i like the ones on the clio in the pic of the kit but those ones u posted should b nice,..

 

[Con]

the thing is dude the ones on that clio look huge and wld have to compensate performance

Its not often ill say this, but i think 15s will look stupid with that kit!

How about forget the kit and just slam it on 15s?

 

[Con]

he's wanting a show car so i think somethin radical is the order of the day
prob just get some deep dish 16s

 

[Ruth]

Well if he wants a "show car" the performance side might have to give a little. If he's getting a williams engine I'd say he wont have to worry too much.

 

[Con]

well suppose ur right altho....

 

[Con]

all show and no go

a williams engine on 18's or summat will deffo have enuff go to impress

enda day when its sittin at a show its not racin anythin....b very impressive to look at it thinkin it was a tasty lookin 1.2 to find out it actually packs a punch to match the looks!! i say go big!!

that kit deserves a dish rim mate. as much as I like the MOs.

Sell the 1.2 Clio and buy a Williams Clio. You'll need new brakes, suspension, exhaust, hubs, driveshafts, gearbox and possibly a new subframe.

I don't know the Clio very well but I have an Mi16 engine in my 205 and can't imagine the work involved in dropping that engine into a 1.2 GL and making the car safe.

You'll defnitely need a new subframe plus the clio 16v and Williams have cross members under the engine for strengthening that cant exactly be just ripped out and swopped over.

An easier swop will probably be the GT Turbo engine which isnt the hardest conversion to do and engines are cheap.

and a dump valve endless tuning potential!!

Surely if u want a show car you/he wouldnt car if it had "no go". As mook said - GO BIG!

 

[Taz007]

that blue one is really nice! go for somethin like that

 

[DaddyCC]

I hope the comps r wide boy wheels otherwise gonna look a bit daft...

 

[ibitza]

does anybody know what the wheels are that are on the blue clio in the picture ???

 

[casper-ac]

defitinetly need wide wide whees to fill out that kit. i dont think 15s will fill it out enough leaving gaps around the rear!

 

[Con]

now the more you's mention it the bigger wheels wld look better but deep dish split rims are the way to go i think lol
ne on e have an iidea what that kit is.

 

[Con]

it looks the prima racing altho it has been smoothed i think altho i cld be wrong. 306 side skirts aswell

 

[Boydie]

if ur wanting that kit def go for the big deep dishes

R5 GT Turbo engine sounds alot better than the williams one

wuuuummmp pitisssssssssssh

 

[Con]

but are 5 engines reliable???

 

[ally_mac]

but are 5 engines reliable???

they arent 2bad until u start messin wit the boost

i must admit i like the wide arch clio kit in them pics, them wheels look well on it with the huge dish, anything else will need some spacers to fill them out flush with the arch lip.

sounds like some work to do to get the desired engine all running 100%, good luck to him.

has he any colours he wants to spray this car? the blue suits it well imo.

 

[Con]

im not sure on colour lol
the world is his oyster lol cos he will need it fully resprayed lol
