after spending £100 last year on better gear, moving to meguirs, i've now discovered the internet's detailing world and spent another £100 on more clobber that you can't buy in Halfords! Bad on my finances but the T will benefit tremendously!

ive been rather lazy these 3 or 4 weeks as i havent given the t a clean. i managed to give it a little wash (in the rain), so looks ok but i want it looking in a showroom condition, specially after all the snow,grit we've had. is there anyone who knows and uses one of these mobile car valeters...
Am wanting to spend a day on 007 in the next few weeks, a kind of 'spring clean' that i put all of my car through in Feb/March, especially now the roads seem a bit tidier after all the kacky weather.
I valeted professionally for 6 years, but that was about 5 years ago now so i am a bit out of...

success!! deffinate improvement, however i have a few questions.
reinforcement ? the turrents are real weak has anyone reinforced the turrents in anyway.
finally rust, how have you coated the newly drilled holes?
thanks guys.
Think thats what there called! need both of them on the drivers side if possible, and just the one on the door on the passengers side. As mine have a few scratches on them! and instead of getting them painted - might be cheaper getting some 2nd hand

Seeing as my insurance is up for renewal in Feb, i thought i'd best have a quick look around to see what is what. I am currently with privilege, 5 pts (an indiscretion remaining from when i was 19 in my old Clio 1.4RT en route to a festival), 24 now, employed, 6yrs NCB and i think (monthly) i am...
Random question... How often do you carry more then 2 people in your T?
Maximum people I carry is 3 as the leg room is non existent behind the driver and I don't think anyone would want to sit in the back on top of the Orb! But I also remember seeing a photo a few years back of someones rear...
Hi,
Just got my sachs back from being refurbished and I would like to repaint them as they have a couple spots of surface rust (unsuprising really). Anybody done this themselves? if so what did you use and and how did you do it?
Cheers
Anyone have any ideas what polish would be best to use on the red paint? I know that red has a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to fading and I really don't want that to happen. I've used the t-cut colour polish and turtle wax equivalent previously (on other cars) and I've also used...
Hi all,
After picking up the Trophy about 2 weeks ago now, I've finally had time to start a Trophy #383 thread after driving with a :mrgreen: everywhere
So here are some pics that I took when I first got the car home:
then I gave the car a good wash/wax after coming back from Sherbourne...

I was never a fan of the 4 different type faces that were on the outside of the Trophy, ie Renault, Sport and Clio on the tailgate, and then Trophy on the side skirts.
Emma, my g/f works for http://www.dread.cc as a designer, she has done many of the Pistonheads T-shirts, stuff for Lamborghini...
I have painted the trim strip above the glove box and the gear knob cap bit (love these lego cars) but cant get the steering wheel trim cap bit off. anyone know how?
if anyone has any good ideas for pieces to paint or photos of their painted interior bits please let me know.
cheers Cam
With the imminent arrival of my new car the time has come to sell my beloved Trophy. :(
Will "officially" go on sale next weekend, but I'm putting it up here first. Decent pics will follow then, for now these are from the day before the Gaydon meet a fortnight ago, since when I've used it...
Hi,
I'm the new owner of Trophy No.243 T9PHY which I collected today after some fraught negotaiting with Renault dealer who had it. I know it was owned by a member on here who I contacted before buying it, and I thank him for his information.
It's my new daily runner to replace my late spec...
All,
Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed:
It's had:
36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done -...
It's time for another Opie Oils competition!
In something of a reprise of our competition back in June, we're giving away over £150's worth of cleaning, polishing and detailing products... but this time you stand more chance of a prize because there's the added bonus of 3 runners up prizes...
Hi, interested in buying your old car.
In fact going to see it in a couple of days.
Just wondering if you have anything good or bad to say about it.
The current owner said you took good care and is infact a good un.
Anyone know anything about it please?
was wondering if you can get a few things that I need to getting it looking perfect
1) Were there any trophy car mats made, or just the regular renaultsport clio ones?
2) Can you get the transfers for the wheels, the speedline turini ones. Mine must've had a refurb and they're missing from the...

Hello ! 8)
Thought I would start a thread for all those who are about to get their Trophy's Remapped by Paul at RS Tuning so we can all post our comments, views, results etc...
Last year (8/10/08) I had my Trophy put on the RR at RS Tuning. The car was standard and made 162.3 BHP and 140...
Dear All,
After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy?
I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...
Dealers seem to be heavily discounting the 200 CUP... Lookers Chelmsford have a new one with 1mile on the clock in blue, reduced from £15750 to £12,995.
This might be of particular interest to you Rich :wink:
