    Renault Headlights

    I had new OEM ones fitted in June 2019. FWIW they cost £287.40 + VAT for the pair. I believe that non-OEM similar items were around £120 + VAT a pair. Evidently the OEM ones have the silver/grey surround but the non-OEM ones have a black or otherwise darker surround.

    T**PHY VRN Wanted

    I've finally given in to thinking about changing the VRN of #430 that I've owned from new. The plates themselves are looking a bit tired and I thought I might take the chance to change the VRN not merely get new plates made up. Please could anyone let me know if they're thinking of selling a VRN...

    Sad news re 265

    Did you see the ECOTY20 film? At the end, Jethro says that although he could afford any of the 8 2020 finalists, which included the Yaris, given the choice of choosing any he'd still elect to drive home "in my 15 year old Clio 182 Trophy". Quite telling

    What's your mileage after 15 (and a bit) years?

    4 years or so ago a thread ran for a while collecting up to date mileage data on a good number of our cars. https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/whats-your-mileage-after-11-years.53689/ I thought it would be interesting to run this again as: - I suspect that we haven't put as many miles on our...

    Clio 182 Trophy #368/500 - Mega Spec

    Kingston as in Surrey not Hull? I'm just in Epsom so let me know if you would ever like a distanced compare and contrast with an absolutely OEM example. You've got a great car. I've spent many a happy hour following it through Wales.

    Insurance agreed values, which companys.????

    A-Plan and Adrian Flux are both brokers, which means that they each rely on there being a number of underwriters willing to write agreed value policies. So if A-Plan merely access the same limited number of underwriters as Flux then the market, and prices, don’t change. As far as I know, there’s...

    Trophy No88 - Stolen - Edinburgh

    My 47K one owner from new OEM replacement parts Trophy I wouldn’t let go for less than £12.5K. The thing about the Trophy nowadays is that the number of good cars is so low that talk of a “market price” doesn’t make much sense. Sorry not much help!

    Why all the sudden interest

    FWIW the used Porsche market is very hot also evidently, with "special" road cars slightly out-doing GT cars owing to the early track season disruption, but a definite sense of people "living for the moment" following what's happened this year, and a slight fear of time running out before the...

    How Many Left and How Many SORNed

    Just taken a look at the latest figures on How Many Left https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/renault_clio_renaultspt_trophy182 I hadn't realized just quite how many cars are SORNed rather than driven! In Q4 2018 fewer than 50% of all the 500 UK cars made were being actively used. Makes the...

    Insurance agreed values, which companys.????

    Mine is Adrian Flux with Ageas underwriting the risk at £8000 agreed value. This was at something of a low point in Trophy values pre-Brexit!
