Decat makes it louder and raspy, straight through/no silencer on the centre section makes it louder without the rasp.

Glad I just read this about CAS burning the old paint off. Mine were supposed to be being dropped off their today... I'll give that a miss now!

Very subtle! I like it.

I refurbed my alloys not long ago and now fancy changing them again. I did quite a good job so I fear that the old spray will be a ballache to get off. Last time on my old wheels I couldn't remove the old spray paint, nor could I spray over it after sanding because the primer seemed to react...

Aw you guys. :o

It happened when I was at the lights (first photo) so I got pissed off and booted it!

That looks brand new!

Some of you may remember my 1.2: Two cars in between, then my 172: Another two cars in between, now my Trophy:

It looks like it's wearing glasses now.

I prefer the current one, looks a lot more aggressive and the running lights are more subtly placed on the front blade.

Blowtorch? Just start the car and it'll heat up. It will remove easier when it's hot because the metal will have expanded. Make sure you wear gloves though!

Going past Debdale Park towards Denton roundabout/M60.

Having a 172 donor car would be the only cost effective way to do it. Thread now closed due to terrible advice and comments from other users which have now been deleted.

I can't imagine address is even relevant - the insurance companies will keep those on file so there is no need for one party to know the adress of the other one.

I'd be looking at this too depending on how bad the damage is. If it's minimal, this would work in the interests of both parties.

You can do, but if the claim is going through his insurance then they will sort it all out.

I want my Trophy Turinis refurbed back to their standard colour. I know I can choose the colour, but lacquered finish is an option... I want it to look as OEM as possible so is it worth getting the lacquered finish or not? Or would they look too shiny?

:S Also with the dampers, if they've been done then you're onto a winner. If not, use it as a bargaining tool to get money off the purchase price so you can get them done. Most of them will have been done by now.

How so compared with other RS models? Apart from the dampers?

Cornering Force was £180 for both dampers when I got mine done. BG was around £400 then they try and sell you 'optional extras'. I got a set of used 182 Cup dampers for £50 off here in the marketplace, they're just sat in the garage now.

If you can stretch to a Trophy then do that. Out of the box, they are spot on and require no modifications, plus you get better seats and better resale value. If you do though, just make sure that the dampers have been refurbed with evidence, and test them when you view it (there should be next...

Sorry but again it seems you have no idea what you're talking about. In simple terms, 0n a Clio it's a gimmick. On a turbo'd car like this, it actually serves a decent purpose.

Only 182 CUP dampers will fit the Trophy. Send them off to Cornering Force, they are the best priced and also do a brilliant job.

Lovely photos :)

I bet! Are they both easy to install on a car like that? I've never looked into how they work.

Damnit I want a respray now! Hook me up? :o

I was driving behind a classic with antilag and that's what made me want to buy one! Obviously being 19 insurance didn't permit it so I had to have the next best thing :)

Thanks, it was an unequal length Borla manifold, Afterburner Vortex backbox and a straight through centre section. I got both cats removed afterwards but it ruined the exhaust note... sounded like a complete animal though. I've only ever heard one louder than mine.

Yep it was shocking mate. As I mentioned earlier in the thread I was getting 24mpg no matter how I drove it. Seriously slow too.

Nope I got them Scoobynet used off an STi, they were silver but my mate was going to spray all the parts for me. It would have looked spot on when finished, the plan was Rota Grid Drifts in bronze too eventually.
