Clio trophy Pre-Winter Pics

[Stefan.]

I just look at the pictures

 

[Austin-182]

What wheels are they exactly?

 

[Clio RS 172]

nice trophy

 

[jesus]

Not a fan mate, the wheels don't suit it IMO. The rest looks good though, like the black badges

 

[Kane.]

Not a fan of the wheels mate but LOVE the seats. Want want want!

+1 to the seats.

 

[Feirny]

I really really want to like that James, as it looks awesome. However, I'm a bit of a Trophy purist

 

[Tombola]

Sorry but not liking this.

 

[aucky]

Ahhh i see, that comment. Was the trophy a different chassis/shell compared with the rotm 182s?

Yes. End of production model therefore a less mature version of the cheese-metal they favour in Dieppe

 

[aucky]

p.s. I actually quite like the wheels. I'm not 100% sold on the colour though.

 

[Jon.G]

I want to hate, but blimey. It looks awesome.

So thats why the bonnets go rusty?! :rasp:

Its like the red wax on Edam. They missed a patch on my bonnet.

Not to worry, mini winter resto-money-pit coming soon.

 

[Rob]

I love that. Awesome.

 

[cb10]

looks fantastic mate. love to see somrthing different and fresh. the seats are top banana, i want want want!!!!

 

[Chris205]

Looks tidy mate, crying out for some smaller profile tyres and more stance.

Get that pole position sat lower and get that 'other mod' fitted and it will look awesome

 

[It's.Lee]

What the f**k is "stance"

 

[Dan-]

very nice

 

[p@blo]

Its like the red wax on Edam.

LOL-isn't what they've actually used for the matte red on the 200 raider?

 

[BlazeYouQuick]

Tidy, tidyyyy.

Like those wheels.

 

[JamesT87]

The wheels are a bit marmite I know but they really do look good in the flesh hopefully I'll borrow my mates slr and take some better photos next year!

The seat is fantastic. It sits about 15mm lower than the standard recaro and the fit is perfect!

Mods over winter touch wood are:
Megane hybrid turbo conversion
Modified safety devices cage
Possibly Alcon calipers if I can get my mate to sell me them
Some engine bling and braces and coolers
New style rs badge

Then she's done!

Saw this in the flesh the other week when i picked up some rims from James, it does indeed look awesome. The wheels really suit the red and speaking to james you realize that he really knows his stuff and all of the mods are we'll thought out, genuine improvements. In fact, I suspect he's spent more on the suspension components than renault did. The seats will look great in my 182 when he fancies a change. Top work James, Can't wait to see the turbo conversion!

 

[Sam]

That is lush. More unedited pics needed.

 

[jack_davey]

That looks great, I bought a set of BBS RX wheels for my 182 when I first bought it but unfortunately the centre bore was too small and I didnt want to go messing around machining them etc.
Did you have to enlarge the centre bore of these wheels?
What are they from? Polo Gti or something else made by VW?

 

[mr. ski]

You know my thoughts mate!!

Love it!!

 

[Spark]

Thats real nice!

 

[Hixle]

I need that seat in my life, lol!

 

[jesus]

Any more pics of the rear/badges mate?

 

[cliojack]

absolutly love it

Thanks mate, Next year we will deffo have to organize a photo shoot.

Thanks for all the comments,

I am in two minds now whether to go to 2118's in anthracite or stay with the BBS's and get some lower profile tyres. what shall I do!!!???

 

[Munson]

OEM+ as f**k.

 

[Jon.G]

2118's IMO.

 

[It's.Lee]

Keep the BBS on it. They look awesome.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Interior is epic!!
Wheels not so - clio is too curvy to pull them off imho.

Re: the coilovers. Each to their own, i love the drive of the Sachs.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Secret love for that tbh!

Shouldn't work, but it does...nice choice of colour

 

[andywa]

Looks stunning mate.

 

[Leeshez]

Now i do like that.

Yeah, a photoshoot would be great, might even have mine done by then (finally got the RS192 on last w/e).

Personally I think the 2118s on low pros would look the nuts with the coilovers (but then again it's nice that you have done something different).

 

[Wick]

Seat and wheels!! <3

 

[JamesT87]

OK I think ive come to the conclusion that although the BBS's are cool im not 100% sold on them..... the wheel hunt begins

Im not sure whether to go motorsport styled or something with a bit of a dish like a BBS RM ?

 

[It's.Lee]

No!!!!!!!!!

Sure it will still be awesome
