I've managed to change a number of things on my cars over the years, however, I'm stumped on how to remove the plates??
I assume they are just on sticky pads, but I'm worried the plates will snap if I pull too hard. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance from an ashamed mechanical genious!
Hi all, I'm new to the Trophy world. Used to own a 172 cup which I loved. Just bought my Trophy yesterday from a member.
I am interested in cleaning the seats but unsure what products to use on them? wouldn't want to damage them! also the seat belts are slightly grubby and could also be cleaned...
Its my birthday next month and im treating myself to a new exhaust (any excuse) but I cant decide which one to go for, Yozzasport or RS192?
Personally I love the sound of the Yozza but dont know whether ill be able to put up with the immense noise that it makes. Whichever one I buy will be a...
Treated 415 to a full detail and valet from Autowash Detailing (http://www.detailing-specialists.co.uk) last Friday. Really pleased with the finished job (had the WRX done too, and the guy managed to regenerate my oxidising boot spoiler). Then of course it went and snowed. Have not driven the...

Trophy spotted at the traffic lights turning right off Lillington Ave onto Kenilworth Road at around 7pm tonight. I drove past you in mine going straight ahead.
Hi all!!
It has been a while but I'm back! Well, not for long actually as I am relocating to Singapore in the next few weeks... so I need to sell my 350Z very very quickly, hence the crazy bargain basement price... cheapest int he UK like-for-like, bar none, with just 17.5k miles, and still...
as some of the trophys are now due there first mot i thought it would be good to see what miles everyones done in them. mines done just over 27,000 which isnt too bad for a nearly 3 year old car. bout average i think, anyone got a really high mileage one and any under 10,000 miles?
im dying to see what my trophy can do at the top end, i cant find anywhere that will let me do this, does bruntingthorpe or bedford autodome offer this?
Guys,
My car is permaguarded, thanks to Duffer987 and I continued this trend last year with the annual top up.
I'm now unsure as to whether or not to continue.. I went to the local Lotus specialist today , seeking a quote to tidy up the bodywork and remedy the result of my front bumper...

Spent the weekend polishing the Trophy, have been meaning to combat the swirls ever since it came out of Renault for some warranty work (forgot to ask them not to clean the car with a gritty sponge).
Not the best weekend, as I had to keep dodging all the rain showers . Had to finish up in the...
A BIG thanks to Matt
Not only did my order arrive quickly it also contained some unexpected but much appreciated extras (which I'm not going to disclose in case everyone starts whinging :D ) along with the his trade mark anglo bubbly bubble gum!

Hi Folks,
While driving my girlfriends Trophy for the first time in ages the other night I was doing maybe 80MPH when I changed from 5th to 4th & put the throttle to the floor. Lots of smoke came out of the exhaust - after double checking it (repeated the gearchange) the same thing happened...
Hi guys, As I was cleaning my engine bay the other day I noticed a small oil leak coming from the cam cover (front and back of engine), looks like ill have to change the gasket :roll: , the cars done 19,600 miles and in my eyes the gasket shouldnt be leaking already! Anyone else had this problem?
