Attn Trophy owners........

Is it true that the larger V6 spoiler interferes with the aerial, and stops the hatchback opening fully? Anyone had this prob??

Cheers

No, the boot has shorter struts so it doesnt open as far. Im only 5 foot 8 and when its fully open I have to duck to get stuff in and out of the boot.

Oh right, typical journalist getting it wrong!

Did you read the article in the Observer the other Sunday, the guy was well impressed with the Trophy, and compared it to his old Peugeot GTI 1.9! He also said it was a dying breed of car, as everything is becoming larger and heavier...

No I missed that one. I read the farewell to the V6 in the Mail though. That was a nice article.

What is the reason behind the short struts?

Some non trophy owners have fitted the V6 spoilers with no difficulties or modifications.

Ive bashed my head on Niks a few times already and im not exactly tall

that would bug me, i always banged my head on my old 182, if they have made them shorter it would be a nightmare for me

Im sure the aerial touches the spoiler on my cupd 182...... (when the boot is open)

The antenna should be around 5mmm clear with the Cup spoiler. Mine is at least.
