Wheel arch liners.
I had some on back order and received the in stock notification about the same time as MarcB posted that one of the front four are no longer available. https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/clio-trophy-part-numbers.53897/page-4#post-418795
Whilst I have no idea how long the others...
It’s a no brainer really but as per my earlier comment the price was driven by just two committed buyers this time. The next one or two will be interesting.
Good point, I guess for someone just coming into Trophy ownership the small ruckus this has caused might be hard to understand, we have all been looking through the window of anything over £10k having to have that bit extra and this one has not got a lot of that. My view on this one is known but...
You could buy a whole mint example, that should sort you for most parts!
The boat has sailed on most of the Trophy specific parts but what makes it a difficult question to answer is that a lot of the bits you would expect to continue have also disappeared.
I think it must have been a Renault...
Its tempting isn’t it. Having said that the price is being driven by just two bidders, without stating the obvious that is what an auction is all about but having said that there is no guarantee a similar car will attract the same bun fight.
My feeing is that there will be others along, nicer...
Weren’t Trendlines also fitted in one of the Honda Type R? If those cables are a Renault part might they also be a Honda part? That might be an avenue to investigate.
There seem to be a few options that will give similar performance to the Sachs, refurbishment is not a cost effective option. Cheapest, just go for the Clio Cup dampers from RPD, very close to the Sachs. Next best would be the Koni, these are adjustable to a certain extent or if you need a...
:) I can’t speak for him but I suspect that is price is a little rich, it’s going to need some money spent on it and you can bet your life that having stood that long the first enthusiastic drive will end with the Sachs giving up the ghost!
Wow a thread from before even my time :) I think the information above is a little misleading as it was my impression there was not an exact match in powder coat????
Has This changed anyone?
Yep the plastic is quite flexible and they just use buttons that are located into holes on the part it is attached to, push the button through the hole and it can be released. I just can’t remember how that tube is attached to the valve.
I’m fairly certain they cannot be refurbished and they are no longer available from Renault so unfortunately you are going to have to fork out a few quid (they were never cheap) It is a well known problem and there are threads on here that mention it if you search. I’ll see if I can find one.
It’s a long time since I did it but your best bet is to go in through the the wheel arch, remove the liners and then you should be able to get at the lower pipe and acoustic valve assembly.
