    Trophy stickered up for Le Mans

    Yes, all the decals came off easily enough - I removed them on a hot day which made the vinyl much more pliable. Just needed a bit of attention with a mesh sponge to remove some small traces of adhesive. Like you say, we had a ferry across on Thursday and back again on Monday - long days...

    Trophy stickered up for Le Mans

    Hello all. Thought you might like to see some pics of the Trophy on its recent trip over the Channel to the Le Mans 24hrs. Since I was in the company of a pair of black BMWs in matching John Player Special colours I thought I'd better doll the old girl up: A bit of liquid inspiration to get...

    Le Mans 2015?

    The Hawaiian Tropic design would look good! After a brief consideration of the Marlboro livery from the early 2000s WRC Evo Lancers I've gone for a full set of Clio Cup race decals in white - hoping they will look good against the red body and grey wheels. I'll be setting out from the London...

    Le Mans 2015?

    Anybody taking their Trophy to Le Mans for the 24hrs this year? I'll be part of a 4-car convoy (no other Trophies though) and camping at Bleu Sud... The Badger

    Painted brake calipers

    I must admit to being a bit ignorant as regards the calipers - the ones on my Trophy were red when I bought it and I had assumed that was a standard thing. The quality of the painting is very good, which is partly why I thought it might be a factory job, and the red goes well with the car in my...

    Best place to buy new front springs?

    Used this link to find out about Adam at Renault Willenhall - as the link says, excellent service, excellent prices.He was massively friendly and helpful, sorted me out a pair at £84 each. He confirmed the current retail price is £103 each, so pretty happy with that result. Can't recommend him...

    Best place to buy new front springs?

    In the market for a pair of new front springs since I have discovered that the right hand one is cracked. I am looking to go for the original spec springs (Renault part number 8200514730) but have seen various threads quoting a variety of different prices from different Renault dealerships...

    Softest damper setting vs hardest: any appreciable difference?

    Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question. Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...

    Hate All You Like ;-)

    Hmmm. To be honest those wheels really aren’t working for me, but if you’re happy with them then fair play to you mate! :) If everybody looked the same, and all that…
