Ive also cut in a proper cold air feed duct to the air filted just next to the tow hook, tempory until I do a...

My front bumper is completley gutted removed anything not needed, you will need to make a small bracket up tho so the middle of the bumper doesn't sag but that can be done with a bit a plate and a bolt and nut bolted on the crash bar
Just read the whole thread, love it mate amazing attention to detail on this little weapon of a track car, will come for a nosey if we are ever on the same trackday

Evening all
Wondered if anyone could be of help?
Just picked up my new car and need to know where I can get the Renault sport decals pictured, mine have shrunk and started to peel over the years from being baked in the sun.
Any help appreciated
Dont quote me on this but i dont think they have the cars on the shelf as readily as they say.
I think they wait til one comes in and then send the parts out, in the mean time just fobbing off the customer with false promise's.
I had the identical treatment mate, with my car off the road for 5...
Personally i wouldnt bother, unless its a 200t, megane 226 or megane 250 engine.
A few choice mods on the 182 and you could have same power if not more from your 182
Well i have had enough of the poorly resprayed satin black wheels, managed to get these finished off today.
Old
kia something grey :)
Also added the fabia splitter too which makes a big difference for something so small.
Enough of the car p**n
we got mine on the ramp first as we discovered the mk2 needed a new top mount, which northampton motorsport ordered there and then and fitted (top blokes)
The camber shims i had discovered installed on the car the other night were negative 3 degrees camber slightly more...
Update 6

I phoned up northampton motorsport on tuesday and got myself and my mates mk2 golf 20vt booked in for setup this saturday.
First things first this morning i came out...
I wouldnt hold out much hope mate, renparts sent me 2 broken driveshafts ( one someone has smashed the splines on the spkndle where the hubnut goes with a hammer and a leaking boot the other had 2 split cv boots ) and the third one they sent me was way too big and not the same model.
5 weeks in...
i know mate, im glad i found it doing the brake overhaul as it wouldnt of lasted this years trackdays
i believe the car was looked after with a few choice mods and then passed to a plonka who abused it at some point.
i havent mentioned it in the thread but i did gearbox oil and engine oil and...
No not the wolfsburg kit that is alot smaller
more custom made job from a plastics company, that i cant remeber the name from.
I went to italy with the wife so i did my old mk5 in old skool graphics too.

Finally the car is almost back to how a clio cup should be.
The tyres are finally on. ad08r's

While my mate did the lines, i split the stub axle down so that when the new one arrives later in the week it would be free and easy to take...
Update time
HIT OR MISS
While the weather was shite and im having withdrawals from my mk1 :,( i equipped myself with a £11 heat gun and some milk for much needed tea.
