Looks good, what springs and spacers u got?

 

[marshall]

Loads better....why Renault didnt widen the track of the Clio enough to not require spacers I don't know. Surely a wider track to fill the arches would have been beneficial!

Stunning. Don't see it being long till I'm on springs and spacers...least width are they?

That's how they should have left the factory!

Thanks for all the comments...taken all the great advice/reviews from this site..!!!

I used the H&R 30/40 springs..looks great and not much different in ride..!! Mine is an FF. £156. Garage mechanic said the Clio is ******* to change front springs..!!

Now I really want recaros but finding them is a challenge...!!! I'm thinking of removing centre section of exhaust...who's had this done/is it woth it??

 

[smoggy mark]

looking good mate,i would like some recaros to!

 

[Willis]

Looking good mate!

On the silencer front, have a look in the Exhaust section, there's a big 30-odd page thread all about the centre silencer with videos in there as well as The Definitive Exhaust Thread which you may find helpful. I'd link them for you but I'm on the iPhone so you'll have to have a look or do a search but you can't miss them...

 

[matt_p]

looks much better u running the springs on standard shocks? im thinking of doing this to mine soon

 

[CSOJON2982]

Great, thanks for the links above too, good references

Just read through and will be getting a quote tomorrow...!!! Can justify the 450+ it will cost for full/cat back system..!!

Yes mate standard FF, not found a huge difference in ride..!!

All booked in to have centre silencer cut out tomorrow, fitted metal pressed number plates today..!! Will post video / pics later..!!!

 

[Stu197]

Just re done pillars in black carbon..looks so much better..!!













Might move RS badges to centre of pillar but can't decide...they won't stick so will need to glue them..!!!

New sicker...
