God, the last decade has taken its toll on us both lol

Happy to help with the expenses run through - i've kept a very detailed log of expenditure on this bundle of joy..

I'm in - I think this works out cheaper than a refurb, so I'll buy a pair.

aye Jezza - wonder what he's up to now lol

Good luck and I hope you secure a good one. They don't come up all that often but are like buses - nothing for a while, then 4 or 5 listed at once. Compared to a Mk5 Golf, they'll feel a little rawer, lighter, sprightly and twitchy but a whole load more fun to drive. The internals are dating a...

Is this genuine?

I don't think even Reno kept this information - I seem to remember a member on here having a direct chat to the then Marketing Director of Reno (who influenced the decision to send 500 to the UK) who confirmed they'd not kept a database of what Trophy number matched which chassis.

no - the rears are non serviceable

Mark fish does Koni's that are rated for the Trophy - been running them since '10 and have proved faultless, although theyr'e about due for replacement.

Not seen them before - so can't help, but if these are on the front then the springs and dampers are certainly not Trophy spec.

As mentioned, it won't be from the struts - recently i replaced my rear centre brake light, which requires the removal of the rear spoiler. looking at your pictures I'd be guessing that either someone has tried to lift the spoiler upwards from the car (as there's a screw not far from that crack)...

there was a couple back in the day that had their accessories painted - one was garish silver everywhere and the other was dark carbon effects, which i thought this may be the one. Think the plate began with an ME but it's over 10 yrs ago and i wouldn't lay money on my memory being that good...

What's everyone running now a days? I've been on Brembo Max front disks since '09 and looking into the near future will be needing some more - but i hear that Brembo are discontinuing them, although have launched Brembo Xtra range which seem identical but are drilled instead of grooved. Any...

You bought the infamous black trim trophy... Any plans to put the trim back to oem?

Not desperate as it's still drivable, but would prefer to correct offset as it'd be just one wheel as opposed to a full set.

As I am in need of a new turini, due to a particularly aggressive pot hole, akin to a swimming pool, I will be hunting down one. I'm told by contact at Speedline UK that Renault hold the license for our spec of the wheel - ET45 and centre bore specific. So even for a large order (where they...

Do you take orders? lol

Rear hatch struts can be had for sub £60 from SGS Engineering Solution, they're a perfect fit but not OEM and I actually think they're a better item.

Looks fresh out of the box and is mine's brethren, so good luck with the sale.

I thought we were talking about ABS sensors lol.... yeah the fronts are specific to the trophy

Very nice n' tidy car, good luck with the sale.

The pursuit of Less Weight : More Power

Should see an improvement compared to OEM Dynamique dampers, although make sure the rate of the springs is matched with the dampers.

I originally posted some of this in my trophy owners section, but thought it may be a good general Trophy cost of ownership discussion for newby's and long termers alike. This information has been compiled since I bought the car, way back in 2005. It's important to note that I had poly mounts...

It's a Recaro leather - faux leather but listed as leather and specific colour to Recaro. Capital are the UK recaro repair centre and it's not too pricey to get it completely repaired. Think i've been quoted around £250 for a new complete refurb of my drivers seat base.

I got a Duracel one - no problems so far after 12 months

Never just replace one spring. Ok to do just fronts or just rears but do both sides if doing one. It's dangerous for stability under braking and cornering to not have matched springs on each side.

You should be able to still pick them up from eruo car part, gsf, andrew page etc. Mine was about £85 iirc

Just gone with Greenlight and they've agreed a value with me. Not used them for nearly 10 years and hopefully won't be needing to call upon the this though.
