carbon

What do people think of the K-Tec carbon bonnet? If anyone got one would they leave it or paint it? just wondering what people think as i'm in two minds a) Whether to get one? and b) whether to paint it or leave it? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1159 Cheers

Firstly I'd like to point out I've had permission from the moderators for this post as it could be viewed as an 'advert' Some background: at some stage, and 'when' will depend on many factors, the dampers will need replacing/rebuilding. The replace cost is prohibative and there's...

Need to get a replacement front splitter, anyone know a good source for these? I'm pretty reluctant to pay the £120 Renault want for what is essentially just a piece of shaped black plastic and probably costs 50p to make. Any help much appreciated, i'm going to France at the end of the...

Its time for some new brake pads. I was going to get some Feroda DS2500's but I'm struggling to find these. Has anyone any experience or opinions on the Mintex Extreme range? I can get these from our local motor factor.I don't intend using the car on track days, I just want some good all round...

I always see you in the Gym carpark :) i drive the Liquid yellow renault sport I put a flyer on your drivers side window tonight

I had my 2nd coat of Permagard applied last week. I also treated the car to everything else on the Permagard list for good measure: full interior clean and protection, glass treatment and last but not least, engine treatment. Keep in mind my car now has 25,000 (motorway) miles on it...

Just removed a set of Carbon Fibre Wing Mirrors and plates they sit on from my Trophy. They look really good as the Carbon Fibre has been made very well and laquered. They do have some scratches on them but look great when fitted. The plates have to be fitted to the clio's Doors this means...

I have just been reminded that in 2011/2012 the 'fleet average' emissions come donwnot 120 gms/km. It is about 160 plus at present - and the 197 as an example is 209. Goodness knows how it will be achieved; I would guess that low volume exotics will stay for the high price halo effect, but...

Hi all ive got a trophy with a sticking throttle when you floor the throttle in say 2nd or 3rd, when you press the clutch down to change gear the engine just revs up like its out of gear, like someone has just floored the throttle and it just revs up to the limiter and sits bouncing of it...

Just picked up 299 and was in Aldershot and saw 2 Trophy's there! 1 with a carbon bonnet. Anyone on here?

Broke my fron splitter this morning :( Very amateur I know.. £150 from Renault for a new plastic one! Then I remembered this http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=977 which is both cheaper and not plastic. Anything else I should consider before adding the above to the list for...

Clio trophy number 341 of 500 in the world! I have another child on the way and just had to pay for conservatory so it has to go. It has had a service/oil change at GDI (Renault specialist) as well as braided brake lines, semi carbon discs with ferrodo racing pads at 4k miles and its yearly...

Hi all ive got a brand new panel filter for a 182 Trophy. Got it today via courier from K-TEC, But i hae ordered a Carbon Simota Aerofoam Induction Kit so dont really need it now. Offers Please. Thanks Paul

Is there any reason not to replace the standard filter with an after market panel filter? I've read that induction kits are pointless unless you have a re-map, which i'm not going to do. So is it ok to pop a new panel in, is there any point, what difference will it make?

hi all does anyone no where i can get a set of dash inserts these are the silver bits of plastic above the glove box and a small bit right of the steering wheel above the cruise control switches. I basically want them in carbon fibre so does anyone no where i can purchase them if made in...

hi all, Im after a carbon fibre engine cover does anyone no where i can get 1 from dont want the shi**y plastic grey 1 as ive got future plans of carbon.Thanks

Hi ive just bought a trophy and just wondered if anyone had a exhaust and a induction kit for sale. The exhaust could be any make. The filter would be Maxogen carbon or any with a cold air feed Ram Air ive heard is good also anything considered. Also Carbon engine cover also wanted...

13:30 yesterday afternoon heading away from Fenny Lock..... YR55 *** I was going the otherway from you in the Liquid Yellow 182

This topic is going to affect every one of us in one way or another, and most of us directly, so please take the time to read it and go online to sign the petition. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device for your car and paying...

Just found this, anyone used these kits? http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/shop/products.php?g1=4b6d8f

Anyone any idea how the gearknob comes off, does it simply unscrew? Ive never really liked the clios plastic gearknob and fancy swapping it for a nice leather momo one or something similar. With it being a lift up reverse the choice of suitable gearknobs is a bit limited - anyone changed theirs?

Hey all, after being too late on car 002 (congrats to the guy that bought it from Steve!) I've been searching around trying to track another one down. Found a few on auto trader and wondered if anyone knows the cars at all... I found 496 331 and a couple of others but they don't list the...

Hi all im getting a trophy asap just wanted to no what the best exhaust and induction kit is for this Car thought id ask the owners. Thanks

What are the main things I should check for when viewing trophys? :)

Middo on cliosport hand made these using real Carbon Fibre - very neatly done, the lacquer got marked in transit through misfortune and so I've re-finished them and you can see how they shine. I've had them in the car and don't like the look of them... nothing ventured nothing gained huh...

Saw these on Ebay and thought i'd post the link (have a look at the sellers other items too), if people still want keyrings it might be worth contacting the guy - a little piece of carbon fibre with the Trophy logo would be pretty cool.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-renault-CLIO- ... dZViewItem

What has anyone done to upgrade the sometimes less than enthusiastic brakes on a Trophy. For road use, not trackday. Need to feel like they are stopping the car. Thinking Brembo Hi Carbon discs, Ferodo pads (model type?) Braided hoses etc.
