It's coming up to a year since I bought the Trophy now and I thought I'd do a write-up on what I've done, the various different looks it's had and future plans all in one place.
As some of you may remember, I've had 2 Clios prior to this and not had a very good history with them (hence the thread title!).
Here's my very first car, the 1.2. Bought it standard, ended up like this;
A few cars later came the 172, again bought it standard, ended up like this;
Both engines went. After saying I'd never buy another Clio, a few cars later came my 7th: Trophy number 41.
I am the third owner, I picked it up last November with 66k miles, belts just been done, Yozzasport cat-back, full service history and a private plate for £3800. No idea why it was so cheap but it was too cheap NOT to buy!
It needed a few things doing, like the exhaust straightening, debadging, sticker coming off etc. but nothing major.
I quickly started to make it my own with a few new additions and changing things around.
Skoda splitter and 3/4 height plate;
Plain rear plate and tailpipes polished;
Xenons and flat-blade wipers;
Debadged and a bloody good wash. Snow foamed, washed with Dodo Juice shampoo, polished with SRP, waxed with Collonite 476.
