Hey all,
I picked this 07 plate full fat 197 on Thursday. I've been looking at them for a little while after deciding to sell my money pit of a BMW diesel. Its quite a change from the BMW! Full fat spec of aircon, cruise control, steering wheel controls, Xenons and cornering lights along with Recaro's. Its on 109k with FSH and needs some attention in areas but for £3k I was happy with the condition.
It has a few modifications already, one of the previous owners fitted Eibach lowering springs, a K&N panel filter, exhaust tips and a few black details.
I have bought some items already, an RS steering wheel insert, RS mats, glass bung for a rear wiper delete and a stubby aerial. I have also just purchased a lightweight cam pulley from Raptor on here too.
It needs:
-Cambelt change
-A service
-Recaro bolster repair
-Rust on bootlid
I'm also looking at variety of other things to sort over time, remove the F1 stickers, adjust the Xenons as they are too high, put OEM silver badges and silver bullets on, colour code the door handles, remove the Cup spoiler, add on a Sprint spoiler, aircon regas, install a foot rest, clean the engine bay, add 20mm wheel spacers, Powerflex the engine and gearbox mounts, give the paintwork a good clean, de-tar, polish and wax and sort the small dent and damage. I may even remove the Eibachs and put Cup springs on if they are more comfortable!
Enough of the talk, here are the photos so far, I have only had a chance to put on the stubby aerial and some LED 501 bulbs.
Any advice with what to do is always appreciated
