Remarkable result brings distinction (6)
I believe the answer is:
lustre
'distinction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'remarkable result' is the wordplay.
'remarkable' indicates an anagram.
'result' is an anagram of 'LUSTRE'.
'brings' is the link.
(Other definitions for lustre that I've seen before include "Gloss, brightness" , "Radiance; reflective surface" , "brilliance" , "Distinction < in five years" , "Soft brightness or glory" .)
