Mine is lux 1, 59 plate with 34 on the clock.
It isn't that bad but the maintenance costs on the trophy will be less anyway
Edit: it also has leather upgrade.

If I was you I'd sell the FRS get a Trophy, enjoy Vegas and buy a house.
If you don't get on with the Trophy, sell it (doubt you'll loose any money on it). It least then you can tick the I've had a Trophy box...

This.
I'm going to keep my clio just so I can go to thailand with the lads for 6 weeks.
More to life than cars!
RS
I'm in a similar position, although I'd save less money!
Considering going from a Stage 2 R26 (275bhp) to a Trophy, and afraid I will miss the power and some of the extra features in the megane.
But it would free up a few k and the cheaper running costs would make a mortgage more affordable.

I'd be scare of the missing power. Although the Clio will be fast enough in 90% of situations, it's that last 10% I fear myself.
Considering similar. Vx to 172. Problem is, 160 odd bhp feels pedestrian now
Going back to a ph2 after the silly scoob was like getting back in my first car
It didn't accelerate, there was no torque, it didn't go round corners... just godawful.Took many weeks of getting used to it and frankly just chilling out before I was used to it. Still über frustrating regularly when a quick squeeze of the gas would have overtaken something pedestrian on the roads .. where as the Clio hasn't got the legs to do the manoeuvre safely anywhere near as fast.
As you say, a 182 is more than fast enough for most situations but another 150Nm wouldn't go amiss
The only bonus I took from going back to a Clio was that they feel alive at 60-70 on a back road.. where as in the scoob, even though it was old and unrefined, I'd have to be heading into autobahn territory along the same road to feel as much fun.

Well the RS is pretty much sold, pending a price for his part ex.
I'm going to miss it so much. Caught some lovely flames on the go-pro last night, I'll post them up in this thread what a Chav.
Quite looking forward to trophy ownership though. With an RS, people know what it is. Ask you about it all the time. I've lost count of the number of times people have asked to race at the lights and it gets tedious. In the trophy I can just have my own fun on the back road into work every day. Awesome.

Why a trophy though?? I've had ff 182s and a trophy and if you had didn't know which you where driving you wouldn't be able to tell the difference and you'll save yourself a couple of thou..

Strange that you say that. I'm on my 3rd Trophy now and wouldnt even consider bothering with a 182. Considering all the 'mods' that you'd end up doing to the 182, you might as well just buy the better car in the 1st place.

It would depend on your long term plan for the car.
if its to own it for a year, enjoy the best you can warrant and then still have a good return come the time to sell it on then I agree to looking at the Trophy options.
if you are going to start changing for budget coilovers and spoiling the car, then yes you may aswell go for a normal 182.
Alex, can I ask what price you have secured for your FRS?
im considering selling mine at the mo, I have a price I'd like to see for it but its knowing wether I can achieve it or not.

I'm going with a trophy. The reason being on the track there will be a big difference in handling. I do a few track days every year and a trophy isn't that much more expensive considering the gain in performance.
Kelv, I got £19,500. But I am a detailer so as you can imagine its in exceptional condition with a full ford history.

Alex, one of the lads I share my unit with is also a detailer, the car is constantly being lavished with love when he has no work on, other than that mine sits under its dust sheet.
i used mine over the weekend for the first time in almost 2 months, hence me considering selling it.
i was going to put mine up for £21,500 and I don't think I'm prepared to go below £21k.
im glad your happy with the price you have secured for yours tho buddy.

all of the factory items that have been removed for the 400bhp kit to be fitted have been kept in decent storage so every item can go with the car with the sale

I know you're looking to 'free up' some money but maybe you could sacrifice a little after buying the trophy. In other words: Sachs refurb; Sportlines; PM Strut & Top mounts; Whiteline RARB... General Trophy Mods. Fast road set up for the drive to work and works well with the occasional track day. Step further, maybe Uprated Group N Clutch and Quaiffe Diff (in the interest of handling upgrades)

These things will all come in time, mate. For sure.

Titanium 182
Just sold my trophy, it was by far the most epic thing I've ever driven. They are serious amounts of fun - Nothing comes close for 4-5k (unless its a mint gti6 or FRP)

Lol, you're such an odd bloke.
The guy's settled on a Trophy, explained his reasons as to why and you still throw a sulk. Let it go.
You'll love the Trophy Alex!
