#1: In with the new! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:26 pm ---- As some of you know, this is my second 206 and I love it! Got the car with the alloys and GTI arches. Added an HID kit, GTI suspension, sprayed front badge, smoked back lights, smoked back fog, smoked high level brake, smoked indicators, exhaust tip, 206info stickers and a few other stickers.
Looking to turn it into a GTI 180 replica.
More to come are - new alloys, GTI 180 front bumper with mesh, m3 mirrors, coilovers, tint the windows and thats it really.
Need some help with the alloys, should I have a go at refurbing my alloys and spraying them white? Or get white OZ racing alloys? Or black with a silver lip? Or GTI 180 alloys? Hmmm need some help.
So that was it when I got it really, got it home and changed a few things. Now a few photos after I gave it a good cleaning. I love seeing it shining but hate the fact that the person who owned it before didn't care about the paintwork so it's so annoying seeing all the wee marks and it really shows with black
So thats it to start with, all comments welcome, good or bad! Thanks

Rear bumper with exhaust trim
Front bumper
SP mesh (all three)
Sport Wings
Phase 2 boot strip
Crystal headlights
180 interior
Carbon interior trims
Leather Binnicle
180 Speedo
And other shizzle
Good start, but no m3 mirrors please

Sports front and rear bumpers, phase 2 bootstrip and some White OZ superleggeres will look smart on it (oh and drop it 40mm all round ) Last edited by dan_206 on Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:34 pm; edited 1 time in total

get some vortex/atlantis wheels (nom) maybe some genuine mudflaps, they dont look like the proper ones to me, i may be wrong though lol

Other than that it's your car, have some imagination
