my old car with new wheels (owned by my bro)

who did the refurb mikey? looks like a great job! love your ph1!

Me, Stu and Rach met up tonight to grab a few quick photos of the cars! Reminded my how much of an awesome colour liquid yellow is! Excuse the pics - was freezing and didnt pay too much attention as we were all trying to keep warm and keep the banter going! /Ross :P

GAZ on 182 = lack of any handling apart from on track KWs FTW!

didnt realise this was a new owner again! health to drive mate! have to get together for some photos!

begs the question - why the hell were the spectators allowed to be so close?

^^ just for the record the 197 has never been PCd or buffed ;) Ste - i use a combination of BiltHamber AUtoBalm for the protection and supernatural as the wax! AutoBalm helps to mask swirls hence why the red is so in your face! Ross

This is the spot I took the pictures of MY LY :evil: Car is lowered on KW coilovers - although no wheel spacers. Making up my mind if i am gonna get spacers or go for 8x17 anthracite ultralegerras! thanks for all the comments so far!

looks like fun mate - brother is a legend!

Didnt have anything to do this evening so grabbed the camera and went for a little play! here are the results! then i got really bored! :cool: :P /Ross

coilovers and carbon splitter and belts done for a shade over £4.5k - not bad IMO

welcome - look forward to meetin ya at a meet!

looks AWESOME! do it do it do it! if not sell me the wheels and ill buy a 172 just to do it! :P

not fussed on front end or exhausts/diffuser? surely they ruin the point of the diffuser by ruining the air flow with the sticky out tail pipes?! hence perhaps them adding the spoiler? do however LOVE the green - and saw a set of recaros with a yellow/meshed effect centre in them which look...

fantastic pictures mate! lovely looking cup you have there too!

looks ok.....def not as nice as the phase 1 - looks alot "softer"

dont think they make them in the 197 fitment :S although not sure - if someone has done it i will be green with envy!

awesome chum! wud be very interested in one if ya can get more!?!

know what ya mean - i have a simliar fleeting thought about both a trophy and a 172 cup again! but cant think of anything either does better than the 197! miss the raw feeling of the cup but dont think thats enough to make me go back to one! will have one as a track toy when thye get really...

no probs trev - i was just beginning to warm up inside - hardly even recognised ya! def have to get another run sorted - one i can come on this time :P

great photos trev - had camera in the car but was far far far too cold to be getting it out lol!

Just thought i would throw a few pics i took out tonight of the motor. After toying with the idea of selling it and kinda losing interest (and going through irritating problems like blowing up tyres in potholes!!) - going back to uni and driving it up and down has reminded me what a great...

show us yer bean :P looks well chum!

that is gorgeous sir! well played! set of replica 182 skirts will pull it off - or slam it with no skirts! some camera skills there too!

looks clean - not fussed on white wheels - but i think slamming it will make a big difference!

some 2000 grit sandpaper and rub it down then buff to a shine with autosol followed by megs metal polyish to get that shiney perfectg finish!

if my 197 shifts in the near future ill be in touch...

^^ it has ABS - hence not a real cup!
