Have read this before. sounds very american and bollox to me. but yeah it is interesting.

ok guys, many thanks looks like i will have to buy from rip off renault will feed back with some info.

does anyone know whether you can buy the anthracite turini other than from renault - want a spare just in case cheers

its just my opinion from experience. if i wanted to buy a car like a trophy in a few years time then i would go for the one thats standard and not f*cked about with in any way. i would assume that with all the enige dressing then the owner would likely have given it death all the time. To me...

IMHO a rare car like the trophy should be kept standard - any mods will affect the resale value. its a great car as it is so why change it. Okay can see the point on a 172 or 182 because they are so plentifull, but the trophy will be best left alone, you will stand out enough as it is. Plus...

I have had 5 cossie's - 1 three door, 3 saphire and an escort. The 3 door was my fathers from new and it had 16k on when i got it and the escort was new. the 3 saphires were indeed thrashed and modded to death, one to the tune of 420bhp, hybrid turbo, 3 bar map sensor, fith injector etc etc...

Mr 'king!' stromba....you need to drive a trophy to beleive the hype - i have had over 40 cars in my 15 years of drivin, 3 door and saphire cossies, gte 16v's, mr2 many golfs etc etc and beleive me I can talk from experience. When i read the guff that you spit out it just sounds like sour...

I use a 'trade' type - loose fit by snap-on have a look at the snap on site for an example - had mine on for 2months of ownership and still look new

sounds a bit strange to me - never noticed that before. mine seems smooth all the way sure a mat aint catching or something like a wire loom aint rubbing up top?

hey this thread is amazing! on my trophy, when i press my break pedal the car starts to slow down!? is this normal when its stopped and i press my pedal then it dosent slow down at all!

pearl and metallic effectivley are the same - different particle sizes and more contributing colours that give a different hue in certain light metallic has larger 'flakes' of metal pigment and are more obvious to the naked eye. like cornflkes and sand!!! but anyway all colors other...

pics pics of wheelarch protector

what about asda car park in leigh - pretty quiet on a sunday?! JOKE BTW - its famous with boy racers - the corsa boys etc. dreadfull

fitted em now - really easy and are almost invisible. look spot on. If there is anyone who wants a pair then pm me. £5 a pair got a piccy and can mail if you give me the addy matt

maybee a bumping sensation when the 4th lands back on terra firma?

quite the opposite for me - at 5k its like someone flicking a switch and it pulls like hell - try it in second with full throttle ie foot right down.

babies dont mind rattles either..........

from previous experience with other 172 ive decided to take action! youll know that the leading edge of the rear wheel arches are a bastard for catching the stones thrown up from the front wheels and before long they get peppered my mate, a designer has measured and produced on his mac a...

i know what you mean...slight pulse for a second? yeah thats normal. abs dont worry

never had the rough thing on any of my 3 172's or my trophy. that said the trophy is a little jerky when cold but never hesitates or slow to accelerate - its the opposite tbh, very very throttle sensitive

touch up with rover ' stone grey' paint its a perfect match. I bought some just in case. I beleive other 182 owners with anthracite wheels have used this. btw got it in a spray from halfords. Just spray into the cap and use a brush to touch it in.

wheel nuts that is. Just fitted some McGards and was surprised how easy they undid. checked em all....the same Its common knowledge you should re-tighten after a while but i was surprised. get checking guys n gals

iwas told about 2 weeks ago taht all trophys were gone - the guys checked his screen etc etc. The renaultsport site was always a bit slow with the numbers.

^^^^^^^^^^if you check half of that then you deserve a medal. I just got in mine and drove home.

Ive not got any yet, however when i got the car i bought some capsicum red touch up from renault. As the brush is sh*t try this for a really neat application- buy some wooden kebab skewers with sharp pointy ends. then when you wanna touch up, bolb a small amount of paint onto a plastic surface...

yes i had this, like a hot rubbery smell!? it goes - done 1200 miles now and its stopped after about 600 or so

my engine sounds whiney - like a belt type of whine - just normal.

he's probably thinking of three suspension settings for the 182 - ie standard, cup and trophy. you know what these renault turds are like! - thick as a whale sandwich
