Just popped out for a late lunch walking to Halfords and saw this Trophy coming down the road at 14.45, had to do a double take as they are so rare. Think it was Centro186? Sounded sweet as it was flying! ;-).
I insured mine last week with Neil at Greenlight, great to deal with and £5k valuation on my Trophy, a little more than the last company however Milltek exhaust now covered, happy days! :-)
Michelin Pilot Sport 3's are about as close as you can get these days to the original Pilot Exalto's the Trophies came with. RS192 exhaust does look a decent buy, rather tempting!
WTF was he doing?! didnt have a clue about the car or how to drive it, not the usual runaround/shopping trolley like the 1.2's are. Its in a league of its own, he should watch the EVO review so he might actually learn something and how to do his job before he gets fired! seriously...

I read somewhere the other day that although only 500 were sold to the UK market, some areas sold a fair few more Trophies than others. In particular including my Trophy 414 which originally came from Ness Motors in Inverness, they sold 16 Trophy's in total which is not bad considering how very...
Think these are fairly expensive and 'fixed' compared to the OE ones. I replaced both of mine about 6 months ago with new genuine Renault items as there are some non gen ones on the market. OE ones are about £30-40 for both with a cheeky bit of staff discount and will outlast non gen cheap items.
