I thought i would inform you of some shocking information that i found out while renewing my insurance. When i purchased my Trophy last september Direct Line were my current insurers, so i phoned them and payed the additional £250. I payed this got the paper work through all was fine...

Took the Trophy to France for the gf birthday. Didn't go too far, just popping round a few villages before heading back to City Europe. But everywhere it went it turned people heads at bus stopsand in the street etc.. Couple of occasions i came back to the car after doing some shopping to...

Known locally amongst trade friends as 'Le 182 Bunker', I now have a unit to store cars available, cleaned and ready to go. As you may be aware, I don't just sell Clio Trophies, but really enjoy driving Trophy and Cup models - hence the bias towards them. e.g "Don't buy a Cooper S Works until...

Just spotted number 500 advertised on pistonheads. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/73994.htm

Just been looking around for insurance as mine is running out soon. Tesco quoted £381 fully comp with courtesy car £250 excess and legal protection. Didn't think that was bad as some people on here have been quoted over £700 from the main insurers. Tesco are underwritten by Direct...

Previously got what I thought was the cheapest quote through confused.com by Admiral - £870. Spoke to Darren @ Greenlight insurance who quoted me £757! Well worth checking out.

Alright chaps , just put a deposit on a trophy tonight . Trading in my 03 wrx hope i'm making the right descision :roll: Its a number not yet registed and i'll post it up as soon as it's comfirmed that everything is ok with the insurance etc Main reasons for the change are the huge...

How much does the air con weigh in the trophy? Was told about 40kg - sound about right? Also, is stripping it out classed as a modification for insurance purposes? Thanks

Feel better now after a few beers and hoping the chap from Dent Devils can restore my doors as new on Monday! If I did this to someone elses car i would leave my number on their windsreen. Am i in the minority group for being good citizen or just too stupid / honest? I'm not washing it...

For those of you that have tracked your trophy's what did you have to replace after the trackday. Obviously i'm thinking tyres, brake pads etc but did you actually have to replace them? or were they still ok?

Insurance is up for renewal and i've now got 5 years NCB. Directline want an extra £130 to protect my NCB. I am in two minds if i should splash out the extra for it. Especially as the trophy is soon to become my weekend car as i just can't keep doing 500-600 miles a week in it. With that in...

Why are people selling their trophies so soon? Is it due to common faults with the car? Just a thought.....

Hi everyone, I am going to book in a Permagard treatment for the little Clio. Anyone had any experience with the Permagard product? We have had a similar hard glossy coating on a car which we kept in very harsh conditions and it fared very well. BTW, they have quoted ~£150 for a...

so whos little nipper of the site? lol. im 22 by the way would be interesting to see the ages of other owners

Test-driving the £12995 trophy out of Renault in Coulsdon this Friday and boy am I going to wring it's neck out! I figure I'm going to head South towards Merstham on the A23 then return via the country roads through Chipstead that run parallel to the A23 to ensure that my passenger will...

Hi Love the garage feature, but really think it could do with some better search facilities. For example I wanted to search owners speaker upgrades but can only search on insurance premiums or members name. Would be nice if we could search through the headings - Engine, Brakes...

I slid my trophy into a ditch on some singal track roads. :cry: Had been getting my lift of over steer dialled on roundabouts and then tryed it on a tight bend oversteered to much went straight into the ditch luckily there wasn't a big impact although the car was on it's side. Has...

How many people pay for it? If not why not? Does your normal policy cover you? Are you so rich it doesn't matter? I'm interested because I would never consider going out on the track with cover, but some people seem to be very blase. From various people I've heard it suggested that all you...

hi all Paid the £500 deposit today, shame its the weekend as the car is in a warehouse somewhere and will be delivered on tuesday to the showroom. cannot wait!!! quote of £1300 tesco and im 22 Found the website by accident, and its good to see other people just like me!

I quite fancy a replacement Cat Back system, I think the trophy could have a far nicer bark to it then the standard exhaust, it sounds way too 'mechanical' at the moment. I've been looking around and it seems a lot of people recommend ProSpeed. I saw GaryG's 182 at the Bedford trackday and it...

I've been offered a group buy deal by YozzaSport on 182 Cat replacement pipes. This replaces the Catalytic convertor. And comes with a lifetime guarantee. Normal sale price is £140 (£125 + £15 del.) If 5 people are interested then they can be purchased for £115 each...

Have done 1300miles in my Trophy since mid-Dec. It has improved noticeably since then, but I still find it underpowered. I would expect more from a lightweight car with 2-litre 16valve engine - it just doesn't pull like I was expecting. A test drive I had in a standard 172 two years ago seemed...

Received a bluey Renault pack with a load of info through the post a few days ago, and today this one arrived, 'accident management pack' Torch/Pen/Crayon/disposable camera (2nd one i have from renault, got a good bag when i picked up my trophy with another in (launch day of the new...

I've seen these OMP strut braces on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWA:PIC http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... RK:MEWA:IT Would look great on a Trophy - I guess the rear bars are more for show but the front bar must help? Any body planning on fitting one...

I want something cheap to buy, and run, so i can keep the miles off my clio! All recomendations and suggestions welcome :) only clean replies please :wink: 8)
