Irecently purchased a Liquid Yellow Clio 182 on 30k from Robin and James atProline Performance in Milton Keynes. Onfirst inspection, all looked good, and it was the only Liquid Yellow 182 thathad the factory sat nav fitted, so I went away pretty happy at £5250. Duringmy commute to work I...

I met Harry Metcalf at an evo track evening last year and he asked me why I had not thought about a newer car, implying that the new models are better. Any way with this thought in mind I went and test drove a Clio 200 on a cup chassis the other day. My thoughts, new car is bigger, much more...

Here is my 2003 Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup for sale, its adverstised over on CS.net but i thought it would be useful to advertise it here too. I have owned the vehicle since August 2010 and enjoyed every minute of it, unfortunately the time to sell has come. I am the third owner and the Clio...

Just curious as it'll be 7 years this year since I bought mine, anyone else owned their's from new?

Just curious really. Heading towards 3 years of ownership and still trying to keep mine as standard as possible, have a bit of a fetish for replacing parts all genuine Renault! Still running original springs front and back, and have had the front dampers refurbed at BG with new Sachs rear...

hi all. new to trophy/182 ownership. iv been in clios for the last 14-15 years or so and loved every minute of it so far. 1 thing i miss tho.....the adjustability of the car mid corner playing with the throttle. iv been told the whiteline arb will go some way to help correct this. whats the...

Hi everyone, Sorry to say my period of Trophy ownership has come to an end, as someone at the more senior end of the age spectrum I decided to get something more fitting to my pipe and slippers image - Saab 9-3 Aero, full power turbo, full leather interior, full service history etc. etc...

Done two trackdays in my ownership (about 500 miles), then another 1 with the previous owner. Wheels, under the dirt, are a polished/chromy type of finish. Tyres are the GG (medium) compound. Bottom two have approx 2-3mm tread, top one (the other one is exactly the same) have about 4-5mm...

Hi all Does anyone know if JMS is operating again following the change of ownership? Got a couple of bits I'd like them to do! Cheers

Well I've been lurking around this forum for a while now so I guess its time to say hello properly. I've owned a string of French hot hatches over the past few years (2 205s, a 306, and a Xsara VTS) and had fancied a Trophy since they first came out but I don't tend to buy until cars are a few...

Hello All, Having been away from Clio Sport ownership for a while, I'm thinking of purchasing a Trophy. Does anyone have any info on this one... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2832783.htm Looks like a pretty good price but I'm wondering if it has been abused a little, going by the picture of...

Unfortunately, the time has come where I can't put this off any longer, it is with great regret that I am offering my Trophy up for sale. I need a 5 door car, as running my 16 month old daughter around in the back is just not practical, and with a long term back injury, I find it painful...

Hi guys just seen this on cs http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthre ... -on-ebay... Its a T being broken, i know the guy on cs has supposedly bought the spoiler and boot lid struts but if anyone wants anything its worth jumping in early. Its a link to an ebay page so i will post the link up...

I know Renault seem to get bad reviews amongst people regarding the reliability but during my ownership I have found the Trophy really reliable. I've owned it 3 years and 4 months and had the following issues... Failed Coolant Termperature Sensor Failed Damper Seal Failed CV Boot Clip Thats...

As per title? I honestly can't see myself selling the little bugger. Took it for a blast on some newly discovered B roads recently and was still absolutley gobsmacked at how bloody good it is. :D I bought a Boxster S six months ago and even though it's a brilliant car, unless you're a...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Hello All! Got the opportunity to clean the new Trophy or Rory as my 3 yr old daughter calls him, now been in my ownership for a week and loving it, completely standard, need some new exhaust brackets (wonky tail pipes) and the sachs rebuilding ASAP, apart from that its mint 1 owner, and been...

I'm thinking of selling my 3rd trophy as i've recently started having to commute to work and have since bought a diesel. As the trophy is just sitting on the drive, i thought it would be best to sell up. 46000 miles 55 plate 100% standard Trophy spec Michelin PE2 tyres Taxed 03/11 MOT 02/11 but...

What is a trophy worth in bits? The car in question is completely standard with engine failure Dampers are fine, one wheel has a kerb mark that I can see and the mileage is 65-70k miles. I'm informed the gearbox is fine and the recaro's are in mint condition, any help is appreciated

Having had a clio mk3 1.2 TCE for a while, then moving on to a Lupo Gti for 18 months, I've now made a return to clio ownership with Trophy (No.248)... Bought it from a guy in Grantham not too far from me, it was his wifes run around and has only covered 22k, already had the dampers refurbished...

after a wash, clay and wax. Engine needs degreasing and tidied up! plans.... strip, harness, 200bhp and some track action!

My rear pads need replacing very soon i've used the search facility and found lots of posts regarding brakes etc. Now i know the brakes at the rear only take about 20%, so i was going to go for either the standard renault OEM pads or the Ferodo DS2500's which i think quite a few people are...

Hi Guys, Unfortunatly it looks like my time with the Trophy is up :-(, since moving I am doing a lot of motorway miles and I just can't bear to be the one to rack them up, so going to have to sell and get something more economical and comfier on long journeys. Im putting it on sale first on...
