This project looks good, only criticism I have is your disregard for your own safety whilst fitting the exhaust and the fact you havent removed the valves or the balancing weights from the wheels when spraying.
I didnt fit the exhaust, and did little above watch. Mini-valver fitted it and was obviously happy doing it with just the trolley jack. Thats his call and not mine.
IMO valves didnt need removing. Couple of wheel weights were missed and tbh I dont really care because at some point they will be properly refurbished.

Carl had ride side strips and a red bacnd over all the arches!
And this is a 197
And this is a 197
Just an update of where things are at.
Wheels - ready to go on just need to get tyres swapped over.
Decal removal - will happen when I get chance to clean thd car.
new secret styling parts - will go on once wheels are on and decals removed
new secret 197 first - awaiting delivery and will be fitted immediately
new secret Performance part - got mostthe bits I need to make and fit it, just need time to do so and preferably a warmer day. This bits likely to be new year.
New year onwards will see more custom performance mods, oil temp gauge, hopefully a safety devices half cage and some more neat touches to exterior and interior.

Easily fixed, and as you'll see if you read the thread, I forgot to take it off...
ANYWAY...
UPDATE TIME
Had a part arrive just now, is the first one of its kind for a 197
Will be fitted later and will update with pics accordingly. Will grab some pics of the side strips on the car as well.Now for the bad news, due to personal cirscumtances the refresh will be slowing right down. Basically anything thats going to cost me money is on stop. This means theres a couple more updates still to come as there a few bits and pieces I can still do that arent going to cost me anything, or cost little enough I can still do them. Unfortunately once these bits are done, it looks like this thread will dry up a bit. Hopefully it wont be on hold too long, but only time will tell.
Pics of side strips:
And now for the secret 197 first
A rear strut brace! Thanks to Earpl for making it. Its top quality item, fit is perfect and finish is excellent to. Pics:
Sorry about the low res photos, I've lost the lead to my proper camera so having to use camera phone.
A note on the rear strut, you do have to remove the rear carpets to fit. However, it would be possible to fit with carpet in place which I will be doing at a later date. All you'd need to do is locate the strut top bolt, cut a + shape in the carpet just big enough to push the bolt through, and then bolt it into place that way.
Am very happy with it anyway, and will probably paint at a later date just to make it fit the colour scheme.

Not keen on the strips, stickers, basically everything you done, the Tow sticker looks alright, but IMO your just ruining it, was mint when you picked it up.
edit: Red wheels could look good though.

Nick have you read the thread????
All stickers - R27 style, pedo bear, motorsport safety stickers, tow - are all being removed. As is the carbon wrap on the diamonds.
Red wheels will be going on eventually, as will some other new styling bits, details of which are remaining secret.
The side strips look great imo and will work best with the new styling bits.

Was meant to be new year.
