a good coat of wax, sat on its arse, and a splitter for good measure ?



Thanks BTW !

 

[jack_davey]

Sorry to have a b**ch, but me and several mates agreed this is the worst clio trophy we have ever seen.
It has a number plate that is most easily recognised as "t**t"
Wheels downgraded from the really nice trophy alloys to smaller 2118s with no centre caps...WHY?
Mirrors gone from body colour to black... WHY?

Yellow harnesses??? yukkk! colour clash!

These are the only things that we noticed at first glance, dare I ask what other vandalism has been committed?

Each to their own and all, but I'm always of the opinion when you buy a limited edition car it should be left alone.

 

[Slammed172]

Jack_Davey, i have to agree there.

Although i love 2118's, but just only on the sport models not trophy's.

 

[jon_r]

I think its fantastic. The wheels weigh a lot less, The car is used on track hence the harnesses and the reason it's not in the clouds. Also, the guy's name is Mat - hence the plate!

As for the mirrors, i've no idea, but what I am sure of, is that if everybody liked the same thing then it'd be a rather boring place!

 

[jack_davey]

Yeah I gathered his name was Mat, but still, several people said it looked like it was supposed to say TW@T
The turinis are a fairly light wheel anyway, I cant see any significant weight saving by switching to 2118s.
I can also understand the use of harnesses, but yellow on a red car? Nasty!
I agree it would be boring if everyone liked the same thing, but as I've already said I wasnt alone in thinking that trophys should be left alone.

 

[Inferno]

Lol, you guys should try talking to the owner! The mirrors are black as he's fed up with replacing the body coloured ones everytime he goes down his local lanes! The 15's are on there for the track, and you can do many more track days if the tyres cost half that of 16's! He'd have centre caps if he could find some too!

Mat was a nice guy to talk to at the meet too, he was actually saying he wasn't sure if he wanted to go any further as currently it can go back to standard!

 

[Englebert]

LOL @ Turinis being lightweight!

 

[Fletcher]

Mat's trophy looks great imo, loving the 15' anthracite turinis :approve:

 

[Brett]

All mint, looks like a good turnout.

Go neil!

 

[inferno182cup]

i definitely agree they should be left alone. do like the wheels but not on a trophy! dont understand the plastic mirrors either. other than that love the trophys. any luck with getting the muf at halfords jack???

 

[jack_davey]

LOL @ Turinis being lightweight!

Isnt that why they fit them to the trophy in the first place?

lol! nah I tried but no joy!... sorry about that!

 

[chrismason]

nah me neither, tell you what though, went to motorworld and they gave me a free ring ding and offered me a service provider who would provide a service which would be internet providings which are six times quicker lol

 

[Amy]

On crack, chris?

Mat's trophy isn't so bad, but as a limited edition car that comes with several extras as standard, I would have left it as it was. Fair play on the track days though, i guess.

 

[Leeshez]

Very colourful .

 

[chrismason]

crack? noooo. ketamine, yes

 

[*Clare*]

Good pics Col... While Deb, Ollie and me sheltered under the umbrella!!!

 

[Guppy]

Mat's trophy looks great imo, loving the 15' anthracite turinis :approve:

+1. my fave trophy. used and abused!!

 

[Tigger]

Love that Ph1! Just looks so mean and aggressive - nuts! :approve:

 

[Ian_182]

That first pic has such a good spectrum of colours

 

[chrismason]

Second picture, forth car from the left, blue with number plate Lw52? is it?
Would love to see some pictures of your engine bay, forgot to take some, that was running some serious power

 

[Amy]

[chrismason]

:S

 

[chrismason]

haha hopefully he will notice this thread soon

 

[Guppy]

was it itb's (throttle bodies) or an itg maxogen?

 

[Englebert]

Has to be ITBs to ge that power...

 

[AlexG]

I thought throttle bodies would only bring it up to around 220ish bhp. turbo'd ones are 240ish+ bhp i think

 

[Guppy]

yep just find it interesting how this lads claiming 240bhp with a maxogen?:S

Jeesus fella, don't hold back! The RS clio's drive better on 15's, hence the reason for them (plus you get a wider choice of cheaper rubber, espec for track tyres). Mirror cap, big issue?? At least it's being used properly, there's a lot of people on here that seem to spend all their time polishing their cars, forgetting that at the end of the day, they are Clio's.

doesn't even say that...could just be panel filter for all we know lol...

wish I had a look under there now, I must have been in the pub when they had the bonnet up
