#1: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: harry206, Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2013 5:06 am ---- Ive recently brought a 206 after many years of my dad having one and wanting to drive it all them years but obviously being a young driver i would not be able to afford the insurance on something like his 2 litred engine. So i got myself a 1.1 for just over a grand. Ive been looking all over this forum and come across many different 206's and took a few ideas and want to put it towards making my car my own and something that will maybe turn heads in the college car park. I now have a bit of money to play with and have ordered a few things which i will list, please if anyone has any other ideas i would be very grateful.. This is my car from stock...
List of ideas/purchases..
[x] Only just purchased 16" Cades Ero's in Black/Polished Lip image below
[x] Badgeless Bootstrip
[x] Sony HeadUnit
[x] JBL amplifier
[x] Interior bits and bobs sparco seatbelt pads/Iphone holder etc
[ ] Lower car all round (new springs front and cousins lowering torsion bar for me) ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH I SHOULD LOWER? ON 14 INCH STEELS RUNNING 175/14/65 TYRES ATM BUT HAVE ORDERED 16" CADES ON 205/16/45 TYRES. WILL I NEED SPACERS? CHEERS
[ ] Eagle eye rear lights.. Red /Clear half and half...
[ ] Front GTI headlights (hopefully from local peugeot salvage)
[ ] Full round sound system, front/back/speakers not too keen on sub woofer..
Not too worried on performance as im not willing to speed everywhere and loose my licence in the first year as i will want to move on to nicer biger builds as it comes by. Thanksssss!:)

A 206 is one of the worse cars a young person could buy.

I've got my insurance in advance with non-standard alloys and lowered, paying just over 200 a month which is affordable right now, i said im not into performance right now, not touching the standard exhaust etc, just a few visual things and interior mods which wont touch my insurance, cheers

And to be honest mate all your planned mods seem to be a bit "2009"your better off buying OEM parts to make it look like a 180,
EG, sports bumpers, vortex alloys etc etc

Its the same for any car at that age, I was looking at £4k for my premium for most cars, and managed to get a 206 on a tracker for £1600

#10: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: RCally66, Location: ScotlandPosted: Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:05 pm ---- wow 2400... Im 17, just passed my test, 53 plate 1.1 Lx and im insured fully comp on my own policy with the car in my name (no little black box), with non standard alloys for £1700. Mate, you got ripped off big time.
Also I agree with chinabluegti that some of the mods are out of date, such as the seatbelt pads? Also, i doubt you'd need an amp on its own, unless your gonna have a massive sub or a dvd player in the boot?

Not actually. Insurance is a postcode lottery, can vary wildly depending on where the insured address is and other factors.
#12: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: P6RAF, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:32 pm ---- Best way to lower your insurance policy is to add older named drivers with no points or claims.

kind of not worried about them being out of date as i just want it lower, deep dished and looking clean, dads taking me tp scrappy tomorrow on a hunt for colour coding trims and gti body work!:) just want something that will stand out abit more than 14 inch steels and the chassis looking like its on stilts!:) and i guess your lucky! live on thw outskirts of a very built up area of which the town centre is like a nest for chavs, my insurance is bound to rip me off! and have a 12inch in the boot but not too keen on using it, might just get 4 6x9's or something to run it of them or run new rear seat speakers when they come

i added my mum and dad both with 15 years no claims and it came out mpre expensive when i tried? is that just sh** comparison sites?
#15: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: P6RAF, Location: PlymouthPosted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 4:16 am ---- Wow I'm very surprised. Maybe things have changed recently. I know of loads of people that have had cheaper premiums when they added another driver, usually older with more NCB's.
Did you try the clubs affiliated insurance company, Prestige? www.206info.co.uk/Foru...rance.html
I'm just glad I started driving over 20 years ago when things were'not so bad. I insured an imported Impreza WRX when I was 21 and it only cost £1,234 fully comp.
Sadly it's a sign of the times.

There also on boy racers insurance so that'll effect it greatly.

would pay the straight up if i had it but just couldnt afford it haha! and i had been looking at them, the 180 vortex alloys are 17"s though? wouldnt that mess it up abit as my standards are 14's?:) always liked the look of low and deep dish maybe not on a standard cheap 206 but im willing to give it a go, will lower it and get the wheels on, debadge it and go from there:) cheers man!
Nah mate 17's are fine, I had a set of Vortex alloys on my 1.4 lx years ago, and that was lowered and it looked much nicer,
Just dont "chav it up" OEM standard is the new modified!! I'll have to get a photo up of my GTI HDI that I used to have, that looked awesome with just a standard look and lowered

I didn't know that Payday Loans now sold car insurance.
Which insurance company charges such a high APR? I would have thought maximum 30 maybe 40% increase, but not 100%. Name and shame this insurance company (or group) so we can all avoid them in the future. I'll also avoid the comparison site they own, double Nectar points or not.
#21: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: 206HdiGti, Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 7:08 am ---- Going from 14s to 16s is going to mess up the handling and geometry of the car anyway, so 17s probably won't make it much worse.
You're going to blow all this money on the bodywork, make the car heavier, bad handling and even slower than it was before.
Sadly I didn't look into the insurance when I bought my GTI diesel - I was even more naive when I thought diesels cost less to insure than petrols. It's now crap that adding parents to your policy gets the cost down - insurers have caught up with this now and I was told on the phone it'll cost me the same whether they are on it or not. I pay £365 a year but im 28 with 9 ncb, but still extortionate.
I paid £1700 a year on my 1985 Toyota Mr2 when I was 18 - that would have been a much better acquisition considering the engines produce 122bhp and are RWD

#23: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: hilton_marc, Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2013 6:27 am ---- I've bought my first car a peugeot 206 1.1 LX and im paying on insurance £1.080, which is really cheap for me being 21.
#24: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: bistoo09, Location: GranthamPosted: Sun Oct 13, 2013 7:33 am ---- Im 19 and my first car was my 1.1 LX 206 and I am paying £1600 Fully Comp. With my business insurance it takes it to £1700.
Sadly pal you got screwed over.
#25: Re: Peugeot 206 style 2003 1.1 First Car at 17 (Tips/Ideas) Author: Amsirp, Location: Irelanda ;)Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2014 9:10 am ---- Very odd indeed, both my parents were added onto my policy for free without asking,which was a nice option. I've had 2 pugs in the past 3 years, the first was a 1.6 cc which was like €2500 3rd party. I couldn't afford that,so at 19 I got a 1.4 (picture below). I now have 2 years no claims and insurence is coming down €300 a year!! This is with a company called AXA (dunno if there under another name in UK). I'm fully comp at €1600,dropping monthly (due to student polixy) well happy be patient,but I would recommend you shop atound, that price seems mad for a stock 1.1 you have a full license?
