Good plans, what front brace you getting? Upper or lower?

upper strut, got them from here and they gave me a free set of hel brake lines too :smile:

yeah im always going up and down that road as i live near the golf corse.
my 197 is brown at the moment with the chav spoiler and speedline turnises on aha.
 
Black is a pretty common colour round these parts it seems! I spend a fair bit of time around rotherham too. I went to Old Hall/Winterhill school so have a few mates up there, and the In-Laws live in Kimi. There's a Black 200 in Kimberworth too.

Plans sound good. The Sprint spoiler is always full of win.
 
am from rawmarsh, but drive about rotherham all the time for my job and mine is looking more grey from dity at the moment, its really in need of a wash
 
another little upgrade due to my 3rd gear syncro and clutch slave bearing needing replacing, so i decided to get the following parts shoved in while the gearbox was coming off,

Clio 200 gearbox (new old stock)
ttv racing lightened fly wheel and clutch kit
Quiaffe helical LSD (was hoping to get an m factory lsd)
front camber adjusting bolts
all to be installed and setup by www.grinspeed.co.uk

just need to book it in once the parts turn up :smile:
