Evening all,

So happy, just bought a Clio Trophy! Picking it up tomorrow, 18,700 miles. For a great price too! Going to be a completely differant change from my 1.2 punto :lol: . A very happy 19 year old indeed!! 8)

 

[hoolio]

Yeah, that's a bit of a step up. Enjoy

 

[Olliev8]

nice one dude!!!!!!!

give us the low down on it.... number, mods, number of owners, etc.

welcome, enjoy the trophy experience, make sure you register it in the owners register.

And make sure you take it easy for the first few months, it'll be a lethal weapon compared to a 1.2, you don't want to hit a stretch of road you know well in a car you think you know to find it's characteristics are different.

Welcome to the club.

As said above, enjoy what you know I'm going to tell you is a fantastic car, but take it easy - if I'd had one at 19, I'd have lasted about 15 minutes!

[SpaceMonkey]

BIG step up in all round performance, I'm sure you'll love it.

Just be careful & enjoy it safely :wink:

 

[Renaultsport]

Nice one mate, you'll love it.

I had an Ibiza 1.6 and jumped from that to my 172 Cup a few years ago. As mentioned before, take it steady for a while, also as its damp out there now!

Let us know what you think of it!

 

[Dico]
