Both good cars, I've driven pretty much all the RS clio's. I prefer the more 'raw' feel of the ph1 172, but I can see the appeal of the 197's, just not for me.
Trophy's are great, I loved mine. Best standard car I've ever driven. I do prefer my 172 on AST's, but it is a slightly harsher ride (but you have a choice of springs). For 8k, you could get a great 172, AST's, and better seats than the Trophy. Thats where my money would go.
Got some resistors from maplin for deactivating the airbag light (after fitting new seats). There are 4 wires in total, 2 each seat. Do I fit 1 resistor per wire (so 4 in total) or 1 resistor per pair of wires (2in total).
Cheers
Your (scottish) opinion. The diesel Meg sport laps Bedford quicker than the 197cup (in Evo), so I fail to see how it would be close to the R26. When Autocar did the big test last year, "dropped the 197 with ease".
