Yes but you would be happy;)
White is probably one of the best colours for a 197 or 200.
The fact mine has 'full house' as well is a benefit :D
Knowing when to jump is the key;) 9K for a trophy last sept just as prices fell off a cliff:cool:
Well my 197 Cups worth more now than when i bought it;)
The fact that it's whites a bonus:D
Buy the best you can find but ain't many for 8K yet only CAT or rubbish.
English Trophy 55 plate, yellow mk1 172, parked near Brunchen.

A husband & wife in a black 02 plate 172 :clap:

A monaco 172 & williams great to meet you lot.
Couple of meggys 225's &...
Got back about an hour ago, arrived 5.00pm Fri.
Straight to the track to soak up atmosphere!
Then at 8.00 ish try to find hotel, mate told us Ringhaus, but not on the arrivals list. :cry: Saw bmh.01's meggy in the car park on the way in.
After 20 mins we find out we are actually at Hotel...
I'll tell you how good the Hankooks are.
The Conti 3's are sitting in the garage after 1000miles;)
Don't confuse these with economy shiit tyres they are awesome. I used to run R888's but never lasted long for track/road use.
Your standard road tyres will get torn up & overheat in no time in...
Talking s**t wthout substance again.
The gearbox is the same as in scenic etc etc.
Same chassis different springs & dampers.
At the end of the day you can quote what mag you like the most important part of any car is the 'nut' holding the wheel;)
It's only stiffer than the now softer 200 FF.
Same with the weight.
Reworked head & map give the 3 bhp.
How about this for a lap in the 'WET'; http://www.fastestlaps.com/track49.html
From a distance yes, close up rough finish.
Took a lot to get brake dust off last night in the heat!
So whatever colour i do them i'll get the surface right to start with.
Got a set of 8J mag jobs from Kevo, in flouro orange;)
Going to get them blasted to remove all rubbish back to bare metal.
But what colour?
Car GW was toying with satin black or anthracite??
All i'll say is the runt is more fun down my favourite roads than the supposed best RS the Trophy.
Try thowing in some serious braking & the 172/182 just melt.
