I say Alpina Roadster 3.4 Lux, you say.....??? :) Just wondering people's thoughts of a Z4 Alpina. I have recently come to research a bit about them and they seem like a fantastic car. However I am aware some people wouldn't be seen dead in one... is that the case here too? Two...

I have a 2005 (05) Clio 182 Cup in Inferno with RECARO Seat Pack. One owner and only 10500m. A pretty rare car being one of only 18 manufactured. Offered at £9995. I also have what I consider to be an immaculate 55 Plate Trophy with 12700m and 2 owners. Offered at £10995 - certainly one...

Got to the station this evening to find No. 99 with it's driver's door window smashed and my head unit gone! Police came and photographed it, dusted for prints and took samples of the foot print on the seat. Luckily there's no body work damage and they didn't open the glove box to the see the...

Is anyone able to give an accurate weight for the Orbisoud system? Race version, manifold back with sports cat. I cant find the information anywhere. Also would be keen to know what the standard system weighs to compare the two. Thanks

Right guy's currently have two cars and a motorbike. Thought i'd down size to just one car and my bike as i do around about 100 miles commute and enjoy riding more than driving. So have looked at loads of cars lately, anyway found myself in a ford garage today looking at a 55 reg fiesta...

hi iam from cliosport, some of you may know me lol. this is the link to cliosport http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=213940 they are made of a uv stable 5 year protective film to help stop stone chips on you rear arches, they are £9 posted so alot cheaper then a respray...

Im going to look at a VX220 tomorrow! Really can't decide whether i want one or to stick with the trophy? What are peoples thoughts on the VX220? And do you think its worth the change?? Cheers

OK guys - 1 week in and time to change the exhaust..... Money no object what is the best system I can buy. I am after a nice rich sound, not too loud to get thrown out of any potential track days, and not too quiet that it wasn't worth bothering.... Not really wanting to ditch the cat in case I...

Hi Guys I'm going down to France later this year, so I thought I'd ask Orbisoud how much one of their exhausts costs to collect from the factory gates. This is their reply; hello, price line complete racing : 1006 euros ht. soft : 1087 euros ht. best...

Had a little free time last weekend following fitting my silvervision indicators.. So as the sun began to set, I grabbed my 350d and headed for the only high point that I could think of locally... View turned out not to be as good as I had thought and the sunset was a let down but here are the...

So are we being stiffed for another £10 or £15 a year to drive on shit roads? I'm reading and getting conflicting information! That's in addition to the increase in petrol taxes. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Has anyone got one of these on there Trophy? Are they any good? I know the orbsund is the bees knees of exhausts but is it worth it? Anything come close to the obsund sound for cheaper? Apart from the itg filter panel is there anything else to modify or is it good in pure form(don't...

Evo descrivbe the Trophy as 'the most fun you can have on 3 wheels' but my question is how do you get it on 3 wheels? Is it something that you should be able to do everyday or do you have to really push the car so much that you're very unlikely to achieve it safely on the road? Can you...

anyone tried painting their calipers red?? how do u think it would look?? good or tacky...best get on photoshop lol. Fitting my new brakes in a week or so, debating whether to paint the calipers. Not necessarily red, but anyone done any other coulours?? Black/Silver?

I have fallen in love with all vechiles BMW m3 so in 6 months time and a lot of saving i am going to get one . I have never driven one so any comments on handling performance mpg .

firstly, showing off my new plate :D and secondly...my trophy and my mates 172 cup...i love this picture! gonna go out and get some more group pics with my mates and their clio sports asap!

Rather than swapping 093 for a V70 i'm thinking of taking out the back seats to accomodate my mountian bike, does anyone have any pics with their's removed? I've read a couple of posts and some speed freaks have taken them out I thick, cue Cue, and this will be a good side effect but need my...

Just found out this hotel has free internet, whoohoo! Just went to check in for flights back tomorrow but It's supposed to be a romantic Valentine's trip so if I'm caught on here it's my nuts on the block! Anyone who hasn't been to Prague, you must go, it's a beautiful City, really nice...

Don't worry not parting with the beloved Trophy!! Been a Renault Sport man for many a year - moving from the MK1 172 to my V6 and then onto the Trophy due to practicality reasons. My other half kept the MK1 172 but now decided time to get rid, its been and still is an excellent car and...

Was it you? Around about 4:30 yesterday.... Driving down broadstreet. Spotted it whilst sat in the sports bar!

I have just been reminded that in 2011/2012 the 'fleet average' emissions come donwnot 120 gms/km. It is about 160 plus at present - and the 197 as an example is 209. Goodness knows how it will be achieved; I would guess that low volume exotics will stay for the high price halo effect, but...

Have this at the mo as mines in the steelers..... Not a bad car, underpowered is an understatement though - feels as quick as the 1.0 Nova I started driving with but significantly heavier. Still It's a school run car not a sports car so it's about spot on for that. The only thing, and it's...

Getting close to reeling one of these in. One owner and 22000 miles with FSH. Only basic info for now but will hopefully come. Let me know in a PM if this might be of interest to anyone. I know one or two have been looking at Elise by the Trophys I've underwritten from Lotus dealers ;) Also a...

Not registered on here. Thats another 2 found :D

Found this on the web. There's another aspect of the Trophy that might help melt your heart, too. It's handbuilt to a remarkable degree, at Renault's Alpine factory in Dieppe that used to make rear-engined Alpine sports cars. The factory still has the Alpine logo outside and the line...

On the Mille Miglia tour page there is a photo clearly featuring a Trophy (reg GJ55 ...) parked with doors open on a alpine mountin pass with a Ferrari 360 Spider in the front of shot. Anyone on here do that trip?

Got a bit carried away today :shock: My exhaust (standard 'high quality' item) is making strange noises again.. So I concluded something had to be done! Then concluded whilst I am at it makes sense to do something on the induction and ECU side. ITG panel filter and KTR grp N ECU choices...

http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1487/ I cant make up my mind if it's good looking or ugly... Aint gonna matter as it's not gonna look much like it when it's on sale. Just as the new Skyline and the new Evo are nearing launch does anyone think this will come out trumps?

Saw this on holiday in Verbier, Switzerland over Christmas. Don't think the aftermarket wheels will catch on.................

Saw this on Ebay, its not my cup of tea but thought i'd post it as it might be of interest to the track affecionados, that and the fact Orbisoud exhausts are so rare... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clio-182-Orbisoud ... dZViewItem
