Sad face, exhaust has blown behind the cat, so it's time for a Scorpion 192 or similar. Car is currently parked up at work in Sheffield, so can anyone recommend a good exhaust spot in South Yorkshire, or within a reasonable drive at least? Ideally somewhere that stocks or would fit a Scorpion...

Couldn't find anything on search, is there a f**kwit's guide to changing bulbs, preferably with pics? I'll be looking at dipped and main beams (no point upgrading side lights) Phillips foolish bright, obviously. Hands aren't those of a three year old, will it be struggle? <edit> Trophy btw...

Evenin' all, Living in great fear of having to replair/replace a Sachs damper, I'm looking at the 2 year warranty extension thorugh Renault. Has anyone else gone for it and had good or bad times as a result? It's also the time for the evil 36k service. Any particularly good/bad experiences...

I did enjoy watching it try to keep up, but keep getting smaller and smaller, hopefully like the ego of the rather cliched bloke driving it.

Nice motor, spotted it walking to the start of the half marathon in the village this Sunday.

Did anyone on here crash their cup or other Clio with what appeared to be Turinis on the Snake pass (a57 going Manchester to Sheffield) at about 5:00 this after?

Standard Radio/CD player on Trophy appears not to want to turn on. Is there some random series of things you can do to "childlock" it, dnd if so, how do you reverse it? Battery hasn't been disconnected or anything, and alarm hasn't been triggered. Just wondering if it's some Renault random...

Test drive that is. Got to have a door dink quoted for (lass at work owned up, props) so I'm going to have a blip round in the 197 at the same time. Other half might be flogging the GTI, so mise well have a look.

Heading towards Sheffield with a personal plate, you passed me and the other half in the Trophy. Now to rain on your parade I'm afraid, between the boot and back seats, we had a dozen cases of botted Chinese beer :) I think this constitutes a weigh penalty in BTCC ;)

I'm toying with getting an Alpine 9850 head (the one with the integral iPod connector lead). What would be good speakers to pair with this. Ideally these should be a nice easy swap out (I'll be getting Halfrauds or similar to do it, as I know nothing about ICE) May also go with the stalk...

reg M22*** Parked up in Tesco in Wath about 5:30 tonight. I was in the Trophy across the way, with my other half's Mk II 16v GTI next to it. Anyone here? Cheers

...she is mine 265/500 :D

Here's an odd thing, I'm picking my Trophy up on Friday now, but my other half picked the post up today, and I have a V5 from the DVLA for the Trophy with my personal plate on it! I've only paid the deposit so far, tempting... Has this happened to anyone else? (I was originally going to pick...

Does anyone have a handy checklist for picking up a new car? Specifically one for a Trophy? Reason is, I'm no sure what the story is with tins of tyre foam, cargo net, locking wheel nuts, etc etc etc. Thanks in advance.

Don't want to put too many details in order not to prejudice any legal proceedings, but my dealers called to advise that they are now unlikely to be able to source a Trophy. I got a loan and the other half bought me a personal plate too on the basis of the order I placed. Already taken...

Hi, hopefully getting my Trophy in the next couple of weeks, but will need to replace the OEM headunit fairly sharpish, lots of MP3 discs will be getting dusty otherwise. I'll also need something to cover the rattles ;) According to the blurb, Alpine headunits are compatible with most...

Back from my jollies, today's the day to go to the garage and finalise the price and trade in for the Trophy. Annoyingly, I've now got a small scratch on the bonnet of the C2, which I have no doubt theyll exploit to try and lower the trade in allowance. Wish me luck!

... 182s, cups and Trophys are left to be sold now? I had a search but couldnt find the thread that seemed to link into an official looking source from a few weeks ago. I need to know just how far I can push the dealers, Im going to be on my jollies from 21st to 8th, and dont want too come...

Hi all, Im toying with a 182 cup with the tasty seats, as I find the standard fit ones a bit uncomfortable. The dealers have advised I dont have a prayer of getting a test drive in one, as they are only ever factory options. Ive actually still not had a blast in an actual cup (as opposed to a...
