I'm now the proud owner of number 62. Great car and a fun drive back from Bournemouth!!! I'll upload some picks when I've cleaned it

It joins its stable mate

Congratulations mate, welcome to Trophy ownership

 

[Dazzler32]

Congrats and welcome to the club!

 

[Rik Perry]

Yes welcome. Hope u like the car.

Going to feel a million miles different to forced induction. It took me some time to love the NA route. They are a good motor for the money - keep with it and you'll understand. Welcome to the madness!!

Cleaned. Sealed. Waxed.....dead.

Dead?! You or the car?! :tongueout:

 

[Evob]

Ha. Me. They're be tears if it was the car.

 

[SharkyUK]

Well mate, the effort has paid off. It looks great

 

[Evob]

Cheers. Need to finish the sides. But lost the will to live. Detailing is a summer sport!

 

[Miller]

Trophy looks good, effort is worth it. Congrats on the buy and welcome.

Weather was nice so decided to take the trophy for a good B road blast. These cars are brilliant. The level of grip is amazing. (If you can't tell I'm happy with my purchase!!)

 

[SharkyUK]

Yep - they're addictive little buggers

How does the Trophy compare to your Evo mate? I've got a Sierra Cosworth and don't have the luxury of owning both a Cossie and a Trophy, so to own one I'll have to sacrifice the other.

Out of the Evo and Trophy, which one would you keep?

The evo is running 407 bhp so the power is savage. But I have to admit that the Clio is more fun. I have been tempted to sell the evo, but still can't bring myself to do it. But (at present) if push came to shove I'd sell the evo. I absolutely love this Clio.

 

[Braddaz1]

That's good to know. Straight line performance is a no brainer - of course the Cossie beats it hands down. But, most people get their kicks out of pushing their cars along the twisties which is why the Trophy is appealing to me. I'll give it some thought before doing something I may regret.

The car is currently with Renault having an oil service. Anyone else sit there like a mad man watching every move they make (praying they don't damage it) or is it just me.....!!....

I do when it's at a main dealer!

Luckily (after going over it with a microscope on the forcourt). All is ok.

I do need some rear exhaust bushes. Where's the best place to get these???

Hello and welcome mate.
