Finally getting there!

PM Sent :-)

I'll get a Me too ?? thanks, Phil

Thanks!

Same! That's part of the reason I started doing it :-) @frayz What covers did you use to protect your rear dampers, please?

Hey @HowieUK , Mine wasn't doing it nearly that much, it just sounded a little like it had high-lift cams on it. After doing some research (a few kind owners agreed to send me videos of what their T's); I realised mine was in was normal - as suggested above. So I never got round to cleaning to...

more pictures.

I did take a few pictures, this should hopefully show you the amount of dirt that's built up over time. In my opinion, without removing all the rear suspension components I don't think you would have really got all the dirt and grime away. There are some pictures taken outside showing pre and...

I actually decided to go with BH Epoxy Mastic for underside protection rather than plain paint/stone chip (y)

Apologies for the delay in responding. The reason for the delay is that I've actually been rather busy with #162. On speaking with the local specialist further it seemed (disappointingly), that there was not going to perform any kind of protection on the "suspension". Now, I wouldn't expect them...

These are the 172 stickers I believe. He's apparently doing a final batch of both 172/182. Here are the latest eBay links in case anyone wants them: 182: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184534087029 172: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184534088784

Speak to Will, I think he's producing as many as required https://www.facebook.com/will.towson.73

I managed to finally track down the guy who listed these (who shared them on behalf of a friend) and bought them I'm afraid ?

This is shocking. So sorry to read this ? I'll keep an eye out. Try the Facebook group - I see them come up occasionally

I'll take these, please

Cheer, think I'll go for the pricey genuine one though ??

Thanks! I've actually contacted the owner and they said they wanted £30, it sounded like a lot so I thought I'd check with you all. Having now spent a little time searching seems like they're like rocking horse sh*t ?

I just snapped a washer blank! ? Anyone got the driver's side? What's the going rate these days?

So, after several more hours calling different companies, validating their approach and chosen rust proofing material I've bitten the bullet and decided to get my car rustproofed with a range of Bilt Hamber products. I ended up contacting Pete Hamber and discussing his product. I then found a...

Agreed, I posted a question about the dampers. I wonder if the seller will respond

I decided to go for these, they are far superior and work well with enough power to adequately lift the boot. I'll post another video If desired, but I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

I've tried SGS and I decided to return these and have gone for Magnetti Marelli, they are far superior in my opinion. See the thread here: https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/boot-struts.54963/page-2#post-416124 I think I linked to the place where I bought them too.

For my own peace of mind, I've decided to undertake a little more research before committing getting RustBusters to work on my Trophy; although I was impressed with the service and I like the idea of a translucent coating rather than black/brown "hiding" the car, I hadn't actually heard of their...

Agreed, If I could have got there I would have bought it too! Congrats OFORBES, it seems a great little project for you.

Thanks all, I'm sure Frayz will be along soon! @TheSaint yeah no problem, they quoted £545 + VAT. I plan on asking them to photograph the process, I'm happy to share them here if anyone's interested?

Hi all, as our Trophy's are 15 years old now, I thought it might be prudent to think about some decent rust proofing and protection. I have booked my car in to the Rust.co.uk specialists in Spalding in a couple of weeks for their "Full Hot Fog Corrolan Rust Proofing Service". I'm keen to...

Thanks Dave. I saw that and thought it must be, but mine has a grey sticker; so thought I'd ask the question ?

Hi all, apologies for resurrecting an old thread. I just wanted to double check whether it was the colour or non- colour (elf logo) sticker to the left of the slam panel that was originally on the trophy?

Thanks but I've just checked and this is a 300 mile/ almost 5 hour round trip. Probably best I leave these for someone closer. Thanks.

Ah sorry I read the £15 posted bit. Can I collect this weekend, please?
