Yeah they'd look the nuts mate. I had mine refurbed in shadow chrome which sounds worse than it looks. It meant that inside the spokes were blackened which I think with that wheel would look epic. Decals in blue would finish it off a treat and obviously dropped on coilovers. On your a Cup...
Really good write up mate. The front end refresh is something i will be doing soon too. Car looks epic, I was originally going to buy a Monaco 172 before the cup. Love the colour.
Only my pictures in Clio media. "Few pics of my turbo'd cup"
I'm in the dark ages in regard to Social Media so Instragram etc is a thing of mystical wonder I'm afraid.
I've got RSR's on mine and they are amazing for the money they cost. Really rate them and the grip is phenomenal in the dry.
I've heard good things about Total Control Racing in Tipton too mate which I'll be trying in a month or so.
They setup and race Clio cup cars apparently.
Thanks mate, gonna try and finish them next weekend then I'll strip out the rear seats and carpet the rear. Also gonna get my trimmer to do me a new gear stick gaitor as the standard Renault one is gash. Grey alcantara with blue stitching me thinks.
Well I've trial fitted the drivers seat today. Also went about installing the new blue seat belts I bought. Have destroyed my original belt for the bracket that goes inside the B pillar and will need some more nuts and bolts to finish it off.
I've also re-installed my straight through...
Just a quick question before I order this: is the speedo Sensor the same part on 172 cups as it is on the rest of the range? Only asking as they go in different areas.
Thanks
My thoughts exactly mate. I won't be adding anymore power as I think it is pointless. My efforts will now be towards proper fast road suspension (BC coilovers, full OEM refresh, roll centre kit, rear arb) brakes (4 pot brembos) and a diff. Either M factory or Quaife.
Have you looked at the Supersprint stealth system that Kam Racing sells??
I have it in my car and think it's epic. Have had both centre silencer and straight through pipe fitted and with centre silencer the exhaust sounds great with no drone on the motorway.
I'm going to swap it back to...
Yes mate thanks. Running quite well bar a little misfire when at full throttle around 4 grand. Gonna spend some money on new suspension setup and diff in the next month or so as I can never stop tinkering.
Will definitely come to the next west mids meet if there is one in the pipeline...
Thanks mate. Completely agree about the engine. A lot of it will be seeing the powdercoaters this year as everytime I open the bonnet a little part of me dies
Thanks mate. Secondhand Corbreau Clubsports and retrim were under £900. I've had them sititing in the garage for while whilst figuring out what to do with them.
With all additions to the car I want them to look Iike Factory extras rather than aftermarket as love the OEM+ look.
Funny you should say that as that's exactly the same as the guy said today when I collected them ha ha. I'll PM details if your interested but not that much tbh.
Appreciate the comments mate. Though you wouldn't think it as currently it's covered in s**t after a road trip. Gonna give it some love at the weekend I think.
Seats back from the re-trimmers today:
Colour matched with the original cloth, blue stitching, Renaultsport embossed and Bentley stitching on the cushions. I love them. Club sport spec interior may now begin....
