Pretty much yeah. I just masked over the black bit so it wouldn't get deep scratches in because I was using quite a coarse bit of sand paper.
Then I just used 600-1200 wet and dry paper to even it out.

Cheers lol. I'll be putting the same wheels on the Inferno for winter 
Thanks mate. There's a guy on here who sells them in the traders section. If you type in Clio tow eye on eBay, his page should come up. There's a few different styles though, the one I've got and then the 'Si tow eye'.
It's a company. Myldan Auto Design. Yeah mate proper membership is really worth it! Get signed up!
Yeah as Tom said, its a company who make all sorts of things. I think they are around £16. I'm not sure if you can see the traders section. Might be worth pm-ing him, his forum name is something like Dan@MAD I think. Hope that helps mate!

Got 16mm hubcentric ones on the front and none on the back mate.
Oh sorry I thought this was the project thread for my Inferno lol!
I was running 16mm hubcentrics on the front and back on this car

ClioSport Saturday is getting close so I've got quite a few updates for you (Pic heavy :approve
First off, I decided to get a tow eye from Tom C off here, I was originally planning on buying a yellow ring or a yellow TRS tow strap, glad I didn't as I quite like this
After that I ordered some silver vision indicator bulbs (forgot to take photos of the front :dapprove
Then I bought some Team Heko wind deflectors, my passenger window wouldn't shut properly at first because the motor is weak ,but after a few days the wind deflectors settled and now it's fine
Here's a photo showing all three:
I finally got round to fitting the front strut brace lol
The last thing I've been up to is changing my bullets, here's the progress of them... quite detailed
This is how they started out: 1.2 bullets from my local scrappy
I then masked them up, ready for sanding
I did this so the bullets wouldn’t get scratched to death
So that’s what it looked like after I removed the masking tape
After this, I used 600, 800 and 1200 wet and dry paper to remove the rest of the numbers and scratches
All nice and primed
Sprayed gloss black, look at the shine!
Fitted
Bought a set of decals from Ady at N2Graphics
Compared to an original
Finally, a photo of what it will look like going to Cliosport Saturday:
That's everything for now, See you at CSS guys!
Oh wait, that reminds me, here's my decorated CSS car pass lol :clown:
Sorry for the massive read, hope it doesn't bore you too much :quiet:
Hi, was just looking through your thread - Loving what you've done with it, I've not long got a silver 1.2 and I like a lot of your mods, especially the carbon wrapping! Just a quick one as I liked the look of it, does the front strut brace do anything or is it just for show?
Alex
Thanks mate
I did enjoy doing up this car Are you planning to do a lot to yours?
I'm not entirely sure about the strut brace as I fitted it after I put coilovers on. The front end was very stiff and you couldn't feel any body roll. Saying that, I'm going to fit the strut brace to my new car after it's been painted so I'll let you know if it feels any better.
I think the best strut braces to go for are the pure motorsport ones as they actually fit on top of the top mounts instead of around them.
Hope that helps dude!

It looks great so well done! It was worth it
Yeah, got a few ideas
Haven't got a huge budget ATM but hopefully after a while I'll have mine looking a lot like yours! - Definitely going to look into carbon wrapping Ahh okay, fair enough! It looks pretty ace but I want an excuse to fit it too
Like spacing the wheels means it can corner better, so if this can reduce body roll that'd be a good excuse I'll have a look at the Motorsport ones then, thank you very much!
And yeah, it definitely all helped!
