Everyone can argue all day long about their car & the whys & why nots they chose the options & spec they did, some of it is based around available budget to spend & for some options like recaros wasnt desired or required.
In a nutshell there is a market for every one of these cars, whether is...
Hi Luke-
real bad news there-
You never know there 'COULD' be a silver lining if you buy it back-
either way best of luck.
I have a silver 172 over at James having a few bits done, will be finished next week if you need a car to borrow

THere are 5 back ends you can have on a 200
Plain- 5/10 looks bare
GT Spoiler 0/10 - GASH
Cup Spoiler 8/10 great from some angles - ugly from 1 or 2- but adds to the spec list
Eila Spoiler 9/10 this seems the best from all parties ( KTEC Supplied)
Hoop Spoiler 5/10 Not sure on this...
One day when you pull alongside a 200 with recaros you will then realise recaros are a must.
interior is pauper spec without- but each to their own.....

I would summerise by saying if you can afford both then choose the one you like the look of best-
all the differences can be resolved with mods anyway-

apart from the look the MOST noticeable difference is the acceleration between 1 & 4k revs- the 197 is almost pedestrian compared with the 200-
Also the 200 handling is another step up!
I have been looking at all the faults on the 197- gearbox etc & you can add another one to the list-...
Thanks guys-
Thanks to Saner for parking the dodgy looking red 200 in the cup spoiler fitting bay only to be let down by the supplier at the last minute....

First slot is booked already-
Speaking to Harvey we have the option of you driving to his space like last year or him coming over to your car with the tools...
