Well, not even 4 months have passed since I sold the Trophy, and I’m back in a Clio! This is my 7th 1*2 - it seems I just can’t t stay away, and this side of £10k I just don’t think there is anything better for the money. In that 4 month gap, I had an A3 S-Line TDI which I sold (tried to...

I agree, always wanted a Calibra Turbo back in the day.

Saw this today, had to grab a picture. When was last time anyone saw a Calibra? Let alone two of them!

Sold.

Forgot to mention location. It is in Portsmouth.

Hi all, This is not my car, just putting it up there on behalf of my neighbour's son. Wondered if anybody would be interested in this Clio 200 Cup he has for sale? Details I have at the moment to hand: 200 Cup in White Just under/over 50k miles Recaro's MOT expired about a week ago He...

Yep, it’s a very tidy car! Way cleaner than most with less than half the miles 😅 mainly motorway miles and has been highly maintained. MOT tester on the weekend even commented saying it’s very clean for the mileage!

My A3 is for sale on eBay. Superb and very reliable car for somebody, in great condition. Let me know if you are interested before auction end (there is a reserve set on it). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265020300724 Ash

No problem at all mate, has been absolute spot on. Looked a better quality driveshaft than most too. And I am pretty sure I saw a GKN stamp somewhere on the new genuine one for the other side! Would recommend.

Looking good @BlackGoldMatt Keen to hear your thoughts on the AR1 tyres when you get a chance to use them. Almost bought a set a couple of weeks ago, but decided to wait until spring/summer as still got life in the NS2R’s, but they will be my next tyres. Glad you decided to use Alex too; can...

And a few of how filthy the car looked on the driveway once I got home! A wonderful reminder of a thoroughly enjoyed road trip/drive across Wales.

So last weekend saw a road trip to Wales in the Trophy. It was supposed to be the annual Trophy Welsh Weekender (where you normally get some 20-30 Trophy owners together), and this year being the 15th anniversary of the Trophy, was supposed to be the biggest one yet, but didn’t quite happen that...

Not my advert. Any V6 owners interested? 😅 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-V6-Phase-2-pair-of-brand-new-primary-catalytic-converters-VERY-RARE/402080280332?hash=item5d9dda2f0c:i:402080280332

They’re great for the money mate. £60 a corner from K-Tec. Only thing I’d say is they take a bit longer to warm up, but I think it’s because I have the 180 compound which is a bit harder (only one available from K-Tec). Not sure if other/softer compounds are available elsewhere. Can’t comment on...

As requested, sir! I’m not particularly great/imaginative with photos, and only taken with a phone camera. Something I’d like to arrange actually is a mini photo shoot of the car in a decent location with somebody who knows what they’re doing with a camera!

Great job Matt. Headlights are looking fresh, and black surround on the dials makes a big difference doesn’t it 👌🏼 Keep up the good work.

Other option is to get a Pagid one from ECP/CP4L Works out cheaper to get it from CP4L at the moment. With their current 20% discount code, works out at £108.64 but that includes a £35 surcharge which you receive back when you return your old one, so would only be £73 excluding surcharge. This...

Looks great Steve, such a small thing but makes a big difference, agree it looks much better, and I like that it is an OE finish and not painted. Nice job. Look forward to meeting you and seeing your car at C&M in a few weeks 👌🏼

Spent today giving the Trophy a good clean; first one in about 7-8 weeks I think! Consisted of snow foam (AF Avalanche), followed by two bucket wash with Chemical Guys ceramic shampoo, and a thorough rinse with purified water which makes life so much easier, no drying required!👌 Forgot what...

Had some custom M8, 8mm stand off aluminium spacers made up to lower the steering column. I’ve read that 8mm is about the maximum you can get away with. It was certainly a squeeze but managed to get them in without too much trouble, so can confirm this is indeed the most you’d get away with...

Excuse my ignorance, but what has £32k been spent on? 🤷‍♂️ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114378185915

Another vote here for a PMS system. Have the same setup as Frayz (different tips), think it sounds superb. Can’t be beaten for the money either. Do it 👍🏼 Car is looking great by the way 👌🏼

Are you after xenon or halogen units? Assuming xenons if it is a Full Fat car (i.e. both cup packs).

Appreciate all the nice comments people! Quite a statement, thank you 🙂 I have tried to make an effort with all the details. Some may think it’s too much which I understand, but I really think it works. Cheers Chris 🙂 Appreciate the compliment 🙂 the interior is pretty much complete now...

Finally got round to fitting the Pole Position seats. It has been a long wait, going back to when the order was first placed in April. Spent the evenings this week getting the seat units built up so I could essentially just drop them in, so bolting up the seats, side mounts and runners to the...

Lovely Frayz 👌 Knew you would be happy with the Pure system, coupled with the ProAM mounts for a snug fit. The system cannot be beaten for the price.

It's not a Trophy, just painted the same colour.

I actually found mine in a box of odd bolts/screws Mark! @renaultpartsdirect can you help please? @RustyMojo is after item number 8 in the PDF I have attached.

Not my car, just came across it on eBay. Doesn't look to be cup packed (silver wheels), but looks tidy cosmetically. No doubt opening a can of worms for people to discuss the price/value of it! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-182/174395141686?hash=item289ac2ae36:g:9RQAAOSwVSlfOAm4

As I’ve already said, nice purchase Matt. Love the colour, if I was to own another 182 alongside the Trophy, would have to be RB as one of few colours I’ve not owned yet somehow. Looking forward to updates; I know you’ll make it super clean and it’ll be tastefully modified. Hopefully meet up...
