illoyd Posted 22, January 2011 Report Share Posted 22, January 2011 Hi all What a trick little car !! Just bought a red 197 done 5500K and after a test drive a couple of weeks earlier could not believe how it performed and handled. Having moved into semi retirement and needing to buy a car after 30 years of company cars, the 197 is the ducks nuts. Still got 2 years warranty to run so I am happy about that. I am considering painting the rear diffuser gloss black. Any suggestions or comments and has anyone else done this.

griffyn Posted 22, January 2011 Report Share Posted 22, January 2011 Howdy Hi! Congratulations on discovering what most on this forum have found out the exact same way. Would love to see how your diffuser turns out, the 200s have theirs gloss, and it looks ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 22, January 2011 Report Share Posted 22, January 2011 Hi and welcome aboard. You could: - have the diffuser painted (agree on the gloss black) - have it vinyl wrapped. A few places do this. Food for thought and keep enjoying. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 22, January 2011 Report Share Posted 22, January 2011 ...or carbon vinyl wrap! Personally, I like the matte finish on it oh, and welcome! Great to see more new blood, especially in Melbourne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 22, January 2011 Report Share Posted 22, January 2011 Welcome Ian! Glad you're enjoying the wee beastie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 22, January 2011 Report Share Posted 22, January 2011 Oh crap..forgot the matte option. Good reminder Dish. I'd probably go wrap as it's easier to change if you don't like the option. WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
