Thanks guys, I’ll check them both out.

Hi All, My Trophy 220 is due a service, does anyone know of a reputable garage in or around the Basingstoke area? I'm trying to avoid a trip down to K-Tec if possible. Thanks

Yeah I have always lowered my cars when installing spacers. The monster truck look is not desirable unless I plan to attend any rodeos haha

Hi All, Has anyone got any pics of their Clio mk4 200/220t with front splitters/low line kit/ side skirts etc. fitted? Also has anyone fitted wheel spacers without lowering the car, does it look silly? Thanks

Thanks mate, it’s got everything. The only option it doesn’t have is the leather seats which I’m not too bothered about if I’m honest. It’s a Clio at the end of the day so wasn’t expecting luxury 😂. I rate the black pack with the yellow, probably one of my favourite bits. The view from the back...

Thanks bud, yeah its got the PS4s. To be honest that says a lot about the previous owner, shows they looked after it. I know the 182 trophy was designed with the pilot sports, assumed the new trophy was the same?

Thanks! The throttle map was set to snow which may be the default setting? Probably explains why the throttle electronically pushes down further once the torque has reached its set point in that map. It's raining here so I'll have a play when it's dry.

I saw that you mentioned this to someone else a while back on another thread. Is the track monitor associated with the RS monitor (or is it the same thing)? At the moment I'm still finding stuff out about the car but all I can see is lots of different pages showing lots of information and that's it?

Haha no way! I sometimes look just out of curiosity and never see many yellows with all the options. I was constantly checking autotrader etc for Audi RS3s and then just had a little look at Clios and saw this. I just paid the £200 reserve deposit so I could think about it without the risk of it...

Where is the meet on the 5th September?

Yeah that sucks a little. Renault upgraded seats were always decent. Shame the trophy didn’t have these options

Quite like the gearbox if I’m honest. Both my Golf R32 and R were DSG so I’m used to the auto. As it’s my daily driver it’s soo much easier. I have noticed the gear changes (in manual) are quicker than the Golf R and it kicks down in normal mode quick the than the Golf as well. So far so good

Hi everyone, I thought I’d share my new Trophy that I picked up yesterday from a garage near Leicester. A bit of an impulse buy if I’m honest but I have been very impressed with it so far (only driven 100 miles). I recently sold my mk7 Golf R as I was getting bored, I’d had it a few years and it...

Thanks guys, I’ll get a thread up when I have her. All this talk about the Akra is making me giddy. I really need to get my head around the car and the spec I have bought (sounds ridiculous 😂). I just saw it come up and thought, sod it I’ll reserve it before someone else beats me to it!

Good to hear they’re not dropping in price too much. I have only ever seen a few on the road so I assume they’re pretty rare.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have leather (doesn’t bother me too much), it has Bose and not sure about RS monitor? How would I know? The garage have removed it from the website so I can’t check now. The yellow, and black trim rather than the silver was the selling point if I’m honest.

No, loud exhausts are not my thing, I just like a bit of drama when I fancy a spirited drive. I had a golf R mk7 which was running around 400hp, I did a res delete on that as I wanted the pops and bangs on the gear changes. Before it was pretty tame. I’m sure the Akra exhaust will be great...

Thanks, fingers crossed she’s as good as she looks when I pick her up on Friday. ok so that answers the question as to why I can’t find anything on the Akra. I assume it sounds decent in real life (only seen YouTube clips) but thought I’d look into potential mods if doable. Yeah I think remap...

Hi All, I have just put a deposit down for a Clio 4 trophy which I should be picking up on Friday. It’s a bit of an impulse buy as I was in the market for an RS3 😅. That being said I’m currently doing some research on the car but can’t seem to find a lot online….Not for the 220 trophy anyways. I...

Thanks for your help, I know what you are saying....my Audi cost £21000 and sold for £23500 with 54k miles and full Audi service history. You could buy same spec but with 60k+ miles for £18000. The difference was mine was immaculate so therefore made it rarer due to condition for its age but it...

Green your from Basingstoke?? Same. Fortunately I have made money on every car I have owned so I don't plan to break that over a Clio, maybe the trophy will have to be the way forward.

Yeah mate, should of gone down the C63 route which is what I'll be doing next. The rs4 doesn't feel like a 420bhp car...it's too refined and feels the same at 140mph as it does at 30mph. Test drove the C63 recently and that's just drama even at idle

I made more money on my RS4 in the 18 months of owning it than what any ISA account would offer in interest. With cars it's about getting sought after models. E.g I bought my Clio trophy for £4700, then sold it 2 years later for £4,800...not a big difference I know but I had put 20k miles more...

You're right but the Trophy costs about 3k more now than what I sold mine for 5-6 years ago.

Ok thanks for you quick responses!

Haha I had that with my R32....paid £7500 for it then sold it 3 years later for £7850 to a garage. Most people valued it at £4000 max! I always think if you have a mint example then someone will pay top price for the right one. Are people still having to get someone on here to get the steering...

Hi, I used to own a Clio 182 Trophy which was a great car which I sold to go traveling. Since then I have owned a mk4 Golf R32 then onto a B7 RS4. Now I own nothing because I made a load of money out of my RS4 and truth be told.....it was boring!! The trophy was the best car I have owned by a...
