Just a little something.

Hey guys and girls.

Only a little update as havent posted in ages but got given a tow strap and thought as wanting to do a few trackdays Soon I would fit it so,
Opinions and comments please.

Sorry about the crappy iPhone pics and yes i no the car is filthy but couldn't be bothered to clean it in this s**t weather

just looks like somethings stuck in your grill. use it AT a track yeh? but now it just looks silly im afraid to say

 

[Will.]

I've got one upstairs that I'm saving for when I go on track. Won't be on every day. Would look better if it didn't hang out as much.

 

[jenic]

Cut a bit of grill so it fits better and loop it into itself in a neat way, will look tidier then.

 

[Bluebeard]

Looks like you've ran over a packet of crisps and now its stuck.

 

[DaveW_cup]

Would look better with a splitter and the tow strap in the boot awaiting a trackday imo.

Quavers ftw.

 

[guysy]

Looks like a tongue, feed it back in a bit if poss.

 

[jsd14]

Mate is your front plate illegal? ever been stopped at all?

 

[Leeshez]

It looks a bit far out.

 

[Mack182]

it cant be moved back in because bolted straight to the toe eye with a bolt and the stiching on the toe strap doesnt bend so it sits wer it sits :dapprove:
as for the plate its the 3/4 plate that many other clios have but ive never had any trouble getting pulled over

 

[Greeny.]

Love it, the police would rape me for that plate around here though!

 

[Nick172Cup]

People keep on fitting these wrong, they look stupid like that! They dont look too bad when fitted like this....

You make the hole on the mount of the strap bigger and get a bolt with the same thread/size as the original toweye and bolt it straight to the toweye point. Then it sits nicely and doesnt look like somethings hanging off!

 

[leewxm]

gotta say good idea with the reg plate....mite do mine the same. as for the renault diamond...it'd look better painted yellow to go with the cup theme & it would match your tow strap

 

[Fletcher]

Is this Pasty's old 172 Cup?

 

[Mack182]

Yer indeed it's pasty old one and nick that's wot I have done.

 

[Nick172Cup]

They must of changed the strap then as mine looks completely different!

 

[jack_kemp]

The one above is either shorter or he's got some of it behind the bumper.... Or maybe he's mounted it on the back of the tow eye hole? Is that possible? I havent looked yet.....

 

[Mack182]

Yer think they are longer my mate has one on his r32 track car and his is about 30mm shorter than mine.
But jack mine is mounted at the front of the toe eye and bolt straight in. It doesn't hang out or look as bad as it does in the picture dodgy angle/poor photography
