My 197

[Adam]

Well after owning this little beaut for just over a day all I can say is wow. I have said in another thread how driving this makes my old 182 seem like a pile fresh horse product lol and I am definitely not going back.

Here are a few pics anyway, I will do a proper shoot soon .

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks good, any plans for it?

 

[Ben.]

I have changed the h/u and that will be it ...

 

[Adam]

i want that so bad

Get saving then

 

[seb]

seriously sexy!

i want a new 197 to replace my current 197 lol

 

[makavelli]

nice one fella, deffo the best choice with the wheels, looks so much meaner and more purposeful compared to the gloss black and the white alloys :approve:

 

[Ben.]

did you fit the silvervisons?

 

[makavelli]

is it just me or do your indicator bulbs look blue? have you put some in to de-tango it?

 

[davesport172]

that is EXACTLY how i'd get a 197. well done, i'm very jealous!!!

 

[Adam]

Thanks all.

The front indicator bulbs are oil film which give the blue look. I need to put silver visions in the back.

These will be my only mods apart from the h/u, honest

Knew Id eventually come round to them, and I have! Looks great bud.

Wonder if Alan would swap his for a chewy?!

Stunning!! Gorgeous colour too

 

[Pettsi]

197's are growing on me slowly!!

 

[Beef-Mc]

After seeing a 197 in the flesh I love them, used to dislike them with a passion!

Looks lovely, gonna drive past in 30min or so and have a look on the way to the gf's mate. If you fancy a few arty farty shots of new and old gimme a shout and we could nip to ferry by the boatyard one nite, good'ish place for a shoot and you can take me for a blast

does look lovely though, im jelous!

 

[ForceIndia]

V. nice, looks lovely. Perfect colour combo.

 

[Christopher]

Spot on, that!

Perfect spec... i'm with Andy on the wheels too, they look much better than white or black!

 

[Fletcher]

Very nice.

 

[Alexander]

looks lovely, pretty much perfect but IMO needs a lil spoiler!

 

[Kneel]

nice one fella, deffo the best choice with the wheels, looks so much meaner and more purposeful compared to the gloss black and the white alloys :approve:

:rasp:

Looks very nice man, and Im a little jealous you got some car mats in the deal lol. will have to have a meet soonish and get some pics.

 

[Luker1990]

Did you see it lad as I went out shortly after I posted these. Yeah we can pop upto the ferry and take some pics soon mate .

I have been thinking about it. I deffo dont want the Cup spoiler though as it is a little e-tech wingy for my liking, but thats just my opinion anyway.

LOL they are only crappy Arnald Clarke one's. Just need this Justmatz group buy to get underway

 

[Adam]

lol the new car smell is still there as the magic three has pretty much finished lol. I just like the look of it ....

 

[Adam]

Spot on, that!

Perfect spec... i'm with Andy on the wheels too, they look much better than white or black!

Yeah I nearly got white but I am glad I went with the Cup pack option in the end .

 

[Christopher]

Deffo... 100% better

 

[Adam]

^ should get some pics done lad.

 

[Tigger]

She's mint Adam, glad you like it and best of luck too

Matz are making progress so keep your feet clean

 

[Adam]

lol cheers mate

 

[Tigger]

Is that the Sigma 10-20mm lens you were using?

 

[Adam]

It could be lol. Its ben_p's D40. Its deffo is a Sigma lens though

 

[fuel_slut]

This is exactly the spec I would go for, looks amzing.

The only thing that puts me off is the poor econmy. For instance my ph1 is rapid but also returns 35 mpg. Some 197 owners are reporting 25MPG! :-(

 

[Adam]

^ that is what I am getting at the mo. It gets better as the engine is more run in, well thats what I have heard lol .

 

[*Danny*]

looks nice that... where abouts in warrington is that sure i recognise it

 

[Adam]

Penketh mate

 

[*Danny*]
