Depends what someone is willing to pay. I owes me £750 without the 8 hour round trip collecting it and all the time out in so far lol. As they don’t come up that regularly, it’s hard to know what someone’s willing to spend on one.

As it stands I’ve had the old nail back a whole year now and the “just a daily” looks like this. Inferno Clio 182 FF & Cup Packs Engine: ITG Maxogen air intake APD port matched inlets BTM/Yozzasport cat back exhaust PMS cat derestriction PhilM exhaust mounts /stainless upper brackets...

To continue this thread: This is the results of me cleaning up my Orbisoud and almost ready to fit. Before After much elbow grease, time and effort.

So you may remember me fitting a new AC condenser over lockdown and since then with everything being shut, I was unable to get the system recharged. A good friend of mine (John) is a refrigerants engineer and he recommended I also fitted a fresh drier unit and changed the oil in the system. So...

Haha. Wow that’s some statement as there are a lot of amazing threads, far better than mine. Just imagine how non Trophy this would be by now, so glad I didn’t buy a Trophy in the end.

Seeing as the holes are already present for the PMS style mounts, I’d fit those and their matching brace. That will not only cover the holes in the top of the turret but offer a nice improvement in steering response over oem.

So i threw some time at the Orbisoud this I afternoon. I never took and decent before photos as frankly I was quite embarrassed at the state of it. Lots and lots of ingrained surface rust. Lovely exhaust but very unloved in its life. Spent a good few hours with Optiglanz, Billberry wheel...

For the agro of sourcing one in good nick that's already painted, you're better off buying new and having it colour matched. I seem to remember a brand new bonnet is under £200 from Renault?

Yes done by previous owner. I certainly will, I’ve had a few folk ask about it already. ?

It has a decat welded in at the moment but I’m thinking of having it sleeved and running my OEM cat which already had the derestriction mod done. If I do that I may well have it sleeved so I can just chop and change come MOT time or if it takes my fancy. At the moment I’m very much 50:50 on...

Ah that’s the sports cat. Do you have any videos of it? I’m debating if I go decat or sports cat on mine. Worry if too loud with decat and too quiet with a cat. Also annoying the whole system is a smaller diameter than my BTM anyway. ??‍♂️

They look fantastic. Im only going to paint mine for now till I decide if I’m to keep the exhaust or not. Once I know it’s deffo staying, I’ll do things like that and buy new BMW runners etc. Does yours have a centre silencer too or is it unsilenced?

Strange. Possibly to reduce some lateral movement?

Deffo do that first. ??

Guns are great depending on the fastener but I’ll always go to a bar first. Can always try giving them a little nip tighter to crack the thread before undoing. Its very crude and I don’t recommend it, but if you’re stuck, a long jack handle over a ratchet may help you out with some extra...

Not wishing to teach you to suck eggs, but what tools are you currently using/what methods have you tried so far?

If you’re essex local I’d be happy to help.

Personally wouldn't touch it until it becomes an issue, which it may never do. I removed mine to clear space for brake cooling from the foglight apertures.

Don't worry, if i fit mine and decide i like my BTM more then i'll be flogging this one. Either way its getting polished up with a full overhaul of clamps and brackets.

Look at the amount of damp and moss growing beneath it. That car has not moved for some time, and id suggest its paintwork is the least of its worries. That's a full recommissioning job.

Thanks, appreciate anyone that reads my ramblings of Clio ownership haha.

Cant say fairer than that! I have absolutely no experience of Pro-Speed at all but that outcome speaks volumes for their integrity. Glad you're happy and your Trophy is at full health again :)

That was a very quick go with a soft wheel on a battery drill and some polishing soap. I’ve ordered some Optiglanz to do the job properly.

Haha. Remember it only a council spec 182 ??

Don’t get me wrong, the material quaility is pretty good, you can feel it, but the weldings nothing to get excited about and neither is the finish. Hopefully it will come up well and it sounds as good as they’re supposed to.

So... Brake ducts in and plumbed up with some 2 ply 70mm silicone ducting, I’ve also picked up some Cup Racer deflectors which I may fit, I also have some ideas for making some blades to fit on the calipers however I think for fast road at the moment, just getting extra ventilation in there is...

I believe this was a silenced decat version. The mounts ive already stripped and will restore with some media blast, zinc, then top coat. I believe ive found a V-band clamp for it too but need to ensure this fits correctly first.

Well the Orbisoud has landed. First impressions are a bit "meh" i have to say. Its reasonably nice but the construction is far from the best I've seen, id say my BTM is probably 90% of the Orb quality, and im certainly not sure what all the hype is about at the moment. My Simpson Race Exhaust on...

OEMs cannot be purchased separately, they come PIA to the rear damper assembly. Powerflex do them separately. Certainly replace if they're worn. Also a super simple job to do :)
