#1: Juan's Project Thread - Updated Pg1 Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 1:48 am ---- Thought it was about time I started a project thread, I have already done a few mods, so to start off with, it will be more of a recap, but with 2 kiddies both under two and my wife only working part time I'm on a tight budget (isn't everyone!).
So I started off with a 1999 Peugeot 206 GLX a while ago, and but it was starting to show it's age.
I was thinking about getting another 206, and did, well my wife did, she bought me a 2006 Peugeot 206 Verve for my birthday
I got the moddifying bug, so I carried it on with my new 206. As you will see my mods are quite tame and should reflect the fact that this is an everyday car and a family car too.
This is how she looked when I got her.
First thing I did was to put on the 17" Wolfrace alloys from the silver 206 and the silver bonnet grille.
Then I fitted some Cobra seats.
I then managed to sell the silver 206 and that gave some cash to buy new lights
Fitted my new rear lights and some blue LED's for the interior (map, gloverbox and boot).
I finally got round to fitting my Angel Headlights after having them for a few months. I also added some SMD LED's for the side lights. Still haven't gotten round to fitting the headlight adjuster motors, yet.
Unfortunatly due to some potholes, 2 of my alloys had to be replaced. Managed to get them for £170 delivered.
Next thing to do was to fit a cone filter. I know that there are mixed opinions on these, but I like the sound and it has made a difference to how the car drives - so I'm really happy with it.
Still need to get a length of hose to direct some cold air from the front.
>> Added 11/10/2010 >>
Next came the stainless steel cat back exhaust with a 3" slash cut incurl tip from Longlife.co.uk. I'm very pleased with it, as i'm sure most of you have heard me boasting about it - for those that don't know, I didn't want a loud exhaust, so I went for mild sport.
>> Added 11/10/2010 >>
I then got some wind deflectors fitted, part debadged the rear and finally stuck on the 206info sticker.
>> Update 11/06/2011 >> How the car looks at the moment.
I have also removed the front bumper so that I can replace the lower grill and the drivers side arch liner (wrong one is fitted to the car)
>> Update 25/06/2011 >> Finally had some time to do some bits...
Chrome door handles.
>> Update 04/11/2011 >> Update - How things stand at the moment...
Well, due to financial difficulties the car has been off road (untaxed & un-insured) for nearly a year now. Since it wasn't looking like I was ever going to afford to have it back on the road, the wife convinced me to sell it. So I started taking it back to standard and managed to sell off a few bits.
Then a new plan formed - which means I get to keep my car! I'm pleased I get to keep it, but annoyed that I had already sold off some bits, which I'm having to buy again.
Plans:
- Replace broken inlet manifold [Part bought]
- Fit GTI coolant expansion bottle [Part bought]
- Fit top strut brace [Part bought]
- Look into problem with car reaching 70mph
- Fit rear interior chrome door handles [Parts bought]
- 16" wheels
- Reposition induction kit [Silicone hoses needed]
- Fit spoiler [Bought, spray painted]
- Fit SP arches [Bought, needs spraying]
- Buy SP bonnet and bumper grille
That's all I can think of for now. Last edited by juanfernandes on Fri Nov 04, 2011 4:37 am; edited 10 times in total

Cheers Danny. I still need to replace the dipped and main light bulbs so they too are white rather than yellow.

Unfortunately, it's not always that clean and being black, it's always dirty!

Thanks Rosh! I'm hoping to keep it - just need to find a job in Surrey and not in London!!

#26: Re: Juan's Project Thread - Updated Pg1 Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 8:16 am ---- Update:
I get to keep my car! Hooray. After 3 months of looking for a new job that was local (started current one 3 months ago), I have finally got something which I can drive to.
For those that don't know, I was made redundant, so I took the first job I was offered, which was in the city and it took me over an hour and a half each way on the train. Having 2 young children at home, I could carry on doing that journey and only seeing them mostly at the weekends.
Although, I won't be affording any major mods this year, I will be doing some smaller mods.
#27: Re: Juan's Project Thread - Updated Pg1 Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 4:26 am ---- Really eager to get back into this again and glad summer is just around the corner.
In no particular order, I shall be doing the following:
- Gloss black centre console
- Gloss black mud flaps
- Lower bumper grille
- Gloss black splitter
- Spoiler!
I have bought a spare centre console (this will be the first time I have ever done any spraying) and the mud flaps. And I already have the spoiler, just need to get it resprayed and fitted!

Most people on here will tell you to go for a panel filter anyway. But if you want it to sound louder, then you could sell the panel one.

Thanks Andrew.
I will be selling it as soon as I have finished taking it back to standard.
#37: Re: Juan's Project Thread - Updated Pg1 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sat Aug 27, 2011 5:13 am ---- I've always checked your project, EXL for the win
Did you sell the exhaust?

Cool - nice to know. EXL FTW!!
Nah I will most likely leave the exhaust - as a: I cant be arsed with changing it and b: the car is likely going to a friend, so i dont want her to have issues with the exhaust.
#39: Re: Juan's Project Thread - Updated Pg1 Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 6:34 am ---- Update: Its been a while since I have been on here.
The car is on its way back on the road after the crash. New bonnet fitted (and now locks).
Seat Leon Crupra R splitter attached to the front bumper, as well as a ZunSport grill and the bumper is now back on the car.
Waiting for new headlights to be delivered and then MOT time next Monday.
Emptied the car off all the parts I had in there.
Still need to fit the new rear bumper and replace/fix the tailgate, but for the MOT it will do.
#40: Re: Juan's Project Thread - Updated Pg1 Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 11:23 am ---- Update - 02/03/2013:
New headlights finally arrived and fitted. After having lot a major issue with carparts-tuning.co.uk [don't use them, save yourself] and finally got my money back, I ordered the lights from rtecshop.com
Mad dash this morning to get the pugs new headlights fitted, tidy up some bits in the engine bay. Couldn't find the dammed washer jets.
Quick trip to Peugeot and £12 later, new washer jets.
Still failed MOT - after 2 years of just sitting there and being crashed into by the neighbour, what caused the MOT fail...
the new headlights I fitted this morning - alignment was f****d. Wont have the car till monday now.
Still need to tidy up quite a few bits
- halos need to be wired in
- the badge part of the grill, not clipping in on the right hand side
- 3rd brake light needs to be wired in and fitted
- new piping for the windscreen washer jets
- new elbow and oil hose pipes
- reposition filter
- fit the new rear bumper
- fit new front arch liners - needed pls contact me if you have some

I do honestly prefer the standard alloys though, especially for when you lower it.
