Tonight i went to the BP garage in shiremore, northeast, as i left i hit a pot hole on the exit of the forecourt, it felt like i had ran over a horse. Got about 300m down the road and knew a had a flat tyre, stopped and used 2 cans of tyre foam which just managed to get me home. On inspecting...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on selling my Trophy.. I spoke to allvehicles.co.uk and they offered me £8k. Also went into Renault DSG Morecambe and after being asked if it was a 172 or 182 three times and several references to it being called a cup(!) they offered me...

A few weeks ago when driving home I managed to do the impossible and spin the Trophy!! I was on a road with little grip and was unfortunate that it was very cold, damp and signs of somekind of oil type fluid on the road. As I spun the car I hit the kerb which forced the rear wheel under the car...

Hi, Im new so go easy on me please :) I'm 17, and have a 05 1.2 clio...Completely standard I have just had it valued at £5000 ish.. Now ive had a look around for a 182, with around 50k on the clock and there in the region of £6000, so I could afford one Confused.com gave me...

Hey folks, I think I'm aware of every Trophy for sale in the UK at the moment (whether it be pheads, eBay, autotrader, forums) but if anyone knows of any sitting around - outside of the internet browsing world - looking for a new home, do let me know.

Hi guys, Ive just bought Trophy number 266, Im a very happy 20yr old, unfortunetly I wont be insuring her for another 2 weeks until i hit 21, so she will be parked in the garage for whats going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life. Ive been interested in the Trophy since it was released in 05...

Ello all, Well I'll do a brief intro to me ..then get to the point! 1st rung on the Clio ladder was a used 51 reg 172 and I loved it! But because I read EVO magazine, and am swayed by their road tests... I traded the 172 for a brand new 172 cup. I had the 172 Cup for about 2 years...

Waitrose car park, Wallingford. As you probably all know i'm not the 197's biggest fan but actually in the flesh i quite liked this.

the only modification to my trophy so far is an ITG which was already on it im looking to go for a new exhaust ive looked into miltek but price is an issue as my funds are a bit limited at the moment just wanted some tried and tested comments or opinions on which is the most useful to go for...

Just got back from fitting Maxogen & Yozzasport exhaust. Errrr, yes dear it is louder :-w [-X [-( :-w I'll get some photos up later, just need to level exhaust out & fit new rear rubbers :roll:

Will be a shame to see it go, but its just now with the westie as my fun car its just not worth the insurance costs for me to drive this more or less only to and from work 5 or 6 days a week. 30,000 miles, Modified to an excellent spec, includes T800 PHY private plate obviously still in...

Got to be honest, been lurking quite a lot on here and you all seem a good bunch of lads. Anyway, here's some info on my car, I'll list the current spec in the first post and then I'll follow up how I've changed her since buying her last August. She's for sale by the way, and I may be...

Might sell if the price is right. Would accept £11,200. Current mods and pics: http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=49193 ICE build in progress, should be finished soon: http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=48239 Me and one previous owner since...

Hey guys, Wonder if anyone can give me some pointers regarding booking snowboard hire/lessons/accomodation in the French Alps - who to book with? I was thinking about going to Val D'isere - I ski'd there before whilst I was at uni... Comments on alternative resorts - recommendations? Looking...

A question for those of you who have had a car written off or just those who happen to know – how do you go about agreeing the settlement? – Do you have much sway with the value that they give you for the car or is it basically in the hands of the thieves, oops, I mean...

Heres some pics of Rou our wicked red vts. Rou short for rouge (red in french) Had her a week now, shes had a new battery, new wipers, 4 new tyres, new bulbs, new number plates and had a good clean

lots of people are running 15's with semi slick's i.e. R888's, but anyone tried full slicks yet? just something i have been thinking about today after a trackday yesterday! if so, where can you buy slicks? looked on google with not much luck!

Just got my renewal from AA was £369 with £350 excesses now £447 with £450 excesses . Went on confused .com and got £350 no voluntary excesses just theirs which is £200 with esure Any one had dealings with them .

Just wondered if anyone has experienced a Performance box or Driftbox (from VBOX). They are a GPS device which tells you current speed, acceleration/braking times, laptimes etc. I fancy buying one but it's a bit pricey really. I imagine they would be good for measuring performance...

im thinking of spending some money on the trophy and was wondering if a de cat and induction kit would be beneficial, ive already got a janspeed exhaust system and wanted a little more response and sound. has anyone got these mods and are you happy with them? many thanks :D

Hi all, Considering a new exhaust system for the Trophy. I want a manifold back with sports cat system - but main concern being how loud it is. I wan't it to be as quite as possible. Can anyone recommend systems they have/heard and point me in the right direction. Thanks Hon

OK, have been lurking for a while and am ready to buy a car, I have 8k to spend ready in the bank so really I expect I am looking at a 182 with Cup Pack(s) but I thought I would try on here to see what a Trophy goes for nowdays. I am not after a flaming for insulting the value of the Trophy...

Well, it hasn't been long in my hands and already I've decided that it's time to be a bit braver! I got married a couple a months ago as many of you know, and bought the R26 to replace my beloved Trophy #185. Having realised that I've probably only got a couple of years left to be utterly...
