2003 model? CB15 169 or 172 or 182 ??

hi, have only just bought one of these ClioRS. Love it. Its a CB15, 2003.
Does that make it a 172? Any help appreciated. This car came to NZ via Singapore.

1 exhaust = 172
Looks like a wheelbarrow at the back (two exhausts) = 182

Although as it's a 2003 car it's almost certainly a 172.

thanks team - 1 exhaust! Just had a new timing belt put in. Its going like a rocket, very hard to stay legal. As we dont require Cat Converters here in NZ I was toying with the idea or removing them and remapping the O2 sensors but from what I read here it probably isnt worth it. Cheers

If I remember correctly you can just tie the sensors up unconnected in thin air without issue.

awesome thanks, I might give that a crack.
