if you find somewhere that does the centre caps drop me a link as iv been trying for ages the newer ones are different sizes
#77: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 4:51 pm ---- Are these any good to you my man
On the one original centre cap I had with these wheels, the code on the back is M582
#78: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Goldin, Location: Pula , CroatiaPosted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 7:18 am ---- Wheels look great, and the color is perfect
#79: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 1:50 pm ---- Thank you Mr Goldin Team OZ
I really need to get the suspension balanced out because it is a bit of a rake at the moment. Eibach B12 kit is £585 and the H&R Cup Suspension Kit is £388, both on Europerformance. That's £200 difference on the same parts, they both have shortened shocks, and if the spring rates and built quality is similar then it's an easy decision. But I can't find many 206's with H&R kit to find feedback

With regards to h&r springs, I'm sure Uz is currently running them on his 180 iirc?

i had the h&r cupsport dampers on the 180 but with eibach sportline springs and the handling was bang on really happy with them but just wasnt low enough on the front to pull off the look i was going for hence i bought coilovers. my missus is over the moon though as the h&r's are now gonna get put on her 206
#82: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:07 pm ---- Convenient that my #1 thread follower has the advice on H&R! Will get saving for that next then
Edit: Cheers Dan, I think Uz has the Eibach Pro-kit
#83: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Fri May 31, 2013 1:23 pm ---- Not really an exciting update, but the OZ's came off the car because they needed re powdercoating. The paint on all the spokes had cracked and this was due to the alloys being old (about 10 years) and the metal going porous, they needed a special sealant primer. To city powdercoaters credit, they redid them for free.
Since coming back, they look even better than they first did. I am contemplating having the Nimrod's refurbished and sell them if a good offer comes in to make it worth my while, if not I will keep them as winter wheels
Car is currently in the body shop having some GTi front wings painted and fitted and the roof smoothed (I hate the radio anyway, full of s**t music and adverts). Is it just me that has paintwork bubbling inside the edge of the boot? I'm having that done as well.
Asked them to take my red strips out of the bumper while it's off, everyone is doing red now I need something unique but subtle
#84: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Wed Jun 12, 2013 1:40 pm ---- Went to see how my car was getting on today, it's very nearly finished. They did a great job of straightening out the banged up GTi wings and painting (they were orange), the roof had a plate welded underneath and fibreglassed the hole. Very impressed and can't wait to get it back. Weird seeing my car with no front end!
PS before anyone moans, I have no use for an anologue radio aerial.
#85: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:55 am ---- coming along nicely there andrew. How did the gti wings get banged up?
#86: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:36 am ---- Cheers Iain
The bodyshop said there were a few dents and the lip on the arches were bent, I have no idea but I'm really happy I get to fetch it later

Fair enough! Will look good! Ready for the forth coming car shows!
#88: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:34 am ---- They were very good for V reg wings I'm not knocking them! And the arch liners are hard to find
I already have my idea for the June competition, and going to Pugfest and FCS
#89: Re: Andrew's Obsidien Black 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:48 pm ---- Got it back today looks amazing
When I visited this morning the guy who did the paintwork this time was flatting and machine polishing the panels, and I like how they fitted the wings to ensure there were no uneven gaps. So now there is no bubbling inside the boot, the roof is smooth and it has 13 year old wings on that are like new, so chuffed!
Next is to drop a spare set of wingmirrors and my roof strips to be colour coded, and then this years plans to have the aesthetics finished are complete

the older style superturismos look so much better than the newer ones!
