.The front skirt looks too much like an add on, would much rather see it follow or exentuate the oringinal lines of the car. Like the spoiler, however I think a racing spoiler such as that on the Super 1600 would suit it better. I definitely dislike the steel grill. Would much prefer a black...

I only managed to get the bare headlight unit from the breakers yard. Therefore I have to remove my present unit, dismantle it, fit the bulbs into the new unit, attatch the xenon charging unt and reinstall the light into the car. Im a bit worried that there could be some cunning pitfalls...

You cant decide which of the mk1 and mk2 172sis better by a simple comparison. They are different cars after all. The mk1 is by far more agressive to look at and is thus preferred by the hot-head boy racer elements. Whereas the mk2 is a more conventional cleaner looking car. The mk1 I think...

I recently read an article, I think it was published by the Driving Standards Agency, which stated that in a review of accident statistics only 4 % of all accidents were due to the driver losing control. Worringly however 68% of all accidents were caused by lack of concentration. My point is...

Ive got a kind of related question? What do people think of the "CLIO RS TMAP 220" kit as described by Sommaire. http://www.technomap.fr/general.htmhttp://www.technomap.fr/general.htm

A much greater benefit to performance is the careful location and routing of the intake pipes. The use of smooth piping with as few bends as physically possible would significantly affect mass flow. I inquired with k & N concerning their Typhoon induction kit for that precise reason, but...

The following website has some good insights into Ram Air. http://www.xs4all.nl/~zx11/uk3.htmhttp://www.xs4all.nl/~zx11/uk3.htm I agree completely, to actually get a ram air effect that will have a positive effect on performance you would require a nice big air intake. However locating this...

Ahha. the old PV = nRT argument, like it! Adiabatic effects only tends to occur with rapid high compression. Usually much greater than a simple funnel can manage. We also cant ignore the Psychrometric effects of the moisture in the airstream.

You can view this argument purely from a Fluid Mechanics point of view. To inflate the balloon in the above (ridiculous manner) the velocity head created by the airflow must produce forces sufficient to overcome the internal forces due to the elasticity of the balloon. From Bernoullis...

Ive been looking for some bits for my car and Ive concluded that most renaults are crashed in the Birmingham area. The only places that had the parts were Just Renault in Walsall and Cliospares in Wolverhampton. Both were willing arrange delivery.

Hi, Does anyone know the part numbers for the upper grilles that are fitted in front of the bonnet. I need another one for a carbon fibre meshing project. As I will be cutting most of it away it doesnt matter what car its from, that is assuming that they standard grille is fixed the same as...

if you are talking about the two inch piece of black rubber that is fixed to the bottom of the cups front bumper, its part number may or not be 8200 248 910 Ive tried checking but the Renault parts computer / CD has not been updated yet to include clio cup parts. Ive been told there is an...

Does everyone else despise the idea of the remake of the Italian Job, its bad enough that they have replaced Michael Caine with Mark Wahlberg. But using the new Mini Cooper s as the get-away cars is ridiculous. The original reason for using the Mini in the original film is that it was the...

The silver super 1600 is the promotioanla car they use at car shows, Ive seen pictures of that car at the Paris motor show. As far as the body kit, the only part that is available to buy is the spoiler, as it is a standard race spoiler. However I suppose that if enough of us were interested in...

Thanks a lot, I fear the bottom two moounting points may have sheared, it may be time for the trusty superglue.

I had exactly the same awkward decision. My brother has had a mk1 172 for over a year now and absolutely loved it. As I didnt want to be a copy-cat I considered a CTR, 206 Gti 180, and even second hand subarus, deltas and evos. After I took I test-drive in a CTR, I like everyone else was...

Hi, Has anyone removed or changed a headlight on one of the new clios. Mine has got a few scratches on and doesnt seem to be sitting quite right, so I want to take it out to get a closer look. It still works perfect but I fear I may have damaged some of its mounts. Thanks. Tony An assemble...
