I bought Jared's (PugJH) old car about 2 weeks ago. 53 1.1 style
There has been a lot of work put into this car by Jared so I thought it would make sense to put a link to his original project thread. Not really fair I take the credit for how the car looks at the moment lol.

I just bought a set of these lights
and will post some pictures up when they get delivered and put them on
So far I have fitted a Cupra R splitter and my grenade dustcaps from my old car 
anyway here are some pictures
I think the next mod needs to be a wash tho!!

The first thing i would do is drop it 40mm and get rid of the wheels, they look good but only on a 205 gti but thats just me
everything else is looking smart!

I wouldlove it if my insurance was 130 a month That'd be a £30 drop from what mine currently is. And thats just for a 1.4..Cant wait until it eventually goes down.
But i agree about the wheels.

Wheels look fine as they are, even better with a clean  just needs less arch gap and its perfect

I do like the wheels but with them only being 15" it really does leave a massive gap between the tyre and the arch and i cant afford to get it lowered properly.... probably could afford some springs to drop it a little bit, you think it would be worth it?

Yep, if you change them. Get these, don't get vortex they are to big for the 1.1 especially if your looking to lower it. That my opinion anyway.
But then again some people hate the 205 1.9s some love them, think with a nice clean they will come up pretty well, if you do sell them let me know lol, could be a drive up to you for me haha.
Or get some cotya/tempests in white. Look pretty nice I think
