Very nice.

Thanks, I hadn't thought about a jack handle, may be worth a go but bars are pretty cheap so may just pop to halfords.

Jesus, don't worry about that, I'm light years behind you. That is basically the problem, I have neither a buzz gun or breaker bar which I guess is the way forward.

Thank you for your kind offer but I'm down in Wallingford Nr Oxford so not really an option. I have squirted copious amounts of penetrating oil down the trailing arm in the vain hope that they will shift when I try again tomorrow. Glass of wine is now calling.

Probably apart from the fact that I can’t get either of the bottom bolts to budge :mad:

I have to admit I have used this thread as a point of reference On more than one occasion.

Yeah pretty much what I thought too though still think it’s beyond borderline. New rear bumper and spray, knowing the way the petrol filling points rust I would say that that is the rear wing that has gone, new rear quarter? Full service, Sachs refurb and that is without considering the reason...

How are you polishing up the exhaust and with what product, that’s quite a difference. The stuff I’m using is using is not cutting it!

That's pretty sad. I wonder why the paintwork on those two panels is okay and the rest are roached, I mean what has happened to that paint? My guess is that that is probably beyond economic repair.

Yes the mounts are a similar state to mine. The version above looks to be a modified "quiet" version with the extra middle box.

Thanks to you both. Neither the Trophy Sachs or the Koni Adjustable come with either the sleeve or bush. Its a 50k+ car so I will inspect and decide. Not that I have ever scrimped on the car but TBH it's fifty quid I can do without spending at the moment.

So It does. Pretty sure that's not true.

Can't help with the part numbers but I have a feeling these are no longer available. I had a quick look on eBay and and there is a set of all three for sale there (make sure you get the correct finish) unlikely to be minty mint but possibly your only avenue now.

Just in the process of spraying my Koni black before I fit, can't be dealing with the yellow. The rears are sealed units so cannot be rebuilt. Did that come from the seller?

That link says "Trophy decal NLA" which sugests no longer available? The shop version look as though the have a useful positioning tool as part of the stencil.

This doesn’t seem to have been discussed much. Rear damper bushes, replace or not?

Many still have the originals fitted and they are working fine (though I’m willing to accept there has probably been a drop off in performance)

As I said in my earlier reply £400 is not far off what they originally cost per pair. The second run, black version, were discounted for a while but I think list price was the £179 each posted above. Having said that the seller is being economical with the truth when he says they are a year old...

Rear Sachs, not sure what you have seen but I wouldn't have thought so. Please share. Renault Parts Direct are a really good place to start if you do not have a good parts dealer close by. They can order in most things not on their website and generally the prices are pretty competitive.

Have you seen this thread? Not comprehensive by any means but some of the main parts you are likely to need. https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/clio-trophy-part-numbers.53897/

Steep? Maybe, but they are the original version and you will not see many more of these available. Also not too far off original price iirc. Not mine by the way :)

Please keep me in the loop as regards replacement, mine is not going to fall to bits but some bits bolt, nut have gone to rust.

And those prices were per side. The copies are supposed to be good but I’m glad I squirrelled away an Oe set a few years ago.

I did get out briefly this morning before it started to rain and as expected nothing on the clamp and I’m not going to even bother throwing out some guesstimate measurements as they will almost certainly be useless to you. Sorry.

The Facebook page seems a bit rudderless at the moment as someone else said they have been waiting to be approved. Only the one admin/mod in Audrey Larrive so it‘s maybe that she doesn’t check in that often anymore, though she used to be very active here and on other sites.

As a matter of interest, what was the club membership page that appeared earlier? An idea in the making?

The plates came up very clean after a bath of Deox and have sprayed with their Zinc, still pitted but I will get a decent enough finish. Not sure there is anything on the clamp but I’ll be underneath again tomorrow no doubt, so I will have a look.

Are they really that much? I had thought about replacing mine as I’m currently refurbing them and they are so pitted they resemble Swiss cheese. Not sure about the clamp but if you find a replacement I would be interested to know.

No stupid questions and all that.......... No they are not sided. Just make sure you buy the correct version, I wasn't very clear earlier, you will need the units with a shorter travel so the back of the rear wing does not contact the roof when the hatch is fully open.

"But" not "Boot." Very old slow MBP.
