Thought I'd share I had my steering wheel re trimmed as the original had gone the usual way of completly melting and looked
shabby even though my Clio Trophy has only 50K on the clock.
The colour of the wheel to the airbag looks slightly off but in real life its hardly noticeable.
Option is...
Anyone got any suggestions on a replacement steering wheel.
Ideally i would like it smaller and closer keeping controls and airbag.
As far as i can tell the only real replacement is from the clio 197/200.
Has anyone fitted an aftermarket wheel and managed to keep the controls.
Cheers
Would love to see this go to a decent home as I have put a lot of work and effort into it!

Since I withdrew from sale in 2011 (previous thread here with further details), #167 has done another 10K quick and reliable miles. Still puts a smile on my face with every drive and I hope it goes to a good home. Selling because we now have 2 other cars and the Trophy is not getting used...

Has anyone figured out a way to bring the standard steering wheel closer to them.
I'm thinking of trying to get a spacer made up to go bring the wheel closer to the driver. Is there anyone who has had there wheel off who would know if this is possible.
Cheers
P.S I apologize if I don't ever...

I have my old Trophy steering wheel for sale, it has perfect grips, but has melted around the rim as they all do. When I was looking for a re-trim it seems the grips being good makes a difference on the quality of the end result. It has the cruise control buttons fitted.

Hi all
I yesterday bought 7MAT's 182 Trophy yesterday. My other half wants the standard wheel bag on for safety (airbag).
should I disconnect the battery and reconnect and bolt on the original wheel and then reconnect the battery.
I am worried about connecting it incorrectly and then the...
Hi everyone. I recently purchased #151 from a very friendly Robert Evans from this forum. It need a few service issues addressed but I'm happy and it drives extremely well. I have been using the search function but I still have a few questions.

Morning guys,
I'm currently breaking my Trophy after it was involved in an accident a couple of months ago. Most of the exciting bits have gone (or sold pending collection), but I thought I'd list what I currently have for sale.
It had covered 91k, so unless stated, that's how many miles the...

Please can someone have a look under their centre console/ash tray at their airbag ECU and tell me both part numbers? I've tried to get this from a Renault but they don't seem to know what controls the airbags in a Trophy. Bizarre.
Item number: 290736770009
Selling my car on Ebay to buy a bigger motorbike.
Can you guys have a look and see if you would change anything?
Thank you ;)
I re-discovered Evo magazine’s raison d’être last weekend – the thrill of driving.
I bought my Trophy (#23/500) in early December. Its one previous owner had serviced it regularly but in most other respects it needed a dose of TLC including: refurbished front dampers; new exhaust; rear...
Hi All
Does anyone know the correct part number for the Trophy's speedline wheels and the steering wheel without the airbag as I would like to check them before ordering.
Many thanks
Pete
Removed from a 182 with cruise control, but should fit any model of Mk 2 Clio from 2001-2008 with or without cruise control. If your car doesn't have cruise control, just remove the buttons to allow your airbag to fit.
The steering wheel is in fantastic condition, one of the best I've seen...

I'm getting really irritated by the seat position in the T. The recaro's are not height adjustable like my 1.2 seats were. The steering wheel is as high as it will go and still my hand bashes my leg and gets in the way during sharp cornering.
Has anybody come across a way to lower the seat...
can anyone tell me where about the horn is in the engine bay? i wanted to try and clean the connectors, my horn works when the car is still but only when pressed on one side of steering wheel, but when moving, it never works. its quite annoying especially if someone is rolling back towards you...
The shell is a 2000 W road legal Ph1 shell with history, v5 etc. 72k (ish) miles, will have to check clocks. Cat C damaged years ago but kind of irrelevant now as stripped to a bare shell there is no damage.

I spent a useful afternoon in the garage today changing over the Recaro seats in my Trophy. Its done a few miles now and although the drivers seat is still very good, I thought I would even up the wear by swapping the seats over. hopefully this will extend their life somewhat as the drivers...
I've seen another racecar for sale so am breaking my unfinished racer. Pics of most things can be seen on my site HERE Anything specific just ask and i can get you pics and more details. Also i can fit any of the parts, just ask for a quote. Collection preferred from Carlisle for the big stuff...
Hi,
I am looking for a 172 steering wheel with an intact left thumbgrip (yes, I do mean left :) ). Other damage may also be allowed and I don't want the airbag.
Anybody?
Cheers,
Erik
