Hey guys...
Let's here your reasons why you chose the Trophy as your car of choice ?
Was it the reviews ?
Was it the test drive ?
Did someone you know own one ?
Did you buy one without test driving it - purely based on reputation ?
What were you looking for out of the car ?
How happy...
Just been to put some more miles on No:479
I know these are suposed to be great track cars (and I will hopefully find out next year) but WOW, this thing handles bumpy backroads like a fully prepped rally car. 8)
The wheel and body control are excellent! for such a small car the handling...

Took my Trophy for a real hard drive on Saturday, first time that I have had the Clio at maximum attack for a prolonged amount of time, and whilst the car performed brilliantly (speed and handling) I got a couple of gripes that I can't believe are on my Trophy as they were problems on my phase 1...
Does anybody know were i can get the following stone chip cover as
shown below in photo???
Buying another Willy original and i am spending 5k plus so want a minter and want to keep it stunning will only be using it as the ocassional weekend car, well thats the plan
Looking around at Normal Clio 182's 2nd hand that are anywhere between 9-18 months old with usually under 20k on the clock, considering the website quotes an on the road price of £14,800 ( i know they could be snapped up for about £11,500 from some internet sales site ) but to...
Who fancies a meet on some serious driver roads?
I think it could be a quality meet if we could get 5 trophy's and 5 Williams' for a B road blast.
If anyone is seriously interested lets have some place suggestions and get it sorted before the winter closes in.
Hello All!
Thought I should register as I am picking up my Trophy tomorrow, so fecking excited! Don't know the number yet, will post over the weekend.
After owning a phase 2 5 turbo, then a phase 1 172 (and the girlfriend owns a Williams 1) I am really looking forward to what Renaults latest...
Apart from ride comforts etc hows does the willy compare? Used to have one myself but not had a chance to have a go in a trophy yet. My mate has just bought one but will not let me have a play :( (very close to his heart at the moment)

Managed to get hold of the Clio Williams press release document from when the 1st one arrived. Quite pleased :)
My collection of Williams memorabilia is growing nicely 8)
Any Trophy owners starting a collection for their rare clio's? :wink:

Anyone know of any other places other than Justmatz to get decent quality car mats in a choice of colours, and possibly a custom logo?
These standard clio mats i've got in the Trophy are horrible :x
how much u reckon they will drop to in the next couple/few yrs..... every time i see one i must admit i really do like them but i cud only afford it when they are a couple if yrs old....... when they are abt 10k.....
When it comes round to refurbing those alloys? :P
Also, what is the weight of the wheels?
Are they 16's?
Williams wheels weight 7kg's, just interested i might buy some if they are lighter. :P
You go into the show room to buy your Trophy and a salesman comes across and says instead of the Trophy, for the same price, you can have an brand new clio Williams. An original, just been built from all new parts, same warrenty as Trophy, spares on sale for next 15 years same as Trophy. And...
We like your cars. The are fun.
We dont like the stupid names. 'Cup', 'Trophy' etc.
Here are my suggestions:
'Renault Clio Ragnotti' (as in France, the tarmac god himself on your car, if you dont know who he is you shouldnt be allowed to buy the car, please implement a small written...
Done the following to instead of the present Trophy?
Given it the F1 colour scheme
Had 'Renault F1' sticker on the side where trophy is (not called it the trophy)
Given it a 2.2 litre engine making 192 ish bhp but more torque
Given it a LSD
Given it distictive alloys
Had the plaque on...
