Yep its a vinyl wrap. We use it a lot on the race cars as its quick to replace and protects the paint from chips etc.
Grey and blue winning at the moment!
Naith - no airbrushing, just the 'right' ambient light conditions ;-) You know I jest LOL

I did think matt black roof, bonnet and boot with bright orange everything else.
Or uber racing blue?
Battleship grey could be good, or just totaly, absolutely matt black? Or maybe a development car style zebra pattern?
That Meg is lovely!

Right,
Going to get the Clio wrapped at some point over the coming months as my friendly motorsport graphics place owes me a cheapie.
All ideas on colour/design greatfully recieved. Can be anything really as they can do large format printing.
Camo anyone?

Just a warning about that 16K one on e-bay. Chap didn't have any history and was unwilling to supply the VIN or let me read the ECU. Make of that what you will.
How quickly do you need one? I have a load of 730 bits in/on the way so could put a decent standard engine together for you if needs...
They are indeed! The £'s worth has made a lot of general tuning bits much, much more expensive! Just look at how much CAT have had to increase their prices by.
Not a lot we can do about it - just means an extra month saving for bits!

They tend to be decent enough for most bits - fairly big company as things go!

I'd be interested to hear what you've been offered a cambelt kit with tensioners for - I'd buy one to see if the tensioners are the same as the Renault kit!

I know, I've seen the pics ;-)
Crank driven vacuum pump FTW in that situation I think Fred!
Or we just nick the rear end control from something expensive and get your Vee running Moogs for actuation - still need to provide a pump for the hydraulics though and needing a team of 6 guys to...
Yeah, I'd say it was.
Packaging benefits, improved brake pedal feel, doesn't harm flow through the manifold by having two drillings in the floor of it and if properly designed theres no real increase in pedal effort either - would need to beef up certain bits of the linkage though.
Proper...
F**K that - even using OEM bits that's only 60 quid over the bits. Less than 20 quid an hour. I wouldn't even wake up, let alone get out of bed for that LOL by the time you've covered rent, sundries, power, heat and tea that's what, fiver an hour profit!

ABS and Traction Control are extremely useful. Why do you think we spend £100's of thousands of pounds getting them onto race cars if the regs allow it.
The dynamics of a standard vehicle have changed massively over the past 20 years. What was a fast car in 1989 is merely a warm hatch today...
