I had a 197 for a good 18 months. Only sold it to bump up my savings for house purchase. I have also owned a 172 Cup, 182 and now a 172 Cup again. Yes, the 197 is a better car day to day, no question. I massively miss the better build, better short throw gearbox, Brembos, better seating...

Excellent! Love how that Exhaust sits, perfect imo! For me, i prefer the Cupped 182 rims to Turinis. Also see the 197 wheel mod, which is ace, but do you 100% know if the airbag works? I'm not one of these who are anal about airbags btw, as i normally run a 330mm momo, just wondering what the...

Excellent pics! New wheel for the Cup i see :)

Is a cuzin a Cousin? Genuine question btw!

Thats my plan. Sorting new house etc, pootle round in the Cup for a few years, then look at a new Mk4 Clio

This! Also lol,

^ Yuk. AG is proper wishy washy!

This was my 197, not far off spec wise I prefer it on the 197, however, the pic above is the best i've seen a 200 wear Albi. Nice colour, always looks different

Very true!!

You'll love it mate :)

I would be for sure. Only reason i went back to a 172 Cup from my 197 was to free up money for a house. I only really use it back and to to the gf's house, so that would make the £200 a month for the car + insurance + fuel a waste for me.

oooh what for :)

You getting a new one Daz?

I've sorted a dent on my door edge with a hammer and a block of wood lol! Came out ok tbh! Not quite as bad as yours mind

Lol i thought i was bad!

:o Just clicked on this, i was like thats my old Cup lol! I took that pic about 4 years ago! My curent one isnt far off that now, few little jobs left :cool: ^ Always loved this one, hero tbh!

Intercoolers have big(er) end tanks and inlet pipes. The cores must be bigger in an intercoolder too imo! Also intercoolers have to stand more pressure? (boost)

I would for sure, but not in Albi. 197 only imo, something i cant put my finger on with the 200 in Albi.

Love it! Who did the powder coating of the calipers? I've a spare set in the shed i've done silver (painted), but i know how they will chip in the future. Might be worth considering!

Cheers. Bigger pic of your avatar? ;)

Excellent work. I'll see Fred, can't be assed with painting, always see my arse lol. Hows the suspension? Still dabbling with the idea at the mo!

Spot on that!

Re: 3 Months of Trophy.. Progress thread. Not really to my taste. Don't get the whole nipple ring look, or the polished inlet thing. Rear brace does nothing, no load/twist in the strut tops, so a bit pointless for me. Still, looks clean mate :)

No, its for B road heros.

Any pics?

[B] You not seen the nose of your bus? :S Twingo in RS form looks cool.

Any idea what size the wheel bolts are? That's next on my hit list along with wheel refurb!

He just needs to remind her who wears the trousers? but then again, judging by efforts of this thread.................................... ;)

Give it a good soak over night in WD40 or the like. Then lump hammer/punch. It will go. You should have just handed the keys to Fred tbh ;)

My 197 was Albi. Very hard to capture by camera, very nice in the flesh. For me though as already mentioned, Albi on 197 only. Imo doesnt suit the 200
