Yeah, seems to work well as you can adjust the ride height without affecting the preload on the springs.

I've had BCs and HSDs, wanted something similar for the Clio but couldn't get anything

So many look-alikey coilovers. Those MeisterR things are the same as BCs/HSDs/etc too... or at least look it!

Sexy looking stuff anyway!

Thanks Kyle. I'll let you know how they perform once there fitted and tested. Will be doing a few track days with them. I think they will far exceed my super track ability though but I will give it a bloody good try haha.

Cut my arches the other day ready for coilovers. Also cut the front splitter off the front bumper to stop it from scraping everywhere

Just a couple of very quick pictures for now
Fitted my summer wheels back on and fitted my yellowspeed coilovers too
Not exactly slammed but it will do for now. Going to let it settle and see what it ends up like.

Thanks Steve
Already has that was before I drove it. Litterally dropped it off the jack, handbrake off. Had a quick bounce of it and took a picture. So it's a good 5-10mm lower now

Like the way it drives now too, them coilovers are awesome. Really comfortable but tighten up quite nicely when you chuck it into corners.

Paintwork up next I think
Also need to depo my lights front and rear and got my colour coded headlight rings
Undecided wether to paint the arches gloss black or body colour.... Any opinions?

Should have said as soon as you drive it off the drive it wont look any lower.

I was more getting at people who think the car is somehow going to settle over a "few weeks" and get lower. Load of nonsense lol.

No haha. That was just straight away. It's about 5-10mm lower now. Made up wth how it looks though
Any lower and it will become undrivable.
The sideskirt at the front is 7cm off the floor as it is...

Painted my rear lights today.
Cut the lenses off using a dremel
Removed all the chrome, masked off and then keyed the surface and primed.

Painted matte black (still wet in photo hence looking gloss)
Now there in the garage sealed together, taped up while the sealant cures

As Daz said. Painted the chrome edges black.
I'll get a finished picture tomorrow or something. Show you the difference.

Looking lovely mate. Only ever driven a mini once and enjoyed it... although it was a 55 plate with no powered steering?

Never heard of one without power steering? Unless it was just broke as at common as muck on these

Yerp with all you commoners. Told pricey to buy some black silicone sealant on the way down. Muppet bought the guttering stuff that doesn't actually set just goes gooey.....
So I've had to steal some windscreen bond from work today and I'll reseal them tonight or tomorrow night.
