Looks stunning gareth, when i finally get mine back we'll have a mini meet and get some shots!! Mine should be coming back to me with (another) new rear bumper cup spoiler and front splitter so will look nice! Got coilies planned later in the year too! Least you got a car i can spot you in now...
They bought out the 2.0l 138 ages ago, this isnt a new thing. The 1.6 133 is a newer engine, so its not a pointless development because they did it before the GT. The 2.0l would pull much better i would imagine, dont forget not everybody wants a sport model so it does cater for other people...
Standard i agree, the F1 looks a better, but i drove past a 197 slammed with white speedlines and splitter and cup spoiler, it looked immense!! Cant see why they havnt bought inferno back!!?? awesome colour.
Yep my R27 gets loads of looks, think the yellow helps lol! But im always staring at other 197's, im always in mine so dont really see it from another perspective, they look so wide, and in the rear view they look so mean. Something which is the 200 doesnt have unfortunatly.
lol, yes mate. My car blowing up, getting up at half 6 (for no reason in the end), loosing out on a days pay , definatly a big unfortunate. I spent most of yest on the phone, and will be today no doubt!!
Loli know, and it is reliable i have just been unlucky with it i guess. No clue why it happened mate, but its very s**t!
Yeah mate when i get it back you can have a look at it. Yep day off today unfortunatly!!
Yeah its me mate, thats my thread on 197.net. Con rod went through the block this morning on the way to work. Gutted, i really look after it! Always serviced on time, warmed up properly etc. Just been proper unlucky. On 47k so really was loosened up nice!:( Got to go through it all again now...
Yeah thats the place. They no there stuff in there then? Ive never used them tbh. What did you get done. I actually live in stoke hammond near MK. But i used to live in ay, thats where all my mates are so im always around there. Seen a few other 197's, and the odd 200 there, dont think any of...
Yeah mine has all the stickers, i think most people take them off from most pics ive seen, usually the roof, but i like em.
I used Dodo juice lime prime polish and dodo juice bananarama wax. Gonna try the orange crush wax next time, heard it gives more of a wet look so ill give it a go...
I work at 'robinsons removals' next to it lol! I had a day off today, u would of seen my LY R27 otherwise. Suprised i haven't seen you around already? Where abouts do you live?
Havn't posted anything on my car in ages and haven't managed to give it a good clean for ages as the weather has been soooo bad. So saturday a washed with 2b method, AG tar remover, washed, clayed, washed, Dodo juice lime primed then dodo juice bananarama wax, left to cure for an hour then spent...
My R27 is on 47k and feels just as good as when i bought it tbh (touches wood). Has the odd niggly one but they could easily be sorted if i got my arse in gear lol! Nothing irritating. Much better than my previous 3 clios in every way.
+1 mate! There all even really on the road, think it just comes down to how they drive.
Thats prob why some people are deffensive of the 197/200's coz they really are soo underrated!
