It's been a while since updating the thread since June, I have posted a couple of threads in between so I won't bore everyone again too much with the same content.
The main contribution to July was in the first week being the roadtrip to Monaco making it into a holiday taking 2 days each way...
To make the 4 pots work
R26 calipers (Red to match OE)
PMS 4 pot bracket kit
Brake hoses from PMS sold separately
Brake pads, I'm using OE R26 brake pads
Have to use min 16mm spacers to clear the wheels
I bought Mr Pink pins as they're better than OE pad retaining pins
Motul 600 RBF brake...
Meg 250 are a different offset and believe they use bigger discs. It might mean reworking the PMS brackets or designing new to make the different offset work. The Meg boys run 17" wheels on their 250s so it's potentially doable, with a bit of work.
It's a better experience driving abroad, in Europe. Over here we're overpopulated with cars so it's rare to enjoy any kind of long distance drive.
Its certainly an experience I can highly recommend, being able to take in such scenery en route, photographing it along the way.

Aah the 80kmh limit, that came into force the first day of the trip. I didn't know until Matt told me, i did wonder why I was seeing conflicting 80 and 90kmh signs. No worries at all, I stuck around the 90 when I was on those roads heading to my mates as it was all non toll on the first day. I...
It is indeed! It's Prima Racing's old demo car, they used this to develop their parts. Painted carbon bonnet, caged, on bodies, 220bhp. Used on sprints and hillclimbs, Matt took it with him as well as an Odyssey Blue 172 which is now registered in France.
Popped over to Ron's this evening as the Clio was in dire need of some valet attention after my French road trip last week. More on that this week in my Trophy blog thread.
So yeah a random selection of photos of scenery and the Clio en route. I wasn't sure which section to post but thought as it's a road trip, in the Clio I'll put it in the Clio Media thread unless it should go elsewhere.
I had a window of opportunity to take a week off work as it was quiet so I decided to book a hotel down in Cap-D'ail located 2 miles out of Monaco right on the coast. I'd been there for one night 3 years ago as part of a European driving holiday and decided to stay there for 4 nights this time...
There certainly is, there's a chap on the Mk4 Clio 200/220 Facebook group who sells them for around the £6-650 mark.
I do know someone who has one for sale too @-D4N-
