Loved my 182 when i had it, a great little pocket rocket far more raw and crazy than a 197, but to be honest i love my 197 R27 even more than the best car i had ever owned before, a leon cupra R. It's just a complete package, far more refined, better built, more sencible but also more nuts when...
To be honest i think i have 49 miles on it now already, and i want to go out again lol
Loving your white one btw the spoilers are a definate as soon as i have the cash they really finish it off.
I paid £15.501 for it, has all the extra's apart from climate! so its was a very good deal, i was also thinking exactly the same thing about the cup spoiler, as soon as i have the cash i will get one ordered!
I pick up my :hail: R27 tomorrow, How excited am i right now!!!!

something silly like an ecu mount is not a moving part and is not subject to wear and tear, if the bracket is broken it should be covered as it is a manufacture or design defect that has caused it to fail! Not wear and tear.
Fight them all the way stuff like this makes me angry being in the...
Does anyone know about the 2nd edition of gearbox that they fitted to all 197's after build week 41?
My R27 is build number 135 but its only just registered now for me as the first owner, so how the hell do you know which build week it was made on or if yours is the old or new spec?:mad:
Welcome mate, totally agree on the best hatch around, had quite a few cars and you can't get any more bang for your buck, hence the choice on my new car!
Just got the insurance sorted out for the new R27 pick up thursday, and some how the new car is saving me money, only around £58 a year but its still a saving! How on earth does that work a 182 bhp 3 year old car worth about 6k to trade vs. a 197 bhp brand new car worth nearly 16k.
The world has...
Got a real bargin, the dealer gave me 6,100 for mine even with the little crack on the side skirt, the car was up for 15,601 got it with mats and a full tank and the usual 1 years tax, 3 warrenty and 2 year AA.
Oh, and its build number 135 of 500, actually phoned the dealer to check that today...
Just put a deposit on a deep black 57 plate 197 R27 with 12miles on the clock! It is fully spec'd up with xenons, autowipers & lights and folding mirors, so im happy as a pig in poo! Just got to wait the everlasting few days till i pick it up next thursday!:D
Thats what i call a proper rally sl*g, were did you get that cage from, is it weld or drill and bolt in?
Looks wicked really want to do the cage and harness thing to a 197 f1 if a get one!
Anyone have any pics of a black R27? I did see some the other day that one of you guys had de-stickered but cant find them now, trying to choose which colour to go for, i have seen loads of pics of yellow but no black! Any ideas anyone?
Cheers :D
Its happened to me too, the 197 bug has finally bitten! I have had my 182 for about 6 months and love it, but i have really fallen in love with 197. I'm going to look at a black R27 tomorrow on a 57 with just over 2K on the clock, the only thing is doesn't have is the xenons! So the questions i...
Thanks for the help guys, it was the little relay box in the footwell it had died, got a replacement from my local dealer, thank god for that.... While i was there i finally got a proper look at a 197 r27 in liquid yellow. I am really tempted to upgrade to one now, love the fact that it has...
Just wondered if anyone has had this problem before and what is was?
I was driving in london last night for about an hour, then when i was sitting in traffic the xenons just went off! All the other lights work and so do the autolights, but only the sidelights come on. I have even turned the...
the exhaust is awesome, makes a lovely deep burble on idle and just sound pure grunt when you give it some without being too boomey when on cruise control on the motorway.
Will post a link on here soon to a vid im working on at the mo so you can get the idea!
After getting my miltek fitted yesterday im getting the performance bug, im now looking at induction kits to complyment the exhaust, i personally have always gone for foam filters because of the better noise and good filtration however im a bit concerned because of the ammount of heat that is...
Thanks guys just been out to fuel the beast up for the week, forgot how good the milltek sounded! got a massive grin on my face again, now all i need to do is find a nice long tunnel :D
