Question Did anyone buy a Clio Trophy ?

I know there was lots of chat about this model when last months EVO came out, but does anyone know anyone who bought one, or drove one or indeed has one themselves??

I am not sure if i have seen one or not. I see 182's in that red colour but i never know which bloody model it is anyway - i think the seats and rear spoiler are about the only subtle tweaks aren't they ??

I've seen plenty of 182s around but don't think I've seen a trophy yet

And the word 'TROPHY' in big letters on each side skirt

The one I saw on Saturday also had grey wheels. Now I'm not a Clio expert but it was these that drew my eyes and then I noticed it was a Trophy.

Didn't buy one - just saw it in the car park at B and Q

i was interested in buying one til i found out it was just a standard 182 in a different colour and a set of wheels, originally their were rumours flying about that this clio was going to be 220bhp, once i heard it wasn't i didn't bother getting one.

I think the 'special' bit was the sachs oil/gas combo shocks and revised suspension / anti roll bars etc. A road going race hatch in theory.

We may have to wait until cjaffray can give us a review

Spotted one outside our local "10 bob millionaire" bar on Saturday night, so will keep an eye out for it.

Looked nice tbh

Saw one fly past me in the opposite direction on a good section of twisty B-Roads yesterday... Looked nice, different colour and dark wheels.


Cheers,
Grant

great little cars, especiually at home on the track with the new suspension. A large improvement over a standard 182!!!

The Trophy colour is not used on any other Clio's it's a definate red colour, wheras the 182's are more orangey, it's called Inferno.

Other ways to tell:
  • Alloys - Speedline Turini's in anthracite (mulitspoke)
  • Rear Spoiler - It's massive compared to the 182 or Cup
  • Badges - Trophy decals on the sides

Actually, you can get ordinary Clios in Capiscum red too.

Saw a trophy at Goodwood and it looked good to me.

You can (or could) specify inferno for the 182 cup as well

Well, you can't get the 182 Sport or Cup in that colour, I know that for sure...

Yeah, the 182 Cup was only available in 2 colours, Inferno or racing blue.

One of my guys had one - my recomendation. Apart from the usual dealer incompetence, he loves it. For me the car is spoiled by the 1.2 style rear seats. Just a bit too much pennypinching

Know exactly what you mean mate. Has no head rests either. I know its supposed to be a hardcore hatch but it means you can't even seat friends in comfort. :/
