Picked up my Trophy from Lookers Renault in Chester on Saturday, traded in my Black R27 after 16 months of ownership. Always wanted a Trophy and this one seemed to be just right, decent price, low miles(26,000), 3 month main dealer warranty.
After collecting it i went for a play in North...
time may be up for #356
just recently got married and possibly 356 may now be a little to small for our needs. The wife has her heart set on me getting a 330CI or 330 convertible, cos it looks "posh", and i was thinking of going for a 230 R26.
BUT....... the question I want to throw out there...

I have a swiss trophy and the previous owner removed the standard recaros to fit bucket seats.
I am now considering taking the buckets out and fitting the recaro seats again (the buckets won't pass the ultra stringent Swiss version of an MOT which is due soon).
However, the Swiss edition came...
Hey, basically the boot is always locked and cannot be opened, doesn't make any noise when locking / unlocking the car. Just had a little search through previous topics and seen that others have had similar problems, however no-one has come back and said how they have fixed this.
Any help much...
I know there are quite a few threads on rattling seats so I'm lazy and i'll just ask from the horses mouth! I noticed the other day there was quite constant annoying rattle coming from the passengers. On closer inspection i sourced where the rattle was coming from. Its coming from the side...
Looking for one or both of the Headlamp Washer Covers for the 182 Trophy or 172 Cup.
They are both located on the front bumper.
These are little plastic pieces that cover the hole for where the headlamp washers would be on other RS Clio models.
Lost one of mine at Bedford Autodrome on Friday...
Does anyone know - or know of a link to - the differences between the 182 Cup, 182 Cup Pack, and the 182 Trophy? I've got a vague idea but by no means certain.
Cheers.

Hi,
I've got a couple of questions about the clutch/gearbox on my Trophy and I wanted to see if anybody else had experienced the same things.
1. Being able to beat the synchro in 5th gear sometimes? This has only happened really occasionally, but there have been times where I've changed from...
I am looking to buy a Trophy and wonder does anyone have knowledge of car No. 232/500?
I went to see this car yesterday at a local used car dealer and have a few concerns. The dealer is fitting new rear discs and shockers due to wear and tear (fairly common at this milage I understand) however...

Thought I would share some original pictures from the launch of the Trophy of what doesn't seem that long ago now.
Looking at these I would love a brand new Trophy :mrgreen:
Does anyone else have any pictures of the launch at all?
After struggling to get tyres lately i phoned kwik fit for a laugh.
Told them that i was phoning around for pe2's and the best price i could get was £100 per tyre all in and could they beat it.
They only offered me them £99 each on their price match scheme a massive £51 saving per tyre...
Hello all, im new to this forum and im thinking of getting a clio trophy so thought it would be a good idea to register! at the moment my daily drive is a 106 gti which has been fantastic so can anyone tell me if the clio will be just as fun do drive? and also how hard/easy would it be to tune...
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!
One of the small steel brackets holding the ECU in place has cracked. Is there a fix? Its a Group N ECU which I got from GDI a few years ago, should I just have a word with them? Thanks for any help.
Due to work commitments, i'm sad to say the T's gotta go!
I will post the pistonheads link on here once it becomes live!
Any questions, feel free to message me!
