So march this year I bought my 206 2.0l HDi with 57,00 miles on the clock and full service history, paid a little over the top for it but saw the potential!
Here are some pictures as I got the car totally standard apart from some lexarse lights 
I had a list of what I wanted to do and top of that was SP front and rear bumpers along with some phase two crystals to make it look newer rather than anything else, so here's a little step by step of what happened,
Firstly I bought some H4 - H7 adapters off of Northantsben, and SP front and rear bumpers and also crystals off of hanpug25, cheers guys!
Then off comes the front end...
What a nightmare! I think I should mention now that this is the first car I've ever done anything too, I've got the least mechanical mind ever, no patience and am very heavy handed!
Half way through it started raining and one bolt literally had me on my knees praying.
Anyway on goes the bumper and crystals...
I had a few issues with the lights and Ihad to try and remember how to use a multimeter lol
finished that and moved onto the rear bumper...
a long weekend but well worth it, next I think it's CC'd side strips, door handles, phase 2 bootstrip, exhaust and lowering!
Here are some shots of it as it stands now, gave it the last wax before the snow and bad weather kicks in!

That looks great  on your sport front bumper that you fitted, there is a bolt on the bumper moulding insert just below each headlight, are these actually screwed into the mouldings holding them in? I'm asking because I need to take my bumper moulding off to push out a slight crease that happened to it when it was at a garage.. and I don't want to take the bumper or middle grille off if I don't have to
Phase 2 boot strip would look good too

Hi mate, yeah there was a screw at both sides under the headlight and they do hold the bump strip aswell as the front bumper on, you'll need to take the grille off to get to them. The grill is just the four mushroom clips and a bit of force on the thin bits under the lights, would suggest buying some of the clips as I snapped all four of mine getting it off lol I can take a pik of my old bumper so you can get an idea of how they're put on if you need it?
