pretty much what he said, bit lighter than 182, bit heavier than a 172 cup. I would highly recommend a test drive mate. I love mine to bits. you been on www.cliotrophy.co.uk yet?

There is also a trophy decal (sticker) on the sideskirts near the rear wheels........most important part lol.

Beef-Mc · Jan 4, 2008

Keeping their prices up pretty well anaw.

I've just sold my high bhp Evo 6 and bought one. I can honestly say I really really like this car. My one is also fitted with some whilteline goodies too! (rear ARB and lower front lock brace.) So the handling is even better.

I bought it as a cheaper to run car for the wife (compared to the Evo) as I really don't use a car much due to me having my work van. I've been driving it at any given opportunity...Lol

Its a cheap, fast and extremely good handling car. What more would you want.

The seats are just like those in the Evo, if i have to say something bad about the car its got to be the steering wheel. Its just to dam big. I'd change it but i'm really liking the cruise control features.

Fletcher · Jan 4, 2008

^^^^^I agree with you about the steering wheel, they are massive.

Giles · Jan 4, 2008

why trophy insurance group 17 & the FF 182 is 16??

dandycaptain · Jan 4, 2008

It's more desirable, more unique and harder to replace, therefore it's in a higher group

jocker · Jan 4, 2008

its a great car and awesome in the wet

well said but you will get use to the steering wheel. I think it looks great and cruise is a nice touch, just a little bit bigger than other small cars.

*Badger* · Jan 4, 2008

No Xenons or Climate Control ?

Never knew that, presumed it would have with the 182FF having it. So just normal air con, or no air con at all? And standard cheaper to replace lights! Would still have one i reckon.

Stevie · Jan 4, 2008

^^ yeh to save weight, comes with the stardard aircon like in normal clios.

No, it was a lad in Durham i bought mine from. Although the first owner was in fife but i dont know where.

Any reason?

Beef-Mc · Jan 8, 2008

JustI remeber one from sale from their and the owner was an offical distributor of the whiteline goodies.

I'm not on a commission just saw it this morning and know that it is dirt cheap. £8995. Was interested myself but hard to justify changing a lower mileage similar age car.

I've looked at this car, if it had lower mileage, say under 30k then i'd have have bought it by now.

To save weight? Surely there's bugger all difference in weight between air con and climate? Think it was more likely to keep costs down, to off set the cost of the suspension.

Ian_182 · Jan 8, 2008

4 ounces lighter and it was a cost saving exercise

JoelDee · Jan 8, 2008

I'd love a go in one

worth investing in and keeping miles low

Mines on 13K, that low enough

Stevie · Jan 13, 2008

^^ 14k and counting!

Jamie · Jan 13, 2008

I wouldn't have a 182ff over a trophy. Of that 2k saving i'm sure the extra cost would be returned on the re-sell price whilst the 182 will drop more heavily.

I think the Trophy is also more special, its like buying a valver when you could a Williams. If you aren't bothered about owning 'one' then save the cash though.

Would love a passanger ride in one. I have only ever been in one 182 which was on track but wasn't overly impressive tbh, mainly due to the driver as he was quite inexperienced...

Need to find someone located in the Wirral area who would be up for a blast......

Stevie · Jan 13, 2008

^^ get along to a meet mate and you can jump in with me

The Williams is the more fun car though IMO than the valver the suspension is setup for normal roads whereas the trophy is a much more track setup and IMO to hard. I'd take the normal 182 over it as its nicer to driver on real roads which 90% of the time your on.
