Hey,
I dont know if anyone remembers me from the old site, but I had begun modding my 206 from simple LX up to a nice sportier, but still OEM looking 206.
Now, before any of the 1.1 hate train pulls up, she's done me well, and although I'd like a bigger engine/more power, i enjoy her, so why not make her better (in my eyes)?
Anyway, she started life like this:

Then, with a lot of help from Guy (was a bit of a legend on the old site) she has begun her transformation!
Mods done so far -
Angel Headlights,
Numberplate and sidelight bulbs changed to quad LED bulbs,
colour coded center console,
clock upgraded from tiny one to single line mfd,
mfd fascia changed to eyc one, (thnx jamie1337)
new 17" Pug wheels (cant remember name of them, were off a 180gti),
colour coded fuel cap and sp grills (bonnet and upper)
12" fusion sub in boot,
T1 DVD touchscreen head unit,
silver bee sting aerial,
Metal inside door handles and hand brake from gti180.
On its way:
New air filter (induction cone)
PH2 rear lights,
SP Aluminium geat knob and leather gater (thnx jamie1337)
To Do:
Front sports bumper,
Sp grill (main),
rear sport bumper,
cc side strips, bumper strips and door handles
ph2 boot pull handle thing (what is that actually called?)
LOWERING!(not sure how low to go)
Front calliper painting,
Something with rear drums...
Small spoiler like the sports one (no wrc or 3rd party ones)
Exhaust,
New Front speakers (stock ones have had it)(too much dubstep;) )
possible interior swap???
Anyway, some pictures

These are the wheels before powder coat. They are the rare shadow chrome varients and are genuine pug. thing is they were so badly curbed I got them 'furbed. 300 quid got me the rims, new badges, powder coat, tires (like new when i got them). The shadow chrome ones also have a different bolt size according to peugeot (showed me a table to prove it) so i have the proper sized wheel bolts too. Only issue is they are more matt and gunmetal colour than shadow now :/

The clock hud and center console was given to me for free off an member from the old site, and the actual clock facia was bought off ebay, who happens to be a member on this forum who i bought the new gear knob and leather gaitor from! (Jamie1337)

New bulb vs old bulb daylight

New bulbs at night
Any one have any suggestions or input? main thing im stuck with is what to do with the rear drum, I'd love to get rid and replace with disks but i think that would be more hassle than its worth, so maybe just get a circle peice of metal to go behind wheel/infront of drum to hide them?

Does it look ok painted black? i really want to install disks on the back, i read somewhere its a case of fully removing the drum brake and simply installing the new system, using the old pipes, but surely it cant be that simple?
btw i love south wales by barry, have friends living in the caerphilly area so used to drive from birmingham to there every so often, fun drive!
