How long have you had the car then?

 

[theduck]

Have you painted the pin stripe on now or is it tape?

 

[$torm Rider]

My favourite 197 bar none...

 

[smitchell1]

Want to swap for a 172??? lol

 

[j111ase]

How long have you had the car then?

just over 2 years... got it between christmas and new year in 2006

 

[j111ase]

Have you painted the pin stripe on now or is it tape?

its just tape for now till i decide if it should stay or go.
the black wheels were just supposed to be for winter, but ive ended up liking them more than silver(i think)..

 

[Beef-Mc]

It honestly looks mint, like how you've got the Brembo's colour coded as well.

 

[j111ase]

thanks for the comments... []

 

[smitchell1]

i wish, i would love a vee but need the back seats for my son.
think its about as close as i could get to 1 looks wise,
without making a naf rep.
thanks for the comment though...

 

[smitchell1]

Yeah you know what I mean though, its low and wide, especially from the back!!!

The black wheels really set it off, not sure about the blue rim but its not enough putting me off wanting one just like it!!! lol

 

[j111ase]

thats why my mates call it the "low fat spread"


its ok, im not sure about the blue lip eiither.

 

[smitchell1]

^^^^ lol!!!!

 

[theduck]

I think the blue lip looks good, though not sure if its too much?

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning piccys .

 

[j111ase]

[theduck]

i do actually, need it machine polishing to get rid of light swirling.
where about are you in sheffield.?

 

[supercoop]

that is nice

 

[The Boosh!]

Based in Longley. Its near the Northern General hospital! I'd advise you to put it off abit though while the weather/roads aren't as shitty!

 

[NORMY]

what spacers you got on that jase???

seriously considering it myself..... always look at it and feel the legs need to be spread to fill the skirt!!!


...is it literally a case of wheels off, spacers on, wheels on??? or is there more to it? any long term problems?

[J03]

i love this car, best 197 example bar that white cup racer with silly spacers, looks the nuts, liking the wheels too

mine are 25mm H&R hub adapters.
they bolt to the hub and the wheel bolts to the spacer. this way you can use your standard bolts and lockers.

people will tell you spacers create more stress on the bearings and increase unsprung weight and stuff but, put it this way...
ive had mine on for 2 years. had the bearings checked ever 6 months and they are still fine.

longer bolts suffer from stress more, which is another reason for adapter type spacers. but the smallest you can get them in is 25mm.

is that tim(e)'s car.? (white with white speedlines)
he has the same spacers as me...
25mm behind each wheel.

 

[The Boosh!]

Yeh jase... If there is any specific products/waxes you want me to use then bring them along... give me a PM when your ready to have it done! or i can PM you my mobile number. Luke.

 

[j111ase]

you have pm luke... []

 

[NORMY]

cool. cheers for the talk through!


really considering doing this now

 

[Nick172Cup]

Looks absolutely gorgeous, the only thing id do is take off them tacky Renaultsport stickers, would look mint without them on!

 

[j111ase]

they've helped to minimise stone chips on rear arches through the winter though nick.
they may come of for summer.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Oh right thats fair enough, at least they have a use then! Imho obviously, I just think the vinyls make any clio/sport/v6 look really tacky!

 

[Mr Burns]

Looks good as ever mate!

 

[jesus]

One of my fave 197s

 

[j111ase]
