Many players of the reigning Premier League champions have had to have their cars repainted in different colors to make them easier to distinguish.
 |
After Leicester City surprisingly won the Premier League last season, the club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha decided to buy 19 BMW i8s as gifts for key players. The price of each of these supercars in the UK is $140,000 (in Vietnam, if taxes are included, it is about $350,000). |
However, the fact that everyone drives the same car model and the same color has caused a lot of trouble for Riyad Mahrez (pictured) and his teammates." data-reference-id="24060311" src="/dataimages/201609/original/images1674789_C_c_c_u_th__Leicester_kh__s__v__xe_gi_ng_nhau____nh_th__thao_57ca17e5da0e8.jpg" style="max-width: 500px; width: 500px; height: 329px;" /> |
This car model was chosen as a gift for Leicester players partly because of its youthful and trendy design, partly because of its blue color similar to Leicester's traditional shirt color. However, the fact that everyone drives the same car model with the same color has caused a lot of trouble for Riyad Mahrez (pictured) and his teammates. |

That's why some players decide to break the mold: repaint their cars or change some exterior details to make them easier to identify. |
 |
Left-back Jeffrey Schlupp took the lead, painting the entire exterior of the car black. |
The work was carried out at AC13 Premier Garage, co-founded by former footballer Marlon Harewood. Schlupp and the former West Ham striker are close friends." data-reference-id="24060314" src="/dataimages/201609/original/images1674798_C_c_c_u_th__Leicester_kh__s__v__xe_gi_ng_nhau____nh_th__thao_57ca17e6ced96.jpg" style="max-width: 500px; width: 500px; height: 277px;" /> |

The car has completely changed in color and becomes more recognizable when standing next to other BMW i8s. |
 |
Mahrez, Demarai Gray, Danny Simpson, Ben Chilwell, Andy King and Wes Morgan have also brought their cars to AC13 Premier for tuning. |
 |
To avoid confusion among the pile of keys, captain Wes Morgan carefully attached a piece of paper with his name on it. |
 |
The cost to repaint the entire car is about $2,600. |
 |
...with a duration of five days. |

AC13 Premier is a favorite car tuning location for Premier League players. Before Leicester stars, Wayne Rooney also came here to change the structure of his Audi Q7. |
