Maggi's Cup

Can't wait to see it!

Same! Only a day till I collect XD

Then it's a few bits off for paint. And then I can think about black roof and doing something about the wheels (the one bit that lets the car down IMO)

 

[XNicolalaX]

Black roof would look good! You thinking of having new wheels, or looking at re-spraying them?

 

[maggi200]

If you scroll back a bit there's a pic when my car did have its roof wrapped last year, but it didn't last long after a number of issues and cock ups.

And as for the wheels. I missed out on some 182s last night. I love the cup alloys but they're a pain (In standard finish at least) as they pick up marks just by looking at them. The black chips and cracks very easily. So I've considered alternative wheels to give me slightly more arch clearance on the front and better choice when it comes to new tyres.

I'm looking at oz f1s (assuming they'll fit over the calipers) in 15"
Turinis in 16"
182s also 16"

Whatever I get would be refurbished in black.

 

[XNicolalaX]

Ah just had a look at the roof. It does look better wrapped black! Yeah I think the Turinis in black would definitely look good.

 

[maggi200]

Thing is, turinis in 16" Renault fitment likely to have an offset that rubs on the back. And even possibly on the front but I doubt that.

Turinis also = ££££ it seems.

 

[maggi200]

Just collected these and had a chat with Simon and Thomas and vines. I'm very very impressed. It's fantastic quality, it feels very robust too.

Can't wait to fit it all again tomorrow

Apologies for the poor iPhone pics

That looks so good! Will look awesome fitted.

If you buy a set from Cliosport.net from a 172Cup / 182 Trophy I'm pretty sure their offset is something like ET48 so maybe no rubbing?

Have you got a supply of tape yet to de-fluff the dash. There will be a lot of loose bits at first and I've found it to be the easiest way to keep it dust free. Cheap masking tape or packing tape wound round your hand and patted down lifts the loose bits

When assembling mine, I used a cloth to pad out the areas where I was pressing against to clip it back in. Limit the chances of digging in to the flock. I know it was cured, but I guessed it would take a while to reach full cure as it still smelled of solvents.

 

[maggi200]

I've now discovered that the cups are et38.5 and trophys are around 43 I think. Certainly more tucked in.

I think I may go for cups and bash the rear arch somewhat :lol:

Looking good. Bet you're glad you have me as I do believe this was my idea x

Hmm you do have your uses

Will you kill me if I buy turinis or do I need to hide them?

If I killed you what would I do without you?! Haha. Go for it. Then I get your wheels!!

Hopefully nobody would notice the lump in the garden :twisted:
