Adam's 197 Clio

[Adam_C]

So today I took the car for 2 new tyres, the garage couldn't track it as they could not get it on there ramp so going to take it somewhere else.

Took the front bumper off again to try and sort the other headlight out what is not working correctly and cant seem to fix it so I think I am going to have to buy a drivers side headlight if anyone knows how much they are

After some help here, i need a new drivers side headlight, and as i have xeon headlights with cornering lamp i want to make sure i am ordering the right headlamp.

Is this the correct one? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/R...4f775c5291c9a76d9c659fda738940e9ecef7b&000176

it looks the same although on the fitment it says H1 bulbs and mine are D2S bulbs

Car looks lovely! Wish I'd bought mine with the aero kit already fitted, costs a bomb to buy from Renault.

Give the car a clean over the weekend.

Sorry for the bad picture quality!

Also, i have managed to fix the Passenger Side headlight by putting a new bulb in!

Drivers side headlight i think its the igniter that is not working as i have swapped both Ballasts round and both work, can get a secondhand igniter for £40 off a ALS Performance so i think i am going to give that a go.

I quite like that bonnet vent is your filter boxed in underneath it? and what's vehicle is it from?

Yes it the air filter is over that way, it does a really good job of keeping the engine bay cool IMO.

i am not sure what car it is from as it was already fitted when i got the car, i will have a look to see where you can get them from and keep you updated

 

[Matty m 197]

Awesome!! im sure you'll see gains top end due to a better direct air flow

 

[VolumeX]

Yes do tell.. some more pictures of that vent plz Adam

 

[Adam_C]

Ill try have a look around later to see where you can get one from.

I am hoping to get the car on a RR this year, but with it being so close to Christmas it might have to wait.

Will get some more pictures of the underneath at some point this week.

Sweet.. love to see how they made it work, very guys have vents but that engine bay gets very very hot so it can only be a good thing I'm sure. Sometimes I wonder why Renault didn't push that element?

You can get the vents on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/Evo-...0068&clkid=8856740023794298163&_qi=RTM2063723

I think @Stubonez has one of these on his Clio.

That looks really nice Adam, the spoiler and skirt suit the UR cars really well.
