ownership

Just picked up #319 yesterday from Aberdeen! I live in Edinburgh, iv only had the car for a day but i love it to bits already. Some snaps after a clean today - off my phone so doesnt show up the shineyness :D Great forum guys!!

i noticed a guy on RS with a 197 posting details of a battery change he had done... hes fitted a "red top" racing battery in his 197 an looks like hes saved a load of weight in doing so... so it got me wondering...i havent heard of this being done before and wondered what if any the negative...

I ve seen 50 for sale and spoke to seller today. It's had three owners, does anyone have any knowledge of this vehicle please? Cheers

Hi guys, I'm going to look at No. 382 on Friday and if all goes well I'll bring her home on the same day. I've noted some info below and would appreciate your thoughts please. September 2005 (55 reg) 1 Owner 40k miles Full service history with all receipts (12k and 36k done at Renault, 24k...

im thinking about getting a 182, so wy should i get a Trophy? Symon

2005 / 05 Clio Trophy I have decided to put my Trophy up for sale. I am the second owner of the car, and have owned it for around 7 months in which time the car has been entirely trouble free. The car has all the usual Trophy specifications and has no after market modifications, its completely...

Hi all, Its time to sell the trophy as i think ive grown up a bit (am now a old man at 25 :lol: ) and need something more refined. The trophy has not put a foot wrong in 25K so ive been very happy. Currently im looking at the focus st / golf gti ed 30 type area. Looking for size, power...

Although the Trophy being by far the best car i've ever owned, a pay cut at work, and the government putting my tax up, has left me in a position of considering selling up. I can afford the payments (just) but probably won't be able to afford to keep her the way she should be kept! As the...

Folks No 452 has now been moved on to another careful owner. I shall miss her she was one great car! been a pleasure meeting some of you guys and you have all been most helpful in answering my many queries. You wont get rid of me that easily.....i will still visit the site occasionally as i am...

So, who's heading off to the moutains again this coming season? I plan to return to Tignes for my 2nd boarding experience. Sadly this year I shall be going during Feb half-term as my girlfriend is accompanying us and she is now teaching.. Expecting the slopes to be totally rammed but hey, if...

Anyone going? It's on the 30th/31st(today/tomorrow) august at brands hatch I'll be taking 322 and parking on south bank, be good to see another Trophy as i've yet to see another since ownership!!

Does anyone know whether 182 Cup dampers will fit a Trophy? Reason I ask is that my nearside front damper has a loose remote reservoir and has leaked oil and is therefore shot. My car has done only 31000 miles. I've only a few days left of my warranty (end of Aug, great timing!!) and will try...

Evening all, I have just bought 093 today she seems to be a real lil beautie....i believe the previous owner was on here as well....just wanted to say hello....and shes in very very good condition a real credit to the previous owner in fact, hope to see some of you soon, im in Hampshire...

In my short time here (a week) I get the impression that trophy owners seem to be older and more mature than normal RS owners. Is this a fair assumption? For the record i'm 28 and pick 480 up tomorrow.

ive been a bit sad since i waved goodbye to my v6 a couple of years ago and since the purchase of the trophy i have always kept my eye out at the prices etc. The trophy has been an outstanding car and one of the best i have owned. I was browsing pistonheads last tuesday and spotted a 54 plate...

I don't know if i am alone on this, but it strikes me after a week into the ownership of my Trophy that it has a ridiculous amount of squeaks, rattles and squeaky rattles! The problem is probably emphasized by the fact that i am driving around in "silence" whilst i wait for a stereo code, but...

Hi All Am currently looking at buying a clio Sport. Money isn't so much an issue but was after some owner feedback on what model you would choose and why? The car will be mainly a weekend driver and I want some fun with some comfort. I will be tracking the car occasionally also. I know ppl...

as some of the trophys are now due there first mot i thought it would be good to see what miles everyones done in them. mines done just over 27,000 which isnt too bad for a nearly 3 year old car. bout average i think, anyone got a really high mileage one and any under 10,000 miles?

I spotted a Westy the same as the one you've been building up with two young gents in it that looked very pleased with themselves. It was just by the Shell garage just pasted Purley Cross. I was coming the other way in my RB 182. Was it you guys or was it a couple of other young gents...

Posted on behalf of someone - so direct questions to them! "I am selling my mums Clio Trophy and have had it on ebay three times but not had any luck. Do you know anyone looking for a nice unmolested one owner car which has never been driven hard OR near a track. We would consider any...

Hi everyone, Yesterday i went to see a Trophy (belonging to a member of this site) and was extremely impressed with it! I just have to wait until early next week to get my hands on it! (Bloody bank holidays! ;) ) I'm buying it to complement my other car, an S2000 which is supercharged and...

Anyone planning not selling their Trophy and keeping it mint for the long term. I had thought about selling mine and getting 8.5 plus but, On second thoughts a good Williams still makes 3k (1994) and my 1990 1.9 205GTI is worth 2k all day long. So 8500 today and keep it mint and it will...

Hi all , I have cracked the small black panel that sits along the front bottom bumper ! does any one know if you can still get them and how much before i spend time trying to glue it. And then still not doing it ! cheers

Hi all, I had 218 for just over a week and enjoying every moment of it. I had a Clio 172 previously a few years ago so have an idea of Clio ownership. In between then an now had an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and a BMW325i but needed something smaller and a little cheaper to run and of course to have...

As posted last week, my Trophy is now registered for sale Briefly, the car has covered 16200 miles and I am the second owner from 2000 miles. Never abused, raced, tracked and has been garaged and polished (professionally) regularly. No scratches, dent or marked alloys. Serviced by Rentech...

Hi guys Looking at changing my trusty gti-6 for something different and the Clio is one of the cars i'm looking at. I'd love a trophy but they are a bit over budget at the mo. The Cup looks the next best thing but has got me well confused. Is the cup a stand alone model or is it just...

i hope I have made the right decision :cry: .....I have now ordered a new 197 Cup (in white with satin black wheels).Delivery in six weeks.....astonishingly I have acheived £8990 :shock: for the Trophy in px with a small discount on the 197 cup.....but before I let it go, I would likel to...

So I have finally taken the plunge and bought the lovely number 435. 8) Many thanks to Steve (artdealer) for a great transaction, and I look forward to sharing more experiences with you as I get to know the car. Can't wait to get on some quiet roads. As an aside, can anyone recommend a...
