I can see that a bonnet bra serves a perpus but they look crap IMO. Maybe on a black car you could get away with it, but it stands out for the wrong reasons on ligth coloured cars.

Big big update for everyone.
After this wknd with the 206 developing another fault, even though it was only the crankshaft sensor I have decided to call the project a day and sell the 206 once i've enough funds to buy my next car.
To summarise what has been to the car, here is a list of mods etc
colour coded rubstrips
sp arches
sp alloy front bumper grille
carbon wrapped front badge
masked headlights (sprayed bmw metallic grey)
masked foglights (sprayed bmw metallic grey)
180 wheels with falken tyres sprayed bmw metallic grey
black led rear lights
black side repeaters
black led hi-level brakelight
black led starburst rear foglight
laguna front splitter
sp fuel cap sprayed bmw metallic grey
debadged all round
rear wiper removed
front calipers painted red
vmaxx coilover suspension
k&n typhoon induction kit
gti 180 rear/front seats
custom colour coded centre console
colour coded interior panels
smoothed/painted glovebox lid
alcantara trimmed dash display cover
Gti 180 Janspeed exhaust system made to fit
If anyone is looking for a nice 206 gti in the next couple of months, keep an eye open in the sale section, but sorry to say you won't be rid of me when I have my new car

Seems a logical step mate. You cant go any further without going over the top with this now. Happy saving and look forward to seeing the Type R!

I know mate, if it wasn't for this fault i was going to be taking the car to Ace wraps to get the roof carbon wrapped.
Ideally want a type r, dc2's and ek9's are quite expensive and maybe out of my price range so may even get an accord type r but will have to wait and see

Just keep saving and see what comes about. Im no longer selling my 180 as i dont need to commute as far for work so ive just treated her to some new toyos and aslong as the mot doesnt bite me i will keep it for another year.

love this car, if i wasn't scared about it having another problem would make you an offer
i think you should put back to standard and trade it in for a car you want, or sell it standard there's 300-600 £ in in the wheels and seats alone.
your get more selling extras of the car than leaving them on

I know how you feel mate, don't think anything else can go wrong with it, it's just down to age, that sensor i had replaced had been on since factory in 1999 so reckon it's lasted well lol
I want to sell it as it is so i'm not spending money on getting new interior etc

If you are serious about saving money for a new car, this is the daftest thing you could do.
