Quite an expensive kit.

So maybe price isn't so bad if it fits what you are looking for. Generally my preference is for a light touch with any mods though, with a standard car being more desirable.
This just makes me think SGS should be automatically gassing the the ones they are selling as Trophy specific to 400Nm rather than you having to ask for it or having to send them back.
Think it was ten years ago today, the day before the Monaco GP, that the Trophy was unveiled by Alonso and Fisichella. Was anyone down there at the time?
Will go for an anniversary drive later today :o
Be interested to hear the outcome on this. Is it just the latest batch of SGS struts that are like this or are they all the same?
Still pleased with the Morelli ones which are fine.
I just preferred the end caps of the Morelli ones being black, the same as the OE items. It seems that the caps for the SGS ones are now silver. Plus the SGS ones are more expensive too.
I've now fitted these. They are a little longer than the OEM items I removed, but this doesn't cause any issues with the spoiler. In fact the extra clearance is probably a good thing.

I'm still running the standard exhaust. I bought an RS192 last year but have not fitted it.
If Akrapovic made one to fit that would probably be my choice.
Sounds positive Marc. I'm definitely interested in some of these too.
Hopefully they will understand and acknowledge that these are important to keeping the integrity of what is one of the most iconic of hot hatches.
Hi Mikey
Hope alls well. Need to replace my boot struts. Was quoted approx £30 each from Renault a while back. Seems like the SGS ones aren't that great and taking into account postage are only a bit cheaper. Would welcome your thoughts on which to go for.
Cheers

Hopefully not too far north please. Trip from Jersey will include the boat over. I was over a couple of weekends ago and came back on the Saturday. Lucky I didn't stay until the Sunday as the boat trip back that day was horrendous with over 40 cars damaged due to the rough seas!
I've been impressed with the braking performance. However due to personal circumstances I didn't make the track day I was intending to do at the start of the month. So my experience has been limited to road use only.
After fitting, in terms of noise they weren't any different to the standard...
