Excellent! Looks absolutely mint... props. Only thing that lets it down imo is the chavvy number plate, sorry. Also, you don't need a TAX disc anymore :D

Looks fantastic! Almost the best spec possible (imo yellow/blue/red > white ;)) There's a black 56 plate 197 round here with no options at all as far as I can tell sitting on a garage forecourt for £6,499... that seems well over priced these days (obviously don't know mileage though) amirite?

Just to let you know mate when I was test driving cars before my Mini purchase, I also test drove an EP3 CTR and a Mk5 Golf GTI. The Civic looks the bomb but tbh I didn't like the high revving power delivery... it felt slow, like there was really nothing to it 😧 the gear shift however...

I break my own theory sometimes lol. I was actually considering Turini's for the Mini, however on my dark grey car (they call it silver, but it clearly isn't!) I do actually think the anthracite ones look so much better...

Must admit I feel the same way about my MCS... haven't really bonded with it yet. Mainly though, I think that's because I kept the 182 longer than any car before (4 years) and modded to (my) perfection. Whereas the MCS is pretty much totally standard and atm I can't afford to do anything about it!

Bright car - Dark wheels Dark car - Bright wheels Therefore with a silver car it has to be anthracite :)

I haven't driven a VXR, but I think the new ones look stunning tbh. Perfect if you're after something a bit more subtle...

I believe the R53 JCW brakes (red) and R56 MCS (silver) brakes are the same. As you say, may just have been painted... mine too perhaps :)

But... dat handling :cool:

I know I'm going to get hate but for £8k I'd be looking at Astra XVRs tbh... just think they look great. Failing that, a Golf GTI or Focus ST.

By the way... do you have JCW brakes? I've been told that they're the only ones that come in red on the R53s. Mine are red... but I can't seen any JCW branding on them.

Damn you Renault!

Don't often see the Aero skirts without the front bumper... but it definitely works! Will hopefully get my hands on some one day :)

Only reason I'm put off something like that is my mate took his iPhone 5S to one of these repair shops in London with a failed power button. They fixed it and all was happy days... for a little while. The following week it was dead again and so were the volume buttons and it wouldn't vibrate...

Neither of you got an iPhone? They do it just fine... I've done plenty of time lapse videos with it :)

Maybe... but neither of us have one lol. For now we're seriously cutting down on everything for this mortgage so she's going to whack on a screen protector instead :tongueout:

That still happens even on Mk3s!? Looked wicked anyway.

Two more things to add to the mix... finance with Apple starts @ £15 p/m which isn't too bad for an iPad Air. Also, she could still get around £50-60 her hers on eBay.

£1.00 Reserve not met No s**t lol. Still, it's worth nearer to £1 than £23,500...

To be fair I don't know much about 197s... just noticed it didn't have Recaros or anthracite wheels! Also looks pretty high.

No options but mileage makes up! Keep it mint :D

Hi the missus broke her iPad the other day, s**t bit of luck... just opened the cupboard door and a tin fell out and landed straight on it :( it's pretty fucked. The options: Apple repair - £236.44 (get your random pricing out) Buy another one second hand - £200ish? DIY repair - £10 for a...

My friend has one of these and it looks absolutely knackered after just a few weeks.

As Dan said, not a lot different to the Clio on the build quality! There's positives and negatives against the Clio 182 I had... the worst for me being the gearbox, it's pretty fecking horrible. Much better warmed up which unfortunately is why I never noticed it on the test drive I guess :(...

My manager bought a new screen off eBay... colour is well off, looks like it's been stained with a layer of semen.

Added an 'S' what do we reckon... good or gash?

Cheers mate :) might give it ago.

Tried it, doesn't work very well imo. I think the lighting behind the TV looks very pretty, but is there a point? Is it easier on the eyes? I have an eye disorder where I suffer from glaring quite badly... wonder if this could help. Do you tend to just keep it on the one colour?

Only the ice cream.

Seen some on here but anymore pictures of around the TV lights? Wouldn't mind doing this tbh but my TV has a huge gap between it and the wall, not sure it'd look so great?
