The top mounts & upper spring platforms are the same across all 172/182 models. So the ones you have should be fine, subject to condition - as you say.
If you’re interested in the dampers etc, drop me a PM.
I have a pair of new, boxed, never fitted 182 Cup dampers available - see the post in the for sale section of the forum for pics.

Another vote for the plain Brembo HC discs here, I personally run them with the DS2500 pads up front, standard Brembo pads on the rear - gives me the braking balance and bite I like. I run Brembo pads on our works vehicles and find them fine in that instance.

I've said this quite a few times before on here, and CS. The peeling of the heater panel has nowt to do with mileage/use, it's purely an age related de-lamination of the coating applied over the white plastic of the base unit. I've discussed with a number of companies the restoration of these...
I've been trying in vain for the last hour or so to find a pic of my Z4 Coupe to illustrate my ramble. But try as I might my search has been fruitless. Back in 2007 I think it was, I chopped in my low mileage (condition like new), 2 year old RB 182 Cup for a BMW Z4 3.0 Si Coupe in silver over...
That's great news that they're offering the PS5 in the Trophy size.
I have PS4's on the 200 Cup and always rated it as an excellent tyre. That car will be going onto Michelin PS Cup 2's next though, strictly warm summer days only!! 😁
I’m speculating here, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Trophy had a £30k reserve on it. I concur with yourself & Nick, I think it’s disappointing that, so far, the seller has not responded to the question asked a number of days ago.
On the Mk1 Mini forum I frequent, we have two different threads; "At the Auctions" - which is self explanatory really, all cars spotted at auction are flagged up. And the second is "WTH?! Have you seen this item on eBay?" - which covers cars, parts, etc spotted on there. Makes for some fun...
We could look to make a separate thread for other platforms / auction sales etc - similar to this for the CC records - in the Clio Trophy Discussion forum section, what do you think Nick? :) (y)
We could start a different thread for other auction sales I guess, but they’re often not as easy to track or be aware of. I think this thread should just stick to being a resource about CC sales, otherwise it would perhaps get somewhat confusing.
So, 2025 Trophy sales on Collecting Cars kicking off with #169 - the 9k mile car, now live and currently bid up to £16k with 5 days left to run:

Only 4 Trophy's sold through CC in 2024, I wonder if we'll see more this...
Just a note on this. I very much doubt you'll find a £5k Trophy these days.. There's a point with these things that you have to be realistic about values.
Good luck with your search James. I wouldn't get too hung up on mileage, sometimes a higher mileage car will have good ownership history and works carried out, I'd buy on condition and history as a priority.
Might be a plan, or see if they can produce like a water-transfer decal rather than a sticker, ie: something thinner which wouldn't have raised edges when lacquered...
edited to add: I guess it depends how pedantic we want to be with regards to 'originality'... :LOL:
