Spraying a Trophy

Filippo · Jul 9, 2011

Probably won't be for about a year or so but I'll probably looking to get a Trophy at some point. I'm an Everton fan and driving a red car is not an option. What would people think to spraying a trophy blue...and keeping everything as standard? I would normally say that spraying a limited edition car is daft...but while they are fantastic cars, they are never going to increase in value.

So any objections? Or would anyone appreciate seeing a one off blue Trophy?

LMAO. My first thought if i'd seen it was that it was a 182 made to look like a trophy or a replica of some sort. Very daft idea in my opinion. Each to their own tho. PMSL

You'd never sell it again.

Stefan. · Jul 9, 2011

why not just buy a blue 182??

Sorry I thought I just read you to want to spend £1500 on a respray because a football team doesnt play in Red? - No offence intended mate, as it's you're car so you can do as you wish but I really dont understand lol

Mcaff · Jul 9, 2011

oh dear

SC03OTT · Jul 9, 2011

Probably the most ridiculous reason for spraying a car ever. Are you 5?

This isn't going to end well. Before any one else posts i'd say you've got your awnser!

Filippo · Jul 9, 2011

Haha. I know it's a daft idea. I'm not denying that. The re-spay cost isn't too much of an issue so let's forget that as a negative. My mate does it for a living. The reason for not getting a 182 is the same as anyone else getting a Trophy. It's a bit more special.

Get a gordini simple!

Filippo · Jul 9, 2011

Well I'm not 55 driving a Jetta Scott

In a years time you'll be very hard pushed to find a good one Gordini prices will have dropped too.

SC03OTT · Jul 9, 2011

Touché.

The only 3 things a Trophy really has over a normal 182 are the shockers, seats and name - don't get me wrong id love a T, but if I wanted a colour change id just buy a 182 in the colour i want, rather than spraying a T

And that way you would be saving yourself money too

What a gay reason.

Sam@NP · Jul 9, 2011

Why dont you remove the Recaros and damper whilst you're at it.

Jamie · Jul 9, 2011

Why do you want a Trophy over a 182?

p@blo · Jul 9, 2011

Seems a bit pointless. Aside the dampers what is it makes the Trophy so special again? :S

Sam@NP · Jul 9, 2011

seats, name and the fact its the bestest car ever made oh and I own one

Trophy237 · Jul 9, 2011

The fact that's it the best performance of a 7 year? body shape with almost cult status. Trophy wtf!

Are you dyslexic? I'm not having a pop-just curious

Filippo · Jul 9, 2011

I expected a negative reaction to be honest. I don't know whether the consensus is 'why waste your money' or 'don't ruin a Trophy'. The former, don't worry about it, it won't cost you a penny. The latter, I can assure you this Trophy will be better looked after than many of them out there at the moment.

Yeah, I like the Gordini. But I think the one and only blue Trophy would be pretty cool.

And Mark, not a sports fan?

Ah good man. How come you sold it? Yours a john cooper works?

Lol, not you Spam-besides I hear your driving age more than makes up for it

Perhaps it's that you're just easily excitable?

Again, please don't take that the wrong way. I'm just curious as my friends kids have Aspergers & they also exhibit a tendency to write things in a bit of a jumble from time to time.

Trophy237 · Jul 10, 2011

pmsl (Label me up mate. Put me in whatever box you want!)

Jamie · Jul 10, 2011

Lol - you telling the man he has Aspergers now?! Smooth (Made me laugh).

Want the honest answer?

I ask myself that every day, one of the most stuipdest thing's I've done.. Bought a Z4 - what a gimp move that was !

Trophy237 · Jul 10, 2011

Yeah this is getting embarrassing

Was indeed Sir!

Bought the Trophy when I was 19 and got my pants pulled down by Admiral lol.

welshname · Jul 10, 2011

Ah shame mate. I'm at the same cross roads at the moment trying to decide weather to go for a gordini or something else. I've got my brother offering really good money for mine but i'm not sure i can bring myself to sell it and regret it.

Never to late late to buy another? I'm sure the Cooper S has some similar trates?

Enquiring not telling Jam, would surely be rude any other way.

That said, I for one say it'd be nothing to be ashamed of if he did

I get bored of cars very quickly. I've got 3 at the moment and fancy getting the new Z4 and getting rid of the mini s. Cooper's a good car mind
