At the risk of repeating myself, £2500 will just about buy you a rusty/needs restoring Mk1 XR2.
That same £2500 will buy you a VERY tidy 205 gti, R5, Williams etc.
At best, Trophy's are likely to hold their value more than other 182's, but that won't be measurable for at least another 10...
I get mine from here and they're great. They don't have that stupid little thing at the bottom like in the picture either.

Just plain plates. No borders, no fancy plastic raised letters, no ''GTI'' on the bottom etc. Just plain plates.
I'm assuming you'll be playing with the spacing on your new xmas present, so keep the plates plain and you're even less likely to get stopped IME.
Who's bitching?? I'm asking a genuine question, why do you think the trophy will be a classic? Calm yourself down.
Yes it's a good hot hatch but that doesn't make it a future classic. Look at the RS Turbos! They handle dreadfully, they rust, they aren't fast... But they are cast iron classics...
Trophy's will always be worth more than other 182's but they won't be classics and they're certainly not investments!!
V6 yes (but they will crash soon, guarantee!) but investing in any other Clio trying to get a return on your money is not going to work.
Go and buy an RS Turbo, XR2...
As well as being jailed, they should be hot with the emergency services bill.
Accidents are accidents I appreciate that, but when you're convicted of driving like a c**t, you should have to pay for the people that saved your life.
That's what I don't want. It's a mammoth job on the passat as the undertray has to come off, front grill off, bumper off, all to get the headlights out. If an HID kit keeps packing up I don't want the grief.
Looking like it might be the Osrams then.
As above. Driving home tonight reminded me how diabolical the headlights are on my passat. I need brighter and whiter lights as opposed to the dim yellowy rubbish it currently has.
I don't want an HID kit because I don't trust the cheap ones and I don't want to pay £100's on a proper kit...
