Evening everyone.
I've been umming and ahhing about selling the Clio for a while now, it's costing a fair bit to run which isn't great when I have another expensive hobby.
So i've decided I should probably try to get a cheaper car that's as fun and although i've looked at MX-5s and the like...
Had my wheel done recently and here is the results.i decided to go for a more updated look with perforated side panels and removed the separate thumb grips but it still retains the original shape in this area.
The thing is im not sure i like it, top quality job real italian leather and well...

I'm looking at getting the original wheels refurbished in the near future but I cannot find a place that will spray them in IXELL paint. I am also wary that by painting them with a water based paint they will bubble again, which I don't want.
Has anybody either had theirs refurbished in paint...
Hi all, this weekend I've purchased a 182 Clio in silver. So joined this forum for help on steering wheel re trim ect.
But whilst here I thought I'd post about my 205 gti which I brought from the original owner but have not sent v5 so still showing one owner.
The car is 1.6 gti in black...
Well, after getting loud donging noises when maneuvering, and people on here saying the top mounts would cause it, the garage I use also confirmed this. Ktec said to use engine oil to lubricate the top mounts last week, which i did, from within the engine bay, but it made no difference. I was...
I bought these as a part of a group buy on CS

Hey chaps (ettes!)
Was giving the Trophy a wash today and noticed that, before long, am sure that the last fading speedline logo is going to disappear from the wheel lip. I have, on the back the CT numbered sticker and thought it might be an idea to get some stickers made up in the same way...

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Its the little plastic thing that you lift up in order to move the seats forward to get into the back. The passenger side one has snapped off. I went into a Renault dealer and was told that they were £38 because you have to order another part...
I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...
Due to a lovely white van man forcing me off into a kerb earlier i now have a need for 1 x Trophy Turini, decent condition etc, if anyones got one kicking about let me know!!
Just thought I would do an update from a myself, a new owner member of a trophy re 131. Picked T up from Wales last Wednesday , first to see did buy! Great price but as always there is a snag, not deliberate by the seller more like the things to do when you get a second hand performance car! On...

Does anyone have any contacts at Michelin? Preferably in product development, manufacturing or supply chain. Customer services or marketing better avoided.
Looking at Michelin's current UK range the Pilot Exalto PE2 (for the Sports and Roadster segment so they say) is still available in...

Hi all, just to introduce myself, I have just bought 449 and loving it already! I signed up to get more info before buying, the forum is great to find out about the potential issues and fixes.
The Clio is a 2nd car for fun, there are a few minor jobs to do, four new PS3s are going on...
Removed from a 182 with cruise control, but should fit any model of Mk 2 Clio from 2001-2008 with or without cruise control. If your car doesn't have cruise control, just remove the buttons to allow your airbag to fit.
The steering wheel is in fantastic condition, one of the best I've seen...
Had a puncture on the motorway, stopped as quick as I'd noticed but not quick enough :(
Luckily my car had a spare wheel and tyre in the boot, but as the exalto is no longer available I'm totally stuck with what to buy now.
I think the it is going to be the new Michelin but not convinced...
Well after being up at my local renault today i was speaking to the warrenty advisor and i asked about my melted steering wheel, He says he has only ever changed one and that was last week on a 197 and funnily enough that was my brothers car.
He said my best bet was to call Renault UK and i did...
Had this trimmed at a place local to me, very similar colour match with black stitching ( was gonna go red but thought it might look out of place without any other red bits ) and stock thumb grips ( will be covered when they start to fall apart.
Anyway, a few pics...
I have had two Trophys both which have done this. When parking and wheels near full lock the steering wheel becomes light and wants to go onto full lock its self as if the wheels are tilted over. Also if the road is wet the T front tires slip very easily when turning. It never bothered me as i...

-Sabelt Steering Wheel with OMP Steering Boss. In excellent used condition. Only the shiny part at 4 and 8 o'clock positions where the suede has been compressed through use. It may or may not be brushed back to life, I don't really know. Apart from that, there are no marks anywhere else on the...
Need some new fronts on my Trophy, got Toyo's on back.
Any deals or reccos out there? Just been reading a few tyre threads but all seem out of date.
What is the best Michelin at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
