After pining after my old 197 for nearly 12 months, i sold my 172 Cup to another member off here (top bloke!) a few weeks ago. Sooo, managed to source this for a good price ;) Its not clean, i was sorting out a set of spare 197 Recaros to sell, so had my camera handy, so why not...

Aye, boot carpet up etc etc

Appearing soon................. in the for sale section ;)

More accurate edit ;)

This is an electric car (so i've read)

Oh yeah, thanks for the info, that weekend i changed isp, so was off line for about 5 days lol Cheers mate :)

Looks ace, love the last pic! Like the Billies? I had them on my Cup also :)

Some proper good cheap Trophies about at the min, MK2's are worth nothing at the mo, good time to buy one!

Yeah, but i'm weak and missed my 197 badly for 12 months :o I just prefer them, had a MK2 in some shape or form since 2004!

Exactly. So i thought f**k it, for another 3k i now own a GW 197 with Speedlines/Recaros. I didnt want to be tied in the for next 2 years,so bought out right.

Tesco are ok, cheaper than Direct Line in my experience

I send you some for £20, bought them as spares, no longer needed (have got a thread in the for sale section) PM if need be!

Do the normal seats not have yellow detailing in a 200?

Bit of sandpaper, and a terminal sized screwdriver to reset the pins will suffice :)

come again? For me the trade off isn't worth it. If i wanted my car to feel even more unrefined and rattly then fine, I'd fit these, but they are ROAD cars, they need compliance. The vibrations would get right on my tits sat in traffic. They might 'feel' more responsive, but them forces are now...

no, dont bother! Proper waste of money, couldnt get rid of mine quick enough! (fitted to a 197) Also..... to the 16-20mm hubcentric mentioned above, think you'll struggle on proper Cup Turnins, i think they might catch.

That £200 a month deal finsihes end of sept i'm sure..........

100% bad connection. You'll need something to clean the pins up, and possibly something to rebend the connections on the mulitplug. Took some fiddling on mine but cured it,

You goon, you could have had my sisters RB. Cupped, she was second owner, FSH, belts done by kevs, 55k. Just needed a wheel refurb! PX'd at Crewe Renault for around 4k! Might still be there?

Yeah me too ;)

Re: BULLETS!!! Anyone know the colour or even better the code for the standard 16v si think they are chromed (sp). They arent painted thats for sure.

Agree, looks ace here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUF8jWqmAB8 Think it only suits white, maybe SG also?

RB doesnt work on any Mk3 imo Red GW/PW or SG for me!

Start removing parts, be nice to know if the stuffs there for a MK3 also!

No point in loading one with options if you're going to hand it back in two years, the gfv will be the same.

All being ruined for no reason, its a shame so many get broken like this. Killing a perfectly good (before some fickle tool decides to strip/generally ruin the thing) 172 is bad m'kay. :( I think the total opposite to many, restore them to former glory!

If you can now do it off an RS tuner, do that, even i managed to remap the cup, and i'm a computer r****d

You sure about that fella? Less sidewall, less flex......? Anyway i always stuck with 195/45's. Cheaper, better imo. The 182 in lowspeed always 'chew' on heavy lock, over tyred imo

Its good stuff. I actually used to use some megs trade shampoo stuff, which was ok. It ran out a few weeks ago, so bought some AG Shampoo/conditioner stuff, i really rate it tbh! Foams up ok, but its not really meant to be super foamy................ does dry to good finish, think suds = streaks tbh

Or try Lookers Chester, only a 40 min trip down the M56
