2.0 GTi already in the 206 is the successor of the XU10 anyway, so it's a bit of a redundant exercise

not to mention those XU9 and XU10 are stone age engine and it will be more and more difficult to find parts to rebuild them.
Even the successor engine EW series was already discontinuous in Europe and replaced by EP series

ermm why not. less electrics. old school over run. pops bang, ruff and ready tuned to smash an 180 in an embarrassing manner, but then £700 worth of handling and braking improvements are needed especially on a 206. then there it the issue of gearbox being smashed be the drive shafts
i think my cbr will stay for filling my speed needs

Still has an ECU like any 206 engine. Why would it pop and bang? Doesnt offer any more power than a 180 engine, little more than a 138 engine and less torque.
Why would the gearbox or driveshafts be a problem?

What you've just said to me:
'I know we've moved onto safer cars with better road holding than ever before, but back in the day square wheels was where it was at'
Utterly pointless, just TB or force induct a 138
