My 206 has 180k miles on the clocks but running smooth. What i want to know is would it be worth my time to do a few mods e.g; Lowering, Rims, gti kit etc. If the engine blows im thinking about either doing a turbo gti conversion and making it a proper sleeper considering its a 5 door and would be so unexpected or the other route is to put in a 1.6 hdi engine and map it with a front mount. Whats peoples opinions on this?

if you drop a new engine in it don't go for the 1.6 hdi, i would only go for 1.4 or 2.0

Just buy the right car to start with and do that. You need thousands to make any 206 fast.

The car is spot on only minor marks around the body that wont cost much to fix. I was thinking for the time being i could lower it around 70mil all round with 205 speedlines or some deep dish superlites

If you lower it, don't just buy springs, buy new dampers as well.

I dunno if you are intending on doing the work yourself but even if you are you are looking £1000s. May as well buy a new car. In my own experience going down the engine conversion route is a ball ache
