So having driven like a dream on the way back from having a few bits done at Rentech on Friday, when I went out in it Friday evening the engine management warning light came on after about half a mile and it started running rough. There was also a bad smell, that I'd struggle to describe. I...
So I'm hopefully close to getting my Trophy pretty well sorted having acquired it in April.
The front Sachs dampers were badly in need of a refurb, so Rentech took them out for me and fitted some loan dampers.
They also fitted the set of Mark Fish springs I'd bought.

What a massive improvement? Much firmer, but not too firm & massively more stable with no crashing on unavoidable minor potholes, or sunken manhole covers.
Can't wait to see how much better it...
and a ###/500 numbered plaque, which of course makes bugger all difference to how it drives, but as much as the naysayers refuse to accept, does make the it a more desirable (and hence more valuable) car to those that want a limited edition version.
But you just can't can you?
You might very well modify other Clio models to the same, or better performing spec, but it's never going to be one of the 500 made unless it is actually a Trophy.

I once had a 911 3.2 Carrera Club Sport. Car 52 of 53 ever made. They go for circa £150k and up now. Even though regular 3.2 Carrera's have gone up in value the last few years they will never be Club Sport money.
