Clio 220 Phase 2 and Phase differences?

[Paddy80]

Alright lads and lasses.
Friend of mine is considering a 220 Trophy. Can anybody tell me what are the differences between phase 1 and 2. Obviously the exterior and some interior is different, wasn't sure about any technical differences mainly thinking gearbox?

Cheers

Also mpg info would be appreciated.

From the top of my head:
The PH1's are numbered
PH2 has different alloys
Interior tweaks (gearstick different)
Exterior tweaks (RS lighting added, removal of trophy stickers from front blade)

The press releases are usually a good source of information:

You'll get around 28 mpg average, they are not the most frugal cars.

I average 35mpg pottering about in auto normal mode, push on and it soon drops sub 30mpg.

Facelift interior is a bit nicer with the different centre console and nicer air vents etc, led lighting inside and led lights outside make a massive difference when driving at night.

They are apparently ment to be identical mechanically although I beleive the cat/downpipe is different?

Ph1 has the option of nicer trophy seats.

Akrapovic exhaust was an option on ph2 cars

I’m sure there are some other differences but they are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Cheers lads, appreciate the info.
Tempted to have a test drive myself, my Cup-s is rather thirsty!

Thanks for posting @Paddy80 and thanks for all the great info guys.

P.S As if you'd get rid of Meg

I doubt it will be any better than the cup-s on fuel tbh

My average is 25 to 27 around the doors, surely the Clio would be better than that?

I get about 35mpg pottering about on my 50 mile motorway commute

If I take the van instead and just use the 220 blasting about locally it drops sub 30 very quickly

 

[mantis946]

I've been tracking mine at the pump since I got it and I'm averaging 28.5 - mix of motorway and about the doors. 35 is the highest I've seen it across the tank, lowest 24.

I average 37 MPG in my phase 2 220 Trophy

Do you live near South Shields/Gateshead way, seen a LY 220 round here a few times. Looks class!

Had a bit fun with one of you guys in my Black Cup-s! Once heading towards Shields on the a194 and another time heading towards the A1 on the a194, those Trophys definitely get a move on!
We should have a mini-meet sometime, sure Brigs44 would appreciate that!

I think that may have been me ha I've seen 2 Megs and a 225 on those roads, the 225 was about even but the others walked away rather quickly I'll keep an eye out for you !

what year was the P1/P2 phase please?

 

[Martin_172]

My ph2 was an 18 plate I'm sure the facelift began not long before I got it

My phase 2 is a 66 plate
