Whole front end is is a mess imo.....
It wouldnt have taken much to remould the wings, so you dont have that nasty cut off where they meet the new bumper, shocking imo
All very well and good, but you are paying for it with the extra £20 an hour or so labour charges.......
Also just to add, Brand is right about the Build. I've had my 197 for 16 months and tbf its taken a good beating (once warm). After owning x2 Mk2 RS Clios for the last near 5 years, the MK3...
Dont take it the wrong way like, but never runs right off all the threads i see :)
If it was left alone it would be a minter for sure :)
Wiat a minute...... i'm the only 197 GAZ in the Village, there cant possibly be another Gaz197.........!
Link below mate Fitted them back in August. Projector headlamps as they have the Black surrounds. Exactly the same clusters as the O.E Xenon equipped cars, but without all the Xenon gubbins ;)

I'm sure this car is being ruined slowly.......
Anyhow, you can get a belt of anysize from a local motorfactors, so no dummy pulley needed. You'll just need to offer up a dummy to get the right size
Indeed. I really dont know why people bang on about mpg on a 197..... its what, a tenner if that a week more expensive imo..... I get around 27-28mpg, with a good mix of driving. My 172 Cup and 182 averaged 32ish, so thats a 4 mile difference per gallon? All the CS millionares probably loose...
I really rate the SRP EPG combo, always end up back with it after trying other brands (CG for instance). Also when looking over the trade products they seem to have the same products, but with different numbers after them? Whats that about?
CTR? DC2?
No rattles, do think it could be the Rose tinted glasses tbh. Like me, i sold my 172 Cup, then got a 182 and regretted it tbh..... should have kept the Cup then got the 197
