I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

Can anyone recommend a good detailing firm in the Sevenoaks (west Kent) area? Would rather use someone that has been recommended. Found Valet-Tech in Dunton Green, but has anyone used them at all? 415 needs a good clean, as does the WRX

ok then just to add a bit of humuor to the forum... What is the most rediculess / stupid / unbelivable thing a dealer has ever done / said to yourself... i'll start with this one... when we bought my wifes R27 (ex demo) i asked the dealer to touch up a small scuff on the front wheel, in their...

Winter is well and truely drawing in and Im going to purchase some new bulbs for the Trophy. Having heard positive comments about silvervisions i am going to by a set. Could anyone tell me what type of silvervsion bulbs i need ie fit type as there are various codes and i dont know which one...

I've reduced my car fleet to just the trophy now, and an impending company car. So i've decided to allow myself to start modifying again! What have you all done to your trophies, and were the mods worth it? So far i've just fitted decent bulbs and a great stereo system. Just ordered a 172...

Somewhere between getting to work and going home someone has keyed the n/s rear quarter of my lovely trophy :( It's not too deep so i'm hoping that once i get my mate over with his paint depth gauge, udm, makita etc, he'll get it out and make it look like new!It's a large car park just for our...

Finally got around to taking some photos of the trophy. Had it for little over 2 months now. I have done quite a few bits since buying her, although I’ve tried to keep everything subtle yet effective. Modifications to date include; Milltek cat-back exhaust system New rear exhaust...

Hi Just thought I'd say hello as I'am abusing the for sale area. This is my car (yay) to be fair though it has been lightly detailed already by a person employed by the last owner. I hope to improve on the finish, but its looking pretty good already IMO. Quick Wash and Clean Snow foamed 3...

Hi, Just washed my car and noticed that the wheel bolts are loosing most of their coating. Does anyone know the part number as I think i'll replace all 12 with new ones rather than try and refurb them. I guess they were anthracite when new to match the wheels. Cheers All.

Hi I am wanting to spray my engine cover the same colour as my trophy, anyone done this if so what it look like and what paint????

Hello all, I am posting on here due to a serious problem I am having at the moment with Renault regarding the suspension on my Trophy. The front right damper has cracked causing it to leak and it therefore needs replacing. Unfortunately, both my dealership and Renault Customer Services have...
