If there's a problem with the rear dampers, don't let it put you off, cheap to replace. It's the front one's you have to be wary of. Great great cars, best car I've owned, and the best standard road car I've ever driven.
When you say the front dampers, are they a hassle/expensive to change?
From what I see, these cars seem to have more problems with the suspension and sundries, I would assume no real problems with the engine/gearbox?
The one that I looked at was this kind of bright orange, might sound a bit nasty, but it really ain't. They do look great.

Leaking oil mate, you can check but if it's leaky the suspension will ride like an american car- i.e. very spongy.as the dampening rate will be affected. if you look the the seals then you will notive any leaking.

have a read
leaky read dampers are a problem with clios.
easy thing to spot is the trouphy has numbered plaques inside the car the cups don't plus the colour
is it red or is it not?
It reckons I don't have permision to view that post...?
It is a sharp orange colour... Must be a cup, there are no special identifications other than 'ClioSport'.
The car had a small vibration as well, that could be wheel alignment...? I told them to sort that out and I am going to check those dampers...
Must say, I am rather excited to get it

182
In 2004 though (most 53 plate 182 is likely to be a demo car for a dealership) the 182 was produced. Changes weren't that large though.
New front suspension drive shafts hubs dampers springs were made
Rear suspension was changed
Leather seats spec was changed
The rear spare wheel well panel was deleted and replaced with a flat panel.
The new 182 exhausts with its V6 style rear pipes. The exhaust take up the space where the old wheel space was.
The intake manifold was chnaged it reputed to be better for moddification power but changes to it arn't huge.
The exhaust manifold is a 4-2-1 type designed. It can be made to fit a 172 but you need to make an exhaust cat to fit it.
The cat was also changed from a 400 cell to a 200 cell one. The exhaust is as mentioned earlier the V6 style one. Also the engine mapping was changed. The air filter was changed but thats more IMO down to cost than power demands.
Also changed was the gearbox for a longer ratio one (longer than the phase 1 original) also common failing week parts of the box ie the circlips were changed for stronger parts.
Options on the 182 included Cup suspension and splitter packs. The suspension pack lowered the car a few mm made the dampers, springs and shocks a bit harder also the wheels come in a darker colour. Included in the Cup suspension pack was different hubs which have 60mm hub bolt spacing they are also up rated as they run about 1 degree more camber vs none Cup packed cars. The spoiler pack put a bigger rear spoiler and a splitter on the lower front of the car. The front Splitter can sometimes be found missing as they have on occasion not been fitted from now or can damage due to there design. Most cars came fitted with the suspension and spoiler packs though.
Other options were
Paint colour choices were Blue (two shades of Blue were availiable, artic and racing ) , Black gold and Titanium
If you ordered you car in racing blue you could also have the competition strips added to the car.
Telephone preparation
6 CD Multi-changer (fitted under the passenger seat or if you had sat nav its fitted in the boot).
Sat nav (although this was removed from the options list due to lack of demand. If you did pick the sat nav then you couldn't have the Cup spoiler pack as the aerial caught against the rear spoiler. Some people did have it fitted though as whilst it catches and bends the aerial its not impossible.
ID paint this was an expensive option. You could have it in liquid yellow or petrol blue (there very few of the petrol blue ones though)
Recaro seat pack - Ambla/dinamica black front + Graphic charcoal rear seat (no leather on rear seats if you picked the Reacaro seats (this Recaro seats was only an option on later cars)
182 Cup
A few month a new version called the 182 Cup was made this was basically a 182 with both Cup packs but with the cheaper specification interior no Zeonons or Climate control (aircon instead).
Options on the Cup were
Blue paint
Inferno colour paint.
If blue paint was specified then you could have the competition strips added to the car.
Recaro seat pack - Ambla/dinamica black front + Graphic charcoal rear seat (no leather on rear seats if you picked the Reacaro seats (this Recaro seats was only an option on later cars)
Trophy
The last of the production models was the Trophy. It was produced using the 182 Cup body but the dampers were changed for Sach's remote dampers at the front and Sachs (none seperate reserviored) at the rear. Springs at the front were changed and suspension camber etc is changed. Also wheels were changed for turini style alloys
All trophys came as standard with the Recaro Seat package an the Clio V6 phase 2 rear spolier.
They also only came in there unique red colour. They have serial number on the drivers seat (only 500 were ever made there one prototype trophy what has been sold so arguable there 501 been sold. Also there's 50 swiss registered cars.).

if it looks like a giant baked bean then its a 182 cup,
the other obvious differences are
trophy - 16" athricite turinis 182 cup - anthricite 182 wheels
trophy - recaro seats 182 cup - cloth seats
trophy - bigger longer spoiler - 182 cup normal cup spoiler
obviously these can be changed tho, the trophy is worth considerably more than a 182 cup also

This has thrown me. I've almost done a deal on a inferno 182 with both cup packs (I like inferno, and thats all that matters). Reading the above, seems like its a cup (no climate/ no xenons) though the seller informs me it has xenons and climate and is FF. Cars an 05 plate if that makes a difference.
If the car your looking has no zenons or climate then yep its a cup spec also the car will have a different stearing wheel and cloth seats
