Yep, I think they look very well. Probably can fade a little bit but probably not as much as the more traditional red.

I will be the first to admit that compared to many others I have only driven a few truly great cars. Luckily there were a few DC2's around me in the early/mid 2000's,brilliant brilliant cars. I still don't think there is a much better seat for holding you and comfort than the Recaro SR3. And...

The automotive version of Pixie Dust 😂 That's a lovely looking GP2 Nick,I always thought they just needed some nice Recaro's to really finish them off,considering the image they were trying to put on that particular model.

Very interesting to read about the sellers experience. Overall, it seems CC have a fairly decent service and way of working, but of course its not all 100% perfect, I guess as with most things in life. As you say, as they have expanded so quickly and into so many countries now, being able to...

I totally missed this. I can only imagine the insurance company having heart palpitations when they got the call "Ah,there was just a slight little issue with the old 250 GTO....we just had a little bit of flames...."

Looks a bit like a special Titanic edition underneath. Everything is fixable though, depends if the next owner wants to spend the money. Should be a good car after a bit of work you'd imagine.

Yeah it would be very unfortunate if you got an itchy nose half way through this car auction Nick 😉 It might be a real tough tester of your willpower to not buy.... What are pretty decent DC2's generally selling for now Nick? Would really like a DC2 someday,absolutely brilliant piece of kit.

I dont think you will have too much trouble getting plenty of interest in your car,especially with that sort of mileage and of course being a one owner car. Best of luck with the sale.

Handy looking website that, they seem to do some nice parts for Renaults.

Is that the same as the one on the Clio V6?

That's what life is all about 😎

Appreciate the heads up,looks like theres some really good reading in this edition. Must try and get a copy if I can find somewhere local that has it.

In this market, that has to be one of the best offers of the year. Hopefully it goes to a good home, which I'm sure it will.

It's crazy how much more over a standard Championship White or similar colour,a genuine Y56 Phoenix Yellow car goes for these days.

I hope he has been in the gym while awaiting the car to be finished then 😁 No,I just have the 205,no Trophy unfortunately. The 205 has been away since September 2021 so I've just gotten it back. I intended to just get it repainted but that soon escalated....🙄

Yes I believe the newer Integra is far easier to live with day to day,a lot more accommodating overall. Christ,your friend must have the neck muscles of Lewis Hamilton,that thing will shift with an engine like that 😯

Nice reviews. I never thought of the DC5 as having those over steering tendencies,seems Honda liked to carry that family trait over a little bit at least. A few friends had DC2's and they definitely liked to bring their rear ends around,especially if you were caught out and lifted the...

How did you find living with the DC5 and the S2 Elise? Was it a standardish Elise?

Oh and in the picture the car is actually sitting on a pretty steep hill,even though it doesn't look like it. So the rear looks to be sitting a bit lower than the front,its a bit more equal on level ground,of which there isn't much around me 😉

Thanks Nick,much appreciated with that offer but theres no need for that. I have a few dusty old bottles myself 🙈😂😂 Theres a few detailers here that have pretty good reputations so I'll just quiz them up and see what transpires. It seems anyone you talk to who had one back in the day,soon...

Can I ask why you had to get it redone Sharky? Topaz would have a very good reputation,so I believe anyway from watching some of the YouTube videos from there. Unfortunately I'm not that well connected 🙄😂 I have already spent way,way more than I originally planned,so I'm probably leaning more...

Thanks for that reply Sharky. No unfortunately it's not for a Trophy,just a 205 Gti. I have gotten a figure of around €2k for ceramic coating the car and putting PPF on the front end. I was sort of expecting something in that price range. To be honest a big part of it for me is the hardship...

Just said I'd ask this question on here as I think there might be a few people who have put some PPF on their cars. I have just got my 205 back from being painted and I've been thinking of maybe getting some,the front mostly or all of it PPF'd. Just wondering for those who have put it on their...

Really appreciate that reply. I guess there is always the chance that two apparently, exactly the same specced cars will have slight differences and variables in how they both perform. Maybe one was made on a Friday while the other was thrown together on a dreary Monday after having a good...

Great post as usual photo_ed. Since you have owned both,I've often wondered what are the differences between the Trophy and the 182 Cup? Would it be safe to say that a Cup provides nearly as much driver enjoyment as a Trophy?

Agreed,that red bar/section between the rear lights makes such a nice difference on the C4.

Apart from CC,is there many other places that would be good or better to use? Like TheMarket by Bonhams or similar? Since CC seems to have become the default site now,people selling probably think it's the best option as it probably gets the most traffic from potential buyers...or not maybe?

Agree with you there photo_ed. It might be an opportunity to pick up a really nice,but higher mileage example at a more decent price. Rather than going head to head with buyers who are mostly concerned with the lower mileage stuff.

If this is the way things are going, it might have some potential. But no doubt the road going version will end up a lot different compared to the concept. Thats what usually happens anyway. But no matter what they eventually produce, trying to keep the weight down will have a big influence...

What a cracking car there Nick. I can see the owners logic there...since there would be damn all boot space for the shopping,he would have to do about 20 trips. And surely if you owned a car like that,20 reasons for a drive wouldn't be much of a hardship 😉😁
