Oh and not that I want to be a picky c**t but I "think" that these are not the genuine 182 trophy Sachs dampers.
They are the Twingo Sachs dampers if I recall as the trophy damper part numbers are 8200514733 & 8200514734
The twinge dampers started part number 7711167413 & 7711167414 and from what I recall the Twingo R1 dampers came with the scraper seal and the standard trophy Sachs never.
One way of telling would be to pop off the rubber boot that's covering the piston shaft on the damper.
Going back to the alloy Speedlines wheels.
The OE Wheels from dealership when new back in 2005 came with the small Speedline logo / graphic as @hoolio pointed out.
These "Could" wear away though washing and chemicals along with anyone who has at there wheels refurbished.
The original alloys went backorder / NLA from Renault and then they produced the second set of Speedlines wheels that came with all the casting marks on them as per picture below.

From looking at the walk round video the car does have genuine Renault trophy alloys but all be it the second edition that Renault then later produced after the original OE ones went back order / NLA.
The Speedlines Turini's direct from Speedline have a different centre on them which tells them apart from the Renault ones as per picture below also.

@MarcB a quick google didn't bring anything up for that part number on here.
These Renault Sachs Motorsport dampers were fitted to the Renault Clio 182 Trophy as standard. The front Sachs motorsport dampers use remote canisters to allow compression adjustment.
The official Renault new part numbers 7711167414, 7711167413 and 7711433946 have superseded the original Renault part numbers (8200514733, 8200514734 & 8200519954)

I wonder what happened to the original wheels and suspension then? It seems strange for such a low mileage car for someone to bin them. Are the replacement shocks the group buy ones.
It's an interesting question isn't it. Perhaps one of the previous owners decided that when the items needed a refurb chose to replace with new items instead, and in the case of the dampers put on the Cup units. As Marc notes above, the part number on the dampers supplied with the car seem to point to them coming from the group buy on here in 2018. What happened to the original dampers is anyone's guess, sold on is the most likely.I wonder what happened to the original wheels and suspension then?

They are original OE standard rear shocks as they all came in grey so they have been boxed for a very very long time as the black ones came around in 2015.
As for the fronts it’s very possible that the fronts are from the group but as it was all Twingo 60mm Sachs dampers.
They are rear cup dampers sprayed......
Oh I'm not sure Marc, I remember picking up my brand new 172 Cup from the dealer back in 2003 and discovering 2 damaged alloys..@ 29k you would have thought the wheels from factory would still be amazing

Indeed, I was quite adamant that they did if I recall..Then the dealer would have put 2 OE replacements on.
From digging around I can find that the new trophy Speedlines came with the markings around 2013.
New wheels new markings
My new Turini's arrived today and seem to have some new factory markings on the rims has anyone seen this on new wheels over the last couple of years? plus to any owners from new how light was the speedline logo?cliotrophy.co.uk
