Looks good mate, just needs dropped a few mm now. 
Steels. Not very much. I couldn't shift mine at £30.

Thanks very much and yeah their exact words were 'You do know you will end up lowering that in the future' lmao
It would look good dropped 25mm and proportionately at the back, but there is an inclination to my drive that I may not be able to get over without scraping if lowered, and my insurance is expensive enough as it is right now, so maybe in a year or so 
Edit: The old wheels were in the boot when this picture was taken so it could be possible that this makes the front end look a little higher in the picture, it doesn't seem that high in the metal compared to this picture
I plan to mask the caps as I paint them so I can do the base in anthracite and the lions in chrome to match the new style caps

Alloys look really good
I think you should powdercoat the petrol cap to match, will look better IMO.

Thanks
I've decided to go for it, I have the name of the place the wheels were done at so I will ask them for a quote to do it in the matching shade. Is it easy to remove the fuel cap from the main lock mechanism?
Tomorrow the caps are going to be stripped with thinners so I can prime them for when the paints arrive

Dont like sport front wings, not fussed abou lowering right now. I realise with the Nimrods I am going to get comments like that, but I did not have £460 to buy tempests, £200+ for tyres and then £50 for bolts - i could not justify that when I could get some newly done Nimrods completely fitted for £220
Maybe it does look like a gti wannabe, but i could not care less as I have had fun planning and saving up for these things

Thanks bud, I do not mind constructive criticism... Jord, Mrs_Howey, Daba - example of a few members who have small litre engine cars that they have styled up nicely, no one gives them sarcasm about it. My car won't change back just because some one says its a gti-wannabe lol
I really like my new wheels and the colour, but they look bare without the centre caps and nut covers. I'm trying to weaken the old paint on the caps with spirit solvent so I can get cracking as soon as my spray paints arrive

There's plenty of 206's out there that have Sports bumpers etc that aren't GTi's. Mine being one 
Nimrods look crackin' I'm not a fan of Nimrods but you've pulled it off on your car.
