    Brand new unused Pagid Blue pads

    I have for sale a set of brand new Pagid RS4-2 pads that have never left the box. I'd always wanted to try them as I've only ever heard high praise so I bought some (paid £200) but I'm now going down the Brembo 4 pot route so these are no longer required. Happy to photograph the box and pads...

    How long do you intend to keep your Trophy?

    I've had #455 for nearly two and a half years now. It was my first hot hatch and I fell instantly & deeply in love with the well-matched performance & handling. I always said it's a car I'll have forever, but more recently I've started thinking maybe it's time to move on and try something...

    How much is my Trophy worth?

    I am 100% NOT selling this car. Instead I'm arranging an agreed value with my insurance provider, but I'm after some guidance on what value to go for. Assume the car is standard, bar wiper mod & stainless steel ProSpeed custom exhaust. (It actually has a fair number of mods but they're all...

    Wheel Spacers

    I'm thinking about getting some spacers and was wondering, has anyone else has tried them on a Trophy, and if so, how did you get on? I'm currently running 1.5 degrees of negative camber at the front, standard Sachs (still pinned), Eibach Sportline springs (although I'll hopefully be trying out...

    Best value no-compromise road tyres?

    Which tyres offer the best value & performance in 205/45/16? I only use the T for weekend fun so road noise & wet weather capabilities are of no concern, I just want great performance & value for money. Of course, they have to be road legal too! Suggestions & recommendations most appreciated.

    Insurance - Agreed Value?

    I'll soon be renewing the insurance on the the T and made some initital enquiries about agreeing a value for it should the worst happen. They've requested pictures (front, rear, left, right, interior, engine bay) and I guess they'll come up with a low figure and we'll start the negotiations...

    To decat or not to decat?

    Help me decide. I'm tempted to decat my ProSpeed system then get a decent remap to make the car a little more 'driveable' lower down the rev range. A few decat questions: * Has anyone tried a decat but reverted back to standard? If so, why? * Come MOT-time the cat will have to go back on to...

    Claude's Gripes - December 2011

    There are quite a few driving-related things which annoy me so I thought I'd post one each month until I run out - call it therapy if you like. Maybe everyone will agree with me, more than likely they won't, and maybe this will spark a bit of a debate/controversy. Whatever the outcome post your...

    Insurance declarations

    Rear damper advice (fitting)

    I don't have the aptitude, tools, inclination or time to fit a set of rear Konis myself so... Do I engage the services of my local independent garage where the mechanic was VAG-trained and looked after my VW for 8 years? Or do I take #455 to the nearest RS specialist, which I guess would be...

    #455 at sunrise

    Hopped in the car early on Sunday morning and went for a drive...because I could. 140 miles around West Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire & Gloucestershire guaranteed a smile for the rest of the day! I didn't see a single speed camera the whole journey (and hope none saw me) but I was...

    I'm based in Berkshire and I want to upgrade from 2 to 3 stars so I'm after some guidance on buying a used Trophy. When you bought your used Trophy did you get a professional independent inspection carried out? If so, who did you use & would you rate their service? If not, what did you check...
