So 219 is now 3 years old and at 26k miles, the annual service is due in December but its my intention to bring it forward before a small road trip to Wales. Now how many people have taken the precaution of having the Aux Belts changed when there car got to 3 years. I’m in two minds to...

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...

What's an 05 Trophy with 70000 miles going to be worth in 12m time? Warranties with a £2500 claim limit that cover the dampers are available for about £250 per annum for cars with FSH and undergo scheduled services. Also seems that private sales appear to be similar prices achieved by...

Picked it up last week, and finally managed to give a clean this weekend. Although it looks uber clean, the paintwork has a fair ammount of swirls, and although I have clayed the car, it is still like sandpaper in some areas!. Perhaps a more aggressive 'clay' required? Anyway...

Gave the clio a good wash the other day and thought i would post some pictures. Car is doing me well alltho its just been in for a service with rentech which cost me £300. Not bad considering Renault wanted £600 odd. As you can see it needs a new foglight/splitter/ small amount of bumper...

i was just outside having a sneaky cig :oops: ........ and wondered to myself...... what could be done to the radio aerial. now im not talking about a chavved up bee sting thingy..... but maybe trying to get a sharks fin and colouring it in the red. i mean its never bothered me so...

:D

I HAVE A BRAND NEW TYRE ON A STEEL WHEEL SIZE 175 70 R13. This was of an old shape megane but fits any renault! Which is the same circumfrance as clio trophy/172/cup alloys would be better than tyre weld as a spare offers around £20 postage extra!!! see photo havent cleaned wheel would polish up

I'm in the market for a Clio Trophy, must be VERY clean, and well looked after....... But PLEASE not Silly Money.... Cheers...

Spent the weekend polishing the Trophy, have been meaning to combat the swirls ever since it came out of Renault for some warranty work (forgot to ask them not to clean the car with a gritty sponge). Not the best weekend, as I had to keep dodging all the rain showers . Had to finish up in the...

Today myself and Bubbles passed a fair few hours giving the R27 some TLC.... clay-bar'd, followed by some Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish and Meguiars Deep Crystal Wax. Well chuffed with the results.... liquid yellow looks awesome when clean even if i do say so myself :)

The weekend started with a visit to Mark Fish to have the solid top mounts fitted that I had ordered last year but had only just got round to getting fitted. Mr Fish (for those who have never met him). The top mount. Sachs dampers removed. Holes drilled. Top mount...

Whats the best polish for our trophys? I mean stuff we can put on, not stuff that has to be done by a pro, and lasts a while?

Spotted you at the Piston Heads Sunday Service today. Was a nice little turn out.

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

I thought I'd post this up here for people to just be nosey at. I can't take credit for the write up, but have a read....:cool: The pictures honestly do not do the car justice now imo. The paint feels so smooth it's unreal. I haven't felt paint so smooth on a new car in all honesty...

My car is Capsicum BLACK at the moment and i'm feeling a little guilty about it after seeing all the sparkling trophies on the site. Can anybody recommend any decent detailers in and around south east London/Kent/Essex areas? Think i might get it sorted in the next few weeks!!! Cheers...

Want to keep the Trophy looking good. Think my car's had permagaurd recently applied to it (only had the car a couple of weeks). Anyone else had this done? How often do you need to do it? Any other tips for keeping it tip top? Thanks, Karl.

Hi all, Just noticed the other day that my discs were VERY uneven. There are a lot of groves and this has made the braking squeek and braking hard very untrustworthy. My question to you knowledgeable people is whether it's simply a case of replacing the discs & pads or is there something...

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...

I know it's not a Trophy, but i thought i'd share these photo's of my Black Gold 182. Gave it a quick clean last night and took a couple of photo's...
