Ive noticed something when i break going round a medium corner at around 70 -80mph...not a harsh break a general one, the back end swings up and makes me very nervous to thrash the fiesty beast.....dosent do it as much on right handers. i never noticed befor but i had a full set of £65 budget...
Just been to Gower for the Easter Weekend, driving around some amazing roads between Gower and Swansea, rounded a corner only to spot another Trophy parked up next to the road. I parked alongside and took a picture and hoped the owner might pop out for a chat but no show. Very Lucky living in...
Sure this one wasn't you Steve. On my way to work this morning about 7:20. Coming from maldon. Does that mean there are three in Essex. One more for the meet, if i can only spot him again and leave details of the site.
Feel better now after a few beers and hoping the chap from Dent Devils can restore my doors as new on Monday!
If I did this to someone elses car i would leave my number on their windsreen. Am i in the minority group for being good citizen or just too stupid / honest?
I'm not washing it...

I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people!
I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...
Juat a :idea: Anyone interested in popping one of these in their Trophy? Stop all that mid corner drifting and wheelspin?
What's the chances of getting a few of us together to try and knock the price down a bit? Seeing as they're over a grand without fitting. :roll:
Anyone have experience with fk coilovers?
Ive seen these

And they look like a great price. The handling in the next area on my cup i wanna attack as the apex springs on at the mo are rubbish!
Any suggestion would be greatly accepted...
Mentioned about this in another xbox 360 thread. On Pistonheads we do a race aginst the clock each week. Last week was Back to the sun in any E class car.
This week is the 1/2 nurburg f1 circuit in any C class car. If your interested in having a laugh then give it a try. Add my gamertag...
Should have put this on the seat belt topic but never mind . My wing mirror whistles and i have plugged the hole in the bottom but still there only goes when i pull the mirror in . Any one know how to fix . There is also a lot of wind noise from the door .
Hi mate
Noticed from Cliosport that you live in Halton, Runcorn?
I'm just around the corner in Norton, would like to meet up to check out the Trophy some time!
Let me know mate

Friend of mine has spotted another 05 Trophy in Brighton not 200 yards from my place. He drove all the way up the road flashing the guy from behind thinking it was me before he clocked the different plate. Sorry if this was one of you guys! Looked pretty filthy by all accounts so nothing like...

I'm now planning on keeping my Trophy long term, but find I miss some of the toys from my old M3, in particular hands-free Bluetooth phone connection and Sat Nav with TMC.
I’ve been looking at different stereos systems with Sat Nav available on the market but very few are available...

With so many of us likely to buy Michelin Exalto 2 tyres as replacements for the ones already on our Trophy's, I thought it may be useful to start a thread with location/prices for the aid of all of us.
So as the first entry I have found Exalto 2s at:

Credit where credit is due.
I have been very impressed by Renault London West. They serviced and fully valetted my car in 3 hours, gave me a coutesy car in the interim (albeit a little dirty inside) and called me promptly to advise the car was ready: all on a Saturday.
I bought a demo car...
