Shame they only seem to be available in red?
Would love a black one.
uber dampers or not, are they really worth the 2-3k premium over a cup? genuine question...
Thanks for the advice chaps.
So is it just posh seats and shocks that the trophy has over a normal hot clio? What are these "Cup pack" things on the other Clios. Isaw a Clio with the trophy recaros in - you could always buy them aftermarket I assume.

If your looking at a 182 one thing to remember is there two type (Trophy excepted)
There the 182 (with the cup spoiler and suspension packs) this has climate leather seats (well part) and xenon’s etc. This is sometimes called the full fat on here its not anything official just the name the forum often uses.
Then there’s the 182 Cup this has both suspension and spoiler/splitter packs as standard but doesn't have the leather seats xenon’s or climate (air con instead).
The presence of Cup was symbolised by the darker coloured wheels but since some cars had the wheels swapped at dealers and aftermarket swaps and since the wheels bar the colour where the same then its impossible to be certain by looking at the wheels if it has the pack then only way to be sure is to turn the front wheels and measure the hub bolt spacing from the centre of one bolt to the other.
60mm means you have the cup suspension pack
54mm means you don't have the cup suspension pack
Ive had a STI and the running costs are far far less .... I now have a 182 with cup packs because of this
I don't understand the build quality issues that people mention with most french cars, ok they are not like a 5 series inside but it's hardly what the cars are about. I find them much of a muchness compared to similar car's in their class e.g fiesta's and corsa's.
I've just bought a mint low mileage 2 owner rev 5 MR2 and it creaks and rattles more than any french car I've had (106's, Xsara's, Saxo's etc) yet no one ever mentions that about them.
