Thanks mate, on the honeycombe front grille there's 2 metal strips, 1 either side of the front plate, these can be removed and easily painted, certainly breaks up the black

Cant count the times that a job that should take 10 mins turns into a whole day affair, the worst of which was fitting coilovers, took us 10 hours and had to buy a new driveshaft. But electrical problems are up there with my most hated jobs.

Looks smart mate! Although i went off the idea of morettes in general i do think a clean black 206 pulls them off.

On the standard honeycomb grille there are two chrome strips along the bottom, these can be popped out and painted 
Didnt realise Matt had replied already haha

No, unless you have the sp alloy grille, honeycombe grilles are standard items

Looking good mate!
Morettes make the 206 look sooo much better and more aggressive.

Have made the decision not to continue with this project other than a few exterior cosmetics (bonnet, roof strips sprayed) as i've decided I want to save for an S3 8L
This is my 4th french car and think it's time to try something different and with alot more power as Clarkson would put it, I love this car to bits and will carry on enjoying driving her until the S3 is on the drive, you never know I may change my mind at a later date and finish the 180 but that's the way I am

You can't beat a bit of German power, the s3's a stunning little motor to drive. I always preferred my b6 a4 quattro more. The s3 doesn'thave the proper quattro system unlike the a4, it's still a grippy little f****r though

I've never driven any other car other than french so would be nice to see the difference although my mate is trying to convince to go for an S4 saloon
