I have a Nillfisk C110, it was only £49.99 brand new and is more than good enough. The hose isn't the longest, but I bought an extension off eBay which was about £30 or so.

Welcome mate! I loved the black VTS you had, so will look forward to seeing what you do with a Clio.

Go with what Yellow Dave has suggested and you can't go wrong. The only thing I'd add if you haven't got one already is a pressure washer (might take you over budget though...). I have a Nillfisk C110, which I paid £49.99 for. It's cheap and cheerful, but more than good enough for use on cars.

Seems odd that somebody would spend that kind of money building a car like that and only do 300 miles in two years.... ​

Think I've seen the blue 172 with white grille around Shepshed a couple of times. I agree with you, it looks awful lol.

I've just got a new job and will be doing about 3k a month in the Trophy. With personal mileage on top of that, I rekon I could rack up 50k miles a year... it's already on 90k! Mine does 40 MPG with ease, servicing / maintenance is cheap and whilst I've had no repairs need doing yet, nothing...

The Wheel Specialist in Burton. Did a great job of my wheels!

​Bump!

What do people think a high mileage Trophy might be worth, say one with 120-130k miles? And do you think it would be hard to sell on? It would have an extensive service history, belts changed, dampers refurbed, etc- basically a good condition Trophy, but with high miles. The only reason I ask...

Russ @ MCC is based in Wolverhampton I believe so not far from you. Car is beautiful btw.

Would you really want to be driving a car with an engine that could potentially go pop at any point? Personally, I'd buy one cheap/with belts due and get them done yourself. That way you can get it done properly by a specialist on here. P.S. get a Trophy!

Handling > looks :)

I'd recommend getting some Tardis and Iron-X, too. Both are to be used prior to clay. A full decontamination will make the world of difference if it hasn't been done in a while / at all. http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Autosmart_Tardis_1.html#aASTARDIS...

That seems like an amazing price!! How are you finding them? I'm considering some when I'm next due some new tyres.

I think there's too much of an emphasis on what mods you've done. I'd rather know more about its history and condition. For me, service history is a big selling point. So I'd want to know when the services were carried out and at what mileage, it's also good to know who has done the work. Get...

Should see a good performance gain from a manifold, apparently the standard one is fairly restrictive...

Welcome to the forums! Definitely get a Trophy if you can mate. I thought my 182 was a very capable car and I loved it, but when I drove a Trophy it felt on another level tbh.

That FRP is unreal!!

Very nice. I love these, I had one and have had a few cars since, yet the ST is the only one I miss. Mine never got anywhere near 40mpg though..

Rayman Origins?

LOL, i'll watch out for that :p Will be sure to get plenty of pics, was planning to do a little write-up, but need to sort out a decent camera first!

I thought the same about the menz pads, but they seem to be doing a good job anyway. :) ​Agreed, the hexlogic pads are very good. That's what I had before.

Yeah, using polish- Menzerna 203S with a Menzerna orange polishing pad. I'm really impressed with the DAS-6 though, mainly because it's so easy to use. I had an EP801 from CYC previously and really struggled with it. You should give it another go mate, if time's an issue, maybe just do a...

The paintwork on my Trophy is in similar condition (if not worse!) and I'm just in the process of trying to sort it out. Hence I was interested in seeing why you'd opted to try and fill the defects rather than remove them. I've just bought a DAS-6 and so far, I've tried just one panel. It took...

Adamm. - sorry if i've missed something, but why don't you polish your car rather than try and hide the defects? edit; just re-read this and sounded a bit sarcastic, not intentional at all, it's a genuine question...

Get one off a trader on here, either Wests Renault or Adam @ Renault Wolverhampton. I think they both sell them for around £120, which is a considerable saving over the quote you've had so far. The Skoda one is ok, but doesn't compare to a genuine one IMO..

Yeah I think mine is probably worth more in parts than as a complete car.

Get the dent sorted on the door? Just tidy it up / make it mint. Anything more and you will ruin it IMO.

Can't get over the condition of the steering wheel! Great buy mate, I'm sure you're loving it :) Any plans?
