I wouldn't mind you copying the post and creating a new thread in the How To section, Chris. To be honest, I was a paid member at the time (I think), but never got around to posting it in the correct section.

Agree with foxspeed - sounds like the clock spring to me.

I reckon it'll be your gearbox mount. Rubber contracting when cold allowing things to move about. Easy to replace.

Sounds like a great combo

Plastidipped strips + matte black centre console.

Will open it up and find a more permanent solution like you guys have - doubt it's going to stay put the way I've put it back.

Went out and had a play with the wiring harness / connector that plugs into the cluster. When I move it about, the light works. Hopefully it holds the way I've put it back together.

My driver's side rear turn signal isn't working. I've switched it with a couple of other bulbs (which are working) and nothing - it still doesn't work. The other lights in the cluster all work. I can't imagine the indicator would be on its own fuse - would it? The front and side turn signal...

Awesome. Thanks for the tips ken.

My search hasn't turned up much in the way of instructions. Does the Recaro seat fabric simply unclip (I'm dealing with the side bolster on the backrest, specifically)? And, more importantly, once unclipped, how difficult is it to get back in again? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

Please do. Always useful seeing something different :)

Keen to see what it all looks like in black pearl - have any pics?

This was the interior on my previous car. Not massively different from standard, but it worked well (the car was red too). A couple of cans of Plastidip and a couple of hours is all it cost. I'm sure there will be more interesting stuff out there.

Those are beautiful. In fact, if you've got those in high enough res, I'd be keen to use them as a desktop background.

Hey shep4rd, I think the links broke while organising my album. Here you go with pics. Here's how I went about it: 1. Undo 2 screws under the steering wheel. The column covers will then pop off (with some work). One will move up, the other down as shown here. 2. Remove the stalk so you can...

What a great bunch of pics. We don't have nearly enough RSs down here to pull off runs with those kinds of numbers.

Haha, it is. Well spotted. 1 300km that was meant to be. Thanks

Thanks very much all. I don't have many more plans at this stage. Just a decent set of exhaust tips, which I'd have ceramic coated gloss black. And then have it mapped.

I thought it was about time to do a small progress thread on here. This is my second 197, having come from a Nimbus which I owned for about two years. I've owned this one for roughly a year. Picked her up in Johannesburg and drove back home to Cape Town. FF with Recaros and Speedlines...
