Nimbus in the sunshine

[Bux]

Got bored so I thought i'd go and take some pics with my camera as I haven't done in a while. Annoyingly though, my brother used my camera and changed it to not take RAW photos and I didn't notice until I got home So there's only a few pics that I'm relatively happy with.

Bought myself some PERL to try on the rubbers and trims and I have to say, so far i'm impressed

Ace. If I wasn't an ASW, I'd have bought Nimbus too.

Hi

I started the following thread -
Hi

I have a clio 197 and I was wondering if anyone has fitted the 197 cup exhaust to theirs? Reason being I want the chromed tailpipes on my non CUP 197

If you have done this, is it very easy to do? How much was the exhaust?

Cheers,

Matt.

"Daniel" suggested I ask you...
The exhausts are exactly the same.

The chrome tips you talk of can be bought from Halfords et al and just bolted on.

Search for Bux on here. He fitted some to his Nimbus 197.



Can you give me any info on where you got your chrome tips from, how much were they and how easy to fit?

Cheers pal!

Matt

Hi Matt,

These are the ones I bought:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Exhau...arParts_SM&hash=item1c2657e54c#ht_1205wt_1064

They've gone up a little in price since I bought them but they're still a bargain compared to the genuine Renault ones, and don't look like pea shooters.
Pretty easy to fit, they should just push on as the fit is quite tight. You won't need to brackets that come with them.
If you've got any of the circular clips already then you can put some of them on (ive got them on mine). Easiest way to do that is to jack the car and take the rear wheel off as you'll have a lot of access to the exhaust.

Hope that helps!

Hi Tom

Cheers for the info. That's the kinda thing I want! Sure beats paying Renault prices!

What are the circular clips? Sorry but i don't know much about the clio as I've just got it.

Thanks

Matt

They aren't clio related, just general clips, like this:

And thanks for all the comments guys!

Thanks mate! Big help! Once this weather picks up and I can give the motor a good clean I will put up some pics!

I forgot to ask do those tail pipes make your car any louder than the standard exhaust?

 

[Bux]

No problem mate.

Nope, doesn't change how it sounds.
