Not my cup of tea but I can see why you bought one. Enjoy!

What happened to the blingy wheels?

They won't pre-order anything, it will need to be tested before they agree to anything. The fact the car has one owner and has been looked after by the same dealer it's whole life swings massively in his favour. Not to scare you but I have a friend that has had 10+ X5's all brand new from My...

Keep the wheels Ffs! They're lovely.

That's under £20 each when we split our room...

That's a Parallel import. (No alarm sensors and no led by the gear stick) Most of them got registered as Cups because mainly the DVLA had no idea how to deal with JamJar/Motorpoint et al importing thousands of cars every month. As you say though, for what you're doing to it, it matters diddly...

I won't be sharing with any of those turds. They'll tamper with my equipment.

This is a cup... They also came in Blue; Cup's dont have xenon headlights, ABS, half leather seats or a split folding rear seat. Most cups have no Aircon either but some came with it so don't rely on that. Cups 'should have miltispoke Speedline turini wheels too. What's the situation...

Nice.

What tyres did you go for gerk ?

I can't make that promise.

We'll see nearer the time mate. Depends on money situation. I really need a night out with you guys though!

Can I share with you?

We used to sell them with both cup packs, pre registered for £12,999. From memory they were £15,950 in the brochure.

We've got some lovely 1's at work. I used to hate them but they're bloody brilliant!

Oh if I had some money!

Had loads of service history. He paid £850 for it plus auction duty. ;-)

I haven't but a really nice one went through the auction last week. I missed it as I was chatting to a friend I haven't seen for 10 years. I was gutted as that's what I went down to get! lol It's on eBay, a black Dci 80. Up for £1495 in Devon...

OP where are you located?

Rip shifter (essential!) headers, decat, exhaust, panel filter and a map and my mates LS2 was 404bhp. He sold that for £13,000. His current 5.7 has the same mods and ran 399hp. He just bought it for £5,400. They're an utter bargain for what they are. Absolutely brutal.

Love it! Absolutely love it. Best colour for them too.

;-) Yes he does.

What the f**k has it got to do with you? It was already on the car. It's a world famous prospeed exhaust. It's an absolute work of art and the noise is only just a smidge louder than standard. Best exhausts for these cars IMO. And his workmanship is nothing short of perfection. (Prospeed...

Mercury Silver is the colour. You'd have to google the paint code I can't remember it.

North West Performance?

I want a nimbus or red cup packed 197 with climate control. I'm a simple man!

Only the adjusting collars I freed up. It was so long ago. (ie more than a week) that I can't remember what the struts looked like! Lol

I never fitted the FK's mate. I have FK on my mk1 though and those are camber adjustable. From memory, MrMahoosive fitted them and they were FK silver lines?? Might be worth googling them. T1R's are pooh unless used as a 'fun' tyre on a dry track day. good on you for changing!

As soon as I sort my life out, I'll be buying a 197 for a daily car. I've had every fast Renault (apart from the new 5 door automatic...) and I feel the 197 offers the best all round package.

^this!! That car is worth £2500 all day long, don't take any less! It may take a while though as it's Christmas.
