They’re an M10 hex bolt - 45 mm in length. You’ll need a heavy duty washer mind, otherwise they’ll bend when you torque them down. Here’s the part number 7703019198 but NLA I’m afraid.
Another alternative is to speak to whoever refurbishes them and ask if you get some paint mixed up, can they paint them in that colour. Ask them how much you’ll need.
Then find a decent Bodyshop who should scan the centre cap, then mix the exact colour for you.
I did this many years ago when...
Non CUP models came with Silver wheels, CUP/ CUP packed models in Anthracite, which judging by the centre caps, looks like yours are off a CUP.
The factory colour is Ixel 205-110 but there’s no RAL code which most refurbishing companies will ask for. It’s a chew on, but the closest colour to...
I've got a 2005 182 but the relay board is the same from what I can see, only my relays are all Brown.
Those 3 smaller Black relays are for injectors, cooling fan and starter motor. The two bigger Brown relays are for fuel pump and fans (A/C) and the purple relay is for the fan blower inside the...
There were a couple of 172/182s at Croft circuit yesterday. I was chatting to the owners and they said that given the choice, they'd have stayed NLA or gone K20.
Renault fitted these to comply with noise regulations and to modulate the sound of the engine at various stages of performance. I reinstalled mine because I was on a standard map, and the car was hesitating slightly during cold starts. As soon as I refitted the valve, the car ran fine again. So...
I fitted a set of these - https://frogjammotorsport.co.uk/collections/clio-2rs/products/snr-rear-brake-discs-renault-clio-172-182-mk2-rs and they've been spot on. It has the same SNR bearing as used by Renault. @FrogJam Motorsport are on here in case you need to reach out to them.
Autoglass replaced my screen a fews back when the bonnet went through the screen. They couldn’t find me an exact replacement so I lost the rain sensors but it was a good fit.
Hold off until tomorrow - I recently replaced mine with a brand-new one from K-Tec Racing. There's nothing wrong with the old one, but I was restoring my RB and decided to splash out, as you do.
I'll be working in the garage tomorrow, so I'll take a look and see if I can find the old one. It's...
Many moons ago they did. I used to work for Fleet Factors and made up brake lines on-site for over-the-counter. Easy to do these days with a few bits of kit.
A ‘normal’ 172 aren’t full fat. They’re only available on the 182.
182 full fat cars have two CUP packs but are not CUPs either 😂
Here’s a definitive guide - https://www.cliosportregister.co.uk/clio-172-182-guide
Do you understand the model range well, specifically the differences between CUP, non-CUP and cars with CUP packs?
I guess insurance will go off the reg number, but if you're new to these cars, it should help you in your search.
Yeah much more comfortable and safer. All about personal safety, fook everybody else. If you've got a suit, go for it. My mate went to my track day in his full race kit. There's only a few seconds a lap difference, anyway, so it's going to hurt either way.
I have a full race suit but it doesn't fit now.
Still wear my Sparco dancing shoes - the clio pedals are too close for my size 11s - and an OMP Nomex long sleeve under my hoodie.
I have another Hans device on the way to go with my new helmet as the one I sold to Rich was never used, and it...
