Today that is. Who is it this time?

Still looking thinking of getting a trophy but after having a look around the 197's are only a little more expensive, and newer model therfore less depreciation more warranty and newer model e.t.c. Anyone have any experience witht eh 197 and how it rates to the trophy? Although i suppose the...

Stock looks quite neat all lined up here. Tell your friends! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/list ... nodays=150

Popped along to have my Paradas fitted this luncheon time. All was going well & the lads were being extra careful with my wheels so not to mark them. A guy turned up to pick up his Lambo wheels having just been fitted with fresh rubber, anyways he managed to knock one of my wheels face side...

Hi, I will try with this interesting variant about the topic of Matt X2C. I hope someone has this kind of pictures or he will do some pics, although in UK and Switzerland the clima is not like in the caribean ;) Another time sorry for my bad English ;) bye Luca

Trophy 474 - i'm the second owner of this car which now has 16000 miles on it. Serviced recently and has also recently been PC'd which has brought the paintwork up as new - http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3648 contains the info and pictures of the work carried out. You all know...

:?: Hello peeps, i need some advice. I have a rather boring 03 plate renault kangoo van for work which im happy to say will be going at the end of next month. I have wanted a clio for the past 6 years, ever since my brother in law had an old 172. I am torn between a trophy or a black 182? I love...

F*ck me, WHAT an engine! :shock: And gearbox for that matter. It's more torquey than Type-R lumps of old and still has the same mental top end. The gearbox is so much better than a Clio's and the razor sharp throttle response / lack of engine inertia means heel 'n toe changes are...

Looking into possibly setting up an exhaust group buy and i've already spoken with a retailer who will try and help us out with regards to discounts. Basically the idea is in its infancy and first we would have to establish how many people are definitely interested and what products they would...

seen it a couple of times whe I pick the misses up. they look so cool!!

I have a decat and a Janspeed cat back exhaust and lately the Trophy backfires (pops and bangs) on a cold start. Does anyone else get this or is mine the first? I have noticed the exhaust sounding louder when driving so it maybe that the stuffing from the box has almost gone completly... hence...

Is it just me or does anyone else get treated like a total tw*t whilst driving their trophy? On numerous occasions i have been driving the trophy well within the speed limit and have been abused by pedestrians, to whom it must appear i'm travelling much faster than i actually am. It happened...

Az ne1 fitted 19"s to da Tropyh dey drive? My m8 rekons dat if I fit 'em to ma new Torphy den we'll be able to beat dat bitchin' new Subaru fing. I ain't so sure, tho', I fink dat da wheelz mite stop me from doin' burnouts 'n' stuff. Ma old car (pigs took it away) woz well rapid once I fitted da...

Hello all, I'm David and I'm thinking of getting a Clio Trophy. :) I currently drive an Audi TT Quattro Sport (that I've only owned for six weeks!) and before that I had a Ford Focus RS. I keep reading about how great the Trophy is and it's gradually drawing me in. I suspect I could have a...

In fact its probably more of a commuting dilemma, anyway - lets say you were the kind of person who commutes to work and uses the car as a bit of a toy for evenings and weekends and only does around 3-4 thousand miles a year. You have also just bought a new car after searching for ages to find...

Anyone recommend a company near Leics/notts?? Also what are the settings supposed to be?? Just want to get mine checked over ready for track day.

Anyone know any info on this car please ? Its at my local renault dealer (ware garages) and looks like a good example. 1 owner, 20k miles and left totally standard. Its advertised for 12k which seems a bit high but they are offering a good trade-in price on my current 1.2, which is swaying me...

do the 182 rear seats split 60/40, as it drives me mad that the Trophy one's don't when I occasionally need to put them down. Does anyone know if the leather 182 rear seats are a straight swap, I suspect they are. How much might I pay for a set and what about door cards I've heard those...

Its time for some new brake pads. I was going to get some Feroda DS2500's but I'm struggling to find these. Has anyone any experience or opinions on the Mintex Extreme range? I can get these from our local motor factor.I don't intend using the car on track days, I just want some good all round...

It's a feature of the Trophy that's often forgotten, correct me if I'm wrong but it is unique to the Trophy right? Or was it an optional extra on the late FF 182's? Anyway, does anyone still use theirs? I used to use it a lot when I first got the car to keep my license but I don't think I've...

Hi all I have finally defected from being a Williams owner to owning Trophy number 299. Only done about 200 miles so far and the clocks still only on 600 miles...... Speak to you all soon, Matt.

Lovely condition throughout. 16400m and two owners. Drives really well and only sold due to previous owner going abroad for a while. There's a trend here! Offered at £11495 Will update with actual photos soon, but for now I can be contacted via a pm or here...

My run in the UK is over on Monday and I'm returning to Vancouver via Beijing via the Trans Siberian railway via Moscow. While I didn't get out and about to meet as many of you as I'd of liked, I just wanted to say a general thanks to the folks associated with (and importantly running and...

Hey guys! After a really easy and pleasant sale with Dallas (duffer) I am now the proud new owner of #154, woohooo! (Cheers Dallas - top guy!) Thanks to everyone for their help with pointing out cars that were for sale and for giving me assistance with things to look at. :) Trophy...

This topic is going to affect every one of us in one way or another, and most of us directly, so please take the time to read it and go online to sign the petition. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying...

I'm off 20th to represent work in a few competitions then hopefuly for another 3 weeks in March, can't wait. Off to Saalbach in Austria just for a week on the 20th Jan, trying to extend it for 2 weeks!

Would first like to say hello! :D Second, anyone know the history of the above trophy? cheers!

In alter-ego 'cardealer' mode - I have #223 in stock. 55 plate and 18250 miles, in good condition throughout. Self-reg plus one private owner and serviced by Rentech on schedule in addition to an extra oil change at 6000m. Priced at £10995 - open to some discreet negotiation around this...

Been wondering how many ladies like myself are trophy owners? Seems that some of the guys aren't sure who are ladies: check out my aston martin post under cars today! C'mon ladies speak out! :D Edit - added the Poll for you, Steve Gunnis
