OLDish
Life in the beginning
| Quote:: |
Picked the car up mid 08 for 2k, this was really cheap for what it is, the girl who had it before me had it up for 3k and was told to lower the price and got carried away.
Model: 206 1.1 Style 3 door hatchback
Cost: £2000
Mileage: 50'000
Modifications:Kenwood 6x9s |
Chavving it up bruv
| Quote:: |
I had a problem when i first got the car, the problem was that i was still a teenager and for some reason 17" rims seemed like a tremendous idea. protip, it wasn't. These went after a few months of having a 0-60 of what must have been 20secs+
You'll note the SP grille, and the GTI cap, they were at least steps in the right direction. |
| Quote:: |
| This is it midway through the lexarse change, i actually don't hate the look and think, on any other 206 they would be good, but on a red 206 the standard rear lights fit so perfectly so these didn't last long. |
Interior change 1
| Quote:: |
Picked up a half leather interior that was local on ebay for £150. These days that's expensive, back then it was a pretty good deal. |
GTI alloys and arches
| Quote:: |
| Picked up some arches cheaply and got a set of 4 GTI phase 1 alloy wheels for 120 with good tyres which i thought was an amazing price. |
GTI 180 interior
| Quote:: |
Scrapyard for silly cheap money, all airbags intact, the airbags are always intact which is kind of worrying.

Cost of resprey <£25
2x kumho 195/45/r16 tyres £85 delivered
