Somewhat, I've had to make a custom mount, etc to have it fit how I want.. It's on for now, but I need to do a few more modifications as it's currently hung by cable ties:) lol

Dropped the car as low as possible, arches aren't rubbing, but you can't get your finger in, so there's literally no gab, lol. The torsion bars are sitting on the bump stops, goes to show how low it really is.. Going to be putting 15" steelies on after christmas while I refurb my wheels... 4mph on 17's, god help me when I put them on, haha:)
more fun talk about lowering my car here:-

thanks everyone for the kind words! been hiding for awhile, but I'm back!
jacked the car up in the usual standard...
decided to replace disks, calipers, etc for more meatier and nicer looking ones...
Was cold and tired so haven't got a photo yet, but I'll add one when the wheels next off (which it probably will be soon lol)
soo... fancied a change from other silver peugeots. So far, mine looked a bit "standard". okay, lower than most, but other than that, it was a bit common.
put on a 180 fuel cap, will get it sprayed the same colour as my car when we get some warmer weather:)
then, thanks to my friends up in manchester... 2 hours way may I add! we began something fun and new! please, ignore my fog light! big puddle on the motorway and it's got in there! will be fixing tomorrow, haha!
the plan is gloss black roof, and also top of the tailgate, as I felt just the roof itself didn't suite the car... Then I wanted B pillars as well over the standard "matte" like pillars.
I'm also getting my hands on some GTi 180 / Gran Turismo wing mirrors, fully glossed to match:)
next up are rear lights! mine were cool, but light didn't really come through... So removing them and getting some fly eyed!
another thing while doing my roof, was how BAD the roof railings next to it looked after... So, may as well do these too!
nice shot of the roof and also the top of the tailgate!
That's pretty much the car as it sits currently. Got my wing mirrors in the post, also ordered team heko wind deflectors... Should turn up monday or tuesday:)! tempted to tint the rear three windows, not sure yet, will do them myself so not too expensive... We'll see.
Tempted to also de-wiper, may take it off and give it a run for a week and see how I feel. I don't really use the wiper, you get a rough idea of what's behind, lol:)
Quickie of the car in the light:-
love how low it sits, makes it look like a toy, haha:)
you'll probably notice my exhaust is gone and the standard is back up... Cutting it up and removing the baffle and other goodies to make it louder! it has a really nice rumble, but its not loud enough to hear over the engine when actually giving it some grief, so needed to fix that;)
Also got a FULL 180 interior, seats, door cards, etc from Shell-VT, so thanks to her for that! should get that sometime this week too:) will keep you updated. Thanks for reading.

Deffo do a project page! they're fun to do and let's you visit your old work and see how much you've actually done! great fun!

Hey, everyone:)
another little update! wing mirrors came today, so fitted them! definetely made the car look a lot smarter! cars really coming together now!
They look massive here, but I suppose I must have small hands, haha!
I think its really coming along! I'm currently looking at painting my bonnet grill gloss black to match... May do something about the head lights and fogs too? I feel now that everything else has been done, the front side just doesn't seem to match the rest of the car. Looking into getting the fronts and fogs masked off:) Hopefully get a few more bits and pieces this week!

took me a long time too! They're off the gran turismo so they got a lot of fancy extras like being heated, electric folding, etc, etc. I paid £20 per side, so £40. Got them off eBay. It's hard to get drivers side, so I got lucky. The big sticker maybe going, will get some of the smaller ones on each of my rear side windows instead

If I can get on the 206info stand I'll go there:) I haven't yet booked tickets, is it usually best to book early? as I'll do them as soon as next month if required.. I've got vortex alloys so have no centre caps, they're just one piece of metal with badges glued on. Challengers have the centre capped lions. Yeah, £30 for a cap would give me sleepless nights, haha:)
