I'm a little late on this one, but just had my scorpion half-system fitted today on my 197. Looks and sounds awesome! The only problem I did encounter, the clamps that Scorpion provided didn't fit (wrong diameter (how??)) so had to substitute for clamps the right size. Other than that...

Has anyone found a fix for this? my number four stopped working. I'll fix it myself if I can, anyone got any ideas or had any luck sorting it?

looking awesome! where did you get the LED lights from?

Yea that's right mate, managed to use a luggage hook thing (bungee cord with two hooks on either end) to basically keep the caliper off the car but in the air, meaning it didn't need to be rested anywhere & didn't damage any cables. From there, gave them a good clean & light sand, then a few...

Saw an awesome silver 200 driving towards Tamworth (M42) and then on M6 Anthracite alloys, Red Brembo Calipers & chrome exhaust pipes - might not be exact details, but close enough given my quick look whilst driving!

I can't comment on how good the Hankook v12's are, but can comment on how good my Ventus S1 evo's are...much better than the conti's before. It may be controversial as they are about a 100 each and people may recommend a better tyre for that price, but unless someone can guarantee a better tyre...

So just wanted to post a few pics of the aftermath which was 4days worth of hard graft. Done quite a lot of work to her and saved a shed load of money compared to taking her to Renault. My technical knowledge has also grown which I'll share as much as possible! List of technical work done...

This happened to me last week...opened the box to find no locking nut. Ordered a new one (£22) custom made from a photo, only to find my actual locking nut was wedged under the jack in the boot! You may have already checked, but take a look in that tool compartment thing in the boot before...

I've literally just walked in from the garage after doing this. Exactly what I've just done except used brake cleaner instead of white spirit. Used a knife to get off all the old adhesive crap, peeled the backing off the new ones, stuck on a treat!

Can we see some pics with the darker alloys on? :)

Ah that would be awesome if you could, I'd be forever greatful!! :thumbsup:

These look awesome! I've been thinking about doing mine, I was going to do them red with anthracite alloys, but this could be a game changer. Never thought about the blue and it looks so good! The only question I have is about the stickers, a really nice touch which I think is necessary IMO...

brilliant, thanks for your help guys! I'll check them both out :)

Does anyone know any decent places to get my alloys refurbished and powder coated in the Coventry/Midlands area? Previous owner of my 197 did't take too much with them, so want to get them refurbished and was thinking about a colour change to something like anthracite maybe. anyway, if...

this looks awesome!! nice work, looks sweet p.s love the location & shot of the before photo!
