my new 197

[Tyler@Ultimate]

HI
Sold my 182 last year and only recently just brought myself a Ultra Red 197,
Signed up to clio197 and posted the same thing as their seam to be a lot more 197's there lol
anyway old car here.

Its got a few extras including climate control, Cabasse speakers/6 cd unit, cornering lights and key less entry and start. (these are all I can think it has atm)
I was looking at getting another 182 this year, but after driving a 197 I was really impressed with the improvements that have been made, especially to the sound that the standard system makes over the 182 standard system. car feels tighter and smoother, and the gearbox it a lot better.
So last week I brought a Ultra Red 197, before I picked it up I got my mate to do the wheels in black, as I don't think silver a red work well together. Also had its 5 yearly service (inc belts etc)
anyway here are a few exterior pictures I took yesterday.

comments welcome

mods to follow this year include
Parrot kit
Spacers
HID's (as I have the projector lights)
Cup Spoiler

Thanks, Yeah worse than my 182 was, but oh well sounds a lot nicer, so I can live with it.

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Thanks.
I'm not one for slamming but I would consider putting a set of eibachs on, as I did with my 182

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Thanks, was never looking for a car in red, but now I love the color lol.

Always liked the red ones, i can remember when they first come out, we had a red one as our courtesy car at work

Spring-wise I'd go for H&R's, but some nice juicy KW's would look 10x better!

Very very nice. They look great in red.

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

apologies grammar is not my strongest point

 

[Poopensharten]

Im only jesting mate, very nice car though... red's by far and away the best colour for the 197's.

Good call on the HID front, a must in any car with projector lenses anyway

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Yeah I agree, had them in my 182 and really miss them.
Just researching what set to get and how they will be to fit.

Always loved the red and black combo, looks great buddy.
