Phase 1 or Phase 2 - How can I tell?

[highsider]

I ordered and received my Trophy in June. A newbie question, but how can I tell it is a Phase 1 or Phase 2 car?

 

[Vingnut]

If your car has rear windscreen wiper it is Phase 2.
Same with 3 rearseat headrests and 18" wheels.
Phase 1 2 rearseat headrests and no rear windscreen wiper. 17" inch wheels.

 

[Rolfe]

Wheel size and design? Does it have a rear windscreen wiper?

Phase 1 trophy has a black roof and mirrors

 

[Rolfe]

I think some later phase 1 Trophies didn't have those, though. Wiper and wheels are the way to go.

 

[Richmorr]

The phase 2 have one pedal driving too

 

[Rolfe]

Don't you have to dig that out of the settings and enable it, though? You can't tell it's got it simply by looking at the car.

I wouldn’t say you need to dig out. It’s the same screen as the regen and drive modes are

Well what is your car then, phase 1 or 2? the curiosity is killing me. ?

Highsider, does the "handle" (pun intended) refer to a not so nice trip over the handlebars of a motorer bike?

My car is a phase 1, which is a little surprising considering it was purchased in June.

Correct Vingnut - highsider does refer to that special trip over the bike. Not to be repeated too often.

 

[Robf]

That's my phase 2. Interestingly it came with the new Bridgestone Turanza tires, which are considered all season.

Hope you came out of that okay!

Mine was coming onto the home straight on Anglesey circuit, bike landed on top of me and I was helicoptered to Bangor hospital with 13 broken bones. Bike was fine apart from broken screen!

@Rolfe - wheels aren't definitive as some of the phase 2 models retain the 17 inch wheels (SE I think?)

Ouch!

I came off at Anglesey as well (lovely track though). Not as bad as you. The bike wasn't too bad either off considering. I need to go back. The MG4 has a tow-bar specifically for towing bikes around.

Must be circa 2012 going by the helmet design.

I always though turanzas were a summer touring tyre which version is on your car

 

[bowfer]

Bridgestone Turanza aren’t all-season.
Well…technically any tyre is all-season if you just leave it on all year….
But it’s not an all-season tyre in the sense that no allowance for snow driving has been made.

Correct - Valencia 2012.

Luckily I am in Horsham, only get a couple of flakes now and again, will check exact tire next time i am out

 

[bowfer]

Correct - Valencia 2012.

A circuit I intend to ride at some point, it being anti clockwise is a huge novelty.
It will be hard to better Portimao though
No highsides involved ?

 

[highsider]

Portimao is a crazy circuit, but amazing to ride.

Silverstone is not bad. (I know we're going off topic here... Sorry)
