Trophy v2.0

SharkyUK · Jun 29, 2019

#165 may well be leaving my ownership in the coming few months, but a little bit of Le Clio B*stard Rouge will always live on with me!

I concur!

Don't even go there! Mind you, 'modern' red paintwork doesn't seem too bad these days... and the GT4 lives in darkness in the garage when not in use. I also fitted blackout blinds the other week.

Seeing this in the flesh is better than any pictures.
@SharkyUK even opened the car for us to have a look in and its epic in every way.

SharkyUK · Jul 8, 2019

Thanks for the pics @MarcB - glad you like the Trophy's replacement.

Thanks also for coming over and introducing yourself. Mate, it was a genuine pleasure - you're a gent.

Yessir - PPF and ceramic coated, too. It's an absolute joy to clean.

Wish mine was PPFd from new, however I may go down that route if/when I have the front end resprayed.
Too many enjoyable drives have allowed me to pick up a few stonechips now.

SharkyUK · Jul 13, 2019

A few 'battle scars' are fine.

The main thing is you're enjoying it mate! That said, if you're going to the trouble and cost of a front-end respray (assuming it happens) then I would also factor in the cost of PPF! Definitely worth it! But that's easy for me to say as I didn't have to pay for it as such - the previous owner had it done.

Entering into the 6th month of ownership and I'm still loving and enjoying this thing, although the downturn in weather at this time of year means it won't be seeing too many miles over the winter months. It had its first major service last week (and warranty work for a faulty parking e-brake) and all is spot-on. There's just a small matter of a recall for a faulty airbag issue once Porsche release the software update.

I don't think I'll ever grow tired of the flat-6 howl and the go-kart handling.

Thank you mate

I have to admit that I like the way that particular photo turned out.

Yes - happy, happy, joy, joy.

Trophy v1.0 is all but done mate. There are literally a few minor things left and then ready for MOT and tax.

Merry Christmas folks - have a very happy, healthy and safe one!
