I'd definitely add some phase 2 headlights and rear's. oh and of course nimrod alloys if you can get a cheap decent set on the bay.

When I get some penny's together I'm looking to get some black masked headlights, I'm going to hold out on some wheels for the time being as these steels have next to New tyres

Fair enough then mate, pointless scrapping 4 good pieces of rubber... Could I ask though why you took the GTi badge off? To deter thieving chavs or.....

IMO the 138 gti shouldnt of been the "206 gti", its too warm to be a hot hatch so to answer your question im kind of embarrassed to call it a "gti"

got the replacment parts fitted today and they are loads better, no bubbles or peeling.
not going to bore you with loads of pics, just one of the door handle to show the improvment
10 out of 10 to the ebay seller for sorting it out.
i think thats it for the cosmetics for now, need to start on the oily stuff now
