#1: Pete's 1.4glx Author: pete_206, Location: Ash, SurreyPosted: Sat Aug 21, 2010 5:12 am ---- As stated by the name, its nothing of any power. But I've had my car a couple of years now and been through bad and good patches with her as anyone does with any 206 Its changed its appearance more times and more drastically than Pete Burns... but I'm trying to run with the same theme now.
Basically, my main concern is to keep it looking like a 1.4glx. I don't want it to look like a gti... purely because its not a gti! So bodywork won't change drastically. The aim is to get it styled up nicely, and keep the colours basic apart from a few stand out bits here and there (i.e; callipers once I finally get round to it!)
Heres whats done so far:
Exterior:
Janspeed backbox
Added OEM style spoiler
Gmax suspension front and rear, lowered 30mm on front.
Refurbed 17" 205 width Dare RLS's (dis-continued in '06)
Painted Brake Callipers Blue
Lights:
Upgraded to valeo headlights
Crystal style rear lights
Crystal Third brake
Crystal side repeaters
Crystal rear fog
Interior:
Chrome door handles
(note: I'm scared of touching the interior because my first car got knicked and wrote off because of a nice interior!)
Heres the piccies:
Additions to car since original post:
Front Callipers Painted Blue (27/08/2010)
Added Sticker (29/08/2010)
Rear Drums Painted Black To Hide (29/08/2010)
Plans for future:
1. Lower torsion bars
2. Zunsport grilles
3. CC all round
4. De-badge and de-wiper
5. K&N induction kit maybe?? Last edited by pete_206 on Tue Aug 31, 2010 2:30 pm; edited 15 times in total

ah yeh forgot to mention that... I knew I'de miss a few bits. I want to CC it. Don't want to get sports bumpers... they look awesome on a 206 but I think it'd look too gti.
the idea of gloss black on exterior plastics is interesting... work with the black exterior instead of CC'ing. hmm. will have to consider it. The exterior may look abit too bland if its all silver.

I agree with GazRG, i mean you've got a point too, it makes sense, but tbh the rear non sport bumper is horrible, really horrible, the back does need tidying up imho, not saying to put sports bumpers on but just on the rear ONLY, as it smartens the back up a LOT, and also a colour coded phase 2 bootstrip!
#12: Re: Pete's 1.4glx Author: pete_206, Location: Ash, SurreyPosted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 7:16 pm ---- I Sold on the pug about 6 months ago, miss it but now have a Clio 182 which keeps me pleasantly entertained Thought I'd add these photos to show what she looked like when she moved on. I think the only thing that changed since then was the wheels and tyres which I got for an absolute steel off of a 206info member.. think it was Dave. They were absolute beauts. I also replaced a few mechanical parts that needed doing. Does anyone know if the new owner joined the forum?
#13: Re: Pete's 1.4glx Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Sat Dec 07, 2013 7:28 pm ---- "low and slow" but kept at the standard pug height? monster trucked, lol:)
#14: Re: Pete's 1.4glx Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 4:29 am ---- Dave had those wheels from me, I had them powdercoated like that to go on mine but didn't have space to keep them at the time, interesting to see how they have changed hands around the country! Regret selling them really
Looked good on both yours and Dave's

ha it was low until Uni happened... The car was lowered around 35mm all round, however when I first ran up to uni with a car full of stuff it was the most terrifying drive of my life. The arches were pretty much sitting on the wheels and it was a drive from Surrey to Carlisle, so the back got raised to standard and I kept the car low at the front (lower anyway.. 20mm), with the intention of lowering again as soon as was possible practically. After Uni I moved to Manchester where I picked up the rims and had every intention of buying a gti180 and swapping the wheels. However, I ended up moving back down South after the place I worked at shut down and I was looking at long term unemployment and either signing on or debts.. neither of which I was too keen on contemplating and either way I'd of had to move out of a flat I loved and sell the car. Therefore I went back to a previous agency employer in the South, ended up securing the permanent job I'm in now through them, and then went on the prowl for a gti. I drove a few and found a perfect one.. 50k, owned by a mechanic who had kept it completely pristine inside and out, and for sale at £2500. I was so excited, and was pretty much set to buy it... and then I stumbled across an ad for a Clio 182. I decided to give it a go, just really to give it a fair comparison. I had been completely non interested in Clio's... until the drive. The car just felt completely alive. I ended up haggling amongst the 206 and the Clio... ended up with an offer of 2100 on each and although my head was saying go for the 206, my heart was dead set on the Clio.
And after that extremely short response... here's a pic
