leeRS Clio Sport 172 ph2

I just turned to auto lights off on mine and the indications on the dash and rear lights all turned off, not sure if that helps?

I was just reading your build thread to where you separated the lens from the main housing.

I might do it that way so I still have lights.

@SharpyClio what was the duct you purchased to do yours with?

Looks a bit more of an oval shape.

It’s was an intake from a Vauxhall Astra


Decent fit, just need to get decent adhesive as mine came away as it never seemed to set: I was going to redo it but got the blanks. Should do it really in case of a wet track day and I need lights.

Perfect, thanks!

Still got a few weeks until the respray is completed so need little odd jobs to do so things one of them.

Presuming you just separated the lens, drilled a hole and stuck the duct in place.
Reseal the lens and good to go?

Yep. I got some small metal clips to help hold the lens to the backing while it set but I just left them in place.

@SharpyClio ehats the technique to separating the lens?

Is it just these clips holding it in place which seem to be glued on?



Will a hairdryer be enough heat or do I need to put it in the oven?

Also - did you remove the light behind where the duct is and if so, how did it look inside the light fitting when you had finished.

Update!

Having stripped the clio down earlier in the year for respray, it is almost back in my hands and will be ready for me to collect on Saturday.

I wanted to give a nod back to Renault so went with racing blue for the bumpers and sides.
Roof and boot are black and my carbon bonnet will finish it off nicely.

I’ve also purchased a track car aero track wing and front splitter which I will be fitting once I have the car back.

Should be nice and fresh for Anglesey CSF.

I will get the cage out and respray that to. I’m thinking either white or black but not decided yet.

Started to piece it back together today. 😍
