ok so I bought a Clio Sport today, long story short... Got a blow out coming from Liverpool over snakes pass.
Now the issue... I work in Newcaste :-/
This post probably doesn't belong here but I'm desperate. Does anybody have either -
A standard 172/182 alloy, steel wheel, anything basically...
Not man enough for red, tiny balls :(
There all prepped at work now... Still no idea what colour to do them tho... And times ticking !
Also for the record , the bonnets carbon , only did the roof black to try and keep the black/carbon theme but I agree the roof looks s**t. Begrudge painting...
Ok so I'm going to bore everybody who reads this with my dilemma , a lad a work curbed my wheel pretty badly so I'm just going to paint all 4 as they all have slight damage from either stones rattling round the dish or retarded tyre fitters. Here's the damaged one incase anybody wants to laugh...
I heard about this car, it's got a full AAS stainless system on it, got offered the car for £1100. Walked away, far to cheap so something's dodgy . Apparently the lads just bought a new ad so the clio's no longer needed but why sell it for that little. Fishy
Im in the process of getting a cup spoiler made in carbon and a buddy's making a carbon roof skin when I pester him enough so it was more to see how the black flowed over the car. Also got a carbon rear trim/front badge/carbon fog surrounds on route.
I know there just bits of fibreglass to...
Yeh it's a 172, I painted some parts for a R8 on the Monday and fell in love with the colour so just went with it. Looks alot better in the flesh if I'm honest . Going to get my pal Stu to take some proper pics.
Ok so just a quick update, had a impulse to repaint the clio in a different colour and do a bit of smoothing/tidying up (car park dents galore!).
So the purists won't like it and I know iv ruined a good car etc etc but it's just a work horse to me, and I suppose it's all down to personal taste...
Sorry for the late reply pal. Depends how low you go, the front of mine won't physically go lower as it touches the inner arch on occasions (not even with full lock :-/ )
You will deffo need to put a massive flare on the rear and move the front bumper carriers forward about 4", not easy buddy...
Nice car mate, I nearly bought it when it was on eBay but the lad diddnt get back to me . Wanted a silver one but ended up with a black one ... Which subsequently I'm going to paint lol
Aaaaanyway, nice car buddy :)
Cheers pal, tiny bit of scrubbing on the rear with more than 1 passenger , gonna fit some of those rubber things that people use when towing to stop the spring compressing too far . Although it did take ALOT of graft to get them to fit. There 16"x8" et15 lol
Also , appreciate all comments good and bad. Ref the badges, is I could find a colour similar I was going to black the badge and do the letters in the bronze but Rota won't release the paint code so il just have to try and match something up at work
