As some of you will know, I am in the market for a Trophy. However, I first have to sell my TT which is happening, albeit slowly!
Anyway, here are a few questions to get me started:
1. Will the Trophy run adequately on regular fuel i.e. 95 RON?
2. Would you recommend using 97+ RON? If...
Hi all,
In the run-up to 56 Plate I have been offered an increasing number of possible trade-ins by dealers. Many replicate existing stock. I've just repriced this car to sell. The link is below. The details are also in my weblog. If you or anyone want a bargain 'as-new' 2005/05 Clio 182...
Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads.
Plus points for me...
Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...

We all know that Renaultsport will release a Cup version of the 197 in a years time or so, along with a hundred or so other packs and variants but will they relesase a Trophy version, perhaps at the end of it's run?
If so, what would people like to see in the Trophy version? I'll start...

Hi all
Have installed my new DAB head unit and have wired it to the existing Trophy FM aerial. Unfortunately it misses out on a few stations so I have to buy a window mount aerial to get the other stations (the type which has a piece inside the car and then another aerial stuck on the outside...

Hi Guys,

My problem is that i need the renault centre caps so i was wondering if one of you would be kind enough...

We have a lesser clio model in our family - a 1.2 16V. I'm 6'4" and whilst the driving position is ok, heal and toe is virtually impossible.
How do the seats differ in terms of height in the 182 and trophy? Are they much lower and alow more room directly under the steering wheel for heel and...
A couple of interesting reads in evo magazine this month:
1) JB rates the Williams superior over the Trophy
2) The 197 is deemed better than the Cup but comparison to Trophy is not made (yet!)

Hi Guys (and lasses)
I'm about to take the plunge and part ex my mini cooper for a Clio 182 or 172.

Can anybody please guide me as to which one I should get...
can anyone tell me the exact differences between a trophy ,182 and 182 cup....no suprise the dealers have chucked all the old brochures and havent much of a clue about anything technical
cheers
Already planning next car, won't be for a while yet. The thing with having the trophy is because it does things so well, i.e great handling, quick, pretty practical, comfortable with toys. It makes thinking about a new car pretty difficult. But I think i've narrowed it down to these 2. Your...

Was looking at the Oribsoud exhaust recently and it got me thinking... what benefit would it offer, say, a Janspeed or Ktec unit? It is afterall almost £300 more expensive...

Pulled up outside a restaurant in Brighton on Thursday night, and my fiance went to open the passenger door and had it literally wrenched away by the wind. It was wet, and freezing, so didn't check it out until yesterday.
Basically the door still closes, but it doesn't quite sit right. Feels...

Just interested as its a "special" anyhow...
