    What Lies Beneath…

    I thought it would be a good idea to get the Clio cleaned, treated and waxed at my local specialist who are SubZero in Worcestershire. I’ve had dry ice cleaning done before and it’s amazing. We all know that older French cars like to dissolve, so I wasn’t that surprised to find this little treat...

    Leaking door card.

    I had the Trophy out in the rain for the first time since the respray and glass replacement today. Actually having Michelin Pilot Sport 5’s fitted all round. That’s another story.

I also swapped the twisted dog bone bush set for a Powerflex set (yellow). Lee at The Renault Specialist in West Bromwich adjusted...

    Engine Mounts

    Can anyone recommend an after market engine mount set? I’ve looked at Powerflex These are available from EBay. My lovely Clio has an aftermarket Miltek exhaust which knocks between first and second and on start up . It’s not too bad over 30mph and higher gears but it’s annoying me. I’ve...

    New mats and a dry airbag for 327

    I’m very pleased to say that I think I’ve managed to get rid of the sticky feeling to the airbag with the help of a Mr Siga magic sponge and some Isopropyl. I know it may come back in time… The rest of the car is very tidy. The only other new addition is some Renault Sport mats, which may or may...

    Road Trip Research

    I’ve spent a few days in the south of France this week. All I kept boring my wife with was “definitely bringing the Trophy next year!” Highlights were Route Napoleon from Castellane to Grasse and the road over the Gorges du Verdon. These roads were made for the Clio Trophy! The Billabong made me...

    Hello! I’m a new owner and member based in Worcestershire. I love my new Trophy, which I picked up from Michael in Lancashire earlier this week. Can anyone suggest a specialist for servicing in the Midlands or even better Worcestershire? I’m going to fit new tyres. I hear good things about...
