Clio trophy Pre-Winter Pics

[JamesT87]

I thought id take a few pictures before the trophy goes away for winter.

Recent changes are:
BBS Splits,
Hubcentric Spacers and Lightweight Extended Lug nut/stud conversion
RS192 Exhaust
Leather/Alcantara Recaro pole position seat
Xenons

Ill make a full spec list when the cage and engine are finished early next year.

Comments welcome

You have coilovered a Trophy?

 

[It's.Lee]

Pretty. I like it.

So refreshing to see a Trophy with some different wheels fitted! Hard to tell on this screen but are the rims painted the same grey as the inner? How much do they weigh?

They are about the same weight an absolute pig to make fit though! The rims are high polished and the centres are powdercoated battleship Grey

Pretty. I like it.

Cheers mate!

Yep, I really think the sachs are overated on anything other than a B-road. My setup is H+R's with 500FT/lb front springs and AST top mounts. I much prefer this setup to the Sachs and I have a whiteline ARB and MF Koni shocks ready to go soon so should be even better!

 

[It's.Lee]

Actually I love it. The more I look at it the more I think it's f**king awesome. Well done it's a bit special.

 

[Hixle]

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

Its my dad's its off of an old car he had 540BMW hence the S40BMM lol random I know!

 

[LiamR172]

thats one of the best looking clios ive seen. really love those wheels on it too. suits it well!!

Don't have anything against it. Just confused as to why you'd pay the premium for essentially what is now a red 182. So really paid a premium for Capsicum Red paint. Looks good though.

 

[Sipha]

Lurvley !!

I'm so tempted by a Trophy..

 

[Stefan.]

Nice mate, wasnt to sure on the wheels at first then looked at it again and its looks sweet, prob better in the flesh too, what have you done with your old seats and sachs...sold them?

or perhaps is now a coiloverd trophy lol. I dont see the problem with putting coilovers on a trophy aslong as there as good or even better.

There isn't an issue, I just wouldn't bother paying the extra for a Trophy if I was going to strip it of everything you pay the extra money for lol. But like I said, looks good, if it handles better then bonus. I couldn't care less about "ruining" a Trophy. It's only a car.

Agreed. Personally If I had a Trophy I'd have to put some Raceland coilovers on it, maybe key a penis into each panel too just to make it my own.

More pics of the seats please!

 

[p@blo]

LIKE!

On a serious note though, credit to you man. Nice to see something a little 'outside of the box'.

 

[JT182]

They're the best hot hatch ever made! First photo's brilliant, when I had mine I always thought they should have had xenons as standard.

Seats look epic! The wheels however are not to my taste at all.

 

[Gavin.]

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

 

[Brookie.]
