Hoping you lot are easier on newbs unlike other 206 sites!
So i bought myself a 2001 1.1 moonstone blue 206 and want to mod it up as a project.
Firstly i want to ask for help fining a front and rear sports bumper and grill used/recovered or new that doesnt break the bank? Any decent sites for that kind if thing?
Secondly ive heard of 206/VTR converstions And wanted to know if
It is possible?
Thanks in advance

eBay is honestly your best friend for parts like that.
Engine swaps are expensive.
Welcome.

VTR conversion is pretty simple provided things match up before hand and you buy the right VTR engine

Cheers for the welcomes and advice.
Got a 206 1.1 lx 01. Light moonstone blue, already sanded primed and spray the side rub strips gloss black rather than the plastic feel it has.
Removed rear badging and b strips, hunting local scrappys for sports bumper and aport grille.
Have some dezents 17" anthracite wheels need a bit work and some 20mm spacers before they can go on.
Cleaning it up basically but eventually i want atleast a 1.6 egine in it, any idea?
Photos soon

If you want a 1.6, don't bother spending the money on bumpers to fit to a 1.1. Just put what you save towards buying a 1.6 and then start modifying from there.

This would be a really cool project I reckon (owning a 1.1 look myself haha)
Make sure to post a project thread when you get buying parts!

Like ive said, i do not want to simply buy s vts stick s induction kit on and walla! im done, i LOVE 206s and the way the look and want the fun of making it my own, howevere i do love the simplicity yet power of a vtr/s.
Would a 2.0 vts work?
Btw im aware this is alot of work but im not worried by that, cheers
