197 are different to 200 headlamps but any facelift one should fit.

I'd supercharge it. Ktec kit retains the aircon iirc and with a supercharger you keep the more linear NA type power curve but just with bigger numbers. You'll not get as much torque as a turbo so parts will be less stressed. Ktec will do all the work for you too. Lots of people have done turbo...

I'm guessing as a show glaze it's not going to last very long?

Spotted last week on Rockingham Road Swinton near Rotherham. Front end completely flat, quite an achievement on a 30mph road. I've scoured the socials but not seen anyone claim it. R. I. P.

Or a supercharger?

Yep it's very satisfying reversing someones ill judged mods. I mean how the hell do you paint something that bad and say to yourself "yeah that's better now"? :tearsofjoy:

Well, not only was the colour choice poor but the implementation equally so. Luckily for me the surface wasn't keyed so with a few sprays of thinners and some rubbing with a rag the blue was banished. Well banished from the centre caps anyway :laughing:. With the centre caps looking that good...

So a bit of glue is the best option then. Ideally I'd like it shiny as it should be but maybe I'll wait until I get the spoiler painted and have the badge done pearl white too. What about the diamond, they have been painted black and are peeling and I hate them black, how do they come off?

Nearly forgot; It would appear these badges are more securely attached than a previous owner thought. Looks liken they pulled it off the backing when they unwisely chose to paint it blue and then glued it back on. Well it fell off when I was washing the car. OMG how bloody expensive are they...

Over the last week I've read through your thread and you've built a stunning car. Good to see that you and @EthanMenace can enjoy it at plenty of track days this year. I'd love to see it sometime and hearing the Akra at full chat would be nice too. :thumb:

That looks great. I nearly bought a twingo 133 gordini last year and was considering one when shopping for a 200. Those recaro's are pure porn!

Thanks, it is looking much better and is as a straight as the previous owner said. Yeah I spent far too long around the boot lid! So far the only clio I've broken was on the passenger side window trim so the end above the door handle sticks out now. I guess I'll need a new trim now. The...

I've added new side repeaters to the parts list. It seems they have some green muck inside them that I can't get to. This is annoying as they were a real pain to get off the car and I thought they would break for sure. Now I'll have to go through that again:sob:. After getting the headlamps...

Last weekend I set about cleaning some of the grubby parts of the car. This meant pulling parts off:fearscream:. The roof trim was easy enough to get off, and as expected it was pretty minging underneath. Armed with some Auto Finesse citrus power and a brush I gave it a good tickle. Sucess...

Spotted a couple of times near Rotherham heading towards Wath at 6.30 am. It was for sale recently so maybe new owner? 61 plate I think.

My new 200 has the cup spoiler on too and the other day the wife said she doesn't like it! Well it's a good job her opinion doesn't matter a jot then isn't it :laughing: . I'll be wrapping mine black though and the paint is cracked and I've got other parts to buy before paint.

Those seats look amazing! Cage and harnesses to follow I presume?

Oh god, I can't take the pressure . (and the emojis didn't appear!)

Thanks, I did the scuttle today and the car probably shed 10kg of water :tearsofjoy:. I can't wait until I give it a good wash and a bit of polish. I paid 4 for it which seems to be half what 200's are up at with similar mileage at the moment. For a colour I really like it seemed worth a punt...

While the bonnet was up I decided to have a look under the scuttle. With all that muck and tree deritus there wasn't much chance it would be dry. The wiper arms came off nice and easily so I didn't crack the windscreen like I did removing the 182 wipers! There's drains you say? The water was...
