[stevo172-RWD]

can anybody tell me where i can get a clio v6 engine cover and how much would one be?

i have tried my local renault and the wont tell me because i dont have a v6 number plate

sir you car is coming up as a 172 clio

 

[kevin.s]

try to find a right off one that is being broken. they might sell it to you and it will probly be cheaper than renault. failing that, just get a reg no` from a v6 and go in with it.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

its ok i have somebody with a v6 thats going to ring up for me

 

[James.f]

those 4pots looks nice, were abouts did you order them from?

 

[stevo172-RWD]

[Fred@BTM]

V6 engine cover? over £1K

 

[Beef-Mc]

V6 engine cover? over £1K

Pricey!

Any particualr reasoning, or is it just Renault pricing?

 

[Fred@BTM]

anything for a V6 is expensive, its a limited run car

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Pricey!

[stevo172-RWD]

i thought the v6 cover has a clear bit over the engine?

 

[jack_davey]

Is this close to being finished matey? I've been amazed by this project ever since I joined the forum

 

[stevo172-RWD]

i dont know how far it is as its at k-tec atm-having 4pot calipers all round.

 

[Hutchie]

i thought the v6 cover has a clear bit over the engine?

alot of v6 owners got a clear peice of plastic installed in the cover

 

[stevo172-RWD]

ah right.
and rightly so too.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

should have some pictures of the new brakes in a few weeks time.

hi spec 4pots all corners.
larger than standard discs.
not sure what pads.
ss braided hoses.

 

[Fred@BTM]

bias valve too i hope?

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

A friend of mine is producing the top engine covers for the vee in carbon fiber and a hell of alot cheaper than reno if your interested. Not too sure exactly how much for though. If carbon isn't your thing, im sure he'll beable to do a cheaper one in fiberglass which could then be either sprayed or flocked. Im getting a fiberglass one and having it flocked once I have my Trophy inlet fitted.

Cracking car by the way mate!! One of my favorites on here.

 

[kevin.s]

hhhhhhmmmm carbon fibre with a perspex window in it.

His car is the Silver Ph1 Trophy look a like. Might be worth you logging on to v6.net as there's a few decent pictures on there. His user name Is Bill Patchall by the way.
The car gets huge attention when he opens the boot as it really does look superb. Functional too as its very light weight and because its based on a Ph2 vee, the removable hatch is bigger.

cant really see it properly

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Hope this is some help to you

 

[theduck]

Yum

 

[m0rk]

That's a nice piece of CF there... but if that's a lot cheaper than OE - just how bad is that! into four figure I expect

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Yeah, its well over a grand for the OE covers from Renault. The fog lamp surrounds for instance are £320+vat...each! I needed two new ones at the begining of the year and it cost me around £200 for StreamlineCarbon to remake the pair.
