Sorry to hear this matey. I had my 197 done a couple of months ago, it's such a sickening feeling that words can't describe. If I was PM I'd have these low lifes hung up in Trafalgar Square for all to see. I used some T-Cut coloured scratch remover on mine. It won't make it totally...

Plus a nicer interior, more torque and 3hp more:thumbup: I tried to dismiss the 200 as "just a facelift" but then I made the mistake of test driving one. It just feels like a more complete car, really what the 197 should have been from day one. I only went to have a look because my 197...
