I got one!!

[Yiannis197]

So what happened here then? I thought you were only looking for a low mileage LY R27! So what happened in between and you ended up with a GW 197??? Not so picky after all

Great looking car mate, nice spec as well (could do with xenons though!!) these GW 197 FFs are really rare. Well done and enjoy!

Thanks for all your comments, hopefully will bring her along to some meets soon

I'm very happy! Now to take her for a blast......

Nice car

 

[townley]

glad you got 1 looks really nice good choice.

 

[Marv]

Looks stunning with black wheels.

Couldn't do me a favour? Take a photo of the decal in front of the rear wheels and measure the size of it. Been looking at them on eBay but don't know what one to order (want as close to OE as possible, just not the price tag).

No problem. How much are OE ones then??



From widest and highest points it's 15" x 7"

 

[Paddy_R]

Thanks. Can't remember the exact price of the a OE ones (though I have it somewhere) but I remember thinking that it was extortionate for what it was. They're cheap off eBay.

Even better, I have their number as they've done a few things for me before. I'll give them a shout.

Don't put those black stickers on it - they look gash!


every single 200/197 ive had ( 40 ) any of them that have had those stickers have been removed after 15 mins.

Also why are people saying white cup

Its a rare FF Glacier white with cup pack & juicy options.

Great spec- great car- needs cup splitter, skirts & spoiler. FIN

Lol I like my stickers but that's what car ownership is all about - differences! If we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place

I think people get confused sometimes because it has a 'cup pack'. I know she's full fat though

Yep spoiler ordered, and splitter and skirts will be saved for too I reckon!

 

[ken182]

I didn't realise you could get a 197 FF in white. I thought it was just on the cup on the 197s

that must be quite a rare spec car

 

[Roblynn1977]

133 ff 197 in white made in total

looks very nice and well looked after am sure you enjoy.

Has it had its belts done?

Mines cost me a fortune this month, tax, MOT, X2 conti 5's, gearbox replaced, (with that new clutch kit), steering rack ends, X2 top-mounts as one just stated to knock, so as its in bits thought get them both done. Thought that was it. Now it needs full pads and disks all round and some new brake lines.........

Then ill get it all tracked up.


Wallet, raped.

Thats proper wallet rape right there.

How much was the gearbox if you don't mind me asking? New gearbox or reconditioned?

 

[gaz]

Got a RSC one off the bay.............. Lads from Birchdown (RS Specialists) are good mates of mine, they've fitted a couple for customers with no issue, so bought one back in December, as 4th was starting to crunch. (I blame the akra, all was well till that was fitted.... damn those pesky pops and bangs near the limiter!)

I'm keeping the original to get that reconditioned, as i'll probably need it again further down the line
