not too keen on driving my 180 in the ice and floods this winter. used to have a 206 auto as a daily but this died last winter so have been looking out for a cheap runaround and i managed to aquire this which iv done a bit to and should be ideal over the bad weather Smile

thoughts? there will be haters but its just a cheap runaround so im not overly fussed tbh just wanted to give it a bit of street cred

have since dewiperd and debadged the bootlid but not got any pics yet

LMAO!! Exactly the same as my daily driver. I bought it for my gf but its much better on fuel than my cc and im not afraid to use it when its icy. I bought it off a friend for £100 because it wouldnt start, new battery and a few bits and bobs from the scrappy and its as good as new HAHA!!
Yours looks a lot cleaner though. I did start t-cutting hers but i got bored after one door, so it looks like a different white to the rest of the car.

... complete with snowplough attachment. Dewipering a 'winter car' is a step backwards though. Are the 16v wheel centres alloy or plastic?

You could do worse. But you are better off in your 206 IMO. They are good in snow and I doubt you go forging rivers anyway. Plus you are less likely to die if you do crash.

i live in the countryside and the roads are quite often badly flooded coupling that with the k&n typhoon behind the foglight is a bad idea
plus the idea of all the salt and grit over it worries me im very ocd when it comes to the 180 lol
i do agree about the safety bit tho i was scared to hell driving it on the dual carraigeway to start with lol got used to it now loving the fuel consumption too Very Happy
