Regular stalker of this forum but never time to post T450 is all well (apart from CV boot clip fail) currently on 41k.
Anyway, whilst changing the front discs today I realised the T needed some TLC on her, so I plan to refurb the front dampers, new springs on front, lower wishbones, powerflex...
I'm looking to buy a set of 2118's as my turini's are shagged. But is it going to look like a moon buggy with the 15" wheels without lowering it? Or will I need lowering springs to avoid the puddle jumper look? Has anyone got a picture with the, on without the car being lowered?
Thanks.
I've owned #207 since September 12, having owned #383 before, so its about time for an update.
The car was in excellent condition when I picked it up and only needed a few bits doing!
New exhaust mounts fitted and AeroTwin wipers on arrival home.
I had ordered new set of Speedlines from...

Hi Everyone
Well time to sell my lovely Trophy. Due to family expanding due to children and depleting due to ex leaving me I can no longer afford to run her.
I have owned her since December 2010 and have only put a 10K miles on her.
Current milage 70,300, 3 Owners from new (a lot of history...

OK, here goes. No 125 up for sale.
I bought this car in 2011, have had great fun and am in two minds as to whether or not to keep her for life!
I have steadily added/renewed parts as I've gone along sorting out the usual clio issues and have receipts for all new parts and...
Just got this little lot,from BG and the local dealer.Its the credit card that's gone to the max :p
Note the new type fitting?no more schrader valve.
Modified spring platform to allow the crud out,gone from a 6mm single hole to 3 8mm holes
Those clever frenchies have put their parts...
Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question.
Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...
Hi All,
I have had a set of front dampers refurbed and im looking to replace the dust guards also to keep the crap out.
Renault dont sell them, has anyone found a good alternative ?
Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...
Does anyone have a standard cat back exhaust or rear sachs dampers that they are looking to get rid of for a small fee? I've got cup dampers on the back and would like to see if there's much difference and my exhaust is a little loud for my taste.

I recently read a promotion article for the new Clio 200 Turbo and was fairly disappointed tbh.
The new car will apparently only have a paddle shifting gearbox and not a manual gearbox. For this very reason I am put off and my interest with staying with the clio evolution of models is somewhat...
Hello all! After a flirtation with a 182 some time ago I have decided it is time to investigate the best of the breed and have just become the new owner of Trophy #051.
Seemingly the first item I will need to attend to is a refurb of the distinctly tired Sachs dampers and have already spoken...
Recently purchased from Feirny for both the Bedford trackday on Saturday 16th (where it performed absolutely faultlessly, & allowed me to have a flipping awesome day!!) and to replace the R32, I’ve now been informed that a Clio is not really suitable for work/car allowance purposes anymore. As...
I'm Selling My 182 Trophy due to having a new baby and need something bigger, it's No 37/500 it has 1 previous owner, I bought it in Sept 2008 from allvehicles.co.uk it had done 55k, it's now just under 93k. Since I've had it its been well cared for garaged and used weekends, regularly cleaned...
As stated i am selling my front sachs dampers. They do require a refurb hence the price.
£300 and buyer covers costs of postage which should be reasonably cheap.
I will be putting these on ebay on tuesday if i do not find a buyer
O
What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process.
Thanks.
Hi all, looking to join the most discerning of hot hatchers and have £5k with which to do so. Must have had dampers and belts done and be on no more than 60, 000 miles. I'm in London but will travel.
