Wheres the vent?

[banther]

So this very morn upon returning from B&Q I saw a very nice 197 (I think).

It has me thinking about one. However, the thing I found myself liking about it the most was the vents in front of the back wheels here;

I've had a look through the ads on here but I havent seen any with vents?! Is this an aftermarket thing?

Am I reverting to type and being a huge spastic?

 

[-Dan]

It does have the vents mate. That's just a funny angle. Check out the rests of the pictures in that for sale thread.

 

[banther]

Really?!

 

[cat171]

I've never seen a vent there. Even looking on Google I can't see one :S

 

[banther]

OK just realised I'm being a complete mong.

I was looking at the car from behind so the vents were behind the front wheels.

Awesome.

Vents in the rear? What?

Bellendical levels of retardation!

The 197/200's really stand out more in real life than in photos i've found.

Haha I thought you meant the front wheels. I was like "how can he not see them? !"

Shut up.

Yeah - I hadnt really spent any time looking at one. They really are very good looking cars. Although I would want one with the rear spoiler this one had.

Haha I thought you meant the front wheels. I was like "how can he not see them? !"

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm a smidge embarrassed.

 

[-Dan]

Awesome looking cars, I like the cup spoiler. Get one!

 

[Adamm.]

Flol!! When reading op I thought he meant the ones behind front wheels but the picture threw me.

Op went full r****d.

The 197 is a superb looking car. I'll have mine in Albi blue please. With the shitty gearbox and shocking MPG.

Lol, he'd circled the rear wheel arch.

I like them modded up a bit, there are some fantastic looking ones on here.

 

[Gally]

Yup, they need some eibachs and a proper exhaust system as they sound like a sewing machine as standard.

 

[-Dan]

Lol, he'd circled the rear wheel arch.

Yeah, I saw this on my second look. I think I didn't recognise it because I'd been looking at the original picture earlier on!

 

[cat171]

I remember the one that looked like this on here, man it was gorgeous!!!



This one looks 'Mizn too.

Yeah thats what would worry me.

I dont think I could use it for work and it would be a pretty expensive toy as I could get a ph1 for weekend use for a grand.

Were the gearboxes repaired under warranty? If they've been replaced are there still issues?

Jordi ? Is that you ?

Am I reverting to type and being a huge spastic?

Yup.

 

[banther]

Yup.

Nice edit.

I'm kinda hoping this gets locked down.

 

[cat171]

iirc what has been seen cannot be unseen (or in your case not seen)

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

CS never forgets.

NEVER.

 

[banther]

I shouldnt have admitted and just sworn blind this guy had some fancy new mod.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

NEVER.

 

[DaveDreads]

I know i'm late to the party, but vents in the rear arches?

 

[Gally]

I shouldnt have admitted and just sworn blind this guy had some fancy new mod.

That would have been infinitely better for you!

 

[Mr R.]

197s look epic with spacers and coilovers.

I like the "sprint spoiler" (duck bum I call it) rather than the Cup spoiler.

Craig had a lovely RB 197, perfect imo.

Lol. This.

And an obligatory bump to take it back to the top, so more people can see banther is an amoeba.
