n00b with a question

[CrippsCorner]

hi all, been reading this forum for a while now. didnt wanna join up before i got a clio, just in case i jinxed it and ended up with something else! anyway im hopefully going to look at a 172 ff tomorrow. however looking on ye olde autotrader i saw something which said "2005 05 Reg RENAULT Clio 2.0 16v Renaultsport 182 Trophy" and very local to me :approve: but when i clicked on more info, it came up as being silver? now i thought all trophys were red? anyway i left it a while, but looked again yesterday and they had finally put pics up... now it definitely doesnt look like a trophy to me...

wrong colour, wheels, interior? and do the front lights look a bit weird?

anyway i typed the reg number into an insurance checker... and it did actually come out as being a "TROPHY" i am now very confused!

so please give some of your knowledge to a confused clio n00b thanks! olly

It's not a Trophy. It looks like a FF 182 with cup packs.

The reason why it says Trophy on AutoTrader and the insurance checker could be down to a mistake in registration at the time of sale. AutoTrader uses the registration plate to put the cars details into the heading, so if the information is incorrect, so will the heading, unless the owner knows his cars, which many don't.

As above thats just a 182 not a trophy!
