Trophy #461 No clean shots in here detailing freaks. It gets driven, & it gets driven hard. 172k miles & counting. Mud is courtesy of the field at Haynes, which was perfect for handbrake turns ;) Trophy # 433 (now owned by Luke_89) On its holidays in August...

I've finally relented and decided to fit the intemittent wiper stalk. I have a very good guide on how to fit it. However, it does not state exactly how to remove the upper steering wheel cowling/cover. There don't seem to be any screws holding it in. Does anyone know how to remove this? Thanks.

Just bought no 429 , 29k miles. I want to get big service, belts etc etc. I am in north London, any advice very welcome as doing really want to go to main dealer. Also, any top tips re tuning/chipping the car for better / smoother running ? Thanks Neil

Just wondering how the Trophy stacks up against later Clio's? Similar pace, but what's the true quality difference and any handaling differences.

My Trophy has just come back from its service and the radio passcode has appeared when I turned the radio on last night. As the 3rd owner I don't have the code! Anyone know any cheats or had same problem? There might be a Renault telephone number? Thanks for help in advance. :(

Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...

Has anyone contemplated using them? If so, what brand and size? Also would they actually provide better grip than the PE2's in winter? I was looking at UK mean maximum temperatures from October to April, and between at least November to March temperatures should be highly suitable for winter...

Bumper November issue has just been distributed and it is rammed to the brim. The magazine is expanding at an awesome rate so we hope you like our latest offering……… Last issue we concentrated on Renault, this month a Peugeot Special and next issue its Citroen but billed as a Rally Special and...

Those with PS3s fitted - what tyre pressures are you using? I normally run 32 front but they seem a bit squidgy if you chuck the front around. I'm guessing a softer sidewall causes this? Gonna try 35 front later and have a tinker.

Guys, Just been cruising on clio sport (the dark side) and spotted this...... Haven't been on here for ages, so this might of been talked about already ??? http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/...5#ITEM%20IMAGE Chris

what's the best mounts to go for? i'm after gearbox, engine mounts etc - poly probably but what make?

Hi all, I’m currently going through redundancy at work and as a result, I am looking to sell my Trophy to get something cheaper and more practical. As you will see below, the car has never gone short. I am in two minds about selling it and will be genuinely sad to see it go. Car & Service...

Hey guys, went to try a new Megane RS 250 this morning from Hylton Renault Worcester. I tried a FF 250 version not the cup version which I would personally opt for, but was quite impressed by it anyway. It felt very composed and the build quality is indeed leagues ahead of the 182, as most...

My flatmate saw one parked outside the Sheriff Court just after 3pm Thursday. 05 plate he said, no other details I'm afraid!

Trying to track down the cause, hoping someone else can offer a potential cause. For the last year I would say my T has handled slightly off. The positive feel to the steering has gone and I want to try and get this back. So far I have had the following done on the car: - Lower suspension...

Hi guys, it is with deepest regret the trophy has to go, after so long of not wanting to use it for work and finally convincing myself it would be good to keep it, today I got laid off from work. Going by the current climate it could be weeks, even months before I get back into work so the 'T'...

Hello chaps, I was cleaning the car yesterday geting down inbetween the seats and found floating around what seems to be some kind of micro switch, im think it should go below the seat belt buckle. I think the plastic clip that holds it in has broken. Now the inportant bit is should the...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and as yet, haven't even got myself an RS Clio . However, that is hopefully about to change in the next week or so and I'm looking to buy a Trophy. Other than the reading I've done on the net and the usual Clio buyers guides that I've found, I can't seem to locate...

Hello, My Trophy is all booked in for a Service & Cambelt in the next week and my pockets are literally empty. . . Mainly due to the fact that this also comes in the month when the MOT, Insurance and Tax are all due. Ouch! I was just wondering if there was anything else i should be aksing the...

Right I will get straight to the point as I have a list; I have owned my Trophy for now 2 months and when purchased I had timing belts done and an oil and filter change done. This weekend however I was doing a gearbox change and checked the oil now the dipstick read ½ litre low and when I...

Bit of a random one this, but I'm curious to know how many people on here acknowledge other ClioSport owners when they see them on the road. I only rarely see other hot Clios round my way, but when I do I tend to give a friendly flash or a wave - normally I get one back, but not always...

Hey guys! I went along to the Rally Day in Castle Combe on the 18th. Bumped into a fellow Trophy owner and had a quick chat, don't think he was on the forum but told him sign up! Anyway was a great day out seeing loads of track day cars, 60's, 70's classic rally cars along with the Group B...

Right ho, Currently in a bit of a weird place re: the suspension on my Trophy. Front dampers have been refurbed, & the rears are also only 18 months old, so its a great setup, with plenty of life left in it ... However, on track, its not quite low/stiff/adjustable enough, so my plan is/was to...

Hi guys, my Trophy currently has uprated Brembo brakes/pads and full stainless steel exhaust system. I have a few hundred pound to spend on the car and as it is due it's MOT in October I was considering getting remap done at the same time. I have spoken to a guy called Paul whom I believe...

Hi everyone.. does anybody know if http://www.rs192.co.uk get back to you after you have ordered from them? Ordered the cat back exhaust system yesterday, payment has gone through, recieved a receipt of paypal but nothing from the website confirming the order at all!?!? just a bit concerned...

Basically what i was wondering is how many people use their Trophy for what it was primarily designed for?, and im not necessarily talking about track days but also just goin out for a pointless drive or a bit of a blast on your favourite stretch of road. As daft as it sounds i sometimes feel a...

Hello, As Cambelts are the new 'Hot Topic' for Trophy's at the Moment can we maybe Sticky this topic so it's easy to see. Can we start a list below of dealers that people have used and been happy with for getting the work done. Just need dealer name, if the service was good or not, price...
