hi,
Been looking to get another car seeing as I have blown my car up at the minute. Now while I love my type R I can't really risk blowing it up again while doing track days. So had a look at swapping to a hot hatch. Looked at all the cars and decided it has to be the clio 182.
Now what I need to know is whats the differences if I look at the trophy ones.. what should I look out for when buying one.
Are they expensive for parts etc. I won't be getting rid of the Type R as its not exactly an every day car but I need something I can happily drive day to day and then go and thrash around the track.
Anyway,about me... I am a married mum of three, my hubby is a mot tester ( very handy when you run an imported car) and puts up with getting dragged to various places on weekends to see cars. I live in Heanor Derbyshire and love being able to just nip car down some fantastic lanes.
Anyway some photos of the current car..![9ecaf4ad.jpg 9ecaf4ad.jpg](https://cliotrophy.co.uk/data/attachments/9/9712-e4cfdb7bafcd69986adbf7b592b2147c.jpg)

I do love it but I just cant afford to wreck it as if the gearboxs go its hard to get one for the type R.
