Renault Clio Mk3 197 / 200 - BTT Radiator Support
Renault Clio Mk3 197 / 200 - BTT Radiator SupportRADIATOR SUPPORTS ARE MADE TO ORDER, ALTHOUGH IF YOU JUST WANT A STANDARD BLACK ONE WE MAY HAVE THESE IN STOCK, BUT EXPECT AN AVERAGE LEAD TIME OF AROUND 2-3 WEEKS. INTRODUCING ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE BTT MOTORSPORT PRODUCT, THE 197/200 RADIATOR...
bttmotorsport.co.uk
Just tagging onto the back of this thread, as most people know the 197/200 radiator support is now discontinued (8200803451).
The standard clio one has the support bracket in the wrong place, so current options are:
a.) Buy a standard one, cut off the bracket and weld it in the correct place.
b.) Buy one from BTT (which is basically same as above).
c.) Buy alternative one from Wheeler (or get a genuine clio cup racer one).
I had mine replaced under warranty in 2018 and its rotten through again (advisory on last MOT), so given the options above I've bought a cheap pattern part of fleebay to modify...
My question is, does anyone have the dimensions for where the hole is meant to be, looking at some pictures I've found online I'd say the hole is meant to be closer to the frame than the standard bracket?
Here's a pic of a genuine one found elsewhere

You would be better off buying an aluminium version from Wheeler Motorsport https://www.wheelermotorsport.co.uk/product/clio-3rs-aluminum-radiator-support
Although they don;t seem to have any stock at the moment.
I bought a Cup version of the radiator support from RSport earlier this year but it is the same as the OEM version without the legs that bolt under the car. It Is still made out of steel. I have used a lot of cavity wax to slow down the process of it rusting away.

This seems like the best way forward. Along with trying to fix the undertray on with cable ties.
