Get them refurbed same colour. That car looks class as it is. Anthracite would cheapen it I rekon

only like buying an alpha or something

Duuur I know. Look I had a 172 so I have no Axe to grind about clios I love them! Ideally I would have liked to have kept my 172 and had the 225 as well but Im not that rich. The orginal reason this topic went off on a tangent was because Lee said that the Trophy wasnt a mainstream car. Yes...

he had a mk2 same as me Roy. When you have one you do think they are the ultimate but there is life after the clio believe me!

yes but the trophy is at the end of the model phase so what else would it have done? The clios gone out with a bang like the golf with the R32. The megane does set out what renault set out to do. They wanted to brigdge the gap between a hot hatch and a premium hatch. I own one and this is...

well they know how EVO reviews affect sales now, no doubt that feature will shift all the unsold trophys....funny that.

Quote: Originally posted by Lee on 01 August 2005Your Megane doesnt keep company with an M6 though, and as good as the Megane Trophy and Cup are they arent getting rave reviews, just good ones. The fact they even saw fit to put a £15.5k shopping trolly against an M6 is unbelievable, but thats...

Im not talking performance that topic has been done to death on this website we know the trophy is fast, but on twisties what hot hatch wouldnt keep up with an m3 these days? Things have moved on at our end of the market. A corrola T sport would probably keep up with an m3 in the twisties. EVO...

oh come on they arent that bloody wild! lol an m3 murders any clio but thats about as mainstream as you can get! The sheer number of RS clios on the road tells you they are mainstream. They are just a normal perforamcne car. Comparatively speaking the Williams and 205 GTI were probably wilder...

maybe saying its not a mainstream car is a tad stretching it, its still a clio. Anon mainstream car I would class as something like a kit car or something set up specifically for track use

and take up stamp collecting

14.7 is actually quite a good 1/4 mile time I ran a 15.00 at FCS but Im sh*t at 1/4 miling I thought a 14.8 would be possible especially if the stupid ASR would switch off above 35mph which the standard meg doesnt. Soon to be sorted on mine by writing all the trophy ECU data onto mine

if you worried about depreciation you wouldnt be buying french either lol

trophys wont depreciate any more or less than a 182 or 172 before that I would have thought. As sh33n says expect a big hit when the new RS comes out but as with any sporty model depreciation is gonna be a fact of life. Somehow I dont think trophy owners will be thinking of depreciation though...

Dont forget the megane is carrying a lot of extra lard. Its quite a bit quicker than a 172 (like 1/2 a second over the 1/4 mile) up to 60 theres probably not much in it but I think they do the 100 dash a good second quicker. Dont believe the hype about handling either they have got lots more...

www.carpeople.co.uk have new 182s for 11,300 +OTR costs personally I would get a 172 cup you should be able to get one for less than 7k which is ridiculously good VFM

Head unit should run 4 speakers a lot better than a standard head unit, youll also get better sound quality. Deffo go for a sub it rounds off the sound and car acoustics really suit having lots of bass (although you dont need anything more than a single 12") If you have a sub and good front...

That was my point though the p2 172 the normal one didnt get anything like the attention the 182 got but yet it was very popular with the buying public, Evo latched onto this and made sure to be right on the bandwagon when the 182 came out. Despite bieng the same car with silly exhausts on its a...

are there any little brackets or anything you can get for holding a sub in place? Ive used velcro tape before but not keen on it as it rags your carpet when you want to take the sub out, some screw in jobbies would be ideal

my 172 got hammered for 21 thousand miles and it was only just run in, I doubt weather the trophy was hammered on track would make a jot of difference unless it had 20k of it

There are a number of things that worry me about evo. The main one is to do with renault, as Evo were apparently "involved" in development of the meg trophy/cup and I think also the trophy clio. Now can Evo still be impartial after they have done this? They are hardly going to say that the...

people are generally being more careful with the brass I think. current model clios are going to be difficult to shift with the new model looming. Highly modded clios cars like that turbo one are always gonna be a pain to shift. For anyone that doesnt know the person thats done all the work its...

awsome, black is so the best colour for a 182, loving the oldskool pug too

sure the dashboard isnt lit up like a christmas tree with engine management lights??

jay tell your m8 about www.meganesport.net 225 owners club forums, run by some hadsome chap from leeds ;)

its about time they whipped their service network into shape as they are sh*te. The dealer I have has 1 capable tech and thats it!

stick a cap on it

get some pics up!
