Thank you Mr Goldin Team OZ
I really need to get the suspension balanced out because it is a bit of a rake at the moment. Eibach B12 kit is £585 and the H&R Cup Suspension Kit is £388, both on Europerformance. That's £200 difference on the same parts, they both have shortened shocks, and if the spring rates and built quality is similar then it's an easy decision. But I can't find many 206's with H&R kit to find feedback

Looks epic Andrew! I've always been a lover of OZ wheels just never took the plunge!
With regards to h&r springs, I'm sure Uz is currently running them on his 180 iirc?

i had the h&r cupsport dampers on the 180 but with eibach sportline springs and the handling was bang on really happy with them but just wasnt low enough on the front to pull off the look i was going for hence i bought coilovers. my missus is over the moon though as the h&r's are now gonna get put on her 206

Convenient that my #1 thread follower has the advice on H&R! Will get saving for that next then
Edit: Cheers Dan, I think Uz has the Eibach Pro-kit

Not really an exciting update, but the OZ's came off the car because they needed re powdercoating. The paint on all the spokes had cracked and this was due to the alloys being old (about 10 years) and the metal going porous, they needed a special sealant primer. To city powdercoaters credit, they redid them for free.
Since coming back, they look even better than they first did. I am contemplating having the Nimrod's refurbished and sell them if a good offer comes in to make it worth my while, if not I will keep them as winter wheels
Car is currently in the body shop having some GTi front wings painted and fitted and the roof smoothed (I hate the radio anyway, full of s**t music and adverts). Is it just me that has paintwork bubbling inside the edge of the boot? I'm having that done as well.
Asked them to take my red strips out of the bumper while it's off, everyone is doing red now I need something unique but subtle

Went to see how my car was getting on today, it's very nearly finished. They did a great job of straightening out the banged up GTi wings and painting (they were orange), the roof had a plate welded underneath and fibreglassed the hole. Very impressed and can't wait to get it back. Weird seeing my car with no front end!
PS before anyone moans, I have no use for an anologue radio aerial.

They were very good for V reg wings I'm not knocking them! And the arch liners are hard to find
I already have my idea for the June competition, and going to Pugfest and FCS
