Busy weekend, 197 & 200 pics inside, Pic heavy!!!

[SBV116]

Firstly yesterday, i decided to give the 200 a flick over after it's first week of ownership, while gaz gave his sister's RB a once over!

Before wash, not that bad really! lol :

During and after a quick hoover! :

Tool of choice :

Couple of additions, also added silvervisions and taken the clio badge off :

Sneaky RB pic mid polish etc! :

Then, today was the 197's turn!

Best tool i have, KArcher steam cleaner, excellent bit of kit! :

Disgruntled cat, because steam cleaner has woke him up........

Back to business :

After a wash, incldung all wheel removal, arch clean etc, and gaz polishing the calipers, lol!! :

Then we went out for a little spin, and got some pics out and about! :

I did say there were lots of pics, ha ha! Used PB bulk uploader, so probably killed any quality!

Very nice, can I has the horse box though Please?

 

[Gaz.]

That 197 makes the 200 look high!

 

[172Ben]

That 200 is lovely dude!

Top bombing!

 

[TC.]

Both nice motors but I think id have the 197 all day long

it's a beast! can't understand why it has a 5th gear, because it is useless!!!! You slow down and have to change back to fourth!

 

[Christopher]

That's why the 197's the better looking front. End of.

200 has a great spec though!

ROFL I know, I drove my mates 7.5 tonne on private land, I don't even bother to change gear, although hers is really old so your lucky if you even find a gear!!

 

[Davis]

really like the 200 and the 197 isnt bad!

 

[SBV116]

197 is mint tbh, and i would have had one without a doubt, but for what i wanted and low miels etc, they were still demanding not a million miles away from what i paid for the spanking 200! I drove it back after we took the pics, i can't tell any bloody difference lol! Gaz said he could tell the difference with the rack!

 

[Jordi17]

great motors all there

 

[Paul.]

the 197 really shows the 200 up there imo. Appreciate the spec of the 200 though but the 197 looks far better

 

[SBV116]

Not long imo Still might be on fo the weekend....


Yep, can deffo tell the quicker rack on the 200!!, engine to me doesnt feel that different, could be as mines well run in and the 200 is new?

Imo the whole MK3 range dont photo too well. On the road both have good presence tbh!!

Cheers

 

[SBV116]

KEEP IT.

 

[cat171]

I love that 197, it looks ace. I reckon the 200 will look a lot better dropped (and maybe with black wheels ?)

 

[Paul_LY-182]

all looking very nice as said once you ve got the coilovers on the 200 it ll look much better!

 

[Gaz_]

 

[Gary172cup]

both look mint.good work !!!!

 

[Mr Burns]

Good stuff, 197 looking sexy as ever

 

[Gaz_]

Ah thanking you!

 

[BREMBO]

Not a fan of the 200 seeing it against the 197, but probaly the best 197 I have seen

 

[Gaz_]

cheers, i think it maybe its last hurrah tbh, back to standard for sale in the next few weeks i think

 

[SBV116]

Don't sell it you gimp!! I f**king love the 200, every time i get in it makes me smile!

 

[Lou]

I can't decide which I prefer! Both look mint!!

 

[DrR]

Sex wee.

 

[jordan172]

both cars are looking great!

love them both, you boys know how to polish a car lol

 

[Gaz_]

Is he still happy with the old girl?!

 

[rocky99]

197 looks damn fine with the black speedlines and drop, nice job. Why selling though gaz? And if so how long the coils been on and how much?

 

[jordan172]

Yeh its still gleaming as it sleeps in a garage every night

tbh, i only really use it to and from the gf's, just think the money maybe better put to something else lol (dont have any loans/finance anything on it, so its a big chunk of wedge into the savings......) Coilovers and speedlines already have a home if it does go, the Recaros dont though (yet )

SBV (steve kev) thinks i'm being a tool for even thinking it lol
