My 197 Pictures.... needs lowering!!

[chris197sport]

Hope you all like the 4 bulb indicator conversion on the final picture! lol :clown:
It does have xenons but just look like normal bulbs in the pics???

 

[Ben.]

stunning car!!

wouldnt have been my personal colour choice

how much did you pay?

 

[Christopher]

gorgeous

a little drop and refurb the wheels in the R27 colour...perfection

 

[Shindig]

just dont look as mean as the 182, sorry

 

[nottie]

dont likr it espesh in that colour, looks a bit girly

 

[LiquidRich]

very nice
Yeah I would get the wheels done the same colour as the R27, I have seen a silver R27 and it looks smart with the dark wheels.
first I've seen in silver, looks a lot better than I thought it would

 

[chris197sport]

just dont look as mean as the 182, sorry

??? Personal choice mate but personlly i think the 197 lowerd has much more road presence!

I paid perhaps a bit much for it.. £16,000 with recaro's £850. Xenons, Climate and Aircon. Blutooth. Tints all round.

Was just thinking that r27 colour wheels would realy set it off with some h&r springs..

 

[LiquidRich]

pretty good price if it came from a dealer and with 12months tax

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning pictures. Where was they taken? Nice car. A little lower would sufice.

 

[tomhunt85]

I've got to say I wouldn't have gone for silver again after the 172 but seeing the 197 in the flesh in Nimbus it looks really smart and I'd consider it.

 

[chris197sport]

Yeah was from a dealer...

The pics were taken on scout road and blue lagoon near belmont. These places are up rivington nr Bolton.. There are some great driving roads up there! :evil:

Nimbus rules!

~~~ runs away and awaits response!!! :evil: lol ~~~

 

[Gem]

What awesome pictures

I really quite like the 197 - but I think Id be very boring and have it in Black...

Maybe the 197 is going becoming one of those models you either love or hate?

Oh yes, may have to take a detour after work because I've not been up there for a while.

 

[DebV6]

looks nice, not my fave choice of colour, but would look pretty good lowered and with anthracite wheels like the r27!

 

[chris197sport]

More pics....

 

[DebV6]

Nice, love the seats!

 

[Gaz197]

When I ordered mine I didnt have any 197's to actually look at and choose, only color charts. The dealers said nimbus was way off being a silver...it clearly isnt...looks nice, dont think it would shine as much as a highly polished black one though, would look good with anthracite wheels

 

[mossyv6]

I WANT THEM SEATS!!!!

 

[daydotz]

lovely

 

[chris197sport]

I WANT THEM SEATS!!!!

Thats what i said to myself when i first sat in them so they were at must!
Having already had 2 black clios (Clio 2 1.2 16v Dynamique and clio 3 1.4 16v Dynamique S) i wanted a change in colour......

 

[rustybolt]

seats are the best bit.!

nice colour

 

[GarethM]

[leeds_182]

yes all personal pref, i really hope u enjoy it... tis good for the clio community

 

[Ian_182]

I agree with the wheel colour in anthracite,but i would only lower it 20mm at the most.Do eibach make these springs yet because they used to be the daddies for the 172/182

[DrR]

The 197 always look so crap in pictures, but are so nice in real life.

 

[Mikey]

stunning car !! but sorry silver does nothing for me .... and yes will be awesome when lowered!!

 

[springer]

Smart car

 

[graham_172]

[IB172]

[ollie]

[Bloooor]

definatly needs lowerisation mate lol will look sweet once its done!

 

[chris197sport]

Its my car and i even agree with this comment! Always looks better in the flesh...
Yeah the pics are near rivington pike....

 

[DAVID SNAPE]

Yeah in pics they dont look very interesting......but then in the flesh, they look wide, modern and aggressive.
Lowering 30F/40R will look great....the spacing on wheels 25mm ea. is the finishing touch.
Does your car generally look silver more of the time or in dull light does it come across as flint/grey??? Im not sure whether to get black or Nimbus.

 

[Final Maxim]

still aint overly keen, wings look nice though

 

[Ryan]

just dont look as mean as the 182, sorry

what makes the 182 look mean? The only mean looking clio is a valver/williams

 

[black kro]

get it lowered with wheels spacers - some MINT pics on Renaultsport form!
