    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    I just checked my Oreca account and I previously purchased six centre caps. Will need to look for them in the parts hoard. I've already replaced the bumper and arch fittings with marine grade torx screws. To finish off an expensive adventure, I have secured a full set of new old stock arch...

    They were on back order with the manufacturer. I'm guessing they waited for enough orders to trigger the next manufacturing run.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    @NickReilly063 - I remember you posting on Facebook the wheel colour code. I can't find the post now, could you remind me what the colour is? Going to get the alloys refurbed at the same time.

    I waited four months for my splitter but it was worth it. Thanks Ed, will start spending the pennies.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    The previous owners haven't taken the best care of #256 and she's a looker from 20ft nowadays. I would call her country lane battle ready now. Being brutal and completely open, these are the problems with #256. - six shades of red now - two or three dubious touch up resprays - every panel has...

    That's my thinking as well. It fills me with dread to think what they rollout as satisfactory work.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    I just got a £1500 quote and it scares me, I still can't work out why or how it's that cheap. The quote is the same as the others and they've confirmed they will; - A full glass out respray. - dents pulled and skimmed - Bumpers, aerial, badges, side skirts and door side trims removed. - front...

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    All quotes are for a glass out full respray with three coats of 2k paint. The 3k quote is for two layers of water based paint, 2 layers of clear and a plastic type paint to bring the colour back to the plastic trim. I'm dubious of the 3k quote as it's so cheap. The underneath will be done...

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    Make sure you're sitting down first. In London I'm being quoted 7-12k, slightly outside of London it's 5-10k and a little bit further out its 3-10k. I'm happy to bring the car to Scotland if it means a great work and a great price compared to London. Just struggling to find anyone up north...

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    Hi all, #256 will be going in for a glass out respray in the next few weeks. While part hoarding I've been making a list of things to replace at the same time. Have I missed anything and do you know how I can source some a Renault windscreen. Front of car - new windscreen - no idea how to...

    Someone is selling 3D printed reproduction washer blanks. Could be a good alternative if one gets damaged. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18zwkWAp2G/

    Front and rear bumper

    Hi Kelvin., Second hand parts from a 182 being broken is your best bet. Side skirts normally go for £30 a side and bumpers are £100 or less. Mike

    hello experts

    Just to add. No idea if brake servos are LHD and RHD specific. Autodoc is suggesting this is a LHD part. Alternatives are buying one off a 182 being broken or getting one rebuilt by a specialist restorer.

    I'm struggling with the golf and how it can be worth £34k more than a similar golf that hasn't had a bare shell restoration.

    Trophy in Enfield, London

    I didn't think it would take twenty years and buying one for me to spot my first Trophy. My son was more excited and then a bit upset that we went out in the VW.

    Trophy in Enfield, London

    Spotted a trophy leaving Enfield, London @ 3pm today via the Ridgeway. From doing a search I couldn't work out who this was on the forums. Terrible photo of AO55HNJ from my dashcam.

    Wanted - Front/rear spring

    I'd suggest cleaning and putting rust inhibitor on the shell before the rust takes hold while replacing the springs. Where is the car being exported too?

    In that case, I'm glad I went with a pure motorsport exhaust. Was told it wasn't an asbo exhaust.

    Shame this didn't come up before I bought a new exhaust for #256. Meant to be one of the better aftermarket exhausts for the 182. £440 collected Yozza exhaust

    Wrong offset for trophy wheels. Sets of 182 cup turini's come up fairly often on the Facebook clio sale groups. May need a respray but the easiest way to get them in Et45 offset

    Sachs OR cup front shocks and springs

    Photo Ed posted a set of clio cup dampers previously for sale. I had the same issue and ended up buying a set of dampers via the trophy Facebook group. They come up every so often or just post asking for a set. I struggled with springs and ended up with Mark fish Eibachs. Since then, grams...
