    Clio 182 Milltek Exhaust & KAM Racing Mounts

    Clio 182 Milltek Exhaust from my Trophy up for sale. Exhaust RRP is £650 I also paid £65 for the Kam Racing Mounts. Hoping to get as close as possible to £350 for both. Obviously used, but no holes. Just needs a bit of cleaning up. Collection from Bristol or happy to discuss courier options.

    Advice on refurb

    So mine are currently a similar colour yours are now, they were incorrectly done by the previous owner: Although your center caps look better matched.

    Advice on refurb

    Thanks @Mike256 @NickReilly063 - appreciate the guidance. So the suggestion is to have the wheels painted rather powder coated? I also have a set of the Speedline Corse stickers that I was going to put on. Would they put the stickers on before laquer? Thanks!

    Advice on refurb

    Hi folks, Finally getting around to having my Trophy alloys refurbed and painted by a local company that has done some car and bike wheels for me in the past. Has anyone managed to get the right colour like the originals, with similar levels of glossy? Should the alloy match the center cap...

    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...

    top mounts and bearings

    I just wanted to add my experience to this thread... I had a knocking from my nearside top mount, I ordered from the link listed earlier in this thread - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/snr/1927506?tduid=d1a5905e3852a1a49ede24c1e9012f04 Mechanic fitted it with no problem, didn't say that any...

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

    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...

    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,
