Thanks dude!

Stunning:thumbup1:

Thanks dude!

looking good mate,

Thanks dude!

Looks fantastic, coilovers definitely make the clio look a lot better

How are you finding the ride comfort compared to standard?

Thanks dude!

I am finding it awesome tbh, they are stiffer than cup pack but not to the point you hate them sometimes. Tbh i can still nail a country road or roundabout. I am 100% happy with the quality of the "uprated" ride shall we say.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks dude!

Love that pic to Simo. If only the rear sat that little bit lower on the KWs.

The rear does sit a little higher but it does sit a little higher standard. When the Clio goes back to TDF for more aligning after bedding in i may get them to bring the front up 4-5mm. The stance is very good though tbh and in some photos it looks lower than it actually is at the front. Although like i said it does sit lower as it would in standard form!

May bs ome custom rear springs may work??

Could do, but i cant help but think KW know what they are doing on this matter and will proboably just leave it be i think!

Thanks for all the comments guys, not sure what is next instore for the Clio. Need to get a good headunit sorted tbh.

Thanks!
 
Hey guys,

Just a small update:

TaDaaaaaaa:

And

Bleeding worked pretty well to be honest with very little getting in the way on the day! Ran alot of 5.1 through just to make sure that we had it pure as its not the sort of thing i want to be going back to to get right.

Hoses were easy to fit, pads slotted straight in and also took the opportunuty to give the calipers a good cleaning out of any brake dust build up.

Now that they have bedded in a bit i have got to say the 1144 is an awesome pad. Some guys love the standard pads but i never got on with them, they lack feel and bite in my opinion. Obviously did the hoses at the same time which will contribute to the pedal feel too i guess but the combination of both is awesome.

Once the pads are warm and at good operating temperature, if you really wanna stop, you can absolutely do it with confidence now i find.

All in all very happy!

Just love this shot..................still :wink:

Thanks dude!

Thanks dude!

Looks fantastic.. This is the colour i wanted originally.

Thanks dude!

Saw you passing b&q etc on saturday in boro, car really does look sweet...and by the sounds of it, stops well too

Thanks dude! Dont remember seeing your 200 about! I had just picked up the brake fluid when you saw me in that case! Awesome times.
 
did you spray your rear diamond in the end, ? (if so any pics)

i want to order the 4 peice carbon front rear and side bullets from streamline carbon but a bit unsure what its going to look like on a R/B.

No! lol. I dunno why i just prefer it silver at the back. As for the front i just think its better black because the grills are new now, not faded and therefore black along with the xenons too so it sort of just fits in IMO!

Cheers.
 
Looking good mate, good to see someone took that pads out without the pins/pads sticking lol!

Yes mate, pretty much worry free tbh. The pins came out fine with some gentle tapping all except one which got the wd40 treatment. Let soak for a few mins and then came out after some more persuasion!

Tbh it did go smooth...........i'll put it down to my friends skills though as he did most of the work for me after doing the same on the R26!
 
Hey all, just a quick update.

Washed and a few pics of the car. Came up really well! I only got photos after i have dryed the car and before a layer of Dodo! Probably because im just really weird.
