iv read that there were 150 made but iv spoke with mr michael at Dimma in belgium and he said there were only 40 world wide made but only about 25 something in the uk. we are a company in retford notts that do body kits and performance parts we are also Dimma uk dealers.

the original dimma concept was i think designed from terry pankhurst or at least he was the 1 commisioned to do the uk built cars,he's based near oulton park.

ye Dimma uk is now bankrupt and from what i was told by Dimma belgium terry was only there uk distributor and built the uk car models but the kits were all built in belgium.

Allan

i can't confirm if it was an original or not as i got the car already kitted, but the number plate up until 2006 was D11MMA, which is not on a pug Dimma

Allan
24-08-2008, 00:30

SIMONCLIODIMMA
24-08-2008, 00:41
i think cams head work chipped exhaust and manifold pluss other bits and bobs. i just got it today so need to check it out but iv got recepts adding up to a silly amount of money.

Allan
24-08-2008, 00:47

SIMONCLIODIMMA
24-08-2008, 01:04
ye will do mate. im trying to deside what colour to have the clio cos its a nice met burgundy colour but wanted it blue. im undesided cos its an original Dimma and dont want to realy change it and spoil it.

any ideas ??????????

Allan
24-08-2008, 01:23
as long as you do a decemt job on the paint, it must be naples which is the orginal colour of mine. :)

I have seen dimmas in 449 bllue, brooklands green and naples, and they all looked good, although would avoid the green i dont think it suits the car.

Else none orignal you have yellow like mine, there is another one here in orange with a black bonet and roof, or maxiboys maxi in bright green :D

A full black would be nice too, candred could be awesome, so many choices.

SIMONCLIODIMMA
24-08-2008, 02:01
i was thinking candy blue or subaru blue. i dont like the green at all but i like the 449 cos iv had one that colour. i would ether keep it as it is or do it in one of the blue colours. i would do it when the engine is out if im changing the colour as it needs to be done right. but as i said i dont want to make it into something thats going to spoil it.

Allan
24-08-2008, 14:00
There is alredy one in scooby blue, and mine used to be a pearl blue with silver flip.


I much prefer the yellow, candy blue would be nice, i wonder what it would look like in candy red though :D

If your going to go blue try and keep it a darker colour as the really light blues don't too amazing

SIMONCLIODIMMA
24-08-2008, 14:18
funny you should say that i was looking at candy red so im going to get a price on the paint on tuesday. is there a subaru blue Dimma clio ?

Allan
24-08-2008, 17:18
yup, not seen it about for a while, but there is one knocking about, and obviously the bright orange one in derby too (which was black with flake)
Some times see them up MFN on a sunday
