    SJParker's Trophy - Previous Owner of #196, Now I Have #197!

    Thanks! I got the Nearside arch liner from Renault Parts Direct for £85, Offside was second-hand on eBay for £30. One clip is broken that needs fixing, but should be easy enough.

    SJParker's Trophy - Previous Owner of #196, Now I Have #197!

    Another quick update. Purchased a spare steering wheel that I had retrimmed by Royal Steering Wheels. The original was actually in pretty good condition and I'd like to keep that way but I also don't find the external style grips that comfortable when driving: The new wheel was retrimmed...

    SJParker's Trophy - Previous Owner of #196, Now I Have #197!

    Thanks @sj2112 for the comment and for sharing your experience with Rentech. I omitted some details from the post for the sake of brevity that I probably should have included to paint a more complete picture. I already suspected it could be a top-mount issue and the car came with some spares...

    SJParker's Trophy - Previous Owner of #196, Now I Have #197!

    Finally getting around to posting an update since buying the Trophy and this might be a longer one. It’s safe to say, my wallet certainly isn’t thanking me for my nostalgic car purchase... The car had a few issues that needed sorting: Knocking noise coming from the nearside front when going...

    Well spotted - The trader who sold the car actually refurbed the wheels in a slightly darker colour. I'm not entirely sure why, but it is something I'll rectify in the near future!

    SJParker's Trophy - Previous Owner of #196, Now I Have #197!

    Hello Folks, Aug 2012, at 23 years old, is when I first owned a Clio Trophy, specifically number #196: Seven months later, I sold the Trophy on 61,000 miles for £5,250 due to being offered a company car and still being early on in my career, I couldn’t justify keeping both. The car was...

    Trophy CD Rom

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I wondered if anybody still has a digital copy of this CD? I haven't been able to find a link that is still works. Thanks,

    FS: RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy #196, FSH, 61k, Sachs Refurbed, Recaro Seats

    RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy #196 For Sale Sadly, the time has come to sell my Trophy. I've been offered a company car and it's makes too much financial sense to accept and I can't justify keeping the Trophy as well. It's currently just ticked over 61,000 miles and it's probably one of the...
