Back box might be a waste ... diesel exhausts work differently to petrol ... it will look better though granted!
Get crystal lights for fronts too ... the single H4 bulbs are cr@p ...

Nice to see another 1.4HDi, looks pretty tidy and a real early one at that. Couple of good plans there. definitely replace the standard rear exhaust box. you'll get a nice DI Growl then .
I keep meaning to remap mine but always find something extra to do so just doing it all before I get it mapped.

Get rid of the standard air box, get a cone on it with a direct cold air feed, make sure its a big cone though!
Also fit a decent front mount then get her mapped, and I expect you will be presently suprised!

dont have the cash for a FMIC yet.... but i would like too 
i thought just a k&N panel filter will be fine on a diesel?
also are crystal lights a straight swap?
thanks

Think the power steering pipes that run across get in the way, i looked into taking the 1.6hdi cooler and putting it on mine but it was too much hassle in the end, ended up buying a small used fmic but again, couldnt really be bothered, so im buying a gti instead lol

The 206 1.6 hdi is the same engine as the 207 (i think) its also a modified version of the 1.4 you have, just with slightly bigger cylinders and a couple of other bits including the intercooler

A remap was the first mod I did on my 1.4hdi, by far the best £200 I've spent on any car!
