hi there i thought i would start one of these up to show you guys my project what it has come form and what it looks like at the moment to what i want it to look like
so back in november 2008 with little money to replace my little saxo i cam across this a peugeot 206 1.4 lx which had seen better days the amount of rust mainly at the frount end was unreal so after comeing across a bonnet and some cheep and nasty alloys this is what it looked like.
i was going to have the bonnet painted and leave it like that but i got bored and decided to change it so next came the badgeless grill and smooth bonnet and another set of cheap and nasty wheels.
so after that haveing not decided to go euro as of yet i go some black lexarse lights , black fog light and a bi plane spoiler sorry about the crap photos here
so round about this time i joined a 206 forum and leared so much about 206's what kind of parts where avalible and that so my next buy was a set of phase 2 rear lights
and a pic of them fitted on the car
and them some phase 2 headlights
i have never fitted these to my car as of yet
so my next buy for the car was a roland garros interior which looks like this
so my next buy for this was some new wheels so after many hours of hunting ebay i got bored and ended up with these
they are peugeot 205 1.6 gti speedlines
at the same time i bought some cheep ass coilovers
so after fitting the coilovers and the wheels i decided it was about time to start my euro plans so i removed the bump strips on the side and smooth them off and this is what it looked like
so after seing this as you can tell the back is way to high so i had the torsion bar took down 60 mm and it now looks like this
so after haveing the garros interior in my car i noticed i didnt go with any of the gray door cards or that so i decided change was in order so i went and got some black door cards and fitted them
i am hopeing to get them re-trimed like these ones. theses are the ones that came with the interior but unfortunatly only fit 5 dr model of a 206
so now i have came to the stage of which i am at just now i have totally removed the frount end which i am repaceing with two front sports wings and a smoothed of frount bumper from a gti 180 also finishing off the smothing because as to date i have onli done the one side
so anyways thats it for now i hope ou enjoyed reading if you got this far and i will update it as much as possible

Hope your taking that spoiler off, else it won't be euro imo.
Could smooth on some kinda lip like spoiler make it look standard. might look good
You keeping the car the same colour?
The front bumper needs the recess smoothing, but i'd do what the other old boy did, and get a sport one and smooth that and the fogs out, altho i like the above from Rage's car.
