Cup racer brake ducts, let me know what you honestly think!

[Christopher.]

Put the brake ducts in, at the moment there is no ducting to cool the brakes. Im a little unsure of them to be honest, want to know what the greater good feel about them? There's nothing that cant be put back to normal if i want.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

They look fine to me. The only 'issue' one could have, is that you've got a brake ducts on a pretty much standard looking car, if you know what I mean.

 

[keechy]

to be honest i prefer these to the actual fogs!! looks good especially with the recaros!!!

 

[SuperJ]

look fine, but couldnt you just have had feeds from the fog surrounds?

 

[Kieran..]

lovely car but the fogs dont suit it

 

[Matt Cup]

Have to agree with the first comment, but they do look pretty good. Have you got any close up shots?

 

[Sanders]

I like it, it's different

I know precisely what you mean Dan.

 

[Munson]

Fogs out. Arch liners out. Free brake cooling. Did it to mine and it made the difference between stopping, and boiling my fluid when out on track.

Have you done this because you've pushed your brakes hard enough to experience their limits without cooling, or are you trying to make it look like a race car?

 

[Christopher.]

Honestly Roy, trying to make it look like a race car (sort of)

Same sort of thing Dan was on about, putting track parts/products on a car that doesn't get used on track !

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

If you use it on track then fine, but if it rarely sees a track then it may be a bit OTT

 

[Christopher.]

It has got 4 pots mind !

^^^ I like them but think the car needs to be slammed and caged to pull it off... if you decide to sell 'em, I'll buy 'em off you

You can get them off MADM4X mate in the group buy section

 

[Dan R]

If thats all thats on it to give it that track look then it looks a bit silly tbh. Just put cold air feeds behind original fog light holes. Looks much better and more discrete IMO.

 

[Kris86]

tbh the clio's standard brakes are pap..i managed to boil my fluid and render the brakes useless with some hard driving.. shows how good drilled brembo setup on the meg..so good!

Why not get some drilled disks all round and some better pads/lines/fluid to go with the ducts? They look good anyway

 

[mr.pink87]

Looks spot on imo. Gives the front end a meaner note. Fogs are useless anyway...

 

[Jewson172]

Looks tidy rather than having two holes if you just took the fogs out and left them.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I'm afraid I'm with Dan on this one,they don't really go,if you know what I mean.

 

[Christopher.]

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess the question is...

If the car was used on track as it is would they be more acceptable or does it need to be striped out with a cage and slammed ?

 

[walkie86]

^^^ I think it looks good as is but would look better slammed and with a cage

 

[TimR26]

They look ok but completely unnecessary.

 

[Christopher.]

True

The problem with doing this your not getting the maximum air possible to hit your brakes (due to the curve of the bumper), that's the reason these stick out on the end to stop the excess air from escaping and forcing the air into the brake duct.

Striped bandit me personally i like it and i'm not just saying this coz i made them, it gives the front end a much meaner look .

 

[Y7 ADW]

Sorry.

I'm out.

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers Damien, they will deffinatly be staying on the car. Im sure they will grow on me

 

[M4D M4X]

Another bonus to keep them on the car is that they actually do something, unlike some stupid things that people put on cars just to make it look good (me being one with flashy coloured hoses lol). Always handy if your ever racing with someone else track of cause as it saves warping your discs as i've done in the past many times over.

I'm sure you'll grow to love them mate .

 

[Fletcher]

I like them Chris

I'll hopefully have mine fitted before the Doningtion track day.

 

[Christopher.]

Good news Fletch. See how they hold up tomorrow

 

[ColinG]

im on the fence with them...they look ok to me...but i think a better stance to compliment the whole "motorsport" theme of them would help, like if they were on christophers RB they would look ace...

 

[Fletcher]

Good news Fletch. See how they hold up tomorrow

Yes mate, looking forward to having a good look at yours fitted.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Not a fan personally. The official ones look better

 

[Christopher.]

Official ones ?

 

[Jonny1*2]

Official ones ?

The ones on the cup racers. The ones you have are off here no?

 

[Christopher.]

Yea, but there made from molds of the cup racer ones. There exactly the same

 

[Mark-172]

They look good mate, your car looks really looked after aswell nice example

 

[Jonny1*2]

Yea, but there made from molds of the cup racer ones. There exactly the same

If they are made by the guy on here mate they aren't. He made a version of them, but they're different. Look up cup racers on google. They're completely different.

 

[TimR26]

Guessing these are the real ones.

 

[Christopher.]

Ah I see

 

[liam172cup]

i quite like these, might invest in some myself as i ruined my last set of discs and fluid, it sucks.
