Hi Guys and Girls,
Well ive had my 197 for four months now and have finally got the ball rolling with a few mods, nothing to major yet but i have some ideas that might progress.
Anyway i thought it would be rude not to let you guys know what ive been up to, so heres a little start to my progress thread.
Heres my car as i brought it..

A few weeks ago I wrapped my front diamond in carbon fibre just to see what it looked liked with the view to buying one from streamline carbon, but im rather pleased with the look at the front now so its stayed on. I also fitted a ITG panel filter.

A boot net to keep my balls safe.

The rusty screws in the spoiler caps were annoying me everytime i looked at them so i painted them black.

I then changed the steering wheel as my one was peeling and doing my head in, a friend of mine came up trumps with a brand new cup steering wheel FOC, so although it wasnt quite a 'full fat' one like mine, i just couldnt turn it down.

Now since i purchased the car, the wheels have not been in a great state so over the weekend i brought some from RalphyBMW and i had them fitted today. Very happy with the results!

The car is now looking how I want it, Just a few bits on my to do list;
Buy two more Anthracite centre caps.
Remove white renaultsport stickers on the side.
Remove 'CLIO' badge.
Fit some h&r lowering springs.
Get the centre surround painted or wrapped as its worn near the stop/start button.
After all this my car should look exactly how i want it but who knows after that, maybe look into power gains, although im happy with things how they are.
Thanks for looking and i look forward to your comments
