It is man! Yes. I wish to know where you got them from as all of the pictures and websites I go to look far too small. Yours look just right for the bonnet size.
People have asked me what they are off but I don't know tbh. Just bought them off a international eBay site

Another pic. Not everyone's cup of tea but more function than style tbh

Yes, I've been putting a shopping list together for a while now. Still dreaming, but getting closer to a reality. Feels like forever since I said I was going to turbo it! Mind still hasn't changed at all, I've been trying to figure out for months whether I should pile it all in at once and get it done or just do bits and bobs in the meantime. I've got my belts to do next September and I don't want anyone but ClioTurbo or RSTuning to do it and since I want to turbo it, I'm going to go with the latter and just get it done the same time as the belts. It's an excuse also as the Mrs. isn't keen on it lol!
Damn, I was hoping you knew exactly what they were as I don't want to take a gamble ordering. Could you perhaps find the seller or link for me from your order history @litchy ? Would be much appreciated.

was bought from a private seller. I'll send him a message to see where he got them from. Not sure the conversions are the same value as previously. With the price of 250's and 200t coming down, given the value of your car, you could have 13k in your car. It's better for those who are starting with a cheap 197.....

You don't need vents unless it's been turboed. The stock engine temps are fine. You'll only put the electrics at risk of water damage. If you later turbo it and finding temps too high, then put vents in.
I'm not sure what you mean buddy?
You recommend doing it afterwards Stephen, not before?

Yes I would. You are going for a turbo kit which has been specifically designed for the clios, therefore temps might not be an issue, where as Wilson is running a meg engine where temps do seem to be a problem.
I wouldn't turbo it if I had your car especially if it's a proper limited model, would lose too much money if or when it came to selling it.
Also mate, neither conversion is plug n play. It's taken me 3 years to get it close to being close to being right. This is why most sell them on I recon as they lose patience with the niggles....

Kinda makes sense that a Gordini should have extra ummph. No sense for Renault to use it as a Sport Styling considering it's heritage.
What kind of niggles have you had mate?

How about Lancia Delta Integrale vents?
It will be interesting to see my temperatures when my turbo conversion is done. I'm going for >400bhp.

Having vents pressed into the bonnet is also an option, and would help keep a more stock look http://www.coollouvres.co.uk/gallery.html
