My New ride (Nimbus content)

[JayR]

After selling my LY 182 a few weeks back i wasnt long on the hunt before a very nice chap called Steve Murr come knocking about a 197!

Because of the age, milage and spec (exactly what i wanted) i was all to glad to take him up on the car so long as it was as mint as he said it was which thankfully it was!

Car details -

58 plate Nimbus on just over 6.5k
Cup Chassis
Mint Recaros
Satin Black Speedlines
And the all important folding mirrors

Few pics - iPhone s**t unfortunatly as i have lost my camera but you get idea until sometime in the near future!

The all important!

Well happy with it! :approve:

After i have finshed enjoying the drive i will get Simon1 out with his Anoraks camera cool to get some better picture and hopefully edit them better than my attempts with the number plate! lol

 

[Bluebeard]

TOLD YOU!!!!!!

Love it mate.

Get some projector/cornering headlamps and its a winner imo. Still dont rate the colour though

 

[JayR]

Its funny mate! The day you and Royston were raving about it i took a litte trek down to Renault to see what it was about and even in standard trim the colour looked ace!

I probably still would've preferd RB or GW to tell you the truth but Nimbus is a top colour and the age, milage and spec of the car was more important to me tbh - I doubt i would've found a better all rounder for my money!

 

[Mr Burns]

Looks great matey, just needs the darker headlights IMO

 

[chrispy.clio]

Vey nice, I like the colour

Ahhhh! My friend! You liked and owned Albi though!

We obviously have very contratsing tastes but if we all liked the same the world would be a very boring place as they say!

 

[Gaz_]

Albi = win, no other word for it!!That said though, i strangley have a longing for a 197 Cup in Nimbus, the black rubbing strips work well with the colour imo


Looks mint mate, get a cover for that Recaro, and 'jump' into it, try not to rub that bolster on the way in

 

[JayR]

Cheers mate!

It come with a tailored cover but to be honest i wont use the car enough to warrant it i dont think!

Are they really that bad for ware even if your careful?

 

[Washington]

I like it A LOT. Those recaros look frigging lovely too.

 

[Jamie]

Very nice.

 

[Riad]

Nice!

 

[Poopensharten]

Best colour imo.

Subtle and classy

 

[fUbAr]

Nimbus is the best colour.

I want a Nimbus R27.

 

[Kerryclio]

Yummy - I do like this colour when in person

 

[Hugo-]

Looks good that, Nimbus always looks better in the flesh!

 

[DIDITNO]

i would have to have this colour in a 197, or at push ly

 

[JayR]

Cheers chaps!

Does look so much better in the flesh! Especially with the Black Speedlines (which always look rubbish in pictures imo)!

 

[fUbAr]

just needs xenons tbh... then it's perfect!

 

[.Simon]

I don't like it tbh, looks crap!!

 

[Paul.]

Best colour imo.

This.

Lovely mate

 

[.GAZ.]

No xenons

 

[DannoTheGreat]

thats stunnin

 

[Paul.]

No xenons

no 197s have xenons gareth

 

[.GAZ.]

Aye they do ya mong!

 

[JayR]

I don't like it tbh, looks crap!!

I dont like you much tbh!

Thanks for the comments chaps!

The Xenons were a downer but not one worth passing up the car for imo!

I did notice the difference when coming through the Darford tunnel this morning though - I really did take the light they give off for granted!

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great mate

 

[Mr Burns]

I dont you much tbh!

Just get a set of cornering lights mate, they look much better and aren't expensive to swap over

 

[Mark R27]

very nice car, black speedlines suit nimbus well

 

[rsclio182]

[R-Sport.]
