The fabled few that went to Japan?

Hey Andy, yeah fine. All pretty low speed , was coming off a roundabout when somebody decided to come around the outside of the traffic coming the other way waiting to get onto the roundabout, I hit the brakes the guy behind didn't. Are you talking about the Audatex system?

Well this has now gone in a slightly different direction, but all is good, a slightly offtrack thread is always interesting. I'm not sure there is a right answer to who you use to handle the details (I was gently berated by the BMW guys for not using their service) as they all seem to use the...

I previously insured the trophy through Greenlight but they refused to reinsure when my renewal came up whilst I was between jobs having been made redundant. I was pretty disgusted with their attitude and failed to see how that made me a bigger risk with two other cars insured at the time, one...

Really quite interesting, not as many total write off's as I expected but a lot of cars with heavy(?) damage seem to have been put back on the road.

One of the advantages of a little database such as this is that if the information is being mined from several different sources it is more likely to flag inconsistencies.

Yep, I'd like to see it but suspect opinions might be split depending on whether you are a buyer or seller and whether the car is hiding any secrets or not :)

Stupid smiley face, should be this :(

Bit of advice please if anyone has any experience. I got rear ended in the BMW 1 the other day. It actually doesn't look that bad, beaten up rear bumper and lip of the hatch is a little scratched and bent slightly, the Golf that hit me was ruined so suspected I might have got off too lightly and...

If the originals are still available they will be expensive, the versions available on eBay are inexpensive and supposed to be pretty good...

Thanks for sorting Nik.

A certain Dan Potter was enquiring about Sachs rebuilds on the FB site after "picking up a neglected Trophy"

@Nik Is there any progress on this. I've had a message from an old member trying to re sign in with the forgotten password and being denied.

Mmmm possibly, they are no longer on the Renault Parts Direct site and with such a limited demand item it's unlikely Renault would order more once they ran out. You will find copies on Ebay by N2graphix ?? that are supposed to be a very good match.

The white paint(?) is an addition I made myself. So long ago I don't even remember how I did it!

I've looked at getting more of the Carbon Fibre version that was also around at the same time but not found anyone who may be interested.

Mate, just pm me your address and I will pop it in the post.

Rediscovered my second set of keys with original fob and ClioTrophy addition, anyone still have theirs?

Found it.

Thought as much, hence the extra wire from the battery terminal I guess.

What's the extra wire attached to the engine lifting eye?

Don't forget to blank off the nipple to the left of the TB in that picture above and i've not forgotten about the alarm rubber.

"Rear Trophy decal" That sounds like an aftermarket addition. N2Grafix on Ebay do some very good copies of the skirt decals apparently or they are still available from Renault as above. Link includes what I think you mean by the rear decal...

Why is the question, no idea why these did not sell straight away.

I replaced my switch as it went faulty so may have a spare if I didn't chuck it, Likely as i'm a hoarder but I'll have to have dig as I've no idea where it may be.

Oh no, no rubber surround on the bonnet alarm switch ;)

Though they were originally grey, later versions were more silvery. Doesn't really matter though, they both look like this now.

Actually the original units were grey.

Underwhelmed, ah well.
