Clio 197 @ 50mph + Deer = :-/

[Mike]

One smashed wing mirror, scratched passenger window and this collection of dents down the side:









£500 for the whole side to be resprayed, the big dent from the rock thrown at the car from a bridge back in January on the bonnet too - whole bonnet is being resprayed, AND all four wheels being done too - but got a week to decide whether to have them done white or black??!?!

F1 team stickers are being removed, and will be replaced with either white or black Renault Sport ones...depending on what colour wheels I go for!

 

[Roy]

black for me

 

[MikeLYR27]

mate, gutted for ya! White anyday!!

 

[clio200cup]

a second shout for black from me!! white wouldn't look right imo.

 

[tiababy]

black here too.
gutted for you, it could have been worse and it's repairable

 

[chappo]

we all know how good red and black looks

so its black from me as well.

 

[Arran]

I'd say black Mike. Sorry about the damage too, saw your status on fb.

 

[chaz cup 200]

gutted for you mate black all the way but

 

[197-F1]

Black

 

[BenW]

Very light damage from hitting a deer, definitely got off lightly. Hope you can get her repaired properly

I'd go for black, always looks better on red and easier to keep clean too. But, dark grey might be better because then the tyres don't look so grey/brown

 

[Mike]

I have been very very lucky with how little damage there was actually.

But I didn't really like the deers' ear being stuck in the gap between front panel and passenger door.

Yuk lol

 

[N0ddie]

I said white coz it would look the sex.

 

[Mike]

You see, I am thinking white, purely becuase Suki Saxo looked the nuts with white wheels, badges etc on her.

I was also thinking of doing the spoiler tips white

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

[neil]

i voted black because i think they look pretty good all the time, whereas with white they only look good when they're clean

 

[Graeme GTR]

did the deer survive?

 

[Mike]

I have no ideer, I mean, idea.

Purely because it bounced of my car onto the car I was overtaking.

I guess not :'(

 

[mark_1873]

Black for me, I loved the look of my old red 197

 

[Arran]

Oh deer, poor deer! Lol! White and black wheels both look good on red cars mate. A bloke i used to work with had a red Zetec S Fiesta with some big white oz wheels on and it looked the nuts. But then I saw an Astra VXR on the M6 the other day and it looked great. So tbh, I don't think you will make a bad choice. The only problem with white is that they get dirty quick.

We need these here:

I'm used to white wheels, as Suki was the first white on red I did:
