0 Gauge/4 Gauge wire should be fine. Car Audio shops will sell it. I think the cranking amps on a 206 is under 100A even for the diesel though may be wrong.

the wire on that site is cheaper than amp wire i think an at 110 amp red with 15 quid aint gonna break the bank, what about fusing it? tempting to use the 4 gauge amp wire i got already in there

I wouldnt go close to the amp rating i'd go above it. Try your local welding supplies shop. Many people i know, including myself have used welder cable, highly sheilded and very flexible. Amp rating is probably through the roof and the price would be a lot less!

0 gauge is a complete overkill and dangerous if not fused correctly 4 gauge may be fine, but I've used 2 just to be sure.
