Vids?

What do people not understand about the thread title? Personally I'd buy a 197, 18" Turinis and coilies for it.

You don't buy a V6 for speed, you buy it for what it is, the rarity of it and the attention it gets.

Wing needs a serious wet flat down and polish, apart from that good progress :) Don't smoke the rear lights, will look w**k tbh.

Stunning motor, leave the wheels silver!

Won't work unless it's a very big dent, won't get rid of little parking dings etc.

Well wasn't that a big waste of time considering you've now ended up with what is basically the standard exhaust adjusted to sit better, which you should have done in the first place? Although you have entertained us so thank you ;)

Are they going to be working bonnet pins or just there for the look?

The stuff you've listed is fine, apart from you'll need a bigger range of sandpaper. Depending on how bad the damage is on the wheels, you'll need a grittier paper than 1200. I've sprayed my wheels twice at work (I work in a bodyshop) and haven't sprayed the insides just because I can't be arsed...

If it's not too bad you could try and bodge it back into position a bit better, but I'd take it to a bodyshop and get it sorted out properly.

It's as simple as peeling the backing off and slapping it on. Will come back off easily using a hairdryer and your nails, and no before you ask it won't damage your paintwork as long as you don't go scratching it with your nails or something.

Is that polo abandoned?

You've bought what?

From the size/location of the dent in your old bonnet I'd say the slam panel could well be bent.

LOL I'd say keep it there just to wind this lot up. Noone complains about pedobear yet everyone jumps on the bandwagon when someone has the word aids on their car?

From what I've read, Brentacre do a policy where you can add any cosmetic modifications including roll cage etc with no extra charge on the policy and no admin fees for declaring them. Oops, too slow:(

I wouldn't bother, there's no need tbh as the majority of the finish comes from how well the lacquer is applied.

I'd rather have one in LY, but if I was given it I'd love it tbh.

This will look amazin I bet! You cannae back down from this one though now you've said it you'll have to do it ;)

Would help if the stripes were actually in the right place on her car, therefore she fails.

Agreed, Snap-On are about the only ones I've found that get over the sides of the seats properly.

I can change my xenons in 5 mins, 1.2s FTW ;) The wire clip has to go on first before the black plastic starter btw, and you then have to put the starter on the bulb before plugging the wire back into it, which I found out after a loooongggggg time f**king around with it.

I'd say paint it Anferasite. Not really, I just wanted to make up a new spelling for anthracite. Black IMO.

I'd spend money changing that sh*t rear numberplate first ;)

172 wheels here, no rubbing at all lowered 60mm.

Found it STUNNING imo.

The turinis (top ones) but they'd have to be in 17" or 18" on a mk3 IMO. There was a pic of a red 197 on 18" turinis and it looked amazing.

LOL Calm down dear, it's only an Internet forum. If your this bothered by it then don't come on the site? Some people really do take the internet far too seriously.

Nope, the rear diamond is completely different from the front one I'm afraid. As for the bootlid, 99.9% of the time if it's been keyed it'll need resprayed, you may be lucky if it's just touched the surface though, any bodyshop you take it too will be able to tell you straight away if it could...

They fit fine, I've got 172 wheels on my 1.2 lowered 60mm and have no rubbing at all.
