Having had a clio mk3 1.2 TCE for a while, then moving on to a Lupo Gti for 18 months, I've now made a return to clio ownership with Trophy (No.248)...
Bought it from a guy in Grantham not too far from me, it was his wifes run around and has only covered 22k, already had the dampers refurbished by BG Motorsport along with them being unpinned. The previous owner had it set 4 clicks softer than the standard damping setting so thats got right back to where it should be now
.
Its only ever had the intermediate services so I've got it booked in for the 5 year major service (cambelt, aux belt etc) with Fred in a few weeks. Just contemplating the much debated dephaser change and whether I'll have that done as well despite the low mileage.
Had it around 2 weeks now, but due to the weather I've not really been able to take it out and see what it can really do so just been taking it easy, its killing me!
First chance I've had to give it a proper wash inside and out and its come up pretty well I think. You can see the mk3 1.2 TCE lurking in the background, thats now my brothers. No major plans as yet, just a few small things to tidy it up, the variable wiper stalk conversion, 3/4 size no. plate with correct spacing, silvervisions, leather rear bench and doorcards to match.
And a quick iphone shot of the trohy next to the old lupo before it went...
