Got the brembos fitted tonight well chuffed and they look the tit, fitment is close tho so spacers will be needed along with 197 brakelines as the Clio ones are to short

Looking good. Wheel weights look like they'll hit the calliper in those pics? Are they the 16" cup wheels?

Yeah when I spun the wheel it did hit, so I've ordered 5mm spacers so hopefully that'll fix the issue

Same been far to long with out it
must hold back on the power tho

 

[andybond]

must hold back on the power tho

How come ?

 

[W33 BRL]

How come ?

Had a total nightmare getting my turbo hybrid so the guys sending me my standard one back with my money, but has offered to fitted the hybrid for free once he gets it so I'll hold the power at 260ish until I get the hybrid

 

[andybond]

Who did you use ?

I can point you in the direction of a few people if needed. Having said that you know about the meg 250 turbo dont you ?

 

[W33 BRL]

It was through the guys at clioturbo but he got screwed about, so I'm trying. To weight my options just know while he sorts it out... If the 250 turbo is already hybrid then yeah that's what I need

Sorry to hear that I hope it gets resolved soon, and still 260hp in a car that weighs just over a tonne is going to be lightening quick
