    Broken into!!!

    Really sorry to hear the news, Its horrid when it happens, one good thing they only nicked the stero, and by doing that the only real damage is the window. One of my friends had some tw@ts break into to her car but they tried wedging the door open, which left a huge gap when the door was shut...

    F.A.O. Matt Wills....

    I have actually seen A Trophy with a Carbon Bonnet that had been painted, the only way you could see it was carbon was because the guy a left a small edge around the outside unpainted and also had the Trophy logo masked into the bottom corner before the bonet had been painted. Looked really...

    Essex boys!

    I have had nothing but problems with Lookers in Chelmsford, from the day I bought my car. Any warranty work that is needed the car goes over to John Pease in Silver End, they are spot on and always happy to help. The last time the car went in I picked it up cleaner than it was when in went...

    Rear arch paint protectors

    They arrived Monday, I havent had time to pop them on the car, will sort it out at the weekend as I need to sort the stone chips first and clean the area as I spent all day on Sunday cleaning polishing and waxing the car only to find out that i need to make sure there is no polish or wax around...

    Rear arch paint protectors

    The infor that Dave has posted on the forum states that they are fully UV Protective and therfore will not discolour over time, to take them off should not be a problem at all, My old AX GT had them on the rear arches which I took off when the car was resprayed and they just peeled off leaving...

    Dont be such a woss, INLET MATCHING IS THE WAY TO GO. Its the one mod that is planned when the bank manager stops tightning his grip on my balls :lol:

    Essex boys!

    Andy at GDI Is a top bloke, but if your thinking of having the inlet matched I would suggest speaking to Angelworks BEN R On CS, he gets the inlets CNC matched and his work is second to none. Similar price as well and he is in the Cambridge area IIRC. I took my car down to GDI Sometime last...

    Capsicum Red Paint Code

    I am very tempted to take the side badges off and paint the 2.0 16v red to mach the car, I just think they will stand out a little more than they do. Eaither that or paint the side badge and leave the letters silver.

    Capsicum Red Paint Code

    here we go, not great as the picture was quite small but gives you and idea I have smoked the side repeaters and aslo made the trophy logo darker. Oh and added the red on to the 2.0 16v writing. TBH I really dont like it, just looks a little odd.

    Capsicum Red Paint Code

    The side badges I would keep the colour they are, mayber get the writing painted in red to bring them out, but if you matched the colour to the wheels the Trophy Logo would just look out of place as its Silver.

    Essex boys!

    BB Tuning were one of the best in the area, but as far as I am aware they are no longer doing services. Another option is GDI in Cambridge, worth while speaking to Andy on this see what price he can do. Or RENTECH down south bit of a drive but I have only ever heard good words about them.

    Capsicum Red Paint Code

    In all of my cars I have owned the gear knob was the first thing to change, thing is i just cant find one that looks good in the Trophy, I really like the Richbrook items but not sure what to go for. On thing I would like to do is get hold of the silve handbrake button that they put into...

    Capsicum Red Paint Code

    I have been toying with the idea of doing this for months now, I pciked up a set of the 182 inserts with the mock carbon look, that are fitted to the car currently, and have the standard matt finished silver ones which I was going to have a play with. I was also thinking of doing the renault...

    painting calipers

    TBH I really dont think you will ever find the same colour as the wheels in a High Temp Paint, the best match you will find will be Hammerite Grey Gunmetal, I had some lying around when I painted a mates engine bay and looking at it, it seems to be a much lighter shade. Thats the main reason...

    painting calipers

    TBH in a car that weighs just over a ton, 4 Pots would be overkill. Even the cup racers use standard calipers with uprated discs and pads, granted the cars are even lighter, but compare to the abuse a road car gets to the abuse the cup racers get. I think alot of people end up putting the 4...

    painting calipers

    LOL at the fake Brembo covers, I have actually seen a pair on a car once before, and I will be honest with you they look very realistic, they are actually made by Brembo themselves. TBH though I would prefer to save my money and chuck a set of Brembo 4 Pots on, at least then I can say I...

    painting calipers

    I am just in the process of chaning the pads and discs, and have decided to paint the calipers, but keeping them subtle and painting them black. I have aslo got hold of some Renault Sport high temp stickers which I may (not sure yet) put on to the front calipers just to make them look a little...
