Thanks! Yup, more than a little bit of detective work has been needed this far and I am pretty sure there will be a few mistakes that need rectifying or clarification.
Good points mate, thank you.
One of the reasons [that I forgot to mention] for also putting this project together was due to the fact it might, as time goes on, become increasingly difficult to tie a given example with its unique number. Why Renault did not link number to VIN I do not know... I...
Thank you :)
It will be interesting to see whether or not folks are comfortable sharing their information (or not). Obviously there are no 'dark' or sinister reasons for doing it; it was just a 'cool and fun thing to do'. As a potential buyer I would be interested in knowing if a Trophy had...
Yes - that's a fair point and hopefully would be the case. :)
Thank you, that would be great. :) It would be nice to have (at least) some sort of recorded history for each Trophy, even just basic information as I'm suggesting. I absolutely get where you are coming from in terms of your own...
Indeed - and that is ultimately the dilemma! I'm all for transparency and honesty, but I'm not an unscrupulous seller trying to milk money out of unsuspecting buyers...! :ROFLMAO:(y)
Thanks for the feedback / reply. :)
Some of the information gathered has been through the freely available MOT / tax check. I had looked into retrieving this information automatically by connecting to the DVLA website but, whilst the information is free to view, it is not free to access for...
I wasn't sure whether or not to post this as I expect there may be differing views and opinions as to whether or not it's a good thing... Let me explain.
This website is a fantastic resource for information pertaining to these awesome little cars. One of the best sections, I feel, is the Trophy...
Pretty much what @Cue said... I have the more capable car in terms of the Porsche GT4 but it doesn't dilute the fun I get from driving the Clio Trophy. Leagues apart in terms of performance and ability, and only a fraction behind in terms of outright fun and smiles.
I don't find the Trophy too...
I was surprised that the EP3 Type-R ranked so highly. Don't get me wrong, I still own one now and l love it... obviously there is still love for it out there in the voting PH community. I won't lie, I'm quite happy with my small trio of cars. :)
I have three sets of Turinis - two are Trophy fitment and one set is Cup fitment. They all work just fine in my experience.
EDIT: Obviously not mixing and matching different offsets though!!!! Hahahahaha!
Thank you mate :) I have to admit that I like the way that particular photo turned out.
Yes - happy, happy, joy, joy. :)
Trophy v1.0 is all but done mate. There are literally a few minor things left and then ready for MOT and tax.
Entering into the 6th month of ownership and I'm still loving and enjoying this thing, although the downturn in weather at this time of year means it won't be seeing too many miles over the winter months. It had its first major service last week (and warranty work for a faulty parking e-brake)...
Same old story mate... quite a few people interested. Followed by, "What's your best price?" "I'll give you £150." I got fed up in the end. Time wasters and jokers! I'm half tempted to keep them myself seeing as I'm now keeping the Trophy!
...it's a shame to put those sparkling newly painted parts back on to your now, quite frankly, substandard Clio... :p :LOL: :ROFLMAO:
Looks lovely mate! :)
