    197: Renaultsport badges..

    I was looking through pics on google and came across this car (no idea who's it is) I really like the look of that renaultsport badge on a black car but after more googling and looking on eBay can't find one like it, does anyone know which model this is off or where you can buy one? Thanks in...

    Agree, was a really good, enjoyable day, this was the first event I've been to loved seeing the amount of time and effort people put into making these a true enthusiasts car! For me, a very expensive day in the long run - I've come away with a long to do list haha but especially after getting a...

    Nice one, cars in for cambelt and having exhaust fitted so providing I get it back tomorrow as agreed should be good to meet you there!.. otherwise I'll instead be heading up as a 172 passenger :cry:

    197 projector headlights...

    Awesome, thank you all for your help, will go ahead and give it a go, they definitely give the front end a much meaner and more modern look :smile:

    197 projector headlights...

    Thanks for reply, I do like the look of the projectors, and these would be at a good price, what I'm really wondering is if all other functions of the light would work exactly as they should and the only downfall be having bulbs in there that are serving no purpose? If so, I could live with that

    197 projector headlights...

    Hi, have searched and looked through how to forums so apologies in advance if this has been covered somewhere.. I want to change my headlights and have sourced some OEM projector headlights, however before I do this just wanted to check that this will be a straight forward switch over. As I...

    A few pics of my 'murdered out' 197..

    Haha a few mixed feelings on the bullets and badges.. I'm in three minds st the moment, standard carbon black.. waiting for the exhaust (scorpion inward rolled) to be fitted that'll add a bit of visible stainless to the rear so I'll see how it looks and decide from there if it's matchy matchy as...

    A few pics of my 'murdered out' 197..

    I agree, just can't decide if a cup or sprint spoiler would look better, I'm leaning towards a cup spoiler, they all just seem so bloody expensive for what they are!

    C L I O badge gone... Minor difference, but I think it improves the back end :smile:

    A few pics of my 'murdered out' 197..

    I hear you, I'd like to see how it looks first, I do like the idea of darker badges but then like you say might lose the contrast it gives, especially when the stainless exhaust is on show will look more matchy matchy.. Very tempted to lose the CLIO badge though regardless

    A few pics of my 'murdered out' 197..

    I know what you mean, it's a colour you know isn't going to last 5 mins clean, but looks awesome whilst it is (so have to get as many pics as you can in that 5 min period:tearsofjoy:) I use Maguiars Carnauba Plus paste wax as top coat, always got on well with it had only just started raining...

    A few pics of my 'murdered out' 197..

    Yeah I'm not too keen on the smoked light look either but the other bits are all sat on the to do list haha I think the idea of a meg engine as nice as it'd be is a long journey down the road, id struggle to get authority from the boss, obviously an exhaust system was needed though so that's on...

    What are you thinking? ..my thoughts were carbon style Renault badge covers and boot debadge, would eventually like projectors too!

    Tbh I know black is a bitch for it, and always a struggle but I used a maguiars paint cleaner followed by poorboys black hole glaze and it came up really nicely, there'll be some im sure in different sunlight but minimal!

    Just spent some time on the 197 and gave her a first clean, started with a snow foam, 2 bucket wash, clay bar, machine polish and glaze, and now were just about there! Few little bits to sort but pretty happy with how it's looking After a snow foam- autobrite magifoam
