sporty

'if you want to be flashy look around' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bit of a snorter' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bit' could be 'ort' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ort' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'spy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sporty that I've seen before include "Like some cars" , "This 13 [SPICE]" , "Energetic" , "Like athletes" , "Athletic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
