Friday PM out for a walk ,nimbus 197 heading towards town

All sprayed at the alpine factory,mine looks the same.Here is mine.Under arificial lights the shades can change. You need to look at it in sunlight as it reflects and looks other shades when viewed in dull /cloudy weather.

Back goes light on mine when braking hard ,you need a cup spoiler to help keep the back planted.

They are wet doors so the water goes down inside the door and out through a drain hole in the bottom.

:welcome: the wait is part of the fun

Hi and good car pics?

Check the drains are not full of leaves (under bonnet)

Opps sorry ,so how do you tell the Xenon from the projector type?

2 headlight types.

On Hol; in Andorra

My 1st one nine seven had climate,folding heated mirrors ,(non cup '06),corner self level lights, extra tint windows ,front spliter,rear spoiler,keyless(which adds in-out colum adjustment to the standard up and down,)cruise and speed limiter,head lamp wash ,upgraded stereo etc .My F1 has all...

Use mine for long trips,track days and comuting,had a 197 with the normal sports seats but the Recaros in this one are fantastic and well worth having other than the bolster ware problem,would like to get them in leather cost £240 per seat tio have done .

On a track day mine beats the 182 on the straights and leaves it for dead on the bends.

Over 300 is a waste with FWD ,and the Renaults handle so much better.Just watch the Vid of the 200 cling to the tail of a '310'!! BHP Focus.

My first 197 had a new box fitted and the ratios mean a slightly slower 0-60 with the new box. The 200 has yet another set of Ratios but more low down torque and an extra 3 bhp but the 0-60 is about the same ,a re map /exhaust etc would get you more torque and higher power .

Cheers Mark and thanks for the bits .

The Clio will beat a Mazda round the bends and stay with 300+ bhp cars in the twisty bits,but like the others said you have to rev it.Drove mine to Italy and Malorca been all over France in it ,comfy all day long .And practical.
