197 Update...

[Mr Burns]

Before anyone says I'm copying Gaz with the black mirrors, they are Gazs' old mirrors! lol (Thanks Gaz!)

Gone are the Kumhos and I'm now rocking Hankook V12 Evos, and they're awesome!

I decided to remove the rear seats too just for the sake of it and I kinda like it, Will tidy it up a little when I get chance!

Gave it a clean in the chilly weather and went out for a couple of pics...

Cheers,

Ste.

Looks good son.

Is it true that these 197's are slow?

Glad you like the Hankook's - I was nervous, lol.

 

[Kerryclio]

Very nice Ste

Nah, that would look shite.

The silver on both compliments each other. We spoke about this earlier.

Carbon bonnet though maybe?

 

[Chris205]

love that, all of these nice looking 197's are making me want one

 

[theduck]

 

[RussZS]

Exactly

 

[Wests Renault]

very nice mate. love the red/black combo

 

[theduck]

Exactly

Glad to see you agree lol

I thought about it, but I think doing the doorhandles and bullets would be a step too far. The silver kinda breaks it up a little imo.

 

[theduck]

Well I know wheres some black handles available on exchange if you decide to give it a go

 

[Paul.]

thats stunning!

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

[RussZS]

Dunno must be worth a fair wedge. No wear either as had the base replaced lol.
