Anyone any idea how the gearknob comes off, does it simply unscrew?
Ive never really liked the clios plastic gearknob and fancy swapping it for a nice leather momo one or something similar. With it being a lift up reverse the choice of suitable gearknobs is a bit limited - anyone changed theirs?
... probably more direct at Nik this as he's the brake specialist but any idea if these are any good?

What has anyone done to upgrade the sometimes less than enthusiastic brakes on a Trophy. For road use, not trackday. Need to feel like they are stopping the car. Thinking Brembo Hi Carbon discs, Ferodo pads (model type?) Braided hoses etc.
I'm too lazy to search through the archives - is there a quick answer to the right brake pacakge for the front of the Trophy?, I will probably only do 2 or 3 trackdays a year.
Thanks!
My brother and i are off to the Nurburgring in early November.
Going to be hitting the 'ring hard for 2 days straight and was just wondering how people reckon the trophy will deal with this punishment on the car and the brakes especially?
I'm lucky enough to own a CSL but really wanna take the...

I was hoping the Trophy Brakes would be like my old 172 but alas they are crap like the 182 with no bite and quick fade.
has anyone put...
We all know that Renaultsport will release a Cup version of the 197 in a years time or so, along with a hundred or so other packs and variants but will they relesase a Trophy version, perhaps at the end of it's run?
If so, what would people like to see in the Trophy version? I'll start...

At the moment I'm running standard discs and pads with up-rated fluid and hoses.
I'm looking to upgrade the front pads for my trip to Abbeville in France with easytrack next month and have pretty much decided on the Ferodo DS2500.
Is it also worth changing the discs at the same time for...
There's a hole in the forum topics... after the Clio's there's only Other Marquees to put car stuff...what if someone wants to talk about the Scenic? :P

Just interested as its a "special" anyhow...
