A610 and Clio V6 calipers are the same units, but maybe they are more 'dressed up' for the Clio, and you have those replacements..

are you 100% sure.........

the clio v6 calipers i've seen road and race, look totally different to spider calipers....... and they are the same as the a610 single piston,

the 610 uses 16" rims same as the spider and clio v6's use 17 or 18" depending on series 1 or 2.....

we've looked at mounting clio v6 calipers on the spider and would have to use 17" rims
these look nothing like spider brakes..... :shock: :?

for a start the clio calipers are 4 pot.......
