Not done too much more but have removed all the faded plastic grilles and fitted some black mesh grill,i think it looks a bit better and actually protect the radiator from stonechip much better,I have also done it to get a bit more unrestricted air to the V6 airbox:
I have also decided to try and make use of the right hand side grill as it does absolutely nothing now that the airbox is not standard so I put it to use for cooling the inlet manifold lol (not finished yet):
I have also fitted a Clio 182 dampened pulley,quite a bit smaller than the original one:
weight saving is 1,3kg:
I got a new bolt just in case and done the additional 100 degrees of torque using tipex,the new bolt washer is thinner for some reason but they are the same length.
I did buy the proper plate to cover the smaller size but for some reason it doesnt have enough clearence and the engine wont even rotate by hand with the pulley on,I made a plate from 2mm aluminium just to help avoid any debris for now:
I have now a nice collection of auxilliary belts trying to find the correct lenght one,if anyone needs one for use with the ktec ac removal kit the correct one is 6PK820.
The pulley improves the response greatly especially when accelerating from standstill,very happy with it,altough I have caught the cambelt moments before disintegrating itself so I have now ordered Schrick 288 cams to go with the new belt and wont be driving it anymore until that job is done.
