Unfortunately the lens plastic structure has degraded it's not obvious in the photo but you can see a fragmetention of light (looks splintered). The sanding and polishing would only sort out the rough exterior.
Hi, Regarding the headlight units on my RS200 and the degradation of the polycarbonate (upper trailing edge), there is a 'crackle' look on the inside of the lens (see pictures) am I looking at new units or can the polycarbonate be replaced/fixed?
I’m about to fit the new Bridgestone Potenza Sports they’ve received great reviews and critically available in 17inch size. Strictly a summer tyre though as they do need to have some heat in them but not to the extent a Michelin Cup 2 does.
I can recommend Northampton Motorsport on the wheel alignment which I think would be a good start - if you tell them what you experienced they can at least look for potential issue as they do the job. I think I paid £100 for my Clio only a couple of weeks ago and they did a great job. Main...
I've never heard the need to inflate the tyres 0.2 bar above manufacturers stated level. Tracks a different matter given the heat generated. I typically run at 33psi on road but I've run at 30 on the rears and still never experienced the slide you had not at such a slow speed.
That’s not normal and I’d definitely get someone to look at the car. 30mph in my RS200 does not displace the rear end i’d have to be going considerably faster.
No it’s remains stock items. I’ve just had the car serviced and I’d had a good look under the car with the mechanic it’s all looking okay (springs not showing unessaru wear) but I suppose poly bushes will help. I do about 2k miles a year. If you do have it poly bushed I’d be interested what...
Assuming PMS is Pure Motor Sport. Yes I have full Systems with Manifold excellent piece of kit. The mechanic who looks after my car is ex-BTCC and was really impressed with the fabrication and said it was pretty straight forward to fit. Sounds great and you'll notice the performance difference...
Hi, I'm looking to install an aftermarket headunit in my 2010 Clio RS200 Gordini - does anyone know if I can you still change clock settings via the head unit? I have the display without buttons so need to be able to change clock via headunit. Appreciate I'll need a conversion wiring loom of...
I can't help you with all the points you've raised but below are my responses:
4. Glovebox - The fit of the glovebox seems to be off with the right hand side sitting slightly lower than the left so when closed it doesn't sit properly flush to the dashboard. Is this something that can be...
I have the Pure Motorsport exhaust including the manifold on an RS200. It's a great with an obvious torque advantage at about 4000rpm (kick-in the back) and wonderful noise especially when the second camshaft moves into place.
It depends on the options you choose. I have the racing 4-2-1 manifold along with exhaust which I had to specify both the cat and silencer to ensure it was street legal. But your right it cost £1500 as I’d forgotten I’d bought some New springs
I had to replace my exhaust manifold recently. Standard OEM as you probably know is about £1100. I could have picked up a cheap item off eBay but opted for Pure Motorsports stainless steel manifold and also went for the accompanying exhaust system. Anyway £1700 later and it sounds (especially...
