I averaged 60mpg which was 400ish miles of motorway and 240ish miles of local driving. God these 1.4 beasts are like vw equivalent of bluemotion. nice plate mate, did you stick it on?

Tell me about it, my work colleague has a 13 plate Aygo and even that can't match these for fuel economy, where I live 75% of roads are hills, he's having to use first for hills my little Pug can do in 3rd... I love it!

Yeah I just used some double sided number plate tape from local car shop, 99p I think and its like tiger seal, no idea how I'm going to get it off to trim it, going to try a DIY stubby plate using another plate for shaping guidance, hopefully it'll look ok, just need to get rid of the pesky screw holes first.

Thanks for the link Looks a great read! I'm looking into doing this myself before I get a remap, I'm hoping for 110bhp which I hope isn't too optimistic, the intercooler should vastly improve efficiency as well, although my 206 always seems to run very cool anyway and doesn't hit 90 degrees usually, and i do a lot of local delivery driving, with some big hills!

Where abouts are you based? I'd highly recommend RS Tuning if you are considering remapping. They've mapped my Rs Turbo and the difference was amazing! I know a 1.4 HDi isn't exactly a pocket rocket, but there's plenty of torque potential there Laughing

Hello everyone.

Haven't updated this in a while been really busy and haven't done anything in the way of modifications. Just had clutch done, and timing belt is booked in for wednesday at the grand price of £180!

Also bought some MTEC Cosmos Blue, which are definately worth a purchase, great light output!

I've just purchased these little beauties

All being well, going to collect Monday.

However I have a few question on them
I originally have steelies so they bolts for the wheels are black and frankly awful. Does anybody know the correct size wheel bolt and where to buy them?

Also regarding tyres, when putting a Gti reg into black circles to get tyre quotes its coming up with a rim size of 15, yet aren't the Gti nimrods 16's?

All help greatly appreciated! Thanks

Nice rims!
Yes, nimrods are 16 inch. You'll want 195/45/16 or 205/45/16. The 45 is the profile, so you can increase them if needed

Thanks, hopefully will look ok on my indigo, if not I'll do them anthracite. Paid £95 for them with recent refurb, tyres need replacing though.

Thanks for that, I can get some tyre quotes now.

good little project coming on here will keep an eye on this. a charge cooler or a double pass intercooler is ideal for a 1.4 HDI in the process of doing mine As with anything do your research first there are projector lights available have a search on the site, angle eyes are one set plus there is another but they are costly.

Yeah as soon as the exterior is sorted so it doesn't look so entry level and all mechanics are up to scratch I'm gonna start putting some money into it. I love the charge cooler idea but I'm gonna have to look into costing first, Gonna get a remap ASAP, and i've been speaking with a company called advancedflo exhausts where I live, so gonna get them to build a straight through. Need to get rid of that enormous chamber where the cat used to be, I'm sure it'll be affecting performance. How is yours going, cost wise and difficulty in getting it done, problem is there uisn't that many people who've cooled a 1.4 hdi. It's usually the 2.0 lump.

So Wheel's nearly finished... Finally!

Gonna book in for tyres hopefully next week.

I've decided on Toyo Proxies T1-R

Anybody have any feedback for these tyres size is 215/40/r16

I know they ain't perfect but I wasn't really bothered about them been flawless as it's used as a delivery car so it get a fair amount of abuse. So results are rattle can sprayed and lacquered with no filler or primer used.

BEfore Lacquer

How they started against now

Yeah not going too bad thanks. Wow that was steep. Had my cambelt and waterpump done about a month ago at 105k costing a total of £170. But when the guy did it, he showed me the belt that he took off, which looked almost brand new, most of the writing was still on the belt. Definitely had been changed recently, I just had no proof Confused

Yeah I hate my interior too, it's an awful light blue. I quite fancy the Quicksilver interior, gonna add it to the to do list haha. Which is growing considerably.

Now I've had clutch and belt done, going to get my cat back sorted and remapped, which should take it to about 95bhp.

sadly I only have this picture, which was before spraying.

Definitely needs lowering, that arch gap is ridiculous! The ride in mine isnt too bad, the only thing I don't like is the body roll round corners, hopefully the fatter tyres will help this and after I fit some springs and dampers, I'm considering a Strut brace, 45mm drop on Bilstein dampers should make it corner a little better at least.

Pre-plexed GTi's had 15's - I had one.

They look like this:

Had T1-Rs on a few cars, for the price they normally cost they're cracking tyres.

Seem to recall they can suffer from premature shoulder wear, so not really suited to the long term too well. Depends how you drive, of course.
