Extra Stripey Gordini - Recaro pics added

[MRizzle]

i have the poorboy's sealant...good product that will protect your wheels but does absolutely nothing in terms of keeping dirt,grime and brake dust away...i may try this:

That's reputably brilliant too. Same principle as the CQuartz stuff. I've not tried it personally but it does get raved about and I know a few people that swear by it.

i have used a couple of the G products in the past and they do work....G1 and G2 on my windshield...

Wheels looks very nice.

Were they expensive?

 

[Pav]

see post 21 Chris...

 

[Chris]

Ah... Actually quite reasonable compared to Ozs for example..

Yes I thought so too. Not much more than half the price of an alleggerita in the same size. I realise they won't be as light as the oz but they are still reasonably light yet very strong, as well as being built exactly to your specs. Some of the features such as the stiffening ribs (I think Braid call them microwaves) are interesting too. Out of interest Braid also offer an alleggerita (lightweight) version of the Fullrace A for a small extra charge if you are focused on weight. This lightweight version appears to involve machining some of the face of the wheel off (looks wise think a standard gordini wheel where the face is polished and the sides of the spokes would be painted). I didn't go for this option as I'm never sure of the durability of polished alloys.

Had fun tonight fitting my KTR induction kit. Think I will enjoy driving to work in the morning

Interior

Finally got round to adding some interior mods. Apologies in advance for those of you who hate Gordini interiors as I have added some more logos and stripes

Started off with some dash strips I bought from this site:



These were sent to Simon at SprayShack who did a great job making my design a reality (thank you Simon):



Also painted the steering wheel insert to match:



Piece of cake to fit:

a very nice touch..love it

Effing fabulous is all i can say !!!!

You had some great vision there. I'd rock it all the way..........

LOVE that whole interior now in a big way. The touches have completely pulled it all together. STUNNING. :clap: :jase: :thumbup1: :zomg:

 

[Gordini]

Thank you guys I have so many ideas all round for the car but having a big family means things won't move as quickly as I'd like. I think that's it for the blue bits inside but would consider some custom recaros later on. Would also like a leather dash like in the 20th anniversary model.

Next up some coilies and then some exterior bits.

Once funds allow some engine options...

 

[Chris]

What coilies you going to opt for?

 

[Gordini]

What coilies you going to opt for?

Was thinking of the Bilstein B14. Thoughts? (fast road use, not much track work)

 

[Chris]

I have B14s on my 200t and they are superb!

 

[Johnny 99]

Absolutely love what you're doing mate! Even love the white wheels!

 

[Gordini]

Thanks guys Love the car and hoping to do something special with it given time

looks great. top job from sprayshack, from what i can see in the photos. (not sure if the black parts go along with the rest of the dash ...)

i'm thinking about lowering my clio as well. i'm considering the (adjustable) koni sportkit instead of the B14's. not as popular as the B14's on here, though.

Thanks mate. I'll take a look at the konis too. The black bits are the standard parts. I'm worried if I have these painted in Malta blue too it would be too much but any suggestions welcome

yeah, blue would be too much. in my red bull-version they're a metallic anthracite kind of colour. not as hard as black. here's a dutch red bull clio for reference (it's also got some tasty leather recaro's and leather dash, which are not standard) ... http://www.speurders.nl/overzicht/autos/renault/renault-clio-2-0-rs-redbull-edition-154063008.html

That Red Bull is very nice and only 8 thousand kilometres! I may need a LHD car in the future if I move to Prague and that would be ideal
