Grabbed breakfast at Goodwood this morning, spotted a couple 197s and managed to get this quick pic.

Hi Guys, As a hobby I run a blog and a youtube channel. A friend ( johnhardingfilms.com ), and I are looking for an interesting car to make a new video, wether thats a modified Clio/Megane or other marque. So If you live relatively close, kent/london/essex way and fancy a short interview about...

Been advised that I will need discs and pads all round shortly, how much should i be looking at paying? Would buy and fit myself but just haven't got much time at the moment.

Hi guys, wheels just been refurbed so getting locking nuts, the normal bolts have a spinning washer-like piece on, do the lockers have to be the same? Im looking at these... http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-accessories/locking-wheel-nuts/ripspeed-locking-wheel-nuts-bc1181 They are m14x1.5...

Good news... quoted, can't remember now to the exact pound but something like 239. Going to get brakes done at the same time as mine have the usual sticking and just don't have time to do myself.

Cheers for the quick reply Yiannis, first service so just unsure. Car looks ace btw.

Just getting a quite from Two Techs for a major service on my 197, including sparks etc... but not belts or 'box oil. I really rate their service so prepared to pay a bit more than normal but What should I expect? Most estimations I can find on here are a year or two old.

silver on would be me, the white cup with black rims looked the absolute bees knees!

What makes it better than a 182? always thought for fun they would be better tbh

Could someone point me in the right direction for a guide on removing sills? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, just want to remove the 'skirt' piece if that makes sense as it appears to be full of mud (y).

Little video Ive created, only the second one I've done so let me know what you think. < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p99kPB8irM >

Only used them once myself but would definitely not go elsewhere now, excellent service

Lovely car mate! How much did you pay for the callipers painted if you don't mind me asking? Im getting crazy quotes for mine

Cheers, yeh figured for the price people want I can get them new at 600 quid.

Sorry posted loads of questions on this lately. Decided to take the plunge and buy new alloys, does anyone know where sell them other than renault parts direct, or renault themselves? also, are the cup speedlines the exact same fitment as my standard 197 rims? cheers in advance

Crazy, 3 LaFerraris, 918, P1. Also, Hi to the yellow r27 clio parked in front of me in the normal car park! haha http://www.thecarnoisseur.com/#!The-spectacle-that-is-the-supercar-car-park-at-the-Festival-of-Speed/cmbz/558da4530cf2bba69538671a

Hi guys, Just launched my new blog at << www.thecarnoisseur.com >> will be posting lots of new, mainly video content soon. First entry, vid of a new event called Classics and Cake, unfortunately was a bit impromptu and was shot on a GoPro, but anyway have a look...

Definatley agree with this. I think the fiesta might be better in daily use, the 197 could do with some more torque lower in the rev range, don't know about the 200s though.

Is it just me or is the new fiesta st overrated? on paper the 197/200 is as quick in terms of 0-60s and top speeds and I can't imagine the fiestas chassis being any better than the clio either and yet the 197 debuted a good 7 years prior to the fiesta. Basically I can't imagine the fiesta being...

Basically, clayed the car the other day and the paint felt silky smooth. Then waxed with two coats of meguiars liquid wax (not great but all i had). Then the next day the paint is covered in little rough feeling bumps, I'm assuming some sort of pollen but it won't wash off and I've only just...
