wheels on the car! You didn't even cover over the tyres.

haha iknow mate, its easier than taking the wheels off the car, it just peels straight off the tyre

 

[robhoops]

Looking for good mate, not my cuppa tea of the wheels, but the car looks immense
