Wheres the vent?

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?

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

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.

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

Bellendical levels of retardation!

Shut up.

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

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.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm a smidge embarrassed.

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

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

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?

  A special one.
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.
