From reading the Alpine book it appears this is part of the system they have devised to make the engine sound more sporty I am not sure if this is part of the sports exhaust or the standard. It appears to be on the air intake and presumably is where the induction noise derives from.

I know life110 have some uprated pads listed as available soon, but even their delivery date has slipped a couple of times.
Or has anyone managed to find whether the rear pads are actually common with another model? (the front pads seem to be the same as the 197/200 Clio).

Not sure of details but I see the Life110 pads fit both normal and larger A110 and were developed with EBC? Assume other brand would as well.
Looking at the EBC site they seem to list various A110 pads as being in stock. Had you seen this?
May not be correct fitment or material for you but will share anyway! May help others in a fix.

Think it will be getting discs in the upgraded size that may prove a (costly) challenge in future. Seems standard size are becoming available as aftermarket parts.

I remember there being a spare leather key card holder but not an actual spare key, was wondering if I've misplaced it somewhere

No, this is me inspecting them. 15k miles so far including 3 track days and most of it is fun driving. I killed a set of front pads (Life110) in 5000 miles including 1 track day (down to the wear markers - again changing them myself). The rears have probably got 1 track day left in them but I've got 2 coming up.
Thanks Mike for those pointers - didn't occur to me to try EBC (despite knowing that's who Life110 are working with), I'm not normally a fan but any port in a storm and all that. I did see the cup pads a while back but wasn't sure if they were for standard calipers.
I've got the "little" discs which are pretty cheap, and had no issues running out of brakes at a warm Anglesey track day recently despite being on the shorter Coastal circuit and repeated breaking into the hairpin from ~120mph down to 45mph. But I have changed the fluid to RBF600.
