Like the car fella :happy2: Looks so much better with the speedlines.

Ive had my 197 for just over 3 weeks now and to be honest I did miss my GTI to start but after pressing the go pedal quite hard down a few twistys I soon changed my mind and I havent looked back since :grin: :grin: Ive been trying to buy some mods for it but I really cant think of anything I really want to do to it. I had to force myself to buy some spacers and its booked in to have its center box removed tomorrow other than that there aint anything I really want to do :confused: :confused: Where as with my GTI I could think of a list as long as my arm without even trying.

Ive  been trying to buy some mods for it but I really cant think of anything I really want to do to it. I had to force myself to buy some spacers and its booked in to have its center box removed tomorrow other than that there aint anything I really want to do :confused: :confused: Where as with my GTI I could think of a list as long as my arm without even trying.

with this in mind it would have made more sense for me to buy one of these than the fabia.  Instead ill throw cash at it to make it faster and go round bends better.  So all the money i saved over the clio are down the sh!tter.

i think if the clio had more straight line punch it would be immense.  the chassis is more than capable. another 20hp and more midrange oomp and it'd be almost unbeatable on track and the road

Very reasonable for a whopping 2bhp power increase! :signLOL:

 The akropovics are pricey but they sound amazing on the RS200.

I dont think the Akrapovic is anywhere near £1k worth. It doesnt sound any different from my car with the center box removed which cost me £40.  :happy2:

When i took these vids it was still winter. So it was windy and cold.  :grin:

nice deako, i saw that before but it does sound good would like to hear it in the flesh before you get rid :happy2:

thanks for the positive comments guys  :smiley:

 yes james the insurance was fine i got it a bit cheaper by moving to sky from greenlight and the excess was less but it was a bit more than the golf but that because its brand new i guess. just under 700 rather than 550 or something on the golf.. plus i think theres been a small increase lately :happy2:

Mine is getting removed on Sat, was meant to be done today but they couldnt fit me in grrr!!!

Im just hoping its not to loud for some reason all I can imagine is a old Nova with a cherry bomb sound in my head even though it does sound sweet in the vids. But hey for £50 im willing to give it a go.
