Shuv's Racing Blue 200...................

[Chris]

Awesome shuv - look forward to what you do with them

 

[Jimmy]

Seize the day is great. Especially if the World is about to end. When you got bills and shit and have worked bloody hard to scrimp all you can together to make this mini-project happen - unfortunately re-sale value does have a certain appeal........


So: Plan your work and then work your plan: Has now changed to - See what lairy Orange inspired theme you can dream up on the day has it Jimmy ! (smiling-winking-emoji)

I'm glad in some ways your not down this way and coming in to the trimmers with me for 'encouragement'

We'd end up with something looking like it was straight out of Dame Edna Everage's wardrobe !

Haha, I guess I'll take that as a compliment!!

But yeah, it is easy to spend someone else's money and I do jest (kinda...), but I know that you'll come up with something pretty special either way

[Micah]

Superb matey, bring on the orange inspired Retango CS's - @Jimmy will sort out the seat base sticker for you

Timescale ? Not sure when my man can fit me in Pav. Get the seats in my hands first. Have a think for a few weeks about exactly what i want - then order some leather.

At least i'll be underway

Genuinely chuffed for you Shuv. Can't wait to see what you have planned.

 

[Gordini]

Great move Shuv , glad you finally pulled the trigger...

 

[matt9566]

Well happy for you mate! Glad you've got sorted, really looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

 

[BenAG200]

That's a nice update look forward to seeing the end result.

 

[Big Ben]

Yes. Bout bloody time!

Pleased you've sorted out which direction you're heading Shuv. As above cant wait to see the results.

 

[///M]

YES MATE!!!

So awesome to see this happening. Can NOT wait to see the finished article!!!

Best of luck getting it all sorted. Hope it's all straightforward.

Fantastic purchase!

 

[Christopher]

Great purchase! I'd recommend the lower subframes if you can get hold of a set. Makes the driving position so much better!

Cheers guys

Seeing as these are from a 197:

1: I presume runners will bolt to my 200 no problem ?

2. I presume a pair of seats will go in my boot ? @Gordini

I know with seats down you can get them in ok, don't know if you'd manage to get them in just the boot space though.

I can confirm you need the back seats down and arrange them as you would a pair of shoes in a box - top to tail. Have some assistance getting them in and out as you'll likely catch the runners on the lip of the bumper and they are not at all light.
Try and drape some old carpet over the boot lip to protect it just in case!
Don't forget the resistors - 3.3 Ohms should do it (but that's much further down the line)

I can confirm that they definitely fit in the boot of a grand scenic mate

Thanks for all the help and support chaps

Recaro's are being collected in the morning (400 mile round trip). I'm leaving at 4am.....should be back around 1pm hopefully.

I'm then going in Tuesday after work to see my trimmer; and order the leather - so it can then be sent off for any embroidery i want; and we can get ahead of the game so to speak.

And i've also booked in with the trimmer for the job. He does have a 5 week wait though right now. Which is a good thing to hear i guess.....
