You are sadly correct. Oh well! :( it was fun while it lasted...

I have got a halfords touch up kit, specifically made for the Trophy's "capsicum" red paint. I have used this once to touch up a microscopic mark on my car, but now that i have sold it i still have this left over. Cost a tenner from Halfords, only after a fiver for it now! Anyone need it...

Typically, just as my car goes out of warranty, the alternator packs up! I have looked at euro car parts and they want a criminal £223 quid for a new one. Does anyone know a good place to get a reconditioned one, or has anyone got a spare they would like to sell? Also, is the alternator from...

It is worth the purchase, it is a double page spread about the trophy / 197 cup and there is quite a big article about Clio V6 vs other "nuts" cars (like that crazy turbo beetle rsi, mental nismo micra and so on). It is a good read.

If i can just throw my hat in the ring too: >It seems you have missed the point of these cars if you mention "one touch window controls" but neglect to mention Handling" and steering feel in your review. >Grip and handing are 2 very different things. >I am happy to say that i have driven...

It is short, but sweet. The magazine also has a feature on the clio V6 so is worth the purchase anyway!

absolutely. Brilliant write up. But then i would say that... :oops: :P

I have just received this month's copy of Performance Car magazine and there is a little review of the Trophy vs the a 197 cup! :D check it out (it should hit the shelves of WH Smiths in the next few days i guess). I would scan a copy but i don't have a scanner or the know how to put it on...

It was a 997 - one of their current press cars (the RHD silver one in all of the press shots) I work for Caterham Cars as the Marketing Co-ordinator. A lot of what i do is taking cars to press events and liaising with the journos. On this particular day i had taken our new Superlight R500 to...

actually, it was yesterday now - don't know why i wrote that title!

At 194mph! (not on the road of course - at bruntingthorpe) You know a car is fast when it gets the traction control light flashing when you change into 4th gear at 130mph... With my job i have experienced extremely fast cars all the time, but have never had a real chance at a high speed run...

Right, had a bit of an accident involving a 5 litre bottle of Comma's finest 5w/40 motorsport oil emptying itself into the boot of my car. Bugger. After trying to soak it up with rags and driving around for a few weeks with a permanent headache i have spent several hours using every detergent...

This is so odd - i was going to post almost exactly the same thing to the letter! I ordered both keyring and sticker well over a month ago - sticker arrived after a couple of weeks, still no sign of the keyrings. Can someone confirm that my order was recieved for them? (i ordered 2 - cant...

Marketing Coordinator for Caterham Cars. Basically responsible for all UK and some overseas marketing of the 7 sports car. This includes looking after the website, mar-comms, liaising with all the motoring press, looking after the press fleet, managing the brand development, event organisation...

Ah, A man after my own heart, i love R400's. Let me know if i can ever do anything to help you out with your seven - i work for Caterham! I am due to be driving the Levante in the next couple of weeks, should be interesting. I look after all of our press cars and i have to say, the new R500...

So i took my trophy to the ring this weekend to give it a bit of a shoeing! It was really good all round, i go over to the ring quite often and am getting to the point where i know my way about now so i could really stretch it's legs and embarrass some more powerful and exotic machinery -...

RESULT! i have just managed to get the stereo code . Finally! Haven't driven the car yet, but i have just remembered that that stereo makes other parts rattle if you turn it up too much!, has anyone upgraded their standard speakers and found this to make it worse, or is it the actual speakers...

I don't know if i am alone on this, but it strikes me after a week into the ownership of my Trophy that it has a ridiculous amount of squeaks, rattles and squeaky rattles! The problem is probably emphasized by the fact that i am driving around in "silence" whilst i wait for a stereo code, but...

D'oh - in the guide it said to do so! I seem to have the only manual without the stereo code written in it! It definitely is not there.

I can't seem to stop running into issues with my car this week. Right, successfully swapped the stalk without too much hassle. Then reconnected the battery and the stereo asked for a code... which it appears i dont have anyway in any of the 5 or so books, guides and manuals that renault...

Why do i always do these things at such bad times! Decided to "quickly" do the wiper stalk conversion to my trophy as it is raining and the stalk arrived this morning. I have searched the forum, printed off the guide but despite half an hour of wrestling i just can't get the cowling from under...

ahh, i thought that they may be heavier or something. Cheers, James

I am buying some new PE2's for the front of my car and have found some decently priced ones on black circles. Now, they have both "v" rated and "w" rated tyres on there - and there is only a quid difference in price. Which should i go for? Thanks for your help! James

If there was a "penny's dropped" smiley i would use it! Thanks,

I have had a quick search and can't find any details about how i can get one of these window stickers for number 264! Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Hello! Just a quick hello, i have just bought Trophy number 264. No doubt i will be picking your brains and asking all kinds of questions in the coming weeks as i get to know the car. my first challenge is to replace the dog sh1t, misery spec front tyres that the previous owner decided in his...
