    Pretensioner cover - new idea

    Hi, If you're like me and hate the ugly pretensioner covers Recaro provides, this might be of interest to you. I designed a solid cover that just clips on the pretensioner while offering to my taste at least , a better look. I attached the left side STL file (for personal use only) that will...

    Front splitter / group purchase?

    Yes I know but I think they were just lazy and copied and pasted the rear wing description which states the same (true in the case of the rear wing). Also actually true if you want to match the splitter to the colour of the car or paint it to a contrasting colour but who would do that, right?

    Front splitter / group purchase?

    Renault Sport assured me it was original mould and original manufacture. The site lists the part as Made in Belgium which is where the original was made (its marked as such on the original part) . Also description states polyurethane and injection moulding so definitely not fiberglass. I then...

    How many LHD 182/172`s or other Mk2`s with Xenons were produced?

    OK, I stand corrected, just found some South Africa Clio Sport 182 for sale not only 1.6 (which they call it Clio Sport as well...) and confirm Australia imported it as well

    How many LHD 182/172`s or other Mk2`s with Xenons were produced?

    So my guesstimate was way off then. I was really optimistic on the Initiale version... 5.6M should not include MERCOSUR market but includes all Clio Campus built from 2006 to 2012 which none had xenons so my figure may be off by may be say 30% I don't have output per market but may be just...

    How many LHD 182/172`s or other Mk2`s with Xenons were produced?

    I would guess about 1 million+. Clio Sports is only a fraction of course but amongst the 5.6M total MK2 production output I would estimate 20% and may be more were "Initiale "version or whatever it was called in UK which had xenons as standard plus all other versions which had xenon as an...

    Michelin PS3's

    PS2 or PE2? Mine (PE2s) are circa 2008 (yeah, I know...) and they're like new the way they handle or look (no cracking).

    Trophy on Pistonheads - £15,995

    Original should also mean original splitter not a fabia one. It's a detail but.. It's a professional seller and I'm not shoked he tries to sell it as high as he can and this does not mean this price will become the new market value (it may become the new asking price though). Same happened in...

    Rear Trophy Sachs New

    They can raise without limit until someone decides to remanufacture them. I remembered I sold 2 clio V6 side scoops for $400 5 years ago and sold them in 5 minutes, they can now be sold easily over £800!! Granted it's for a car worth 5 times the price of a Trophy but expect some unique trophy...

    Front splitter / group purchase?

    Just to make sure, I’m not lauching a group buy but just gathered information on the RSP part. I won’t even buy one myself until I sort out shipping cost... it’s €27 to ship to UK but €35 within France... ridiculous!

    Front splitter / group purchase?

    I called RS Performance today. They confirmed that the splitter they sell is a remanufactured splitter as per original specs. I've inquired about orders from UK and they say that a dealer can create an account and order for you but due to brexit, RS track record is that an individual has more...

    Front splitter / group purchase?

    Sure! I'll also inquire on shipping cost and whether they can sell VAT free for export to UK. Can't a Renault dealer in UK order from RS Performance for you to be safe from any shipping/ VAT/duty/damage issues? I will inquire on that as well and report back.

    Front splitter / group purchase?

    Not all are ;) If Nelson had not defeated the french fleet at Trafalgar may be Napoleon would have invaded England which was his plan and you would now be french lol (and brexit would then have never occured ;)). Good find on the front splitter. i'm really wondering if this is a repro of the...
