i tried using super glue to reglue original thumbgrip down and it didnt hold it for that long
Focius ST
ok mite just get some super glue on them could be tonights job
Focius ST
just used a combo of super glues , they arent the greatest fit in the world but they feel alot better then nackered original ones if you have the problem of knackered thumbgrips and dont want to pay for a new wheel i would heavily suggest these and if your going for a carbon them they also come in carbon effect heres a few pics

yer i did think about that but then decided i cba to buy paint to do it. i know they arent the best fit but id rather put the extra £100 that ud pay for a new wheel towards coilovers or exhaust
ditto

Hi Guys,
The thumb grips are still very much a work in progress, hand making GRP inserts to fit exactly each time is somewhat tricky, and hence they are not on general release on the website. We are perfecting them and released some at a reduced cost to CS members only as they are a great improvement on the rubber ones, a black sealer masks any gaps in the fitment if required. Once we have them perfected, we will put them on general release.

Aftermarket item mate - even if you took the OEM part out of a Clio it NEVER goes back in the way it was :dapprove:
Kind-of the whole purpose of someone making parts like these
As Sean says, it's teething problems for a simple solution to big problem. To which of course RENAULT should of sorted out many moons ago! :banghead:

yer the grips feel much better then knackered oe ones
Focius ST
in honest opinion the knackered oe ones feel crap and did depress me about the car now i know the ktec ones arnt perfect but unless u have the time/patience and skill to make fibrelass ones what other options are there? buy another steering that in 6 months could have exact same problem?

D1cky that wheel looks good!
i had thought about getting an aftermarket wheel and relocating the buttons for cc and speed limiter - but quite like the original wheel.
are we able to get pre-release versions of the thumbgrips from ktec?
