Hi @NickD good shout, I'm not sure if the wheel had been checked. I swapped the wheel out for one of my track ones earlier today, it still didn't look straight to me unfortunately.

Oh crap did I get that wrong. For some reason my brain really wants near side to be drivers side :relaxed:

Had another look myself yesterday. The parts look their age, but frustratingly no obvious sign of what is wrong! It wouldn't take much of a bend to result in a 3 degree camber I suppose. I'm still trying to figure out what the best course of action is here. Has anyone else had this issue? If...

Had the car at the garage this week. They planned to swap the rear stub axles around to see if the negative camber follows one of the stub axles. Unfortunately it turns out the stub axles are not interchangeable. So they took the OSR sub axle to an engineer firm to check it over, and they...

Here is a close up picture of one from my 2012 Clio 200 cup

I think you are missing a couple of rubber bits. You can see them in my post here -> https://clio197.net/threads/lewiss-clio-200-cup.60559/page-2#post-708869

I may have been a bit hasty when I said that... Took the car for a wheel alignment the other day... And the OSR has mysteriously developed a ~3 degree negative camber. There was no obvious sign of damage visible while it was up on the lift. Everything looks straight (apart from the...

Thanks guys. I was worried that the rust was developing from the inside out, but @MarcB explanation does make sense. Also the picture of the inside doesn't have any rust. I'll get a quote from a smart repair guy :)

I noticed a little bit of rust above my nearside rear wheel arch. I assume its just going to get worse if I leave it. Has anyone had any similar issues? Any advice appreciated :)

Ah good point. I haven't got any of that fancy soft touch rubber.

It's the naked cup :wink:

I suspect the rs gear knob will be like the wheels. I was perfect happy with the original parts, but now I have upgraded them I doubt I'll go back. I hear that the rs gear knob gets really hot/cold sometimes. I might need to get it a beanie

It has been over a year since my last update! At some point towards the end of 2019 I decided that my track wheels were in a better condition than the original cup wheels, so the Team Dynamics 1.2's became the cars daily wheels. I still think the cup wheels look great, but now that I've lived...

Can't say I've heard of this issue before. I checked my 2012 non-garaged Clio and there are no signs of peeling (touch wood)

Looks great

Thanks for the advice folks. I ended up ordering parts for a complete OEM suspension refresh from RPD (dampers, coils, top mounts, anti-rollbar links). It will be interesting to compare the factory fresh stuff to the old components with ~68k miles on the clock. I did have some fun looking into...

I looked at RPD this morning and for some reason didn't see the dampers. Looking again now, I can see all the suspension parts. Happy days! @Beany I did ask my mechanic if he was talking about coilovers, but he was adamant that it was just the dampers. TBH if I were to go non-standard with the...

The front dampers in my 2012 Clio Cup need replacing. My mechanics usual Renault part suppliers are closed, but he said he can get me some Bilstein OE replacements that should be as good as OEM parts. I'm guessing he is referring to these -> https://www.bilstein.com/uk/en/product/bilstein-b1/...

I just read your intro post, I like your red 197. I'll need to keep an eye out for you.

Nice introduction! I enjoyed reading that.
