Cleaned Cup

[Gaz_]

Gave it a flick over today

New bullets

Quite happy with these. Refurbed by the Wheel Specialist in Manchester on Tuesday. Bought some new wheel bolts from Demon Tweeks yesterday to compliment them

Nowt special in the mods department, Billstein B14 Coilovers, De-cat, APD matched inlets. Goes well for what it is tbh!

Gaz.

All Cups need tbh! Look spot on out of the box imo :approve:

Well yes ish. I loved the 197, but this is a great motor for what i need at the mo. It feels well more brutal than the 197 ever did. I do miss the refinement of the 197, but meh, be reet

Cheers fellas!

 

[Jamie]

Spotless.

Silver calipers look great.

 

[Kris86]

looks fantastic that mate, loved all the cars you've had. Credit to you that is sir!

 

[Brian172]

[markhinton]

Clean and simple, just as they should be

 

[Guppy]

Lovely job!

 

[st3ve]

Engine bay is immaculate!

What've you done with the fuel rail guard?

 

[Daz.]

looks great matey! Did you paint the calipers with a brush?

 

[Cliotoby]

Wow. Very clean example. Love it.

 

[Paul_LY-182]

looks mint! good job!

 

[Mark R27]

I would happily give up my 197 to have that and some spare cash if I ever needed it.

That looks immaculate to me.

 

[Nashy]

Very nice!!

[Fletcher]

Looks great mate :approve:

 

[Gaz_]

Cheers guys

What've you done with the fuel rail guard?

Lol, its in the shed. I sprayed up the inlets and guard before Steve @ Birchdown fitted the inlets, but the car is due an oil change in the next few weeks so i've left if off (and i dont have a deep 10mm socket lol)

looks great matey! Did you paint the calipers with a brush?

Sprayed my friend. Not a fan of brushed finish, never looks good close up...... it upsets my OCD I sourced a spare set of calipers, cleaned them up properly and did them after Christmas, just hammerite smooth silver. We fitted them a month or so ago. I'm toying with getting my originals powdercoated as its a much better/durable finish. I'll look into it

 

[Emz_197]

Very nice!

Where did you get the bullets from?

 

[Gaz_]

Um..... Renault

 

[hopey-182]

do you mind me asking what shade of silver youre wheels are and what you used on youre calipers thanks.

 

[Gaz_]

Not at all.

Calipers were Hamerite smooth silver (in spary form). The wheels were refurbed by The Wheel Specialist. http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/

Refurbed in their code TWS sport 1. Good match for the the standard finish, i left the centrecaps as they didnt need matching.

 

[JR]

Do you have a link for the wheel bolts mate ? Looks spot on

 

[Gaz_]

No sorry

Went to Tweeks to the alignment done, and while i was there whipped out a bolt and asked if they had any lol. They do loads of sizes. I can get the part no off my invoice if that helps?

 

[Hugo-]

Absolutely awesome mate. How a cup should be.

 

[JR]

Yeh that would be a great help fella. Oh and the price too x

 

[cander08]

[Jimbo_M]

What a mint example of a cup!! Im very jealous mate lol

 

[oliver.james]

Minty mint!

New bullets look great too, mine could do with new ones too!

 

[Gaz_]

Cheers chaps!

Yeah the new bullets help freshen it up, every little helps an all that

 

[Christopher]

Great minds. A freshen up with new bits makes it loads better than adding more crap to it.

 

[oliver.james]

I'm in two minds whether to change to carbon bullets, or replace with new originals as you have done.

You got them new from a Renault dealer I assume? How much are they if you don't mind me asking

Yeah from Renault, iirc around £20 each ish?

Mine were battered and beyond saving tbh, pitted to f**k!
