White Clio 172 Project, Speedline 2118 and OZ F1 content

[Ricardos]

Been working on the white 172 putting parts on the shell, tonight i thought i'd mock up the metallic grey OZ up front to see how it would look. Sod it, i took a Speedline 2118 off the blue Clio and did the same mock up procedure.

If Carlsberg did coilovers and spacers......

The tyres are actually tucked tight behind the inner lip of the arch

I get the feeling it would still scrub a little though, somehow!
Especially cornering...

[yeecup]

yep, exactly how i want my ph1 wheels to look, again ill ask what size are spacers so i can get some ordered

Looks awesome with the white wheels

If you look at the pics there's no suspension, hubs, brakes etc. I've used the toolbox to prop the wheel up in the arch to give it the spacered look. My guess is i'd need 20-25mm spacers each side to give it this look, i've looked inside the arch and there's about 50-60mm of clearance between the top of the tyre and the inner arch.

OZ F1 wheels are Ford Sea Metallic grey, i basically have 2 full sets of wheels and both are shod in Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tyres.

I'm thinking of changing the grey colour
