Yea ive beening looking into it and seeing what the best route to use for the PAS.
Benefit is that you could use the IC setup from a 1.6hdi 206 to keep OEM.

That's the way I've been envisioning it. The smallest AVT Barrel chargecooler should fit, but bending the pipes could be an issue. I'll have to make cardboard model to see how it fits. A real bonus would be if it fits under the OEM engine cover to make it look completely stock.

They are 16/205/... from a 307 with 195/45 tyres on them.
Colour is light anthracite, just waiting on the spacers so they don't rub on the struts then they will be on !!!

Got 20mm spacers hopefully turn up tomorrow. The GTI axle i brought is lowered i think, but im going to lower the front on 35mm springs then refurbish the rear axle/set it to an appropriate height.

Haven't updated for a while as not much as gone on due to me being skint. Wheels are fitted and i am going to refurbish the axle some time in the week when i get a couple of free days.
These pictures are with 20mm spacers all round, took the 20mm off of the front but left them on the back.
Thinking of lifting the back up when i change the bearings, as the beam i brought is fairly low.

Refurbed the axle but dint take any decent pictures as I was fairly busy all day. So much nicer to have the back end not creaking every time someone gets in the back.
