Got my hands on a 1.4 8v, It's looking crappy at the moment, things need to be changed and idea's would be appreciated.
First things to do -
Remove the headlight masks (crappy black s***ty things) And replace headlights with crystal h7's
Change the black bumperstrips for ezr silver ones, change the wings and front bumper, back bumper and boot strip for the sports ezr ones (need help on this as I know nothing about the wings???)
Get sports sp grille and bonnet vent
I'm not going to change the engine, I like it standard really, no interest in noise or anything, just looks.
Please any suggestions would be much appreciated as I want it to look mint, but not OTT, at the moment it looks like its been chav bashed. I don't like that.

Main things are:
- Not ideally a race prepared vehicle that requires stickers to show its sponsors
- You probably dont have all the items on the list, so its a bit awkward
- Shopping lists are what seperates Maccy D racers and an enthusiats vehicle

Surely the suggestion would be to remove the stickers on the door.

My bad, I though you meant that I shouldn't buy the stuff I want to buy.. I know what you mean now and yes ill be removing them stickers..

Just for the record though, I have Pirelli tyres, recaro baby seat, kenwood speakers, brembo break pads the only one is apline haha!
The idea is, do this car so its the s**t and have it as my second show car, first being a gto pontiac, which is a bit of a heap as it stands..

So you have a brand new BMW, pontiac GTO but you bought a 1.4 5 door 206?!
Just why man?! I would have bought a version 4 or 5 impreza for the cost of a 206 tbh......

Like I say its a project car, besides the 206 is going to be for the nephew when he passes his test...
No interest in impreza's nor evo's just don't like them  and plus would be no good on my nephews first insurance quote..
Like I say the GTO is a heap at the moment but in a coupple of years it should be back to former glory.. look in the photoshoot gallery for the pics of my 116
