anyone know how to get white gloss paint out of the seats and of the rubber on the steering wheel? First drive = Front splitter gets mashed Second drive = finishes the windows then pops out in the trophy to pick up something from B&Q. gets back, low and behold she didnt wash her hands off...

My g/f baked me this.

Nik aka T28 PHY Saw you passing the pub just south of Hendy Ford/Southampton Audi at about 16:30. I was driving a VW Caddy van with a wavy green stripe along the side and only had the wherewithall to point and stare!

Ok, a hot topic which has been covered in different ways, but for those of you that have had a service or have one coming up in the not so distant future, i'm just trying to find out where you've had yours done/where you'll choose. I'm at 11000 miles so mine isnt far away. I've heard good...

I have to say the were fantastic (no Im not on mind bending drugs). I requested that they did the body work check while I was there so they could not say "well that dent was there when we got it" :shock: There was no tutting they just did the check straight away and recorded the milage etc...

My missus is collecting a 2000 172 tonight. Had a good poke round it yesterday and all it seemed sound, bar a few bumps and scrapes but the price is good enough. Anything specific to look out for that you know of? Thx!

Need some new mats in preparation for permagard treatment. Aside from the Renault standard items (which I have and don't really like) anyone bought anything they feel is a better? Any advise/ideas much appreciated :)

hi guys, I'm new on cliotrophy .... I'm dani from Italy and this is my '05 182 :D

Hi everyone, I am going to book in a Permagard treatment for the little Clio. Anyone had any experience with the Permagard product? We have had a similar hard glossy coating on a car which we kept in very harsh conditions and it fared very well. BTW, they have quoted ~£150 for a...

I thought it might be an idea to see what little gadgets etc people have added to their Trophy's. The kinda things that are slightly less expensive than new exhaust systems ( :wink: ) but are nonetheless fun and could be useful to some people! I've added a Dension Ice Kit to mine so now I...

i've just got off the phone to Andrew at yozzasport, he was very helpful. I've decided to get new lines, fluid and pads, the only problem being whether to go for the PF97s or the DS2500s. Bascially, as those of you who were at bedford will have seen, i'm not very good at keeping my car clean, so...

Need some work in as its all dried up at the moment :( Anyway thats good news for the Clio Trophy forum Offers as follows 1) 25 point inspection, oil and filter change and a wash for £60 inc. VAT Genuine parts used, check of lights/levels/steering/suspension/brakes/wipers...

Hi everyone, just recently a knocking noise has started and has been getting worse as time goes on. Its around the drivers side front wheel area and happens mostly when in traffic and under hard acceleration when I change gear when i lift my foot from the gas. Anyone else had this problem...

I'm pretty sure I do, its so muddy you can't read the trophy text on the sills

A request from someone, could you firstly have a look at the exhaust on the Trophy and tell me if you have any lateral movement? Also how far does the exhaust protrude from the back bumper. Since having the car repaired i've noticed a knocking noise, a vibrating noise at about 4k...

I have been washing the car every week but would like to wax it. I have Zymol Autowash and Zymol Cleaner Wax and after using the autowash today then using the Chamois. I applied the Cleaner Wax and doesn't really come out as good as I hoped there are swirl marks really small ones. I don't do...

:evil: For those of you not up to speed, my coolant temperature needle turned into a disco on My drive round the M25 on Sunday. Would just go all over the place. . . . . Didnt think too much of it, but maybe i should have!!! Was cruising at 30 in 3rd gear today, put my foot on the...

Pics of my Trophy after first wash. Sorry it was getting dark.

am i the only person here thats had issues with the swirl marks ? through the day they r invisible but at night under street light it looks really bad ...... according to the guy today at the dealers he recons its just that the red paint shows it up more , i recon it was just a bad valet...

Trophy had to go back to the delaers today! Passenger wing mirror glass had a vibration problem making it hard to see out of, really annoying buzzing sound from the Glovebox, ( Thought my Mrs had left something embarrasing in there :oops: ), and a clicking noise from behind the dials...

from previous experience with other 172 ive decided to take action! youll know that the leading edge of the rear wheel arches are a bastard for catching the stones thrown up from the front wheels and before long they get peppered my mate, a designer has measured and produced on his mac a...

First I was told delivery 20 September. This is confirmed in writing. Then im told computer says 29 September then a few days later 4 October today im told 7 October. They have given me no proper information except to say "well car is hand made very special could be sooner" ETC ETC. I am so...

As the subject says. They have had a few trees cut down today, and i've just gone out to have a look at the car and its covered in bark and sawdust. I'm just hoping it doesn't scratch the paint work. They could have asked me to move the car or put a cover over it, but no. Inconsiderate...

Just a few pics of my 1 day old car, have used 1/2 tank of petrol already and my cheeks are hurting so much because of all the smiling i have been doing. just a few pics for you to see.
