I am finally going to collect car number #478 tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any last minute advice? Obviously, I will check all the bodywork and tyres. I have been told that the car is in mint condition throughout. Thanks... V dot excited! 8) :lol:

dont get me wrong but we need to do something about the owner register.... its great having the whole forurm thing where we can post questions about our car,but the free access to the owner register raises questions... just say your car has some strange fault ...maybe it cuts out a few times...

Morning, Just wanted ur input as to what u think the Trophys are currently worth, mines got 13000 miles on a 55 plate. Had it's service early at 10k by renault and hasn't a scratch. She's only 9 months old and i'm the second owner. Prices seem to vary so much each time someone sells one...

I have an 05 Trophy that I am reluctantly looking to sell, I am relocating next month and alas cannot take the car with me. :( The car has done just under 5,000 miles. Due to the fact that I am looking for a quick sale, I would be looking to sell for £10,750. I have just had to put...

Hi I need to get a new windscreen fitted to my Trophy. I've spoken to my insurance company who have arranged with the RAC to come and fit a new one next Thursday. The trouble is the lady on the phone did not have a 182 Trophy on her list, I explained that the car does not come with rain...

Hi all, Went to Renault London West to book service #3 in and spotted a Trophy for sale. Can't remember the plate (think it was '05) but it had an RAC windscreen (replacement unit) and was priced at £12,999 with under 10,000 on the clock. Anyone from here? Also managed to sit in...

Seeing as 65 is upon us & new 197 is getting good reviews. What price should i, if very fortunate, be able to pick up a good example for????????? No px just cash sale.............. Cheers.

7,120 miles there is one on auto trader £12.495 and others for a lot less so what do you think is a fare price .

I think it will interesting to see how many owners have taken their Trophy's on track, or are planning to, this may be organised track days, airfields, private tracks, drag strips, race events or the Nurburgring. I'm going to be taking mine soon, so at the moment it's a track virgin... Edit -...

I had my first four wheel skid in the Trophy tonight, entered a quite tight (70 degree) corner at 50 mph, a corner I knew well with the 205, and one not to be messed with in the wet, and the bastards had put grit down on the road, the car slid nicely sideways a little bit and I was just flicking...

Am downsizing to pay for the rest of this season's racing and so selling the Trophy for funds. It's been a good experience, great car and staggered at how much running in it took before the engine loosened up and performance started to really appear. Now it's aproper little roller skate...

Hi, if anyone is in the market for a Clio Trophy (Nov 2005) i have one that i was thinking of selling, it's as new in every way i.e. no track days or stone chips etc and has done about 1500 miles in total. It has also had a paint guard system applied from new (cost about £200), looking for...

My car has just hit the 10k mark with no major problems at all (Touch Wood :? ) I cant belive that in 6months I have done so many miles. Good thing is later this year i am moving in with my Partner, which is only 10min walk from work, so during the week the car will be parked up and i will...

The recent posts about the types of chips/ecu that you can get for the Trophy has got me very interested in the subject. Trying to work out what is the best of the options available. The chips/ecu's I know about so far are as follows: Replacement ECU with R'sport map - The type that Nik...

Hi can any one tell me where i can get the clear film that you can put on to protect from stone chips . I noticed that a lot of crap collects on the front of the rear arch on my trophy .

Drove from Surrey to Cornwall late last night, popped in at a private test track on the way and notched up an indicated 141/142mph :) I had a slight decline in my favour, but I was very impressed with the ease that the Trophy showed in getting to around 135, but as you hit about 138 there...
