Has this been lowered

[RicH-]

When i bought the car he told me it had been lowered but the guy does talk some sh*t so i dunno what to belive!! Does it look as if its been lowered at all ? or does that look standard height on 17s ?

Yes about 30mm.

definitely lowered, these clios do tend to sit quite high which can be misleading. Personally i think that looks to be about 55-60mm as my mate lowered his 60 on 17s and it looked about the same as that.

 

[RicH-]

what u think the back ends even been lowered ?

So if i put 15s on do u think it will look much lower ?

im running 205 40 17s atm and will be gettin some 195 50 15s.

 

[steve a]

Yeah will look lower on 15s.

 

[spirez]

its hard to say as the car is parked on the curb and i cant see where the arch starts/wheel ends. Could you fit a fag packet face down between the arch and wheel?

 

[RicH-]

The front tyres sit under the arch a little bit , and the rear tyres are about on the arch,but sometimes when parked up it looks lower,then other times it looks high! if u know what i mean , maybe summin to do with the handbrake..But i could probly fit a fag packet under the rear arch.

Ok i just took a couple of pics , but in the dark so not top quality ,u can just make out the rear arch and tyre , this time parked off the kurb,what do u think ?

Ive got 17s on my phase 1 and it Hasnt been lowered and it looks about the same as urs at the back, front?? possibly lowered

 

[steve a]

Umm doesnt look like the backs been lowered in that pic. Hard to say if the front has or not.

 

[Daz.]

Id say no to be honest.

 

[RicH-]

[RicH-]
