The car wasn't anything like it looked like in the photos when I bought it. The deeper you dig when having a car done the more you find and as most of you know, I have very very high standards.
Unfortunately it needed paint, and that wasn't cheap. Its had everything else it could possibly need...
It’s actually my other Trophy and it was me who spent nearly £6k on the soft restoration.
I also collected the 11k mile one for a client and this car is just as good.
The splitter is actually from a Clio Cup Race Car, it’s not off a fabia. This was originally owned by the owner of Pyro...
Just because I have a pair of pants, doesn’t mean they are the only ones I own. As said, I’m technically now unemployed, so have spare time to tinker and there is nothing left to do with my other Trophy or my other cars.
So I am going to enjoy myself spending time getting this Trophy to a...
Hi All,
It was myself that bought the car from Brian and it arrived this morning. For those wondering, I paid full asking price as I believed it was priced pretty sensibly.
I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but after recently selling out of my company and now technically...
Wow, I wasn't expecting it to reach much more than the £5k it was at a couple of hours before the auction ended!!
Thats great money for the owner and good news for all of us owners!
I bought it from another owner on here.
I think from memory it was originally advertised on here for Over £1k, then dropped to £750, and then to £450 to get it gone.
Cor, yeah, finding a cup racer box will be difficult. I wonder if they would make one up for you??
I really detest those FB groups, but sometimes they are good for knowledge and problem solving but I have never asked a question on there. Exactly that!! Everyone wants everything dirt cheap, god...
I think you could easily get £1k for it from the right person. I wouldn't bother trying to advertise it on any of the FB groups, they absolutely batter anyone who asks for more than £10 for something.
When I got my Williams wheels from a seller, I got a load of abusive messages just because I...
I think that this is my favourite thread on the internet....
Its the thread that just keeps giving!
Every update makes me so envious of your abilities!!
Yep - Just bought 4 of them but only needed 1.
Remembering how hard it was to find centre caps for Williams wheels I decided to buy more than I needed so that I have a few spare!
Cant stop thinking about it now! Im so annoyed that I didn't bother to check to see if they were still available!!
Is it wrong of me to hope that you don't like it so that I can buy it Frayz??
Balls. I didn't realise you could still get them! I thought they were so long gone for the Trophy that I didn't even bother looking! Literally had a full Milltek system installed yesterday! ?
How weird, I sat in my garage last night looking at my Trophy and wondering exactly the same thing. I was looking at the front and rear bumpers and thinking of just getting these painted, but have come to the conclusion that I would rather have a complete respray and have a high quality job...
Thank for for the number for Dan - Just spoken with him and ordered the 2m. Thoroughly nice chap and super helpful so thanks for giving the phone number!
My Eibach Pro Kit Springs have arrived.
I am sure I read on here somewhere about rubber piping to put on them to reduce any possible knocking noise. Does anyone know what size pipe I would need and where I could buy it from?
I love to tinker, but my abilities go as far as detailing my car! I would love to possess the abilities of your tinkering! As others have said, if you want to borrow my car at any time to tinker with it let me know!! :)
Im looking forward to the next instalment!
Wow.
I have just read your entire thread from start to finish whilst I have been on conference calls.
I think you are my new hero Frayz! What an incredible thread, your attention to detail and levels of OCD are immense! I hugely admire your work and I am envious of your (and others)...
I noticed that too, I am guessing that the wheels must have been refurbished at some point and they have replaced the centre caps.
Needs a few bits doing to get it to a good standard, but still quite cheap considering its a dealer sale
