    No! Much less than that... It wasn't worth £6350

    Thanks for the replies and condolences! Have nothing but love and respect for the Trophy, was a brilliant car, the trips to the Nurburgring and driving down to the south of France are memories that will stay with me forever. It's just lame that our relationship ended in this way! As for a...

    Agreed, when it was loaded onto the flatbed I was thinking I should be getting it back... but at the same time I also cleared out all my personal stuff, so I kind of knew there was a chance I wouldn't see it again. The repair cost was calculated at a Renault dealership so the part costs would...

    Aye, happened in the snow, just trying too hard to get too close to home. Was only a mile away as well... should have just parked up. Lesson learned though, don't tackle snowy hills with very worn summer tyres! Hope you and your T (and the 5) are all doing well! For anyone interested in parts...

    Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

    BTB Exhaust & modified cat

    I am not longer looking to sell my exhaust. I have too many concerns about the replacement exhaust I was looking at, and I've also had a chat with BTB who are going to insert an extra silencer into the centre section to reduce the sound levels. Apologies for wasting anyones time. Cheers Oli

    BTB Exhaust & modified cat

    Thanks for your interest fellas, just to make you aware I'm currently waiting to hear about my replacement exhaust and I won't be able to sell the BTB on until I've got that sorted. Just in case anyone was keen to move on this quickly, I may not be able to sort things out in a super short...

    BTB Exhaust & modified cat

    Not at the moment. I'll try and take some over the weekend. The exhuast is exactly as described in the link in my first post, but appreciate you'd want to see what condition mine is in...

    BTB Exhaust & modified cat

    Looking to sell my BTB cat back exhaust (with modified Renault cat). The exhaust is a lovely piece of kit, but just too loud for me. It's been on my Trophy since May last year, I've done about 8k miles with it fitted and it is in excellent condition. I will take some photos of the actual exhaust...

    One owner Trophy's

    Another one owner Trophy here. Daily driver having now covered 65k and no intentions of selling yet, just waiting for a 1M to become more affordable can't see me getting out of my Trophy for anything else...

    Metal above exhaust

    I've had a bit of a mare with this recently. The heatshield first came loose about 2 years ago, so I just undid the nut and used a larger outer diameter M6 (the stud is an M6) washer, and then a few months ago it had come loose again, but due to the corrosion on the nut it had become one with...

    Aftermarket exhausts - 2.5 inch dia cat back pointless?

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder no? I'm sure FM and all the other prospeed owners love their exhausts just like I love mine... it isn't a competition! :lol: The BTB does look and sound gorgeous though, I'm so made up with my purchase, every drive is even more of an event now, I'd even say...

    Aftermarket exhausts - 2.5 inch dia cat back pointless?

    Thanks for comments FM and Pagani, but in the end I decided to go down the BTB route. Had it fitted yesterday, already covered just under 200 miles since and I am a very happy lad indeed! Had the cat modified too, so now 2.5 dia from the end of the manifold to the split for the backboxes...

    Aftermarket exhausts - 2.5 inch dia cat back pointless?

    Thanks for the heads up Dave, and yes Chertsey would be much better for me than missioning up to Daventry, but one of the guys I currently work with used to work for Jo at BTB (when Jo was running a BTCC team) and he's kind of arranged for the two of us to go up and see Jo to get my exhaust...
