hello everyone, newest member here, im sure this Q has been asked time and time again but.......

are the fitment for 16v clios the same for standard clios?

i have a non 16v one and all the bodykit etc i like are 4 16v clios, i was wondering if they would fit my 1995 clio.

i was told that the 16v ones have wider arches as standard and wouldnt fit mine.

just wanted to clarify this matter so i can go spendin Very Happy

you would need the arches mate as they sit wider! back arches are a lot of money and not worth doing imo! you can pick front arches up cheap enough so you will need those before you start spending Smile

so as said no they won't fit properly and will look squashed! if they kits aren't made very strong either they may crack! Rolling Eyes
