Damn you beat me to it Ian, but glad you have, at least I have somebody to ask now lol. It really does look good, would be even better with twin exhausts.
Mine will have to wait until my yellow car is finished and then I can get back to the track and sprint car...

Track and Driver mag by the way is here http://www.trackdriver.com/
used to be free but need a subscription it seems now...

 

now that is one seriously good looking motor!!

superb, rear diffuser looks like it was fitted a standard!

 

i really like that also i think i might follow would this work for a saloon?

where did you get the rear difuser from and how much?

 

You cant see it here but this I think is the same year..... however you dont want the bumper as well

There was this one as well but its not the same, tailpipes are built in. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-C...7-CUP-F1-/161012826469?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item257d1cc165

 

That does look good I like it alot

 

Well done! Look so much better. I was thinking of doing a diffuser ages ago but never had the balls.

 

Looks good nice wheels too, what springs u lowered it with?

 

its got gaz coilovers, fitted 500lbs front 400lbs on the back.

 

Looks very good. Would do this myself if they weren't so expensive to buy.

 

perhaps someone will fibreglass mould and reproduce them, even better with just one exhaust exit...

 

Already one step ahead, I sent it off to get quotes last week. Looking at about £150 for one though, still cheaper than going to Renault but second hand ones are cheaper. Got to try and find a fiberglass company who will do the mould for free first.

 

That looks excellent! Well done.
Duplex exhaust to finish it off. Looks good lowered.

 

Have you considered just blanking off the second exit? I'd sooner that then the expense of a duplex system. that or just stick a coke can in it to fool people into thinking you have two exhausts.

 

Out of intrest how is it going? Do you notice the extra downforce?

there wont be any extra down force, its for looks only.

 

renault spent a bit of time in the wind tunnel with the clio 197/200, I would be suprised if it did nothing at all.

The BMW e92 brochure says this
"as part of the M sport pack 'the car features a rear diffuser to increase downforce pressure on the rear axle'"

yet the clio 197/200 diffuser seems much more purposeful than the BMW M-sport rear bumper?

I will likely get a mold done with modifications so there is no left hand exhaust (smoothed over) as well as a few other bits like extending the undertray to go under the wheel well on a saloon to pick up fixing points and bond to the rear of the inside of the rear bumper.

 

It creates 15kgs worth according to Renault

 

But can you feel any difference?

Rusty

 

I will get some pics of mine. I fitted this one to my mk2. It was a compleatl nightmare. Lots of messing about with trimming the bumper and body kit,'. But it's on now, just need to finish off the filling and painting. If I knew how hard it was going to be to do, I wouldn't have bothered...but it look fooking amazing!

 

What did you need to trim? All I did was trim off the back
Plastic from the mg bumper and the clio bit sat neatly behind one bolt ether side and done. But I've got a hatch and am I right in saying yours is a saloon? Can you post pics as I'm going to be fitting one to my saloon.

 

am I right in thinking the 197 diffuser is what Ian has, one where the holes for exhaust could be smoothed over and they are grey in colour, whereas the 200 diffuser is gloss black and has the exhaust parts integral which cannot be smoothed over or removed as they are part of the diffuser? - more ideal for a twin exit setup whereas the 197 is better for single exit exhaust?

 

I've got the 197 one, but I sprayed mine gloss black to make it look like the 200, I was going to go for the 200 one but they're the same in terms of aerodynamics but the 197 has bigger holes for exhaust and was alot cheaper!

 

I haven't taken it round a track yet so not sure, also hard to to gauge as I've changed the suspension, and added wider wheels and different tyres and removed more weight

 

Spent about 30-35 hours on it I recon. Most of the time was trial fitting and head scratching. Had to mod my back box and refit it higher. Figure out how to get the profile of the diffuser to fit the profile of the bumper (both compleatly different) Bumper had to be trimmed out upto the number plate (not just the black bit) re profile the body kit.

Cut a very long story short its on. I just need now to re aline the bumper sides and some filling and painting. It looks like a oe fit which was the most important thing for me. But never again!! Lol

I will get some better pics when it's clean.

 

The 197 appears to be a better fit.

 

Definetly easier
