mate had his done around by me and they charged £35 a wheel to respray his in white, had to pay an extra £5 a wheel for tyre removal/refit and balancing. Depends where you go - I've paid £70 a wheel in the past

sold it.

after owning a 197 f1 for a while and now moved on, I'd have to say the mpg of the 197 is appalling for what it is. fun little cars but driving them at high revs to really enjoy the car will also make your wallet very sad indeed. And yes, the gearbox is sh*t. Decent cars bang for buck and should...

think it needs a few renaultsport stickers on the doors and each spoke on the alloys. would really make it pop then..

ah i see it now. Tried wiggling the cable abit. Error didn't disappear off the dash sadly :/ Either way it probably was those 2 little s**ts. I'll send my sister the bill when it gets sorted ^^ thanks chaps

theres connections under the seat? :S

Just had my 'check airbag' warning light pop up on the dash for no apparent reason other than I gave my niece and nephew and sister a lift home earlier. The kids are 3 and 7 and were messing around abit in the back, when I dropped them off I noticed the check airbag thing had popped up and now...

oh dear... you may want to tell the guy on pistonheads advertising his LY 197 for 7k then :s What does a normal 197 go for then p/x? i thought i'd be worth a tiny bit more seeing as its the F1 and all

how much should I expect p/x? Please try not to flame me too much for another 'how much is it worth': Looking to trade in the 197 toward the 'teg, just so I don't get taken for a ride how much should I be content with for p/x. I know its a case of how long is a piece of string - looking for a...

clio 197 f1 in liquid yellow with cup spoiler and gloss black wheels.... I'd sell you mine if you like xD

yeah im curious about this... I've just done a little searching and none of the comparison websites seem to have the DC5 in their database :/ Only the DC2 shows up. I'm guessing places like Adrian Flux will cover it though I'd still like to know what everyone uses for their imported car...

indeed :) quite surprised actually. Thought there would be less love for the honda on a reno forum! Well get to take a quick spin in a 'teg tomorrow. Lets hope it doesn't get too under my skin as ive got atleast 12 weeks to wait until mine arrives in the country :<

I'm guessing between respectable and terribad. Suppose they could reach 30ish mpg sensible driving and much much worse if you plan on red lining everywhere.

god-damn that is absolutely stunning! never thought of them alloys on the dc5, they look perfect

as title may suggest: I'm at a bit of a crossroads in terms of my car. I've got the chance to snap up a pretty mint 02 plate DC5 in championship white with 64k on the clock with optional C pack. I had my heart set on a 'teg before I saw my current LY 197 f1 come up for sale (also someone...
