If it was me I’d take it to a professional detailer with a strong reputation. They will know what can be revitalised through their services and what might need to go to a paint shop to be put right. At least then you’ll have a better idea of next steps and things to research for either DIY if...

In particular places or all over the entire car?

OP - are you talking about having panels or the whole car resprayed? Or are you coming at it from a paint correction/detailing perspective?

If you think their initial offer is a fair reflection of the condition and mileage of yours, plus you value your time and want to avoid the effort you might need to put in to possibly get a better offer, then take it. Without any details of your car I’ll assume it wasn’t on 150k miles and in...

Common insurers I’ve seen include Keith Michaels, Greenlight, Flux, Sky, Brendacre, and all the well known brands. Consider asking if they’ll offer an agreed value policy for peace of mind should the worst happen. The last thing any owner wants is a battle to secure a reasonable payout. That...

Not sure I would, I’d be gutted, but I’d take the agreed value and move on. Would I want it back not knowing what had happened in it or how it had been used? Hopefully I never find myself in that position.

You could try the chaps at Renault Parts Direct, they’ve always been extremely helpful in the past.

I don’t know many people at all that have gone with the Pro option - is there a reason for that?? I’ve no idea how they compare but having tried standard, Cooksport and Eibach Sportlines I’m an advocate of the latter - now on my second set ?

For me it was a decision based on aesthetics, and I didn’t notice any discernible difference. Common thinking is that if you run wheel spacers on the rear (vs stub axle spacers) you put added strain on the rear wheel bearings. Trophy wheels are ET45 (or 43, I never remember which,) and the Cup...

If it’s not there then I’d be surprised if there was much if any documented updates on the car, which is a real shame. I wonder how many Trophys are off the grid and yet to have an entry in the owners register, I’d like to think it’s a small number and this is a rarity. The best you can do is...

Have you found the entry in the owners register (if it exists)?

Is this the one in/near Lambourn?

If you’re on CS.net, NorthloopCup, or on Facebook, Mark Mayfield (same person) has a good reputation. The gearbox for a Trophy is no different to that of a 182 ?

I guess it’s indicative of how many Trophys are second cars, still, it’s a much higher number than I’d have thought.

A couple of years ago I was a new customer with Keith Michaels who did the business. Can’t say with any certainty that they’re still offering it to new new customers. All the best

Weren’t Greenlight no longer taking on Trophy agreed value policies? Or did I misread that somewhere?

Pete’s selling #409 in Bristol, could be just what you’re looking for. Check out the for sale section on here ?

What’s next?

Hasn’t Dawn got one or two for sale? ?

The replacement exhaust needs replacing? That sounds unusual - when I replaced the standard item on my car it came with a lifetime guarantee.

I love Trophys on silver wheels...

Mike Edwards does some decent work, he’s Surrey area I think. Or ProSpeed in Cardiff offer a lifetime guarantee - like other owners with their system, I’m very happy!

I’m afraid I can’t help, but I’m intrigued about your mileage requirement - where do you get 40k from? I can’t imagine there are many cars out there on that mileage, maybe a dozen or so? And of those maybe 10% would consider selling? Either way the 182 Trophy is a great car, even those on 140k...

Is it too late to be added to the list? I feel I should buy a pair but don’t want to see another member miss out as a result of my indecision. Thanks

How many surplus are being manufactured, or is it strictly those on the list only?

Some feedback on your ad - it’s a bit light on detail ? I jest, if only they were all like this! Good luck with your sale and search.

It can be tricky finding 280mm brackets, they’re a little harder to come by than brackets for the 300mm conversion, unless you know someone who can source them?

You buy them direct from Mark Fish - he’s over in Essex or that way I think, probably find him on Google, does plenty of motorsport prep. As for visual differences, pass. Not 100% sure I’d notice the handling difference either, but Ive never tried the MF version.

As nice as red ones might be, black is OEM, and I think that will hold most sway with members.

Hi @Paul Morris, I thought I’d bump this thread as I think Greenlight may well be offering agreed value policies again after a brief hiatus. Personally I renewed in November with Keith Michaels but was also offered a very competitive agreed value through A-Plan (Thatcham branch). Good luck
