No 425 (or is it 475? Where's the Trophy register link gone? It's too cold to go outside and check) has done 20k miles and at some point has acquired 2 'dings' due to ignorant, thoughtless, slack-jawed (and probably jealous) eejits opening car doors against it (one on front wing, one on rear...

Just removed a set of Carbon Fibre Wing Mirrors and plates they sit on from my Trophy.
They look really good as the Carbon Fibre has been made very well and laquered.
They do have some scratches on them but look great when fitted.
The plates have to be fitted to the clio's Doors this means...
Just done some last minute shopping in brighton and came back to the car to find a black scrape going all the way from the back of the passenger door to the rear wheel arch. No car to be seen, I'd parked as far away from everyone else as possible and still get some scumbag drive into me.

Had left No369 in for the 12K service at local Renault dealer and on pick up was told that a minor mishap had occurred. If you call a 4 inch score on your wing a minor mishap.
The mechanic had been holding a screwdriver between his legs and accidently managed to put a deep score on the drivers...
I've just been perusing the cliosport forum and someone on there reckons that there is a Trophy for sale in the Southern Autotrader for £9,500 ono. Apparently it looks in good nick and has done less than 15k.
How depressing is that. I just hope its a Cat D or something! :cry:
ok only had the car 3 weeks but was pissed off with that whistle.
but its not windscreen it the slight gap in the wing mirror where it swivels.
not sure why no one has found it before.
just put your hand out the window and you can put your finger tip over the gap at just the right point...

Saw you passing the pub just south of Hendy Ford/Southampton Audi at about 16:30.

I've had my Saxo vtr from new for 6years and can now afford\justify a new car, i've always loved the RS clios since the 16valvers from the 90's, so me and the misses have decided that the Trophy is the one (cant afford a corsa vxr, clio 197 cup or 207 GTI rallye thing when they all come out)...

How to ruin a decent car........ as to why someone thinks this is a good thing to do i'll never comprehend :evil:
Feel better now after a few beers and hoping the chap from Dent Devils can restore my doors as new on Monday!
If I did this to someone elses car i would leave my number on their windsreen. Am i in the minority group for being good citizen or just too stupid / honest?

Got back into the country on Monday, log in here the day after and read the piece about forum conduct, now we all know whats behind that - now maybe im thick but dealing with the problem rather than the effect would be a better idea?

When driving above 30 mph my driver wing mirror starts to whistle with the wind. The passenger one is fine. It's not that annoying as with music at a normal level you can't hear it, but i wondered does anyone else get this?
Just washed my pride and joy only to find some Twat has put something on the bonnet which both put two dents in it and a 4 inch scratch! not big dents but two small ish creases. And to add to this the bottom of the passenger wing has been scuffed probably by the same Twat!.
These two things...
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...
