I’m selling my Clio Trophy, number 320. This must be the best value Trophy you can get ! You'll notice I've a previous advert in the forum but have now set the price to sell at £3,500 ...

I’m selling number 320. Edinburgh, near the airport and happy to pick you up. Excellent condition, paintwork excellent and interior spotless. I planned to keep it and looked for a very good one without worrying about mileage. Over the last few months I have started the process of refreshing...

Hello, I've bought a trophy and I love it lots, but there's a couple of niggles: 1) I feel the car is slightly down on power, the car has an incomplete service history and i'm told the cambelt was changed by the previous owner, it's suggested that I get the timing checked, does anyone know how...

Can you fit 195 tyres to the trophy turini's? I've heard you can but never seen anyone with them fitted.

I've managed to source Yoki 195/50R15 for £62.30+ each, now I believe this to be a good price is there any others I brands I should consider before shelling out?

got these for the clio after suffering 2 winters with poor grip on the michelins. 4x 15" pirelli snow control tyres and genuine Oz F1 wheels. the tyres give increased grip over the michelins in anything below 8 degrees. in retrospect, well worth the investment to get better grip over winter...

For sale I have one Trophy Turini in good condition (pic to follow) with brand new budget tyre on it (205/45/16). Wheel and tyre does not include centre cap which are about £17 from Renault. Ideal as a spare - £120. Price does not include postage/freight. Happy to post - but at your cost.

Hi guys, title says it all. It's only a thought in the pipeline as I've just stumbled on what looks like a bargain at snetterton, £49 for the day, 15 may. Thing is, my car is absolutely standard, and I don't plan on modding, but I just want to see what the trophy can do in a safe environment. I...

Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

Any recommendations on tyres? I've got some budgets on mine, but would probably go premium soon. They will be for road use. Thanks

Hi Guys , well have only just got my very first Renault Sport and it's number 451. I have driven lots of fast Clio's over the years and was looking for a reasonably priced Clio for trackdays and a little bit of agile fun. I have always loved the look of the Trophy and even though I am a VAG man...

Couple of weeks ago someone decided that using the rear end of my trophy would be a better way to stop than using their brakes :mad: I am in the process of paying the salvage costs and will have a CAT C write-off trophy for either sale as a whole or to be broken up. The only damage is to the...

Hi all, Just wondering about alloy wheel fitment on Trophy's. Is it correct that the standard fitment on T's is et43 and on 172/182 cups it is et37? This means that the front track is 12mm narrower than other sport clips. I know if you move the wheel further out, your kpi centre line is...

Has anyone fitted winter tyres to their Turinis? I've got 2 full sets of wheels now so am hoping to do so soon. I recall reading somewhere that it's worth fitting slightly narrower tyres (more choice and saves money too!). I was thinking 195/45/R16 instead of the standard 205's? Will these...

I'll start us off... Just spotted myself outside my old house, waiting for mobile tyre change! This must be 4-5 years ago now. Any others out there??

Original trophy tyre date 1605 is the date - at least 4mm tread, probably more like 5. No sidewall cracking, great condition. £40 posted.

I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll. I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...

I am in need of 4 new tyres and looking at prices for premium brand 205/45/16 tyres are £100+ each including P&P/fitting. I used to run a ph2 172 and they ran on 195/45/16. I remember with Conti Sport on the 172 the handling was more playful than the Trophy. Has anyone considered or are...

Can anyone help me? My car is staying on full lock. I accelerate and put on full lock without touching the steering it stays on full lock and drives around in circles. When I reverse the steering comes back. i have tried all the basic things such as tyre pressure, changed wheels around...

Can somebody please report back on the following: Driving straight ahead at 60+ MPH using small movements of the wheel around the centre is there much "feel/feedback"? I have had lots of work done on curing a wandering/tramlining problem which is now sorted and the handling/steering feel is now...

Hi, I am doing my first track day oct 14th at angelsey (anyone coming?) I plan on changing my brake fluid and wondered what people used and recommend?! Also,would braded lines be a worthy upgrade or are they already braded on the Trophy? I have red stuff pads at present and grooved discs that...

I'm in the market for another Clio Trophy. Having had one before I know what there all about and think it would make a great weekend toy. I'm in no made rush but clearly wanna get the best one for my money. Ie dampers done if poss as well as good service history. Is it worth looming for one with...

Hi guys i have found 387 at a local garage, she has 70k on the the clock and is advertised at £4850, i have asked about the dampers and the garage owner has said he has no paperwork on them! disks and pads look very tired. There is a small rust spot on the bonnet but other than that she looks...

Front ones yellow, rears black is this right?

The alloy has light curbing marks on the edge of the rim and the tyre hass app 2.5mm of tread so will need replacing soon if being put on the car. Ive only had it as an emergency spare but never used it. £60 collected, cheers glen
