Late 2007 5th and 6th were made slightly longer. That's the only revision. Helps mpg slightly I've found, like 1 or 2 lol

I've had x2 172 cups a 182, standard 197 and now a 197 cup 197 every time for me. Yes the mk2 might feel a bit more 'brutal' (especially the cups) but that's it. The mk2 is no quicker in my experience having come across the odd one whilst out and a bout. I return 29/30 mpg, and it does get...

I'm a bit tight for space really.....looking back I think I should have got some stand mounted units like the S30 but ill be moving in the new year so I can put up with it short (ish) term!

Via HDMI? Tried it in another input?

Here's my starter set up. Got this at just after to go with existing TV (excuse the crap ifail pic) 40" Samsung thing Pioneer VSX 527 Cambridge Audio S70's. As a starter set up its ok tbh. Going to add/replace as I go along. I was going for a Onkyo amp of some sorts, but this is...

That guy does it for peanuts imo!

Think a budget sound bar is all you can do with that kind of monies tbh

Lol so it is. Pick up a new one for 150 iirc (without airbag)

Lovely example that, I'd have provably stuck with sport lines as I think the cooksports look a tad too low for standard dampers?

Lovely, I run the same spoiler but for some reason find it a bit meh. Some times it looks spot on, some not so, was/am contemplating removing it. We shall see!

Lovely, not sure on the red lettering on the wheel trim though??

Sits at a nice height, but wheels are spaced too far IMO, also make the car tramline badly in my experience.

Love it! Even if it will weigh 100kgs more with all that extra paint

Well as I mentioned there is a joint venture between Mercedes and Reanult for the new smart/twingo. Probably a concept from this? http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-and-renault-team saying that, just found this, maybe Renault are going it alone...

Really?? Not that it'll happen, but normal colour, minus the chav spoiler and spots (homage to the 5 turbo 2 rally car above) and i think it looks fine. I like women.

Looks full of win to me. New Twingo is a joint venture with Mercedes for the new Smart car. Thats rear wheel drive.................

re seat belts washing up bowl of hot water, then wind out the belt, spray it in some all purpose cleaner/interior shampoo, work it in with your hands/ cloth. Then use the water to rinse them in. Rinse repeat. Works well. Better doing on a hot day so they dry out

Lovely example, however they need to be 'driven' to get good power out of them ;)

Just seen a black one, looked pretty squat on the road. The pinched in flanks give it a bit of interest too

200 looks well but, this pic sums it up for me The way the 200 bumper is, it sort of 'pinches in' the nose of the car and gives it less presence than that of the 197 even though its the same width. 4 yrs on i still cant get on with its gimpy face, etc etc etc :(

Lol it's the same car wearing a gimp mask. 100% fit

Bet it's had an aftermarket system on it in a previous life!

Lol. Shows what a different world we are in now..... 197 was under 16k when released

No kits will include the dephaser as its not a part that's changed at service intervals

Only people in the know notice these things. I reckon see an EDC on the road and it'll look fine. IMO the front end is a massive improvement over the non cohesive mess the 200 was.

Really?? imo golfs unless its an r spec one all look the same.

Hmmmm dunno, I think the facelifts will be every 3years or so now with the way the industry is. Think the meggy only had one real revision in its life so far??

Exactly this, on crappy steel wheels also ;)

Wonder what makes them change between manufacturer? Performance/price?

197 springs have blue/green dots 197 cup springs are marked with blue/orange dots 200 springs marked with blue/yellow dots 200 cup springs marked with blue/violet markings thats the only real way to tell as lots of cars have the calipers painted aftermarket
