Yeah, Cup doesnt come with the cover. Renault charge a small fortune for it and it weighs 600 grammes. Not that Ive weighed mine

Shouldnt worry about it. When they say "Whats a CUP?" youll feel a whole lot better.

LOL, funny but sooooooooo true

I took my engine cover off, mainly because I snapped the bloody oil filler cover off it whilst trying to lift it up .

I then butchered all the torx fasteners with a flat headed screwdriver, slipped and scratched the cover a few times for good measure.

so I slung it to the back of my garage with the rest of the stuff Ive ruined!

Car feels much faster now - lol

dip stick is in a real nasty place too aint it?

actually fitting the cover adds about 5bhp due to heat dissapation.

If it doesnt make it faster, it makes it slower!

My motto anyway.

Simplicate and add lightness.
