LOL. 197 went in for an AC fault under warranty. Dropped off the car in the morning, "should be done around 16.30 sir" Yep no worries. So appear at half 4 the same day, noticed it was still in the workshop. Go to the reception desk, " ah yes the mechanic is just finishing off the paperwork" Ok...
Alot of swrls i found were induced with a shitty chamois etc. Get it PC'd, then wash with a mitt, and use a good quality deep pile micro fibre drying cloth for drying ;)
Mint that!!!
Re the wheel balancing, solid Wheels ftl. I always take my GF's to Tweeks, not many places can balance them properly (even if they say the can)
^i was thinking more along the lines of dropping a sponge on the floor, then picking it up and washing the car with one bucket.... in front of Rich..... ;)
LOL .2 of a second slower is nowt. LOL at the people who said the 197 is slow ;) And also the trophy is the ultimate 182....... if its just a regular 197, it should be against a regular 182 ;)

Dear ;). Steve (Birchdown) Fitted them, i assisted lol They are OK, but a bit fiddly to sort the front end lol
Spot on about the spolier, not bothering tbh (as said in the post) They all...
Not wrong. I knew it would look 100% better lowered. Not really lost any comfort either on the H&R's. No need to be sooo high as standard. Dont get any clearance/catching issues either. Win win ;)
Best angle by a long way. Thats why i think i'll leave a boot spolier, it spoils the lines........The rear 3/4 shot is the best. Diffuser, flaired front/rear arches and wing vents in shot. Looks bloody awesome when clean. I'll try and get some good shots. If its sunny the colour should come out...
Thought i'd do a little write up of the bits ive done to the 197 sice i got it in Jan this year.
So here it is in the compound at the garage i bought it from. Standard as you like, little rough round the edges ;)
First jobs were to debage the C L I O badge off the boot, and silver...
