BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 20:26:38 Well, as some of you are aware, my other half ordered her R27, after much convincing from me and boy was she pleased !!!
A big big thank you to Steve@wests again for all the hard work and allowing me to nag him again for a few months, chasing up when its going to arrive !!!
Ill give you a break for a few years now Steve.
Its got all the options on it as well as the front splitter and rear spoiler.
Here's a few pics

Tiger 21-10-2007, 20:31:03 Looks nice, much prefer the Red. Nice one, bet she is well pleased.
Tiger
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 20:32:11 Her face was a picture when it was un covered. I couldn't take a picture though as i was helping Steve un cover it !!
She's been like a cheshire cat ever since.
Jon Seal 21-10-2007, 20:37:10 nice pressie to get back to :D She's nicked your old spoiler dave!
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 20:38:21 Ha lol, just had it repainted :)
I was looking forward to getting home the whole Holiday for it.
denty 21-10-2007, 20:43:00 very nice bet u both well happy :D
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 20:51:24 Oh yes. Shes trying to race me already :)
miltage2 21-10-2007, 21:07:07 beautiful collection! Enjoy!
Manning 21-10-2007, 21:07:47 Im loving the R27 more every time i see them!!
Looks awesome dude!!
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 21:14:50 I have got to say, after having both. The R27 is a beast. The exhaust note is fantastic.
Revon 21-10-2007, 21:26:15 I have got to say, after having both. The R27 is a beast. The exhaust note is fantastic.
Two fantastic cars there. Both look great. Exhaust note in 197 does sound great and only gets better the more miles you put on :)
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 21:29:44 Clocking it up slowly. Nearly hit a hundred miles !!! lol
Matty 21-10-2007, 21:34:17 Love Ultra Red mate looks spot on, like the spliter it looks mean
DCP888 21-10-2007, 21:39:37 Welcome back Dave & Michelle, hope you had a great time, looks the nuts Chelle,
:biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 21:40:44 I love the red. We had much debate over Yellow or Red and i gave in. Red it was. No regrets !!
The cars look great together. I'm not a fan of the splitter but the R27 is otherwise a cracking looker and a great drive. Make sure it stays that clean!
BlackRat250 21-10-2007, 21:49:32 Lol, shes looking at me to keep it clean for her.
caymanR26 21-10-2007, 23:29:33 really really nice - very impressed - first R27 ive seen with the extra bits - looks really good imo. Are you gonna get the side skirts too?
FunkyMunky 22-10-2007, 08:34:14 looking good.... i need to see the spoiler and splitter combo in person now though!
hope your holiday / honeymoon was good too :)
andy bassett 22-10-2007, 08:34:37 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cactusbob 22-10-2007, 09:21:47 Looks lovely Dave, has she started hiding her keys from you yet?
SaintDP 22-10-2007, 09:35:23 Looking good mate. Same as mine.
Still need to see that spoiler in the flesh before I think about one.
meggerman 22-10-2007, 10:22:11 red R26 looks really tasty m8 best looking car ive seen in ages
nice one, bet it handles great
sh33n 22-10-2007, 10:22:20 Sweet looking car, red looks so vivid in those pics!
DutchRS 22-10-2007, 10:29:08 Really nice car. Good call on not getting the skirts too. It would have been overkill.
shinyautos.com 22-10-2007, 11:43:11 how clean is sheeeee!!!!!
well done michelle!
lovely motor!!
and dave! - thats ma boy! :D
Jimbo 22-10-2007, 12:46:25 guys you really have to see it in the flesh, it looks even better than the pics!! lovely looking motor, the car is perfection :)
i want one!! haha
Danny 22-10-2007, 15:38:19 looks luvly dave also like the front splitter and rear spoiler :)
Matmaxedout 22-10-2007, 19:44:39 looks very nice michelle, glad he got you a nice wedding present :biggthumpup:
Thomas 22-10-2007, 21:49:27 Absolutely the right choice on the spoiler and splitter Dave. They complete it.
steve@wests 22-10-2007, 23:38:02 that r27 has to be seen.its one of the nicest looking cars that i have had the pleasure of handing over to its new owner that i can think of.make sure you get a look at the next meet.(dont get too close,or michelle might just bite your leg off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
steve
scruffty 23-10-2007, 08:28:30 nice!!!!!!
That is truly gorgeous...got me thinking again now. I think the order book closes in about a week though.
Matty 24-10-2007, 12:08:09 That is truly gorgeous...got me thinking again now. I think the order book closes in about a week though.
Too late the order book has been closed on the R27 all have sold now acording to RUK
FunkyMunky 24-10-2007, 13:13:35 Too late the order book has been closed on the R27 all have sold now acording to RUK
i still reckon there's a few in the system which dealers will be knocking out in the next few weeks... might be wrong though.
i do know the guy i bought my Trophy from has got 3 ordered which he'll be looking to sell when they arrive... think there's a chance to still change the specs on them although not entirely sure
there's a guy on cliosport trying to sell a LY R27 with no options for £17k... good luck to him at that price!
Matty 24-10-2007, 13:17:36 there's a guy on cliosport trying to sell a LY R27 with no options for £17k... good luck to him at that price!
17K Jesus :bonkers: Is he trying my trick of selling a car for more than he paid
FunkyMunky 24-10-2007, 13:26:45 17K Jesus :bonkers: Is he trying my trick of selling a car for more than he paid
lol... you must be one of the few who has truly benefited from BMNC then ;)
Matty 24-10-2007, 13:29:31 Yeah i think i was, first and last time that will ever happen to me
chris g 24-10-2007, 14:15:44 lovely r27 there. got all the mods on it i see. looks well smart. :yes::yes: :yes:
ClaneO 25-10-2007, 09:57:18 looks great :) would need to see how the splitter and spoiler looks in person though as i love the R27 without the kit!
BlackRat250 25-10-2007, 17:45:04 Thanks for all the comments guys.
After a few days of driving her (Ive had the keys !!!) It is a fantastic car. The handling, noise and looks are incredible.
Not going for the side skirts, not a big fan. Its bloody wide enough !!
Im getting more looks in that than my yellow one. It really does have to be seen in person. The spoiler is a wicked touch. The detail in it is fantastic. Ill post some pics up.
Highly recommend getting an R27 !!
Jimbo 25-10-2007, 18:04:43 glad ive ordered a LY R27 then!!
BlackRat250 25-10-2007, 18:05:07 copy cat
BlackRat250 25-10-2007, 18:07:00 A few more pics of the spoiler detail.
The first is the sides.
The second one is a pic from underneath the spoiler. The idea being when you open the boot, you look through the glass and see the logo. As detailed in the third pic

