Depends on the car too. I think an R26R was summat like 15-20secs quicker on the 'ring when running r888s compared to ps2s but a Focus RS was only a second or 2 quicker compared to it's standard tyres which I think are conti 3s like my 200s

Wow! Glad you lived!! As I wouldn't call it being ok after that. Nice to see not too many holyier than thou comments. We have all done something silly behind the wheel but 99% of the time you get away with it!

When selling honesty in the advert goes a long way. Tell it as it is and there will be no problems. Saying mint and first to see will buy just puts people off. I sold my trophy in 10 days without paying for advertising and I described ever tiny issue.

If you are trading for another renault lookers chester offered me £1000 more than anywhere else. IMO this forum over estimates the Trophy's value, people ask more for private sales that dealers ask and dealers will offer at least £2k less than the put em up for. But try private, you may get...

I have had 2 172 Cups and a Trophy and for me the Trophy is so much better. Thats not to say the 172 Cup isnt great, I'd love to have one back as a track slag.

I ran em on my trophy! Basically better in the dry and worse in the wet!

Re: 2005 Renault Clio Trophy, over 7K spent! Big Spec! £1k worth of suspension setup by a guy in a shed vs £4k setup by Jean Ragnotti! It's like going to the fat duck and sending the food back and asking for a burger king. £8k? For a 182 Cup? You could get low mile Trophy for that!

Bump

I know its not a Trophy but I just thought I'd post! (I have owned one and still love 'em) Anyway, This month my car is entered in Vertar's Car Of The Month competition. I would really appreciate your votes, a lot of time went into this car when I got it. The first detail took me approx 14...

I had new cams fitted to my 172 Cup. Biggest waste of money going!! A set of Hankook RS2s for a fraction of the price will do loads more to make you go faster.

It's just an inferno cup! Cups do come with a crap steering wheel, just like the 197/200 cups. Only the 172 Cup has a propper wheel!

I was one if the people who criticised the 197s steering. That's all fixed with the 200 Cup, the steering is perfect!!

Without going into it too much I have a 200 and sold my Trophy to get it! Love the 200 more!!

£4500 will be the glass' guide price. £5000 from a dealer is about right and they don't care about damper rebuilds either. Private should get you £6500-7000, I got £7200 for mine on 23k

It should come of very easily. Clay bar, tar remover, paint clenser, t cut or similar( personally I wunt use that though), maybe even some polish or even wd40!
