Would you debadge?

Another "what if" question.

Assume you've won the lottery and now need a car as a daily driver. You've decided to get a Hartge H50.



Would you:

a) keep it looking like a Hartge H50 and proudly keep the decals and two-tone paint scheme?
b) keep the decals but change the paint scheme to one solid color?
c) debadge, but try to convert it so the exterior only looks like a lightly modded E90?
d) debadge completely so that it looks like a completely stock E90 complete with conservative or stock looking wheels?

My answer? C.

I would like it in solid black...debadge all the Hartge badges, get rid of all the carbon fiber...some other aftermarket wheels and blacklines. Done.

Others? Discuss.

175,650 euros...approximately $239,805.04 USD

So a little pricey...meaning it's Ferrari money.

But if you had the money...had all the other cars you wanted...this might be car you might have for kicks.

If i had the money and had exotics in my garage already, I'd probably buy it. The only reason is because no one else has one. I mean you can buy a Ferrari or a 911 but anyone can buy one with money. Since I believe that's a one of a kind right now, I'd buy it for exclusivity and if i had more money than i can imagine.

To answer your question tho...i'd take off the decals, but keep the v10 on the side and replace the roundels with hartge.

I'd trade it 2 911's, donate one to charity and take the tax write off. Oh yea the question. I'd go with A, if I spend that much money on a car I want people to know what it is.
