Sorry if this is in the wrong section but she's a potential project Razz

What on earth shall I do with my 206 ??

I havent had her long and I dont have a huge budget but im open to suggestions for the future.
I've been looking at the bumper guide of budget mods so might do a few of those but I'm in the school of thought less is more but i do like the 206 branded stuff.
Her body work isnt great so she will need some work done on that eventually.
Also the wiper on the rear is too big to clear the roof spoiler so need to replace that and the front wipers are smearing so will be ordering some aeros for the front.

This is the only pic I have of her atm sorry guys:

 


Each to their own so open to suggestions so thanks for all the input but don't be offended if I don't do it Cool

Pick up a cheap set off alloys off eBay first off. Just remember it will cost u about an extra £50 if you tell your insurance.

Cheers Walton, was thinking of leaving the wheels for now as dont really want to pay the extra insurance atm to upgrade to the alloys and my hubs are already a bit tatty but bound to get scratched up anyway as im covering a fair amount of poor road surface atm. In the long term hoping to get some alloys and maybe upgrade the tyre size Smile

Anything you do to it is classed as a modification really, so if you do tell your insurence company about anything you do it will more than likely hike up your premium.

What the question you should be asking is 'Will i own this car long?' If the answer is no then dont mod it as you just loose money, if the answer is yes then have a read through project threads as they will help you picture parts on your car

Not all the time. My FMIC, Alloys and every other mod add £0. Phone up you'd insurers, ask them what WOULD happen if you were to add Alloys/Spoiler/Peugeot Sports bumpers.
