Saw a Trophy crossing the bridge towards the power station today about 4.30pm. Trophy had a bike rack and a bike on the back. Couldn't quite see the plate, but fairly sure it began with W-something.

Thanks mate, that is great. :D

Just a quick one, when I start driving in the V6 the doors lock once its doing about 10 mph, in the Trophy they don't. Is there any easy way to make the doors lock like the V6 does? or do I need the software, laptop and cable/plug arrangement? :? Thanks Lee

I used to have an M3 CSL which didn't have a dipstick either :( I work with electronics and electrical stuff on a day to day basis and there is no way I would put all my trust in them. :!:

How come its had a new engine? They should be able to do more than 37,000 miles :shock:

03/05 - 8,500 miles No Mod's yet, but might go for an Orbisound and ITG panel filter.

The guy who advertised the 1 owner 4,000 mile Trophy on pistonheads for £10.5k was p/x'ing for a 197 I believe :roll:

Oh the only other thing I was going to say, was you can actually hear how grippy the tyres are as you are driving along! Great fun.

Hey Steve, I'm glad it has arrived safe and sound! If I had kept it, I was tempted to strip out the interior, etc and put some better brakes on it. From the rallye website, the Pug 206 Gti 266mm front discs are a popular and fairly cheap conversion. Also, with a bit of headwork and a decent cam...

Not trying to hijack, but I'm after one too. :) Along with a set of front Recaro's :D (You know it makes sense!)

I think the editorial in Evo summed it up a couple of months back when he said about Peugeot used to be the hot hatch kings where they could do no-wrong, and now they are just plain useless! That 206 GTI 180 was a right load of old poo. I hated it. Thank god its dead. Without digressing, I...

I've been in one - albeit only for about 2 miles and it was at a very sedate pace :) My friend was absolutely paranoid about anything happening to the car.

How reliable is this method though? I just ask because I'm from the old school of always checking it on the dipstick :?

I don't think it will sell very quickly at that price. :?

Not much help but it could even be an earthing problem. If one of your earthing connections is getting damp then the resistance will increase thus causing your car to behave badly. Alternatively, if you have an electrical connection elsewhere that is not entirely waterproof, the dampness could...

I think if you look through most high performance car forums, Silkolene Pro-S is really getting some very good PR (nothing to do with Oilman I'm sure :wink: ). Anyway, most of the technicians and engineers that I know put the Silkolene stuff in their own cars, which I think speaks for itself. It...

Look, changing the exhaust and air filter fair enough, but how far do you really want to go with a very rare and sought after car. If you really want to go down that road, why not just sell the Trophy, buy a cheaper 182 and spend the change on the mods you want. From a financial view, doing...

Hee, hee, I was sitting on a big gate post :lol:

Yes count me in, with a carpet heel pad on the drivers side only and number 002/500 on it.

Sounds good, although I would prefer mine to say number 002/500 :wink:

Nope, help yourself mate. Has anyone got a JPEG/GIF of the Trophy logo - then we could forward it onto them and make it all look OEM.

Yep it is 002, ReaGroup did have it for a while, so I guess it probably was at their London West site (as they have just about the biggest RS stock there). It is an ex-press car, used by Autocar as a longtermer. Was also featured in CAR magazine and was on the Trophy presentation DVD thingy...

Unfortunately, tyre foam has its limitations and this will usually become apparent at the most inconvenient moment. I much prefer having a spare - even a space saver, at least you can still move - albeit at 50mph :roll:

How much do you want mate? and any chance of some piccies?

Wrong section mate - there's a seperate 'Spotted' section. :wink:

It is difficult. With the mileage on the V6 it almost makes me want to use the Trophy as a daily driver and tuck the V6 up in the back of my garage. :? A couple of fresh piccies taken today.

Ha, Ha, just noticed 'big peaches' being labelled as CAPS LOCK KING and also 'stromba and aliases' being labelled as Stromba Watch. Very amusing! :lol:

Yeah, I don't mind. I'll do some ringing around on Monday and see what we can get.

I've thought of something that could be quite good to sell in the online shop..... High quality carpet tailored floor mats - complete with the Clio Trophy logo. I need some anyway, so I'm probably going to get some made up and I'll take some pics and post them up here for any comments or...

I don't think they have any trophies tucked away, as the numbers were all allocated as far as I know, but I guess time will tell. If you ask your dealer they'll tell you that the very latest V6's ever registered were on an 06 plate......... so what they tell you and what is fact are not...
