Ok, so i bought this car in September 2008 with 68k on the clock to be used as a daily driver.
The condition was pretty rough when i got it, it was rolling on steelies with 3 pug hubcaps, and one flat tyre.
However, i did like the colour, as it seemed pretty rare to see a white 206 very often.
The front passenger front wing had a large dent in it and there was some sort of tree sap/moss issue going on with the roof.
I had no intention of modifying it at all, apart from just cleaing it up.
Anyway, after a new wing, some Sirocco's, a good clean and a SP fuel cap, it looked like this:
Then after a bit more cleaning last summer, it looked a bit shinier:
(sorry about the pic quality - only from my phone).
Since then i think i got bitten by the modding bug again.
I stated thinking of things i could do to the car to enhance the looks, but only slightly as its only a 5 door diesel at the end of the day, which is good for me as a daily runner tho!
However a few things (quite a few things) started to go wrong and i've spent some cash on this car over the last 6 months which put a hold on any mods.
Parts replaced were:
Brake discs
Brake pads
Crank shaft pulley
Aux drive belt
Timing Belt
Pirelli P6000 Powergy tyres all round
K&N Panel air filter
Coolant Flush
Water Pump
Glow Plugs
Air, Oil and Fuel filter change
Fuel Lift pump
More recently i've had a new clutch put in it as the old one started to slip.
Also, i'm in the middle of colour coding the plastics on the car - should be finished soon - need to get this sorted as well:
Also i have a honeycomb front grille to put on when i evenyually get the front bumper off.
Rear Phase 2 lights and boot strip now fitted - just debating weather to de-badge or not.
I'll get some more pics up once the colour codings done and i've clayed, polished and waxed.
Mods to come are Spax VSX 30mm sports kit - just waiting to fit.
Maybe some nimrods in black or graphite, but we'll see after its been lowered.
New interior eventually, some new mirrors and cc the door handles - nothing major, new exaust system and a few other bits.

Ok, so got the colour coding finished today - learnt a few lessons along the way - namley watch out for dust!
Its a killer - i figured i would never get the finish of a proper body shop but i don't think it looks that bad ATM...
Phase 2 rear lights and boot trim added also (cheers to euroandy for these):
That towing eye was awful so got some smooth black hammerite on there:
Thats it for now...few other bits to sort now under the bonnet and get it lowered.

Not too sure about smoked lights - maybe something to think about though
Lowering is next, some pressed plates, CC'ing door handles and need to do someting with the mirrors, but need some new driveshafts before any of that!
