Cheers mate,
Well i had the brakes fitted at the end of lastweek and have ran them in since, and i gave them a 'little' test yesterday for the first time, all i can say is they are worth every penny of the money i paid for the lot. I do feel they need a tiny bit of heat into them to get the best out of them but once you do they are awesome! Great pedal feel and i would go as far to say as they are the best brake brake setup i have had on any of my cars and are perfect for the what the car gets used for, i would also be very confident to do some track sessions on these
There should be a few updates coming up over the next month or so fingers crossed
Thanks for looking.

Zetec YO!!!!!
Excellent upgrades there mate, have you got much left to do?
172 Cup
Thanks, yeah ive still got a fair few plans tbh mate, top of the list is to have the wheels refurb'd because they are fairly goosed now but i want to wait until the next few months of crappy weather are over until i do that i think. I also need to do something with my steering wheel because mine is 'melted' and i fancy replacing some bushes/mounts to freshen it up. I might look at the shocks at some point aswell but thats only a might at the minute lol. Theres lots of bits and bobs that i need to do too lol.
Cheers chris!

why not get your wheel refurbed in leather? theres a couple of guys on here doing it.
and pm me if you want a decent cheap place for the wheel refurb, you can have a look at the job they did on mine if you like
Zetec YO!!!!!
Would these be a worthwhile upgrade? I got thinking about doing mine at some point, maybe powerflexed, but am not sure whether the gain outweighs the hassle.
172 Cup
Will do bud, i was going to get them done at SEM because i have seen sh*t loads of his work before and its always been mint but i am open to other suggestions
As regards to the wheel i do want it re-timmed in leather with the stiching etc done but i fancy a renault sabelt cup racer wheel too, probably the most OEM looking wheel for a cup with his having the blue top matching the blue dash bits and being made for renault so i'll see what how i feel in the next few months.
IMO yes it will be worth it mate, my cup has done 43k now on its bushes/mounts so a freshen up should be worth it i reckon, im not sure on powerflex bushes though as it is only a road car at the min so i dont want it too harsh, brand new OE Renault ones should be perfect, but i could change my mind lol.

Got any pictures of the sabelt wheel? i cant remember what they look like.
and the lads who did my wheels did them for £20 each to fix the chips from where dear father dropped them
they did a great job for the price!

Cheers dude, means alot! Fresh Cups are the best

Looks quite nice, do you just go without a horn with that fitted or can I not see a horn button?

cars looking great mate like what your doing with it!
think if you want a horn with them you need a ph1 stalk with the horn button on the end

Your right it is, thats why between now and my next mot I want to get my hands on a ph1 stalk with the horn attached to that
Funny this should get mentionef as i just ordered up my sabelt wheel this morning with a new rear exhaust mount
There should also be a few little bits and peices going on with the car in the near future.

Ah ok thats good to know, i'll be keeping my eyes peeled for one to come up for sale as they are expensive to buy brand new.
Loving the OEM+ great choice for a daily
Cheers man
172 Cup
Cheers dude, you wont regret the BTB i Promise you that!
Nice one, just how they should be, few things that help
New bullets,
Wheel refurb in bright sparkly silver, with the calipers done for good measure also,
And a bag of these with the wheel refurb,
These mods will freshen it up no end
Gaz i have already got the silver caliper paint and was going to order some new bullets actually dude...the gear knob top is a great idea too cheers!...Great minds and all that eh
Thanks for the pointers, if i can get mine nearly as nice as your old cup i will be a very happy man!

Update:
Ok so Santa was good to me and the clio this christmas
One thing that annoyed the f*ck out of me everytime i got in the cup was the state of the steering wheel so i decided to finally do something about it. I did toy with the idea of having the standard item trimmed again but i cant really be without a steering wheel for a week or whatever and having seen the Sabelt Cup Racer wheels i knew i had to have one...
I wanted this wheel as it fits in with my OEM+ theme seen as though it is a renault part (well sort of lol) and it looks great in a mondial blue cup with the blue dash inserts matching the blue top part of the wheel...it kinda looks like its ment to be there from the factory! Which is what its all about for me.
Any how i got it fitted yesterday (by Chris205 off here, big thanks pal) and went out to give the interior a quick once over then get some snaps of it:
As well as looking the part, I had no idea how much it would transform the feel of the car! It really makes it feel alot more connected and raw, its awesome! Cant reccommend one enough tbh.
Finally my rear exhaust mount is sh*gged so i got my self one of those too...OE ofcourse
Comments welcome as always, thanks for looking!
