    Caliper Stencil

    That was the idea, but I thought that the ones on here may not be the right size? I'll have a look, if not, will have to get some made up.

    Caliper Stencil

    Chaps, Soon to be spraying my calipers, and vaguely remember someone on here using a "Trophy" stencil on theirs a while ago. Now what would be the best way of acquiring say a sticker that I could use as a stencil? I've obviously thought about finding out what font the trophy writing is, and...

    Thoughts on painting calipers??

    I know this is dragging the topic up from the dead...but it's only a quick question. As I am about to do the same (replace disks & pads on)....I was thinking of using your quick technique and just spraying over the top and covering the important bits. But was just wondering if there's any...

    The £8k Trophy Returns

    This is the thing...I haven't seen any go recently for around that price. Even with low mileage. They all seem to be up around the low 6's...with the odd one up at 7 with low mileage. I'm only saying this because even though I love the car to bits...I don't want it to get to a stage (say a...

    Clio Trophy Average MPG!

    Price of Trophy's!

    I wonder what I would get for mine... paid £6700 not long ago..with only 17k on the clock...hardly put anything on that! Tempted to sell to make a quick buck..but then i wouldnt want any other car, as it took me 6 months to decide what to get!

    It's come to that time...

    Was it not you that pulled up a month or two next to me in keighley and said 'thought these were supposed to be rare?" I would love to mate, but I play rugby on a saturday semi-pro,so skipping it is not an option! Another time maybe?

    A Problem With My Bush...

    Thanks lads. Yeh we had a look at the ball joints and they seemed fine. I'll change them and see what difference that makes. One of my mates was touching on the fact I might need to replace the drop-link...but hopefully not! Why are the poly ones worse? do they make a constant noise?

    A Problem With My Bush...

    A couple of people have had a look at my car,as they believe that the drop-link/anti-roll bar? bush has perished on the driver's side. and as a result when the car is driven, there is a loud creaking noise whenever the steering wheel is turned. We've had a feel around, and where the anti-roll...

    Just given that RS Murray a ring... they gave a quote of around £150 for standard service..excluding any parts like plugs etc... that was just for oil change and filters.. Is that a touch high?

    It's come to that time...

    If i'm quite honest, I don't know much about how to maintain a car myself...always having to get my mates and their tools to help me out. Which isn't really a problem, but I want to start getting more involved. (bikes not a problem..but cars..i'm lost) I bought my Trophy around June time with...
