General update on the 197

[tiababy]

So I've not done much to my car as of late. Had it repaired after the car park incident, so that's good

Before


After



Got some pressed plates (that 4 months later I'm still waiting to fit as I have to drill out the rivets Renault bolt the plates on with)


Then it got absolutely filthy





Then birthday cake Clio!


And I got various car bits (i also cleaned it)



And I'm wrapping interior parts again. Currently it's all sprayed blue (barring the centre piece which is carbon fibre which is going into storage)
So far I've managed this, more to follow


Will add more photos as its done and put into the car :thumbup1:

Also I modded peugeot 206 mist jets to fit the 197 (massive improvement) and have diadem indicator bulbs after the original amber bulbs began to flake, no pictures of these although you can see the diadem bulbs in the above pictures.

Get those plates on! Lol

Repair work was done through an in laws contact (he sells classic cars) so it was really top notch.

I'm going to buy everytime I go round the parents for the drill I forget

Bless nice cake

Repair looks good - how's the paint match / blend?

Pressed plates look awesome - i'm tempted to get some myself now.

 

[tiababy]

It's really good. I don't even notice it now. I had the crack and scrape on the back bumper done at the same time and there is no discernible difference in the paint as you can see from the picture.

The plates are nice. I got mine from a market but the guy is online too and I know another 197 has the pressed plates on his car from the same guy (who is a mini fanatic btw)

I think enough people know how much I adore my car when my in laws make my cake based on it

haha i had a clio cake a few years ago with my mk2! youv really tempted me with the black badge covers, i really dont know what to do!

 

[tiababy]

I love the black badge covers. Suit albi (actually most colours) very well.
I'm just about to change these to something abit different now

Clio cakes are where it's at

Boot and Bonnet badges



So the interior is coming along now.



Going to be wrapping the Renaultsport steering wheel thing once the white label arrives to stick back on it.
A question does anyone know how to get the silver ring off from the steering wheel and also how do I get at the speedo/RPM/TPMS monitor surround in the dash (the silver surrounds) as I'd like to wrap those too
