Well worth it. Get as many bits as you can together and get them done in one hit. Take plenty of pictures so you know what bolt is for what.

 

[Pav]

think i havent spent this much on bolts/nuts of any sorts like ever

 

[MarcB]

Well I have also managed to buy these and I collect them on Sunday morning.

Not bad for £70.

 

[MarcB]

So changed the headlights today.
Was not that bad a job if im being honest after knowing how to strip a 182 bumper and a megane mk2 bumper.

Anyway here is the pictures of the standard lights.





New here is a few pictures of the projector lights.








A couple of the car outside.

 

[SeanTheSheep]

Nice one. They look much better over the silver surround ones the black sits well along side the yellow.

 

[Gus]

Makes a hell of a difference. Looks so much more modern.

Get some pics up with the lights on .

 

[LOCKE]

Lights do make a difference mate. I'm loving everything you're doing with the car but I'm not sure the 200 wheels suit the 197. Maybe in the flesh I would change my mind. Cracking job so far!

 

[Cossers]

Potential to be the cleanest car on the forum here!well done bud

 

[Pav]

what a bargain mate...looks miles better..cant help it but projectors suit these cars much better..

 

[MarcB]

Looking for some decent H1 bulbs as I dont want to go down the HID route and I also have a headlight polishing kit (Autoglym) to do the headlights to bring them back up.

 

[Chris]

Fantastic upgrade!

 

[MarcB]

Right managed to get some H1 bulbs for the dipped beam.

Whats the bulbs that are FULL beam on these headlights ?

 

[MarcB]

Well they all arrived apart from 2 nuts and 2 bolts.
£281 later on nuts and bolts and the car is almost ready to be booked in to get all the work done.

As you can see I have printed off everything and highlighted it to show exactly what goes where.



Crank Oil Seal, May as well do this while the box is off and the clutch is being done.




Anti Roll Bar Link Nylon Nuts




New clutch bolts




New flywheel bolts - Part supersedes to 583




New damper bolts & nuts





Subframe bolts




Top Mount Bolts and top strut nut




Bottom arm and anti rotation nuts & bolts
(Missing item 8 which is on order)

[Pav]

[MarcB]

Took the front end off again today to clean some bits and bobs and change all the bulbs in the Projector headlights.

 

[Chris]
