#1: Low n slow euro project Author: Nathan_FTTM, Location: United KingdomPosted: Thu May 31, 2012 8:19 am ---- So I'm a new member to the site (hey) and just sorted myself a 1.1 2005 peugeot 206. Usually i'd be more inclined to buy dubs but when i saw this car goin pretty cheaply with little mileage i thought id try something different.
PLANS: I've plans for lowering the car on coilovers to start and maybe trying a more complex airbag system later on. Wheel wise im thinking maybe a set of calibre dubs with a stretched tyre n some spacers for a flush fitment. Arches will need rolled and so i may just put some wider rear arches on.
EXTERIOR: I like the paint colour n dont want to go too mad so im having the roof hopefully finished either in leather or black vinyl n maybe get an airbrush idea going. Deciding still on weather to go for the bad boy bonnet or to keep it simple with the more is less idea and also considering flushing the side bump strips.
INTERIOR: Im a fan of the 2 seater car idea with something clean in the rear so inside im hoping to get to recaro buckets finished in either black or cream leather. In the back id like to go with a false floor and a simple subwoofer set up either mounting them into the fake floor or in a custom box idea. door cards and dash trimmed in leather depending on money when i get to this point.
ANY FEEDBACK ON IDEAS, TIPS, ANYTHING POSSITIVE IS MORE THAN WELCOME. UPDATED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
PROGRESS 31/05/2012
Ok so insurance more or less cleaned me out so i spent what i had left on a new radio as the other one didnt work and a some good cleaning products to keep it clean. Hoping to get some new black mirriors and coilovers in the post this week or next.
So got the new radio in it was cheap on deal in agros n its perfect for what i want which is just something i can plug an mp3 player into. May change to a screen in the future
UPDATE : MY HYRDAULIC SUSPENSION KIT FOR THE CAR HAS BEEN ORDERED!! HOPEFULLY HAVE IT IN THE CAR SOON Last edited by Nathan_FTTM on Mon Jul 16, 2012 6:15 am; edited 1 time in total

Best of luck with the project though...should be interesting to see how it all pans out.

I knew I recognised those seats from somewhere
#7: Re: Low n slow euro project Author: JamieM, Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:00 am ---- Might aswell just get some 180 seats... alot cheaper, obviously no where near as good but you're looking at well over a grand for those seats second hand!

Height adjuster and slider handle is the giveaway...
#9: Re: Low n slow euro project Author: Nathan_FTTM, Location: United KingdomPosted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:29 pm ---- Yeah im no longer going for those seats (yeah the price put me off) i was looking at audi tt seats, but to be honest the seats wont be being bought until a long way down the line. why not calibres? any other wheel suggestions? want dish
#10: Re: Low n slow euro project Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 2:34 am ---- The wheels choice list is huge, but limited for a 206/ anything french, purely due to the fact, dish wheels have always been made for VAG cars...b******s.
But what sort of budget do you have to spend on wheels..? But I'd avoid Calibre like a plaque, it's along the lines of all the very cheaply made wheels within the world, such as BK Racing etc, but from what I've heard they are like a block of cheese.
#11: Re: Low n slow euro project Author: Nathan_FTTM, Location: United KingdomPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:42 pm ---- I have up to a grand to spend now I had more but I'm Gettin hydro suspension in at 2200 quid
#12: Re: Low n slow euro project Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 4:11 pm ---- I hope you mean 220 quid and not 2200 lol.
#13: Re: Low n slow euro project Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 1:38 am ---- I spent so much on my 206 when I had it. I gained hardly anything from it though ultimately. If it's your cup of tea, go for it, but I'd much rather put that towards a new car. You'd be able to sell that car and use the rest of the money to just buy an Audi TT if you wanted..
