Mk2 Cup Racer Front Light Blanks.

[Nick172Cup]

Do you know if you can get them? Spoke to my friend at Renault and he didnt know. Think they would look really good especially with the air intake on one fo them? Maybe Icarus could help with this?

Cheers
Nick

yozza sell carbon fibre ones but they are about £200

 

[Nick172Cup]

Do you mean the brake ducts that replace the fog lights? I mean actually replacing the front lights. They look like this....

Cool cheers!

You used to be able to get them as a RenaultSport part - however, they are no longer available. SO... we made a set of moulds from the set that we had in stock.

These are really strong, so you would be able to duct from them if needs be.

Go to halfords and buy a fibreglass kit, put cling-film over your standard lights and attach some brackets with fibreglass and you've got covers for say 15quid?

 

[olly_mango]

ive got a set of the renault sport ones, ready for the track this year, ebay is wonderful sometimes, they were about 40 quid!

Would be good for a track car. I'd be too lazy to swap them out for road use.

Also just noticed the pics of the 197 at Brands. Brings back some fun memories of ruining my front tyres. lol

 

[Tom@JMS]

what are you up too nick lol do tell?

 

[y0z2a]

Probably running a duct to his airbox... like they were intended for.

[Nick172Cup]

Indeed plus they look Uber Cool! How easy is it to make a entry for a cold air feed?

 

[scott1205]

way not just drill a hole in it the size of the caf

or you wanting the square one like the racers

 

[Nick172Cup]

Surely if you drilled a hole, it could crack the carbon fibre, plus a 100mm+ caf is a fairly big hole! The square ones like the Cup racers do look better, would want to have them like that.

 

[mini-valver]

Ive put a duct in the standard light but its not the best design TBH as it looks abit downs syndrome. It works though

 

[Nick172Cup]

It works but i'm not feeling doing that to a set of lights. Plus the look of carbon fibre light covers would look awesome

 

[mini-valver]

Yeah definately but I use it daily so CBA swapping lights all the time. This works as a light too....

 

[Tom@JMS]

can see the thought process about the caf in the light but I honestly think it looks ridiculous. Nick me old mucker you use your car every day so how are going to implement the cover?

 

[Inferno]

Work in progress...

Best place for it as far as I'm concerned. Right pain in the arse to get looking any good though.

 

[Tom@JMS]

nice idea! ^^

Sure iv seen your pics of this before unless it was someone else but got to say thats 1st class. Has to be the best CAF set up on the whole forum

No mate, its thick enough to have a hole in it - its stronger than the plastic.

Cheers man! Definately works anyway, lol

 

[Jay Payne]

foglight holes should only be used for brake cooling imo.

Inferno, loving your work mate

 

[Inferno]

Cheers. Unfortunately it's been on-going for way too long. The custom metal caf I got made up for it looks awful so another solution is needed. I'm currently playing with fibreglass.

 

[scott1205]

you got any pics of it with the metal in

 

[Inferno]

Wire mesh trying to make something to mould from (didn't work). Using cardboard covered in packaging tape now.

The pig ugly 1st metal attempt!
