Yep, the register has a wealth of knowledge of both UK cars and rest of the world.

Thanks for the add @optical , I would need to see the full part and how it secures into the light casing, but initial thoughts it's possible. Is it just one common part or are they handed for N/S and O/S? Never realised this was a common problem will have a search later. Sure I've got a spare...

@cat171 try http://v6clio.net/

Yep, that's my old RB:wink: Cracking car when I had it never missed a beat other than usual stuff like new battery, rear shocks, discs & pads etc. Good to see she's still going strong and looking well.

dann2707 I've tried some of the liquid rubber products and they do give a softer rubber feel to the grips but weren't suitable. Needed something that was a little firmer to hold its shape and hard wearing. See the MB Fibreglass website and something like this might be what your looking for ...

If anyone wants a set of thumb grips then drop me a PM. Big thanks to all the people who bought them and hope they give you many years trouble free driving. Phil

OK people the GB gone live :approve: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?750010-RUSSOsport-thumb-grips-GB&p=10353608#post10353608 Get your names down ;)

No, not really. Your wheel would look odd with one OEM grip and one of these. The grips are made in pairs so that they match colour wise so I'd be stuck with a load of odd grips.

Totally agree Darius, that's why we have made contact with the Admin and see how a group buy goes first ;) To be honest my first thought was going eBay but after seeing over 2000 hits for this post started to think the selective market might be here then the traders member looks better value...

For £35 you will get both a left and right grip;) There will be no discount for the group buy as it's mainly to find how well the grips are received and test the water to become a trader. Phil

We will be looking at £35 for a pair of grips posted to mainland UK first class. If people think it's a little high for a couple pieces of plastic just consider each set of grips roughly take 2 hours to make and factor in materials, postage ( £1.95 ) & packing. Not to mention the £££ spent on...

Right then boys and girls, we have now settled on some grips for a finished article:approve: The grip on the left is/was full black pigment with a layer of wax to give it a little shine and the right grip is what I've settled on with slightly less pigment giving a dark grey matte finish. So...

Snappy's not a trader though!!! All his business done private via PM's IIRC

When the resin arrives I'll try a couple of colour trials and post up some results :approve: Is there really that many people with knackered grips to become a trader??

Can alter the colour;) What would you want? A little more dark grey rather than black? The resin I'm using is off white when cured but using a black pigment to colour it so slightly less pigment would give you a dark grey if people are happier.

Your wait is nearly over :approve: We now have a set of good moulds making these, These grip are not bonded on and they fit pretty much perfect. Just waiting for an order of resin now and we can get cracking on knocking a few more sets up. The next problem might be getting these grips out...

Don't worry guys I'm on with it, sure you can wait a couple of weeks ;) The 'master' grips for moulding off are nearly done but wasn't happy with the left grip so flatted back and re-painting and polish ATM. Just a little teaser with the flatted / filled grip ( and no they aren't going to be...

Just hold on a bit guys not got a finished product yet LOL

Positive feedback coming back from the test grips so we are now on with making a set of perfect grips to make a mould ;) If we get something that I'm happy with then a set of grips might be as little as £30, all depends on how much work/time to finish them after moulding.

Dave, thanks for sharing with us. I've had a few different wheels and believe it or not all the grips are not the same!!!! I think Renault realised they had a manufacturing problem and changed the manufacturing process. Some grips have a thick plastic backing under the rubber skin and some are...

No thanks, not at the moment the three set of grips have been sent out awaiting testing.

'If' things go to plan then they will be a lot cheaper than the other aftermarket carbon ones ;)

Thanks guys, I'll be in touch with guysy, bloke and Ross-gt182 to work something out. You lot where quick off the mark;)

What I want is three people who would be willing to test my latest thumb grips. They are made of a dark grey / black polyurethane plastic with some flex and we hope will outlast the rubber items you have at the moment. These are a development prototype as in they are a direct copy of some...

Don't think so cat171, took me best part of 2 years to find a set;) Have got 2 spare fronts boxed 'if' you know of any rears;)

The same spoiler was fitted to the later updated trophy cup cars, Used to have one on my vee but was never 100% sure about the look of it so went back with the ducktail. I couln't find any original fixing brackets and had some made up in ally.

I'm sure it will, seems like it already is with the belts etc booked in;)

Looking good;) Would look nice on my drive to fill the big empty space!!!! Glad your happy with the car and thanks for a quick hassle free sale:)
