I sold my Trophy many moons ago and can't get it out of my mind. The GR Yaris is in my mind but I can't see myself stretching to £30k for a Yaris. Had a Cup 200 that I let go last year and the hot hatch itch has hit me hard again. I'm a sad man that hits 50 this year and is looking for another...

Where are you located?

Have you any more photos? Or have you sold it.

Car sold. It was a sad day but the Trophy had to go. Got a 123d so as we can throw a Vizsla in the back. Thanks for everyones help over the last 2 years. Will keep checking you out and hopefully one day will buy another. Cheers Richard

Just wanted to add as a few people are asking, that we live in Harpenden (near St Albans), just north of London on the M1. We also pop up to Sheffield to see my family so can arrange appointments then. Thanks.

Renault Clio Renaultsport 182 Trophy No. 71 of 500 48,600miles Bought in Nov 2009, selling because we need a bigger car for a dog (good lady wants one for her bday in March!). Won’t need any further money spending on it until tax at the start of July and then service/MOT in November...

Thanks for all the feedback, going to hunt around for some PS3's at £102 mark. It seems that putting them on the backs and placing my others on the front seems the best way forward. Got Toyo's on all over at the moment, not my choice but the car came with them!

Need some new fronts on my Trophy, got Toyo's on back. Any deals or reccos out there? Just been reading a few tyre threads but all seem out of date. What is the best Michelin at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can anyone recommend a RS service garage in Cornwall? Pref near St Albans. Small independent is fine. Thanks

37 and use the car on the weekends as I live close to London and commute in on the train :( The Trophy does just what I need in terms of a nice weekend drive, the supermarket run, dashes to Cornwall and the Lakes for some outdoor mountain biking & walking. Had a recent Golf Gti (souless) and...

Thanks for that, I have managed to get 2 bikes in but the problem is that I have to take both rear wheels off which is a pain once we get where we need to be. Will keep experimenting and see what can be done. The parcel shelf comes in handy at separating the two frames from scratching. :D

Anyone out there fitted a bike rack to the back of the Trophy, have heard the spoiler can cause a few problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, need to fit 2 mountain bikes on the car. Roof rack is another option. Good lady suggesting a new car! HELP :roll:

Can anyone recommend a good cleaning product for the Suede Recaros? Good lady spilt some liquid on it, might just be water but there is a circular stain that I am keen to remove! Cheers :(

Just noticed my driver seat has suddenly got a loud squeak. Apparently its near my left butt cheek. Anyone else had a similar problem and if so how the hell do you fix it! Not a good week as I got a chip on the windscreen as well! Thanks :D

thanks both, going to dig through the paperwork now I am home. Cannot find the bleedin service book! :)
