At Tunerfest? Was probably me

I'm 50/50 at the moment, but yes I'd convoy down

Hi guys. Thought I'd knock up a little thread detailing the life of #456. I don't have big plans for the car really, just wanted to make a timeline of things and give the car a bit of extra history. I bought #456 in March last year from JohnnyE. I wasn't originally looking for a Trophy, but...

No not with Plastikote. That's why I used it. B&Q sell it if you have one near you.

Rubbed down with some wet and dry and then a a few coats of Plastikote satin black

Anyone know the bolt size and thread pitch of the bolt that holds the rear seats in? The one in the middle, underneath the isofix bar. I'll need to cut mine out as it's rounded, but I can get a replacement bolt through work

Thanks for the comments. Been using Hot Wheels on my alloys this weekend and found it hasn't removed everything, so maybe a job for Iron X anyway.

Painted my front grille. Previous owner had glued it too the bumper, so couldn't remove it Also removed the wheels to properly clean and seal them with Planet Polish wheel seal. What a mundane job that turned out to be!

Is this safe? Can't see why it wouldn't be but want to check. It's much cheaper than Iron-X (£4 in Asda)

Any opinions on my current detailing routine for my Trophy? AG tar remover Bilt hamber clay Megs stage 1 paint cleaner AG SRP AG EGP Megs #26 Yellow wax This is all stuff I've bought over the years. Not what I've specifically gone out and bought. Do i need the paint cleaner and EGP stages...

For future reference, EuroCarParts do supply ABS sensors for the 182. The Bosch ones they list do not fit, but the ATE ones are the correct ones. ATE rear N/S ABS sensor. Part number: 417745750 £114 back in August, but they're showing as £58 online at the moment Also can't see why they would...

Update The dash reset cleared it. Cheers.

^^^ Will give it a try, cheers. I did wonder if Renault's had this function like Ford's do.

Car cut out on me yesterday morning (An ongoing issue I'm trying to get to the bottom of) However upon restarting this time, the fuel light came on. Fuel gauge showing 1/4 tank. Stayed on despite several normal restarts that day. This morning I had another cut out, restarted (takes a few...

How similar is it to the dash strips? I don't want it to look different to the dial surround

Could do with repainting the dash strips in my Trophy. Does anyone know the actual paint code or know of a similar silver? I want the same satin finish

Same problem here. I originally though it was something to do with the power steering switch, but it'll still cut out if the wheel is only half turned. Is yours an intermittent problem, or everytime you start the car?

You need a gutterless fixing setup for a Clio. Something like Thule 754 and the 1119 fitting kit. Looking into the very same thing myself at the moment as I need to get my bike around, but don't want to put it inside the car. At the same time, I'm worried about a gutterless setup damaging the...

I thought it looked familiar!

What did Buckley Tyres charge for an alignment check? A friend needs his Impreza doing and Demon Tweeks charge a fortune a proper setup

Anyone know what this plug is? Found it coiled up in front of the battery with a good length of wiring.

What would you recommend for a Trophy? Wouldn't mind spacing the wheels out a little, but don't want any scrubbing

This is one of the worries you have as a Ford owner. I didn't realise is well Renaults were undersealed - or how badly Fords were, till I viewed a Clio for a friend last year.

Not a huge fan of the Recaros either. They look great, but nowhere near as supportive as older style Recaros

Sounds great. I seriously considered your car too. Glad you've found a good home for it

Yeah. How well do they match the Recaros? Not a fan of the cup spec rear seats in mine

Any new interior shots? Interested to see how well the rear seats match the recaros.

Ok let me know

No particularly shiny photos, but thought I'd stick some photos up of my Trophy while out on a drive today
