Must be thinking of a Trophy?
(I know they are 182's)
(I know they are 182's)
Makes more sense now.
Since looking for a 172, I've been quite surprised with how few seem to be selling. So many on eBay seem to be relisted, definitely a buyers market.
Many people just see titles of other cars, think theres is the same and then just copy it.
The easiest spot if you can't tell the colours apart, is the headlight washers. 172's have them, but 172 Cups just have blanking plates. The wheels/spoiler may have changed, but it's unlikely someone would have added those.

Why d'you say that?
He drives a 306.
Getting on a bit now though. I'm on my second and fancy a bit of a change now.
You could buy mine
Out my budget mate. The Cup thing doesn't bother me too much. I've had a 306 Rallye for a while and so quite fancy something with a few toys for a change, and really like the Flame Red Clios.

I wouldn't worry too much about it being a Cup... It's a big hype and you won't notice a difference on the road (I've owned both).
If you like Flame Red they can look amazing.

2nd only to black
My Rallye's black, first black car I've owned. A right pain to keep clean. They look stunning in low light or when the sun doesn't shine directly at them, but when it does, any imperfections show right up. I've even had it detailed to reduce the swirls but the sun is still a killer.

Clio 220 Trophy
Ye it is a pain to keep clean, you dont even have to drive it for it to get dirty. I washed and machine polished mine last week, its not moved since, and I couldnt believe how filthy it was earlier when I came home from work. Looked mint when I did it though
Disastra Coupe
I've recently swapped my Mauritius Blue VTR for my Flame Red 172 and i can honestly say that the Clio is sooooooooooo much easier to keep clean.
You can't beat a dark colour, they look brilliant - but only when clean. Flame Red imo looks awesome clean and is a lot easier to keep looking clean... Even if it isn't really.
Quick picture of the Saxo... As you can see, kinda nearly black so i do understand what you're talking about.

I'd never seen a Flame Red 172 'til i got mine. But i have only seen one since, so i think it is pretty safe to say you won't see many.
480 were made for the UK Click on Sales Data and Colour Range
So according to that there were only 468 Monaco Blue 172's too.
They didn't do a flame red 182 did they, just the Trophy red?
Disastra Coupe
Monaco Blue seems quite uncommon too, yea.
182's in red were the Trophy, yea. Also Inferno, but that's more of an Orange i suppose.
