Very true.... I should probably spend the money on something more important like beer :lol:

Just noticed my passenger side fog light is cracked :( Where is the best place to get one and what price should they be roughly? I had a look on eBay but wasn't sure if the fitment were correct as there a few different ones... Cheers, Andy

Last time I had 3 passengers (1 was quite large) the brakes suffered MASSIVELY it was a very hot summers day and i'm running standard discs and pads. But they faded like crazy hated it. That was the last time anyone sat in the back :)

Certainly doesn't sound like a Trophy, they are all red and have speedline wheels #-o

Nice one and welcome. I live in Bolton north of Manchester. But work in Manchester city centre. Enjoy the Trophy :D Andy

Are the exhaust hanger mounts ok? The rubber in mine were shot and the exhaust banged into the plastic trim when going over uneven roads and speed bumps making a knocking sound.

34k Miles Just had 36k service done including the cam belt.

Get a de-cat pipe save yourself some money!

Yup and I did drive straight past :) Well what can I say Birchdown were excellent, gave me the van for the day so I could get back to work and completed the 36k service + cam belt and sorted out an exhaust alignment issue for £570 all in. Very pleased! =D>

Awesome hopefully my copy will arive today (subscriber) :D

My thoughts exactly I'm sure BG do a sterling job but they do some expensive. The link i posted do all the servicing for Coastal Racing who race in the Clio Cup and Mini Challenge so if they are good enough for racing cars they're good enough for my Trophy :) My dampers are fine at the moment...

Just out of interest has anyone had their dampers refurbed elsewhere? I've got a price of friend from http://www.aurok.com/ and it came in at £260.00 for refurbing both front dampers.

Thanks again marrow, phoned them up very helpful and now booked in for a service at a decent price :mrgreen:

:lol:

LOL Likewise :lol:

bulb noun (LIGHT) ...... :roll: I prefer xenons much better @ night the only xenons that blind me at night are the ones on Range Rovers because the lights are level with your window :lol:

I went for these bulbs: http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=152 >>5000K - high colour temperature >> Distinctive blue light >> Xenon/HID styling >> NOT road legal within the EU Decent xenon effect without the hassle of changing your headlight units to proper xenon ones.

Thanks guys, yeah it was just a street lamp and then some editing in Photoshop to punch up the colour a little. Was testing out a new 16-35mm lens.

A few night shots for consideration :D Hi-Res Versions Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tallandy

£778 doesn't seem so bad now if Reno quoted you £1300 :shock:

Thanks for that i've not tried Birchdown didn't know about them... people generally got good things to say about them for servicing etc?

My Trophy is currently at 34k miles and i'm looking to get the 36k service done aux belt and also i'm considering getting the cam belt done at the same time as the car will getting towards 5 years old. I got a quote of RS Murray & Sons today for the service, aux belt + cam belt £778 all in...

My Trophy is running a de-cat pipe and it used to pop quite a lot when it was first started up and cold. Since its been remapped by RS Tuning no more pops.... but more power, can't have everything I guess :)

Thanks :)

I agree I think the front is ugly on the 200. But I do like the interior and dash!
