In all fairness you've got a 1.4 8v how much fun were you hoping for? |
had more fun in my 1.2 punto at 17...
206 is slow, looks poor and overall a boring car |
a 1.4 206 is faster than a 1.2 Punto LOL, it looks poor because yours is a 5 door standard 206 with lexus lights which is all your own doing bud
Dont get me wrong 206's are far from the greatest cars in the world, infact i dont really like mine that much but it is far better than a Punto! A car is as much fun as you make it... |
£8 ebay bargin lexus lights that is better then the standerd.

I dissagree, just because something is different doesnt make it better. It seems alot of people think oem parts arnt as good as aftermarket parts but its clear to see your £8 bargain lights are poor quality and id choose standard ones any day, they dont even look nice! Dont mean to have a go but you cant say your bored of a car after a month, you cant possibly know how to gain the most from your car in that space of time.

Lol. If you got the 206 because it was cheap and you spend as little money as you can on car parts *£8 lights* then.....
1. I don't expect this to go ahead
2. If it does I doubt it'll be any of the above mentioned other than the zr due to price/your choice in cars
3. It'll only end up being as boring and run down as the car you own now
Why don't you swap it in for a newer shape punto.....

Must have been a rubbish 180 driver if the fiesta st was even Stevens, there's not a massive difference between the 2, but there is a difference

Depends on the individual cars, look at the contrast in RR figures for stock 180's some come around 160 and others are actually around 180 which is clearly a big difference.

i was in the back of the 180 at the time and he was changing at right time etc but the st kept up tbh, only saying what i saw.
was in the st on return trip, both felt very similar tbh,
i like both anyway but would still choose the 180 over the two lol
