filth....

[Gaz_]

Well, these were supposed to be pics of a freshly cleaned and PC'd 197, but with the weather..... . I did start Boxing day, by removing the Black Wheels. Already given them a good clean/wax inside out. The next step was to do arches etc, then finish off with a SRP by PC, then EGP by hand. Meh, too cold Instead it had a service from Kev (steve) at Birchdown :approve:. Wheels are in the shed, just waiting till it warms up a wee bit......

Diffuser doing its thing.... (dragging s**t off the road )

Black rims to be refitted, and i'm gonna source a Cup spoiler methinks. With it being low, a bit slaggy, i think it can pull the look of... (hopefully)

^^ anthracite 2118s FTW on 1*2s end of

As for 197 dark FTW - Xeros Grey to be precise

looks eh....filthy Gaz

black wheels look so so good! Only irritating thing about my wheels is the paint is too thin - so its getting stone chipped - and the durability of the rear of the wheel is crap (its being marked by EZ wheel brush and paint coming off)

i would considering going silver just to have an original set!

 

[Christopher]

Bite the bullet and clean it!

I braved -2 conditions the other day... eaaaaaasy

 

[Alan]

Love it...one of the best!!

 

[mini-valver]

Awesome Kev, black is by far a nicer colour against Albi than spacky silver

 

[Mawv]

Very tidy looking Clio 197.

 

[BioHzrd]

Get back to the black mate looks alot better !

Ha! I have the best of both worlds lol. My Black set were powdercoated in the summer. As said, i gave them a good clean, by polishing and sealing in my nice warm shed . Given them a good inspection and they are holding up really well, no damage as of yet, been on since Sept :approve:

Indeed, they'll be back! Soon as i give the motor a good going over, i'll bolt em back on. The Silver set have about 4mm of tread on each corner also:S

 

[rosssei]

so your black ones are powder coated and not painted? is the finish good? and is it no problem getting them "shiney"?

 

[Gaz_]

Yep

I'll get some decent pics up when i PC it in the next month or so. I'm going to refit them then

 

[Ali]

Defo keep the silver wheels...Black look pap!

 

[Tigger]

Awesome wagon
Keep the silver wheels too

 

[SBV116]

Defo keep the silver wheels...Black look pap!

You reckon?? personally i don't think it looks half as good on the silver!!! Black really suit it!

Does need a good clean though!!:S

 

[.GAZ.]

Tool!

 

[Craig]

looks clean

Your taste is all backwards, lol.

Silver looks mint on mondial, Albi is loads darker though.....

 

[oz_clio]

black is 100% better...love it.

Off topic, but how is SRP with a DA polisher, easy to do? Seen you say a few times on here youve PC'd it so im guessing you use SRP as it doesnt remove too much?

I changed back to Silver on the Cup, looked 100% better. On the 197 the Black is best...
He is a jock, so be expected tbh, they even wear skirts up in them hills

black is 100% better...love it.

I gave it a good correction session last summer with some of the Menzerna range, Intensive Polish, and Final Finish..... SRP goes on well with PC, and i really rate it. It leaves a good basefor EGP, which i like (lots of people dont, but Rich rates it too) Was just going to give it a spruce up untill a correction in Easter.
