Black 197 - Sheffield/Rotherham

[Liam2708]

Hi All,

After previously owning a 172 Cup, I made the decision to buy a 197. I've had it for just over 2 weeks now, and I'm enjoying it so far.
I plan on keeping the car as standard as possible, but have made a list of things I wanting to do:

Exterior:

Respray of silver door handles due to wear (Been quoted £50 for both from a reputable body shop, seems a decent price to me.)
Touch up of a 2 stone chips near the passenger side rear lights.
Small dent on bonnet to be pulled out.
Possible refurb of wheels in a darker colour (Anthracite etc).
A proper clean and polish.

Interior:

Steering wheel re-trim, peeling on one side.
Replacement of standard head unit (Done).
Steering wheel control adapter for head unit.

Mechanical:

Nothing planned, services up to date.

Welcome. Everyone says that don't plan on doing any mods! How do you compare it to the 172?

Thanks. I prefer it so far. I'd say it feels much more solid and planted to drive, only downside is that you can tell its a heavier car. I'm also enjoying having the full fat version with cruise control etc. :thumbup1:
