As long as you understand the electrics side of the 206, just swap everything over.
Keep the VIN number from the GTi if you ever get problems down the line.

hi thanks,im going to keep the vin num. i dont 100% but my mate does.
this was what i was thinking to swap to complete the conversion just not sure if i missed anything lol
engine
gearbox
engine bay loom
ecu
complete front subframe inc brakes,suspension legs,steering rack
chip from key with key reader around ing barrell
rear axel (mines not to good anyway)
speedo cluster
not to sure if i missed anything that i`d need also not sure if i`d run into any issues when doing this, so was hopeing someone that has done this could gimme a few pointers on what id need an what to look out for. as for electrics i thought it was a case of swaping ecu an loom

You might get away without it. The ECU/BSi will expect ABS to be there. Doesn't interfere with the driving of the car though so just remove the bulb from the clocks.
