Black wing mirrors too, ruddy awful! Looks like dennis the menace
What a shame....
Oh dear. Love the grammar and composition in the advert.
Looks like the front bumper was changed pre or post accident as the plastic blanks are not there (or have been sprayed over). That might have something to do with the lights being non standard, whether Xenon or otherwise. To my eye the N/S rear wheel looks like its protruding from the wheel arch as well. Probably just the camera angle.
Either way, as far as my taste is concerned, it is nasty.
One of the mods should list it as Cat-D in the owners register. Perhaps copy up some pictures too if they can be copied off ebay.

HID and xenon is the same thing. The lights on said Clio are xenons (or HID, whatever you prefer to call them) from a Full Fat 172 / 182, which have then been smoked by the looks of things.Jamie said:
no HID are a type of bulb/light - xenon is a gas. You can get normal bulbs with xenon gas in them to fit our OEM headlights.
HID's are a different animal and require washer jets, added weight (separate power outlets) and different bulb fitments.

You can get Halogen bulbs filled with xenon gas, yes, but that doesn't make them xenons. HIDs are the proper name for gas discharge arc lamps, but they're also known as 'xenons' (the type that requires the washers etc if fitted when new). Halogen bulbs filled partly with xenon gas are probably just a case of the manufacturers cashing in on the name I would've thought. One thing for sure is that they look nothing like 'genuine' xenon arc lamp.Cue said:

Correct.
Back on topic... The ad says "minor off-side front damage" so i'm wondering why there are no Trophy decals on the sills?? All the "mods" to me point at the car be F**KED and put back together into a saleable condition as cheaply as possible.
It's good that someone has atleast tried to make some changes to a trophy. IMO some could work, others not so much, it's all how they're done and what sort of route you're interspersed in
The thing that spoils all trophys for me is the stance, it looks horrendous and it's a shame to add coilovers to replace the sachs
