Re: someph-ing different...........

Ooooh! I've been looking into getting a bike rack for the clio, sick of chucking muddy bikes in the back! Plus they pull on the harnesses lol.

Out of interest did you look into racks for the boot?

Car looks great btw, really like the interior!

exactly the reason i didn't ever chuck bikes in the back....pulls on the harnesses, i used to have one for the rear, and i pulled the straps to tight once which dented the tailgate...doh...got it sorted again but got rid of that terrible rack...

this is spot on i can put the bike and everything in it, all out of the way...

cheers for the kind words

Re: someph-ing different...........

I've got a boot one, but with the spoiler it's pretty unstable, and I was never keen on hooking it onto the lip of the top of the tailgate.

With the rapid fit kit is the idea that you can whip em off pretty easily? i.e. you can just fit the whole roof rack etc just for when you go biking? As that's what I was after tbh.

Re: someph-ing different...........

looks or practicallity mate or both? either way i think it will look retro and new skool cool at the same time!

practically mainly, but comes with looks in my opinion (bauhaus styling - form follows function)

as said this will only be going on for biking, or moving big stuff, like houses...lol

it won't stay on as a fashion mod

Re: someph-ing different...........

Keeping your options open? could paint the car camo green and stick an oil drum on the rack

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Keep me posted

will do

Keeping your options open? could paint the car camo green and stick an oil drum on the rack

not at all mate, more likely that i by an oil burner and stick the rack on that...leaving the clio for weekends and track use...ie a bit of a sillier build then

thats my options...lol

Re: someph-ing different...........

how much did that set you back pepe? pm or txt me if ud prefer. i cant keep using the van for the 50mile return trip to the forest every other weekend and this would solve everything, same as you and rich, cant fit the bike with harness. im worried in a collision its also going to strangle and kill me.

despite covering everything i still scratched the boot and rear bumper when i had the rack for my saxo so will never go to a boot one again.

Re: someph-ing different...........

Fat jesus that looks quite high up there! Had any tree to bike moments?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

not yet....lol

also got these bits today....

for the untrained eye they are cup alternator mounts, these shall sit nicely with my cup alternator that is currently under my desk at work, they should all be going on with my major service at which point i will loose the a/c too.......that should be a pony or two...

Re: someph-ing different...........

First pic ive seen of the wheels that show the design. No too bad! Question is...Is the bike worth more than the car...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Re: someph-ing different...........

lol that bike rack looks immense!
I think I'll stick to chucking mine in the back though

 

[Nafoff]

spec for spec i doubt it...

but what the bike is insured for is deffo more that what some would say the car is worth

Re: someph-ing different...........

in the bike pics?? what happened to ur... Chrome Writing The Renault also the Clio is HANGING OFF???

 

[Curtis!]

Re: someph-ing different...........

I like it, but part of me wants it to sit lower down, so that the THULE aero board at the top is like 2 inches from the roof?

check back through the thread, explained in there chap

yer thats what we were thinking, we may be able to flip the front bar but don't think it will work, its all down to how high the feet sit.

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

just cleaned and painted the cup alternator mounts in the same style as the engine so will all match

had a look in the engine bay and can't figure out how it will all fit though...hope it does

 

[Matteh]

Re: someph-ing different...........

what's different about the cup alternator?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

it doesn't run the a\c

 

[Gray]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Once you remove all the AC parts it shall become clear!

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

i can't wait tbh.....

i have had an idea for the a/c button also

 

[Bluebeard]

Re: someph-ing different...........

Fit a button that enables a personality?
