Show me your... errrr... holes

[Yarp]

As per the title, I’m going to bin the fog lights on my 182 and put brake ducts in. So please, send me pics of your holes 😉

I really like those. Where did you get them from?

 

[Clio_fool]

Clio cup race car.

As above, on the cup racers. The previous owner fitted them not me.

There was a dealer down south who used to be able to get all the cup racer parts, can't remember their name for the life of me. Everyone used to order the Sabelt wheels from them.

Seen this kicking about Pussbook

First one I have carbon fibre sport light surrounds, crazy lightweight.

Second pic was some ducts I made from 100mm bass ports and standard surrounds.

 

[Chambers_RS]

I cut the fog light mouldings out and just had holes. Never had the brake over heat or fade.

 

[Yarp]

Some really good ones there, the bass ports seem the sensible way to do it. That being said, I like the nothing there at all look. I did something similar on my last dad wagon cos I kept cooking the brakes on the way to work and replicated the middle grille on the sides. Might try the same on this and see if I can bastardise a spare centre grille to cover the holes

 

[Bankrupt_drunk]

Cooking the brakes on the way to work? You've got a much more exciting commute than i do!

400bhp, 2 tonnes of car and a 10 miles on a reasonably quiet road with a roundabout every half mile. Much easier than it sounds 😂😂

I have some 100mm bass ports. It's only for aesthetics, so I have no ducting behind it, just mesh. The most annoying part is they face slightly inwards and not straight and it backs onto the fogs, but for £6 it's a cheap option and I'm sure many have made backing plates and ducting for it to work.

f**king poser👀😂

 

[M.C..]

I used aluminium revotec ducts on the outside and some bass ports in the arch to hold the ducting hose

wished someone would replicate the cup racer ducts out of fibreglass or plastic.

 

[loggyboy]

Regs wont allow me to duct mine, but did 3d print some flexible grills to meet them.

On my trackday car I picked up some cheap ebay ducts with ally ports that fitted nicely in the standard hows with some trimmed rubber cv boot edges to seal them.

 

[frayz]

I’m using a 3D printed replica of the OEM flog lights that have a straight profile so the airflow is direct to the wheel arch. These were done by TrackSpec, I have had to cover the offside one in kevlar sheet to stop it melting from radiated heat when the vehicle is parked up.
I’d like to get a set of these made up in alloy as I think they offer the cleanest looking ducts I’ve seen so far. Obviously a duct with a scoop will take maximum advantage of the air displaced by the frontal area of the car, but seeing as nobody does a quality item yet, I’ll wait.

 

[Jekyll]

@frayz I wonder if this is something @CFAB could do in alloy?

Get them done in abs not pla. I'll be honest that's the first set that I've heard that are melting

Group buy time?

But they don't look like they fit👀

 

[green]

Got mine from eBay. They fit in the original fog surround and come in different lengths. Obviously mine is a Ph1 but they also do ph2 ones. They also come with the ducting and fixings.

 

[frayz]

Which bit?

 

[Krarl]

Which bit?

The bit around the edge where it doesn't fit😂

You mean the actual OEM surround? 😂
That’s Renault for you mate, call Dieppe and ask them. 😅

Nah the gap around the side of the foglight surround😂

 

[frayz]

Same gap as what’s there on a foglight. They measure the same. Just not as obvious with the lamps in.

True never thought of it that way😂

 

[Pistachio]

Wouldn't it look better if the 3D part was wider than the fog light cut out? Then it would look like a smooth entrance (giggidy) from the front and the 3D part would mount the hole from the rear

 

[CFAB]

if I was to produce some I’d have them fill the oem fog surround abit better, I do like the fixing points.
I don’t think it would be difficult to produce, the fixing point I’d have to weld on as I doubt I could engineer them with them on as it would be billet then and very expensive.

Il be over with Frayz as we are sorting out another trick but of kit in the new year.

All of the sexualness lol.

 

[frayz]

If I could get a better set made up that fit even better I’d be delighted. These were off the peg for the 197/200. As I know the fogs on those were a carry over part from the mk2 Clio, I decided to take a punt. Room for improvement, yes, but certainly some of the better looking variants I’ve seen so far.

Trying to say our cars look s**t now?

Ill send @Louis round😂

Yeah and... 😂😂😂

 

[loggyboy]

You could combine the hard ducts with some flexible surrounds to neaten them. Grills are a benefit also to stop stones etc being aimed towards brake lines.

Where did you get those from? @loggyboy
