Hi Ed, please consider any Rush Trophy imagery at your disposal. I would be happy to send you a bunch of hi-res images over

Thanks for the positive feedback gents. It's certainly causing some anxiety at the moment - throw in the cost of living and it's becoming increasingly hard to justify. A decision needs to be made for sure. Yet the car keeps teasing me with little moments that make me smile. It's like having a...

For anyone interested, here is the latest update I've published on my car. Another costly one I'm afraid and some reflection is needed https://www.rushmagazine.co.uk/post/our-cars-renault-clio-182-trophy-report-002

As an owner, life is too short to worry. I'd rather have the adventures in the memory bank. I've never understood the pride in having the lowest mileage car in the owners club or on the forum. In my experience, a super low mileage car is just as likely - if not more - than a car in constant use...

Assuming it was from the Destination Nurburgring trackday I was there (not in my car). The Trophy in question belonged to the owner of Harris Classics. We had a chuckle about his comment that even on the sighting laps he was going flat out and still holding up the GT3's warming up and going...

I have a set of MF Koni adjustables stored that I'd be willing to part with. However they're in need of a refurb, but no doubt cheaper than new at circa £300 each from Kam racing...unless I've got my wires crossed? When I refresh I'll likely go with std Cup dampers

yes, works similarly to black circles, purchase online and book in via a selection of local fitters :)

Asda tyres, £135 each fitted. Black Circles no longer appear to offer them. Fitting next Saturday

Rather ashamed to say I've just done the same. The cost of living is biting and I only need two tyres - at up to £600 for the untested Conti PC6 is too much of a stretch right now

Oh go on then if its still available @photo_ed - you've twisted my arm!

Bit of a thread revival but I've always thought my Trophy's braking to be subpar. It's not so bad for day-to-day driving, but a hard emergency stop just isn't as strong as I'd like. I know the rears basically do nothing, but I've replaced the callipers, alongside new OE discs (rear) and Brembo...

Very much this. The Panda is fun in the same way driving a golf buggy in a silly manner is. A precision machine it is not, but it will make you smile. @photo_ed I believe they are the same platform, just the Abarth weighs more and has much bigger alloys and tyres...more of the same, trading ride...

I bought a fuel hose from euros, made an incision with a Stanley knife and attached it the the ends of the parcel shelf. Works a treat and completely hidden when the boot is shut

Drat, gutted I missed this one! off to eBay I go...

Just ordered a set thanks for the heads up @NickReilly063
