    Clio Trophy

    Yep they are in freefall. I paid £9500 7 months ago for a 17K car. Thought i was doing well as there were not many under £10k at the time. Then the credit crunch....... Look on the bright side everything else is in freefall to not just Clio's. Wait till people start paying £400+ for...

    clutch pedal is very stiff

    My wifes 182 clutch is alot stiffer than my Trophys had a GTI-6 a few years back and this was a common problem as cable dried out next to exhaust. Replaced cable and hey presto light cluch. (Started to stiffen up about a year later)

    Trophy Advice - what to buy!

    Trophy. Get one while they are still good. When the expensive sachs suspension kit packs up lower it with your uprated kit (and sell the original ones or get refurbed & sell)

    Spotted: Trophy Brands Hatch

    I was there also and saw one just by the track edge just along from the Seatcupra meet. Also a blue 182 a little back from the track about 100m and a RS 172 or 182 with black wheels about the same area. I left my Trophy at home & got a lift with a mate. There were loads of yellow Megane...

    BP ULTIMATE 102 RON (couldn't resist)

    BP had a stand a Goodwood last year. (I picked up loads of free key rings & stickers etc) They had a 911 Turbo on the rollers and two different fuel lines running into it and kept switching fuel. I seem to recall another 50 bhp on 102. So about 10% on a big power turbo. This is a 7 octane...

    Steering Wheel Insert

    How many different colours are there? Just got another wheel on my 182 and the insert looks silver compared to my original titanium colour. So I guess there must be... Blue (on Cups) Silver Titanium

    Black Gold Clio ... What polish?

    Also 'Menzerna Intensive Polish' seems to have a couple of grades & recommed a machine polisher. Is it OK by hand?

    Black Gold Clio ... What polish?

    Yes I used AutoGlym Combo on my Trophy at the weekend and it looks stunning. But even on the Trophy the fine scratches on the bonnet (that are even more visible in my Garage under tube light) are still there. Black Gold is more so. Have never used a machine polisher or a cutting compound...

    Black Gold Clio ... What polish?

    My wife keeps buying Black cars (now a 182 BlackGold metalic) and they show up minor scratching the worst. Generally much improved by a polish but as it wears of the light scratches come back. When we bought the car it ahd just been cleaned & he told me what with (but I forgot) I think it...

    Steering wheel falling to bits

    Two clio's an 05 182 on 31k and a 55 Trophy on 20k. Both are 'melted' on rhs. Thumbgrips OK. If anything the newer lower mileage Trophy is the worst. Trophy still under warranty so may give it a go. Got an address for custiomer service? I like to write stroppy letters people have to answer.

    Clio's onto Canvas

    As me & the wife both have 182s a BG & a Trophy. We had a mini-photoshoot just after buying. I have now dedicated our best photo of the pics to canvas. Must say I'm very pleased. Doubtless I could have saved a few more £ off with surfing. It was a 30" x 40" Canvas for £90. Delivered in...

    41mpg

    When I bought my Wifes 182 we drove back in convoy about 100 miles. As it was a new car & she drives like a girl we both saw an identical 41 mpg on that run back. (182 & Trophy) Since owning the cars for a while I average 31ish with most of my driving for fun or around town. She averages...

    182 Sump Washer

    What should this look like? Any pics? The chap at Reno wanted my reg as he said they changed. The one I put on was metal with a small rubber lip that only pushed on the base of the plug. The one I took off looked like it had more rubber and was tight against the thread of the sump plug...

    FAO Trophy owners

    Bought a trophy for my wife 3 months ago ( so I could have it without selling my car) Then sold my car and my wifes original car in the same weekend. I then took control of the trophy. As my wife liked it so much I got a Black Gold FF. To be fair the FF is probably the better car 99% of...

    New & want some Mats....

    Hello, Joining up and want some Mats on the Group Buy but do I have to be a member first? In my madness I have flung myself into Clio Ownership in a big way. Sold my Smart Brabus Roadster & got a Trophy about 5 weeks ago. My Wife liked it so much we just replaced her Fabia VRS with a...
