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...
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?
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...
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
The figures come directly from the Alpine factory in Dieppe
here is what I have
Clio sport Ph1: 14022 (excluding limited version)
Ph1 limited version: 522 (including 1 pre-production)
Ph2: 20776 (excluding 172 Cup)
172 Cup: 3576
182: 11973 (excluding Cup and Trophy)
182 Cup: 1852
182 Trophy...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!
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...
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.
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...
May not need it. Dialogys (official renault parts catalog/service manuals) lists same window part numbers for a 182/Trophy (CB22) or for a 172 Cup (CB1N SPL)
Although plates may be sized differently, soldered slightly higher, in the end, after calculation, the values that count are the same as in my very very first drawing except for the upper hole being 1mm apart. This is not insignificant because it gives 1° of extra camber on your set. Let me redo...
Hi Yannick, I actually not measured those values directly as it would be next to impossible to fall right unless without proper tools. Instead I deducted from easier to take measurements I took with proper caliper and ruler as below. I would suggest you ask for same with optimiz (but don't give...
dablk, I was about to ask the same.
Yannick, not that I disagree or am suggesting that you have not already checked everything but 2 measurements are missing in your drawing (spring holder to bolt axis and both bolt axis to strut axis) as strut support on cup/non cup hub may fall on different...
Found this on ebay
splitter seems original, has taken some beating but not too bad and repairable. Sell the bumper, you end up with an original splitter for free or a fraction of its cost (check with seller it will remain on the bumper...)...
Yes this the seat position sensor which use is to detect how close you are from the steering wheel and trigger either the large volume airbag or the smaller one if you're (very) close to the wheel. Not installed, open in your case will always trigger the larger airbag which is only a problem if...
The alternator itself is easy to replace but needs accessory belt to be loosened and this is where it gets hard if you don't have the proper tool. Be careful with aftermarket as there are 2 part numbers from Valeo, one has the connectors in the right places, the other with a 180° offset (and...
You don't need any update, this is v171 and I do mine on v103 lol.
It can disable airbag lights but not seatbelt warning as far as I know. For seat belt warning light disable just unscrew the 2 srews that hold the seat belt latch cover and slightly pull the 2 contact points apart so that they...
You realize originals are not locking type either, they're just flanged nuts with a really high torque requirement, no way they'll get loose. The bolts are splined also and there's some interference fit in the struts, that's how all this makes for a secure assembly. Unless you explain this to...
I do exactly the same, jack it from there and put axle stands there but.... Renault does warn against it...
It may just be for safety purposes though when using a 2 post or 4 post lift.
Nothing seat in the spring seat. Last spring coils are wraped in clear tubing and seat directly onto the seat, nothing more is required. Only non sport clios have them.
