#3: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:03 pm ---- looks realy smart how low is it on the rear
#4: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:05 pm ---- Looks very nice but its a little low at the back for me!
#5: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:10 pm ---- Very nice 180 dan!
#6: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:12 pm ---- Oh dear. Appear to be have lowered by somebody that a) doesn't know how to lower them properly or b) doesn't know how to make a car handle properly.
It might attract attention but you might as well remove the torsion bars as it won't be using them to provide the springing - it will be the bumpstops. That back axle will be knackered in no time. All the load from bumps that should be getting absorbed by the torsion bars will be getting absorbed the bumpstops and axle bearings instead.
It's rear end down too meaning more air goes underneath creating lift meaning less grip and stability at speed. The rough underside it exposed to the airflow too meaning it will be slower as well. Last edited by Edward on Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:14 pm; edited 1 time in total
#7: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Mike, Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:14 pm ---- Looks nice but surely that's ruined the great handing of the 180 by going that low?
Also had any problems with the numberplate?
Clear indicators, de-wiper and Aero wipers would finish it off great!
#8: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:16 pm ---- Raise the back or lower the rear
Looks so silly in my opinion with out a stance

#10: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: awirnok, Location: LithuaniaPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:17 pm ---- I think that Peuegot logo in the front does'not deface visual picture. Why it is excluded?
#11: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:18 pm ---- It's lowered 60mm at the back and in my opinion it looks a lot better than my mates White 206 hdi that was brought off a staff member off here that is lowered 40mm. You've got to realise that it's on my drive which is on a hill and is resting on the handbrake which is making it look alot lower than it actually is, I do understand your logic though and it does make sense
#12: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:21 pm ---- Tinted plates lmao love them ties nicely with the dark wheels

#14: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Jammo, Location: BrightonPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:21 pm ---- Whatever anybody says mate. Its stunning.
#15: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:21 pm ---- Ok so the back pops up 20mm when the handbrake is off...still far too low.
#16: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:21 pm ---- That my friend is easy 100mm + even on a hill
#17: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:21 pm ---- Tinted plates lmao love them ties nicely with the dark wheels and that big badge on the front was hideous and had to go lol
#18: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:26 pm ---- Jammo: cheers mate
Edward: it's too low IN YOUR OPPINION lol but thanks for your opinion
And no iv never had issues with the plates, a traffic cop told ne to take them off once when the car was parked up at a show but thats it

Well considering the long list of reasons for it being too low there's a pretty strong case for it actually being too low. It doesn't look good either.
I'm sure cruising round McDonalds car park will do it no harm though.
#20: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:32 pm ---- the black badge looks good, and the bonnet looks good.. can't say I like anything else.
If you're going to make a car that low, buy one that handles like s**t in the first place, dont ruin the character of a good car.
#21: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:35 pm ---- In your oppinion it's too low but then you may think my oppinion of buying a 180 and making it look good rather than buying a 138 and wasting money making it fast "like a 180" and wasting money making it look "like a 180" is wrong but then again there's so many reasons why that doesn't make sense lmao
#22: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: apjs87, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:36 pm ---- As said, too low for my liking. Raise it slightly to make sure your axle lasts a bit longer
#23: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:37 pm ---- But you've wasted your money by spending more and effectively slowing down a 180?
I'm not talking about looks, but if I was, then you've made a 180 look like an xsi, which in my opinion is worse than a 180 lookalike Last edited by |SGP| on Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:42 pm; edited 1 time in total
#24: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:40 pm ---- i think it looks good and i hope my dont go to low now... but then again im over performance and just going for looks now if i want a faster car i will buy one so stand ya ground mate if u like it that low fair play
#25: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:43 pm ---- Very very nice that
#26: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:44 pm ---- If it was all about speed I wouldve kept my 341bhp corsa turbo apart from which I really can't see lowering my car is going to make that much difference to the performance of a 180bhp 206 lol
#27: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:46 pm ---- Well, Edward already told you how it would.
Have fun and think of us when your back end squirrels and you slide off the road, or you get overtaken by a stock 180 because of your uplift.
#28: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:47 pm ---- Quote of the day! My car looks like an xsi when the most intresting photo people can take of there car is snow on the rear window lol think I'm a little more intrested in my xsi lmao
#29: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:49 pm ---- Look seriously SGP/Edward sod off and go rape some other site
Its nice looking, he probaly knows the problems with having that low but whats with the attitude? Are you five? No
Grow up and admire others work
#30: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:50 pm ---- very very nice car you got,very shiny,and very clean,like the lowered look
#31: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:53 pm ---- Rear axel meet speed bump, BRAKE! hope you got the cash for repairs, I've heard of low & slow and I not a fan maintain functionality until you can afford air ride

ok mate! thats definately my most sucessful picture isnt it! when you make the front page too, you can critique my photos!
Anyway, It hardly ever snows down here in cornwall, so when it does, it's pretty nice to get a pic of it! I'll replace them for you
Addaz sorry for not kissing everyones ass on thier taste, but I just don't like it. I just think its stupid to make a car worse, everything else looks alright, I love the debadged look, and I really like what he did with the 180 badge. I just don't get the whole 'I've ruined my car by practically removing the suspension' thing.
and everytime you see a lowered 206 like this.. it's usually an xsi.. so thats what springs to mind.
Sorry, I don't mean to be a d**k, I just don't get it.
The more I look at the rest of the car the more I like it, just not the rear end.
#35: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:01 pm ---- I lived in Oldbury - and this 180 looks totally in keeping with an area so close to Birmingham city centre, where there's a 30mph speed limit, few speed bumps, and cameras on every corner.
Adz's white HDi was Lodey's old car, there are a few threads on here about it
#36: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:03 pm ---- Can you post a link to ad's car please mate

Now thats a better reply, i wish people would stop coming across like complete ar*eholes, yes state you opinion but in a nice way
I like debadging to but it is a 180 at the end of the day, make it proud and keep the badge (plus it matches the wheels so its a win for me). Yes lowering a 180 like that is a bit silly as they are the fastest model available, do it to a 1.1/1.4 yes but 180 why?
But as the OP has stated he is looking for style, so fair play it looks nice (needs stance though)
Break the mold as VO5 says
#39: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: danjames, Location: oldbury westmidlandsPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:06 pm ---- Wheels cost me £48 mate lol

#43: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: Resolutionary, Location: South West LondonPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:24 pm ---- I love the car as a whole, and the debadged front suits it no end. I'd love to have the balls to get plates like those but I probably wouldn't be posting on here much longer as the SW London police are hot on that sort of thing and I'd end up the boyfriend of a burly, hairy robber in pen somewhere.
And I think what people tend to mean is that there's a trend with lowered 206's of reverse rake, which is not only ultimately damaging to the handling but also looks a little butchered. Like others have said, try and find a way to level it out, either by lowering the front or raising the rear. It'll look 10x better and youll probably notice a difference in handling at speed too.
Apart from that, its friggin' lush.
#44: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:26 pm ---- Looks very clean mate I like it.
#45: Re: Pics of my 180 debadged and lowered Author: SAB206, Location: North WestPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:30 pm ---- I don't like the ride height at the back or the spacing of the GTI badge.
Everything else looks decent though
