[Rob R26r]

Nice

 

[Hazza]

Is it me or are the side strips a different color to the actual car??

 

[b3nje]

^^ indeed - bogus paint or dodgey angle?

 

[Hazza]

Nothing about the dodgy angle imo.... coz its just the strip that is different color... texture is different aswell!

 

[FlameR]

yeah the side strips look funny mate. other than that its toight

 

[philmots]

The strips are just not laqured on the Cups for some reason.

 

[b3nje]

that on yours as well phil?

never knew that!

 

[philmots]

Yeah afraid so mate, looks a bit gash tbh... Autoglym Bumper Care does the trick and lasts a month or so.

The bump strips on a cup are dyed plastic.

Paint increases the 0-60 time by a fraction of a tenth.

I thought you were all Clio buffs?

you forgot that the 0.001mm decrease in width of the bumper strip reduces drag, reducing its 0-60 by 0.00034 seconds compared with the full fat

The bump strips on a cup are cheap and nasty.

Y dont they just not lacquer the whole caR? lol

you just quoted the answer to that question! :S

 

[Hazza]

Huh?.... coz day sed that Renault didn't lacquer the bumpstrips on the cup so itll be lighter.

and i sed why didn't Renault not lacquer the other parts aswell, making it even lighter... like doors, bonnet etc etc.

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice

 

[Eckascliovalver]

well i like the side strips tbh goes with the interior plastics, i think if they were the same colour as the car it would look bland imo
