Brake Ducts

JonC219 · Apr 12, 2015

I'm after some cup racer style brake ducts but refuse to pay the £190 odd quid that KTAX want for their kit

I'm sure CMComposites do just the bumper mouldings but their website doesn't have anything on there

Anyone got any ideas where I can find some or pictures of the CMComposite ones and a rough idea of cost?

JP83 · Apr 12, 2015

eBay. There's some on there that replace the fog lights which are about 60 quid

Or are you after the deflector bit instead?

Jeez those are expensive for what they are!

MarkX · Apr 12, 2015

my set up cost ~£20 and works extremely well.
2x 100mm bass ports off eBay (~£4 each) are a tight tidy push fit and meter of spiral duct for a tenner. Bent two bits of waste stainless for deflector plates.

not pimp but very cheap and functional!

JonC219 · Apr 12, 2015

Yer I looked at those before. Not mad keen on them really.
The plan is to get the cup racer style ones so I can blend them to the bumper. Having a bit of paint done in August so was going to get them filled and painted in at the same time

JonC219 · Apr 12, 2015

MarkX I've got something similar at the moment but just wanted something a bit tidier as it's still a road car

I saw someone had a Bean with cup racer ducts all blended in and painted properly and it looked good

My inner tart likes things looking good!

MarkX · Apr 12, 2015

Having Seen the cup racer ones up close they aren't exactly an oe tidy fit! They are tidy enough for a race car though though lmao

JonC219 · Apr 12, 2015

Haha fair I haven't seen them up close so can't comment!

How were they fitted? If you can remember details?

they were riveted on, looked good but no way good enough for a road car or if really fussy. I've no idea if they were genuine or copies though, but tidy they weren't!

JackJack · Apr 12, 2015

CMC do them but their website doesn't have anything on it

I think riveting is the common thing but I was just going to give them to my painter and let him work his magic. Should end up looking like it came out the factory

JackJack I'll drop them an email see what the score is. Cheers

Keith185 · Apr 14, 2015

Think the ones youre on about were same ones as mine, cup racer based but modified to fit bit better. Not made anymore so not of much use to you Jon

http://www.cliosport.net/threads/cu...pacers-possible-brake-air-ducts.558652/page-6

These are the CM composite ones which are similar

Think K tec sell some now too but they dont look very oem even compared to the proper cup racer ones

JonC219 · Apr 14, 2015

Yer I followed your lead up when I commented on your thread Keith but to no avail unfortunately

Really like the look of yours so was going for something similar

After hearing back from Chris the Ktec kit doesn't seem to badly priced ... £££
But ultimately I want something that looks like it's sposed to be there, not just 'stuck' on
So will more than likely order the CMC kit and fit that
Not a cheap way of doing things but it never is when something is done right so to speak

NorthloopCup · Apr 14, 2015

The CM Composites ones will fit very well mate. He remade them after making them actually fit a 1*2 fog light opening, unlike the original cup racer ones.
They were done with the ethos based on "looks mint from the grandstand". Lol

They aren't from the same seller but look exactly the same

cliosport-carl · Apr 14, 2015

ok brought then lol ive been looking for something to fit better than a painted coke bottle lol

StuOwen86 · Apr 14, 2015

Wanna sell me the other two @cliosport-carl was gonna order some lol but don't need 4 spilt the cost off what they cost you?

StuOwen86 · Apr 14, 2015

Can you just use a longer length of tube and point towards the brakes instead of the deflector plate? I can make a plate if need be just wondering if it's more direct with the tube pointing directly at the brake instead of the plate deflecting it randomly.

JonC219 · Apr 15, 2015

@StuOwen86

On my current set up that's what I've done. Kept my arch liners intact and bent the ducting round so it points to the calliper from the wishbone

How do you think you'll fit them Oli? Blended in and painted?

I'm going to just throw them in for the minute bud. Wait until the front needs a touch up, then get them blended.

Mine need modifying to get around a low boost hose from the manifold. Hence why they aren't in yet :smile:

What ducting did you use is it more rigid than like what is in markX picture? I was thinking like some hard plastic pipe or the foil type stuff. Have too move my cold air feed that goes too my maxigen filter first

Martin. · Apr 15, 2015

Removing the arch liner completely is much easier and free. Plenty of air rushes into the arch towards the brakes that way :smile:

Just means you have to give it a rinse under there every now and again.

StuOwen86 · Apr 15, 2015

I have no arch liners in so it's a start was thinking too have a more direct flow using the ducting.

I have removed the arch liners on mine, but not enough air was getting directly to the calipers / discs / pads.

Plus I'm a parts slag.

BIFCAIDS · Apr 16, 2015

When I do my protect thread I'll post pictures of mine, think mine cost me about £12 and my time lol gonna use some nimbus head shield for deflectors as I've got it spare.

barnesautos · Mar 6, 2016

Everyone loves a photo , so here's my home made set-up I made . And to be fair works quite well in my opinion.

There are two types of CMComposite ones. Cup racer replica ones. I got these ones for £70 IIRC brand new. They fit a 75mm pipe on the back.

Hi mate, the guy I got them from doesn't seem to be around eBay at the moment, but these look exactly the same!

Jekyll · Mar 6, 2016

@MarkX Thanks buddy, I eventually found by searching for something else as "bass ports" didn't seem to show up a lot on the search.

@GrahamS I actually prefer the other ones, the ones that are more square. Still a good looking duct though. (the ones you have)

LeeRS · Mar 6, 2016

What are these ducts on the side of the front bumper? I quite like them there.

Jekyll · Mar 6, 2016

Lee, that's looks w**k! Get yourself together man!
