The car looks perfect after the detail! Does need the Trophy stickers though

I'm looking for a used Sabelt steering wheel. Preferably well worn and cheap because I'm going to get it retrimmed. Get in touch if you have one. Thanks

In my personal opinion - I like the modifications done to the Clio and I think it would be an absolutely brilliant car to drive and own. But I think it's worth 9k. I don't want to sound insulting , because I love the fact that it's supercharged and the work is top quality. But you will never...

One like from me. Good luck!

Adrian Flux were actually £10 cheaper than Greenlight for me this year - but I declared the mods to my car (induction kit, rs tuner, camber bolts etc) and green light do not charge any more for other mods that I might add in the future. I just need to ring them and make them aware. For that...

Here's a guide I just found. http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=25471&page=3#/forumsite/20488/topics/25471?page=1 I didn't bother replacing the sump plug washer but it's good practice to do so. The choice is yours. You could probably manage without removing the mailbox but it will...

I was actually trying to get some Superblue but none of the local factors had it. They had Castrol srf but it's about £40 L. Maybe worth it in a track car but too much for my needs. Ended up going for Halfords dot 5.1.

I was actually surprised how cheap the Millers was! And just to mention that I am changing the coolant too. Renault is actually The CHEAPEST for coolant!!! I was surprised by this. It was £12 Inc VAT for 5L of type D coolant from the Renault garage. The motor factors were a few quid more...

Decided to change the gearbox oil in #302 as there is no evidence in the service history of it ever being done. Car has covered 63k. I went to the local Renault garage and they wanted £52+VAT for 3L of Elf 75-80 (after checking i found that you can get it for about £35 off ebay). Then checked...

Finished painting the rocker cover and other bits. Looks good imho but I'll have to see how long it stays looking that way!

Just thought I'd post up a few pics of my upgraded led sidelight bulbs. I can't take credit for this - the credit goes to @MarcR. I saw one of his replies to a post on cs.net about bulbs. I have recently fitted a set of xenons to #302 and needed to upgrade the sidelight bulbs to suit. I had...

Oops...I was too slow..lol. Thanks for clearing that up Nik.

I started a thread about spam a few weeks ago and I also sent Nik a pm. I was shocked to see that my thread had actually been deleted while the spam threads stayed put. Now what does that say! There were 3 other moderators, apart from Nik and when I checked a few weeks ago they had not been...

Hi Marc, I'm still in the middle of tidying it up. I have the gearbox support off at the moment and I'm going to paint it also. I tried getting the Turini anthracite colour to paint the upper engine mount and fuel rail but I couldn't get it because it's an Ixell colour. I read on Cliosport...

I like the black wrinkle! I painted the rocker of my mx5 with it and thought it looked good. I have painted mine in capsicum red. It was a 2k paint and not vht - so I'll have to see how it holds up to the heat!

Good job! It looks tidy! I'm in the process of tidying my engine bay up and I have painted my rocker capsicum red. I have a few more things to do and also I'm waiting on new engine mounts arriving but when I'm finished I'll post a few pics up to see what you think.

Need details. Sounds promising!

Very nice indeed!

Any news? Has the car been found? I feel gutted for you. I hope you have some good news!

£4000 for a 19k Trophy is a bargain!

I got 2 ps3's from tyre universe a month or 2 ago. I ordered them on Sunday night and they arrived on Thursday. Didn't check the manufacture date on them. I was very happy with the service and will definitely use them again.

Apologies for the double post! I got your name wrong Mikey :o

Mikey I just used Panel wipe. You should be able to get it from any car shop that sells car paint. 5L is only about £15 or £20 and will last for years. Otherwise methylated spirits or similar will do. You might get the bolts in the same shop. They're just a 6mm Alan key cap screw. If not, go...

Cheers Fellas. I really want to paint the rest of the engine now but I'll leave it until Winter. I'm going to paint the top engine mount red and the rocker cover and lower manifold black. I'll keep you's up to date!

Just thought I'd share this with you all. I was checking the ht leads and spark plugs and thought I'd paint the top manifold when I had it off. I used an airbrush (first time), connected to my compressor and 2k paint. I had the black from my last car and I got the capsicum red trophy colour...

Hi Chris, I'll take them. Let me know payment details. Cheers, Mark

My mx5 is now sold. So now I have an empty garage that needs a Trophy before the missus fills it with junk!!! Anyone thinking of selling, then pm me please. I'm willing to travel anywhere in the UK for the right car. Cheers.

Hi, The reason I'm advertising my car for sale on this forum is because the Clio Trophy is the only car I will part exchange for. I will be getting a Trophy when i sell it. So if anyone is interested, get in touch. Many thanks, Mark...

Hi fellas, just wanted to give you a heads up. Was having a look on Gumtree and see that #496 is for sale at £3250!!! I have nothing to do with the advertisement or know how's selling it, but I wanted to let people on the forum know. It's only been posted 3 hours...
