I have three sets of Turinis - two are Trophy fitment and one set is Cup fitment. They all work just fine in my experience.
EDIT: Obviously not mixing and matching different offsets though!!!! Hahahahaha!
Thank you mate :) I have to admit that I like the way that particular photo turned out.
Yes - happy, happy, joy, joy. :)
Trophy v1.0 is all but done mate. There are literally a few minor things left and then ready for MOT and tax.
Entering into the 6th month of ownership and I'm still loving and enjoying this thing, although the downturn in weather at this time of year means it won't be seeing too many miles over the winter months. It had its first major service last week (and warranty work for a faulty parking e-brake)...
Same old story mate... quite a few people interested. Followed by, "What's your best price?" "I'll give you £150." I got fed up in the end. Time wasters and jokers! I'm half tempted to keep them myself seeing as I'm now keeping the Trophy!
...it's a shame to put those sparkling newly painted parts back on to your now, quite frankly, substandard Clio... :p :LOL: :ROFLMAO:
Looks lovely mate! :)
I'll give him a shout mate. He's incredibly busy at the moment and his job doesn't always afford him much online time when the F1 season is in full swing! (y)
That's a shame mate... ;) I kinda get your dilemma though. Our Type-R has decided to throw a wobbly for the first time in 135,000 miles and needs a new gearbox. I'm having to use the GT4 as a daily. It's both awesome and painful in equal measure!
A few 'battle scars' are fine. :) The main thing is you're enjoying it mate! That said, if you're going to the trouble and cost of a front-end respray (assuming it happens) then I would also factor in the cost of PPF! Definitely worth it! But that's easy for me to say as I didn't have to pay for...
Interesting... maybe if said Swiss owner had tried it on a broken British B-road...! :ROFLMAO::LOL:
I think the Trophy is absolutely superb, even given the fact it is some 15 years old now. Still as much fun to hustle along your favourite back roads as they ever were. I can't ever recall...
If you decide on a set of Mark Fish springs then I have a brand new unused set for sale... :)

Thanks for the pics @MarcB - glad you like the Trophy's replacement. :) Thanks also for coming over and introducing yourself. Mate, it was a genuine pleasure - you're a gent.
I concur! :)
Don't even go there! Mind you, 'modern' red paintwork doesn't seem too bad these days... and the GT4 lives in darkness in the garage when not in use. I also fitted blackout blinds the other week. :)
Thanks mate!
#165 may well be leaving my ownership in the coming few months, but a little bit of Le Clio B*stard Rouge will always live on with me!

My last rebuild at BG cost me just over £1100 and that was with new rods (due to scoring). Sadly they only lasted ~1400 miles before they leaked.
EDIT: I managed some 86,000 miles before they needed the first rebuild though, which I thought was pretty impressive.
