[seb]

hope the picture is ok....

someone lower it for me, not majorly but a wee bit

[ChrisH]

Here you go, not sure if i've lowered it a bit more than you wanted let me know and i'll do it again if you like,
anthracite and lowered for me:

 

[Pettsi]

Seb, that is sexy mate! I lurvvee that colour!

 

[seb]

cool ta hodg.

hmmm just don't know about silver and anthracite...

 

[Ali]

lower it job done. I like it alot!

 

[ChrisH]

stay silver?

 

[ForceIndia]

f**king do it! R27 in nimbus looks amazing, yet I don't like it on the 197 because of the brighter wheels.

 

[Peperami]

Keep the wheels silver, you love cleaning them!

 

[seb]

still need to clean them proper like!

 

[Peperami]

Lol did you not jack it up in the end?

 

[seb]

nah it was too hot tbh! got it planned for an overcast day.

 

[Peperami]

Bet it rains

Get those wheels done in black and your car will look even more superb than it already is (although your headlights look crap).

 

[Iridium]

How come his headlights look crap? They're just the normal ones aren't they? I didn't want Xenons on mine, because they come with the god awful washer jet that just looks so bad IMHO. Stickin out there like it owns the place...

 

[Peperami]

Have just seen this posted in another thread.

Looks immense and not far from what you have now mate.

 

[martandem]

lowered and anthracite wheels FTW!!!!

 

[dandan]

The comment was a little tongue in cheek. You could've gone for the cornering light option, then you would have got the headlamps with the black surround, which in my eyes look 10 times better than the standard headlamp.

flol, i got the pvoerty spec

when i went ot buy a 197 it was at the time when they had quite a decent wait. they had a 197 in another dealer that hadn't been registered yet so if i wanted it i could have it within a week instead of like 3 months or something.

only issue was it only had met paint. The only thing that bothered me was no xenons but i'm over it now!

Do this!

Looks superb!

 

[seb]

would bright orange look s**t?

 

[clio_luke]

yes i think bright orange would look s**t.

the first ps looks great! you should do that. lower with antharcite wheels. looks great!

 

[seb]

ok, can anyone do some gloss black wheels for me? saw an ultra red 197 in them and it looked cool.

what kinda cost am i looking at for doing a PROPER wheel refurb (got a scrape on the front wheel... nightmare.) and the change in colour?

 

[JR]

About £160 through fred via lap tab / the wheel specialist.

 

[seb]

For all 4 wheels? including sorting out the bit of damage?

rought estimates...

 

[JR]

yep

 

[seb]

that seems a good price to me.

what is the turn around as the issue would be getting some steelies to use on the 197...

much better - get it done seb!

then turn up to a f**king meet

 

[paul]

^^ id do that if i had that colour! ^^

 

[JR]

Think they can be done within a day, pm Fred mate.

 

[seb]

Cheers Justin, I will do.

To the happy couple Paul/Timmay - Anthracite is cool, but i just think gloss black will look kinda cool.

Anyone one got the skillz to do a quick chop for me?

 

[paul]

Anthracite is the future! do them your self!

 

[GarethM]

looks good that seb

 

[seb]

I ain't some pikey Paul, I want a decent job done tbh.

It is rather nice, cheers Garf.

Come on people do me some gloss black!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

i like how you ignored me saying about coming to a meet

 

[seb]

One day Timmay, one day... the latest one for the curry is fecking miles away for me.

cheers Fred.

Many think gloss looks s**t cos it makes the tyre stand out... but i think gloss is the only real option if going black?

Like this one:

How cool does nimbus look with black wheels!

Fred, ideas on turn around etc as per my pm?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i wouldn't go gloss black, they show all the marks (swirls etc)
