I rarely look at for sale/auction adverts but 14 owners on this one jumped out.
Is that fairly unsurprising in 20 years, or do you think it would put people off?
Thanks guys. It was a rather expensive bill but imagine my surprise when I tried to settle and it had already been paid as a gift from my parents 😍
In my head I thought I’d read somewhere that for the covers it was a minimum order of 500 units or something daft.
Cheers for the link Ed 👍
Took a trip to BG today to pick up my refurbished dampers.
Some time ago I was gifted a pair of the clear plastic adjuster covers, which I put somewhere “safe”. Can I find them?
I don’t suppose anyone has a spare pair they could either post or bring to Wales for me, pretty please?

Alex runs AW Motorworks in Great Bardfield.
Mick runs Diamond Motors in Long Eaton nr Nottingham.
I’ve not used them personally but if I was closer I’d have absolutely no hesitation to use either based on the reviews I’ve read of their work.
ET38.5 is the offset for the 172 Cup.
Trophy offset is ET45 I think.
Still a good option though without adding spacers. It’s been a while since I’ve bought some new wheels… damn you Nick 😜
…has a single person owned?
I’m sure people have sold, regretted it then bought another.
I’m aware of at least one person that currently owns two.
But who has owned the most??? Anyone owned three or more different Ts in the last 20 years?
Got to work, turned the page and am greeted by a very shiny #63, looking good @NickReilly063 👍
It’s only March and this calendar is a gift that keeps on giving, thank you again!
Isn’t it like anything? If you want it, you decide if the price is worth paying or not. And in making that decision you’d also have to consider the availability/supply of the exact product you desire and the ease of purchasing it, vs alternatives which might be close but not an exact match...
A couple of Trophys spotted at the RenaultSport Wiltshire meet at Podium Place, alongside an M3 CSL, GT3 RS, NSX and a few other equally nice cars.
@Crookster - was one of them 278?
You’re not wrong, it’s a classic.
One of my favourites is the stretch between Forge just outside Machynlleth, south east to Llanidloes. It’s such a varied 18 miles that’s equally good in both directions, with awesome views along the way.
Lovely idea, I’m all for it.
I wouldn’t take any out, but I’d add the one in (perhaps September) of multiple reds at the Elan Valley.
Loads of us have got that same shot but maybe @SharkyUK has the best original image?
We all love our Trophys but how many of us crave the true OEM look? Generously let’s call it 10% of 500.
Then look at non-Trophys and I can’t imagine another 50 owners would be interested, these are after all an incredibly talented hot hatch but at the budget end of the market where most folks...
Congratulations Stephen, fantastic result.
It was a pleasure to have met you in Wales all those years ago and since, please pass on my best to Jackie. All the very best for you both, and to the family (M & H et al).

Some alternatives for consideration…
ARM in Newbury. Andy Reid was a Renault master tech with decades of experience and often has a Trophy (or few) in the workshop. He used to run a Megane coupe with F4R and Sadev sequential box, alongside his 205 rally car. Great guy.
Select Motorsport in...
I’m on some dreadful groups where I question whether any members have a double-digit IQ, but this is a lovely place to be. Perhaps it’s the limited numbers, perhaps the desirability of the “Trophy experience” that brings pure and like-minded individuals. I know many friendships have started here...
Apologies, Rojer, been here years and I wasn’t aware paid membership was a thing, my mistake.
I’m sure @Nik will either be able to assist or guide you to someone that can.
