I think red is too much on a red car - red calpiers are nice on a silver car with dark wheels Ben (jaffa's) looks the dogs.
might see whats out there in the hammerite and pick a colour :)
Come on people! where are your ideas? unless I turn it in to a poll?
got the plates sorted out - just need the calipers painting now.......:S
So far the yellow is swaying me - but has anybody got any pics of a trophy with yellow calipers.
they are slightly the same as the trophy seats just not leather and alacantra. I had some in my Cup if you search for my posts.
I had the proper Recaro subframes so they went straight in 10mins max to fit! :)
Wouldnt mind them showing - I would have liked them red, but red car/red calipers is too much. I so some white the other day and that looked different! soon turn black haha
Maybe silver? Or blue?
I am after getting a new set of plates for the car and I have seen the 'New' 3/4 size everyone does, what is the exact size of this? and where best to buy? If not I will just get normal size.
On another topic... I am going to get the calipers painted and wondering what colour would suit the...
Some of the trophy before I set out to meet Jaff and Ry4ns - got some of the meet too but my camera has just died trying to load them up!
Sexy Orb ;)
will get the meet ones up asap!
I have recently just got some dash inserts off a mate as the trophy ones had some scratchs on them but I had found that they are a different silver - more of a darker silver. Does anybody know the colour?? as I am going to get the old ones sprayed up to hide the scratchs.
At first I thought...
I have with my Trophy! :) - adrian flux wanted £870, went with Greenlight, Me, the mrs and father on it £460! can't complain at all.....plus I have 9 points too! :o and i just turned 26 in feb
Yeah it fits the standard cat but when clamping up it doesn't seem to get a good hold, like the clamp is tightening more on the orb than the cat.....wondered if getting a decat (which is a performace part) might give a better fit
I have an Orbisoud fitted to my Trophy would the Yoz decat match up to this??
The end of the Orb is shaped like a mushroom and fits into the cat which is like a trumpet. :)

Panic over.....all fixed now! :D managed to get some silicone and place a loud round the joint and tighten the clamp up 'really' tight..... no more blowing..
Oh and before anyone says about silicone - it was heat proof!
Right a slight problem.....I have taken my old system off the car and started fitting the Orb, but it seems it does not match up to the cat? I have used the pipe clips supplied but it is clamping the Orb pipe 1st before the cat?? so there isn't a 'definate' hold. Does this mean it doesn't work...
Done less than 1K in them, do you need to 'upgrade' the brake fluid too?
My disc's are looking in a bad way, so I was going to replace these in a couple of month
Well too late now lol got the exhaust :cool:
Found out the service is only dropping oil and filter change so can do that myself easy peesy! and all ready have the right oil and a OE oil filter :approve:
As for the exhaust hanger I sould be able to do a make shift one.
-Totally off topic...
Where can I buy parts for this exhaust??? K-tec have stopped selling the system, will it be direct for Orbisoud in France - or is there any other dealer in the uk
This is the softer version :o two silencers, I guess if I don't like the sound I can sell it again!
TooneySonic - Sold it mate, well swapped for the trophy! a guy wanted a bigger car cos of kids and I amlooking to buy a house and that thing was drinking all my money.....
LOL I wish! I had a yozza on my 172 cup and even though I must say it was one of the BEST fitted systems and the noise was fantastic it was bloody loud! :oToo loud for motorway driving anyway
The guy has even said to meet me half way! can't get much better than that! :D
I have a few other things to do to my car which is the most annying thing!
-New brakes
-Service
-Paint job......all which costs money! :dapprove:
I said at the start that I would only buy an exhaust if my...
The Trophys come with a sports cat standard I think. I'm getting the exhuast for more than £300 but less than £700
only done 2k miles......... just wondering if its worth spending the cash at the mo where I could get a Blueflame one ALOT cheaper....
Yeah nasty price tag of £1k! but are they really worth the money??
What makes the different to other exhausts?....apart for the price tag :eek:
Its the twin silencer - one just after the cat and then the rear box. I won't be de-cat'in the car as police in my area are pulling folk over for...
Right I have the chance to own one of these exhausts - do I go for it or get a blueflame off my mate??
Orb is only 6 month old - mint condition
its just a hell of alot of money!