Thomas 25-10-2007, 18:29:13 What do the side skirts look like then?
I can't imagine them, as Dave said they are wide already.
BlackRat250 25-10-2007, 18:32:58 Ill get some pics

PinkRinse 25-10-2007, 18:38:59 Mmmm I remember seeing those on a 197 at Goodwood FoS last year and thought they were a bit ott! I liked the spoiler and front diffuser though :)
Thomas 25-10-2007, 19:51:08 Good call - don't look right! Maybe colour coded...hmm nah
Danny 25-10-2007, 19:58:26 i think the side skirts look pretty cool tbh :)
good choice dave & michelle
rg230r26 25-10-2007, 20:07:49 looks good dave i can not wait for mine.

Lol.... you trading your R26 then?! :shiny[1]:
mike_d225 02-11-2007, 12:52:10 Very nice Dave, really like it in the Red.
Can't wait to see it in the flesh.
BlackRat250 06-11-2007, 16:52:55 Andy and Jamie have seen it in the flesh. Think they like :)
mattieuk 06-11-2007, 17:20:16 That is one of the nicest R27 I've seen. Very nice indeed:)
BlackRat250 06-11-2007, 17:28:36 Cheers, its certainly getting a lot of looks.
Those R27's look mint especially in red.
V. nice :D
SiLLyMonKey 07-11-2007, 03:16:38 the R27 looks real sweet.
:go:
makes it all the more happening to see it side by side with a R26.
hoping it reaches our local shores over here soon.
