Missus just picked up her new car, at least she stands a little more chance of keeping up now than she did in her old 1.1i 106!!!!
So my scoobs new brother/sister/partner is below, first mods completed within the 1st day of ownership

Before:


After:




Its a real nice car to drive and the interior is something else!!

Cheers,
Neil.

What the hell is that orange thing on the front???

ScoobyJawa

LOL - its a Rover 200 BRM, best out of the box 200 and most seem to think as good if not better than the MG's. Its a limited edition, only 795 built, and the grill supposedly harks back to the 1960's BRM race cars Its got a full leather interior and aluminium/chrome all over the place!!! Same 1.8 VVC engine as in the 200vi but with an LSD and Close Ratio gearbox along with completely revised suspension only found on this model. Good tuning potential that engine

Andy Mid.

I know which one I'd prefer

ScoobyJawa

LOL - cheers Andy - yep the car above is the reason the 200 has the orange grill

Unfortunately Andy we wouldn't get much shopping in that one lol!!!

PopeyeP1

Ok its heritage is from that race car but why stick an orange grill on the front of that Rover??? Soz but its laughable
Just looks like its been tangooed!!!

HKSubaru

so what mods did you do, spotted you put phiips clear vision silver bulbs on the indicators nd that's it, the orange thing at the front looks like a mouth

ScoobyJawa

HK - yep, clear side repeaters and cleared the indicators!

Its not a simple job you have to remove the bumper, take the lights off, prise them apart, remove the orange lense, mastik back together and fit back on the car with the silver vision bulbs!!!!! Mad!!! But it makes the car look much better/cleaner IMHO.....

The grill is a bit mad but you do get used to it just

Fast_Blue_Scooby

Colour code it mate!!!!!

P1Fanatic

Each to their own I suppose but to me that orange front is ghastly

p1 tud

orange, green and silver, sigh, wish my p1 was that colour! haha, why is there a picture of a rover on a scooby web page??? what a ghastly looking car.

p1 tud

no offence

PopeyeP1

Might get an Orange grill for my Sport. Look pukka.

ScoobyJawa

So sorry p1 tud, didn't realise posts weren't allowed in this forum unless it was a scoob Oh dear, the mods better get busy deleting a load of other threads too then...........

[Tongue firmly in cheek]
Just be happy and stick to your common blue colour lol!!
No offence
[/Tongue]

P1Fanatic, F_B_S - The orange does take a bit of geting used to but it sure makes the car stick out in yer face Its gonna stay as it is due to it being a limited edition and the ones I've seen coded or done silver look even worse

Shame is everyone thinks the same thing as soon as they see the front, but in actual fact they should look past that as the specs/equipment of the car are very, very good. As they are relatively unknown you can also pick them up for a good price Its a cracking hot hatchback to drive, not quite as good as my old GTi-6 but not as far off as you think!!! When your inside driving you don't see the outside! (except I will in my rear view mirror )
Same with a scoob - only its the interior thats hideous but you don't care when you're driving it.......

ScoobyJawa

PopeyeP1 -

Right, just off to start fitting some bright orange neons to it - finish it off a treat
