#1: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: timpug206, Location: Lincoln, East Midlands.Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 5:23 am ---- Hi guys ive been wanting to do a project thread for a long time now , unfortuantly my pictures arnt great and i dont have a great deal of them . but you will be able to see how the car has progressed from when i brought it 4 monthes ago! I will be able to get the pictures of my car while it was in the body shop soon but i thought i would start this thread today.
Ok so here goes, This is the car when i brought it
Completly standard, nothing done to it, ex-peugeot business car, so had been serviced via peugeot every 10k, have all reciepts to prove
These are the pictures from the showroom. I picked it up and got straight to work the day after.
The following day i took it to motosave, My cousin works there who owns a 206. (id ordered parts for the 206 before i even brought it lol) So i have things to put on it as soon as id got the car.
So here are the pictures the following day after lowering it.
After lowering it i got down to fitting the sound system, which is a full Fli setup including door speakers front and rear, headunit and subwoofer. I also i fitted a set of Black/tinted lexus lights, which i think work with the car, im not keen on the standard lexus lights but i thought id try them out.
I picked up a set of Axia Bombers for a decent price and got them fitted the following day, here is how they sat at the rear!
I then fitted the cupra R front splitter and the bonnet bra which never fit right, as it just wasnt tight enough around the front!
The car sat like this last picture of a month of so before i decided what i wanted to do, i was going to sell it then i came across some money. This is how is sat for a month!
I was then stuck waiting for the bodyshop to be free, so in the week i got my self some stickers and a aftermarket fog light for the rear. I also Fitted the 206 gti seats half leather half alcantara (god knows how to spell it) Thanks to Razpulsedj!
It finally went into the body shop to come out looking like this,
I had the following done to the car ;
1) Badge recess smoothed
2) Smooth grill
3) Number plate excess smoothed
4) Fogs removed and smoothed
5) Washer jets removed and smoothed
6) 1 of the bonnet vents removed and smoothed
7) Tow eye removed
8 ) Different mesh
9) Front end respray including bonnet,bumper,wings,grill
10) Momo team 280 fitted!
Here are the pictures the day i got it from the bodyshop
After ordering my ecosse fuel cap which will take 4 weeks to get here i decided to do something different with my standard one.
I then went to pick up my new set of wheels from a friend of mine, this is how one of them looks when i put them on.
They are 205 gti wheels (speedlines) Black with a polished lip, soon to be going body colour with polished lip!
And finally this is how the car sits today!
Hope you like what you see guys,
Here is a list of whats to come
1) Smooth door locks
2) Marvel comic strips over roof
3) Smooth Roof
4) Smooth boot
5) Remapped
6) De-catted
7) Helper Springs out 165/45/r15 tyres to go on.
9) Gti rear axle with discs
Last of all i recieved one of my favorite stickers of all time! Hope you like!!
Thanks!!!! <3

#9: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: timpug206, Location: Lincoln, East Midlands.Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 6:30 am ---- thanks for the comments guys, and the wheels are staying on it unless i get some bbs rm/rs which i doubt as i dont have a grand to pay for them!
#10: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 7:49 am ---- Quite like the poo sticker Needs to go lower on the front though and your old wheels were more "euro" speedlines aren't very euro. However, i know of someone who can make speedlines into a 2 piece wheel
#11: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:13 am ---- Brian can you pm me the info including price and are they actually like proper 2 piece wheels i.e. staggered dishes etc..?
#12: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:28 am ---- Contact Tom Fenton on PSOOC They are proper 2 piece wheels, not sure what you mean by staggered dishes?

Riding on bump stops could damage the trailing arm bearings in long run.
Looking good tho
#14: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: timpug206, Location: Lincoln, East Midlands.Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 11:59 am ---- yeh i have had it on bumpstops for a while still ok, but to be honest i want the bearings to go as it gives me an excuse to get a gti one hehe

nice thinking lol
#16: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:10 pm ---- If the back was 15mm higher the stance would be alot better imo
Sam.
#17: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:32 pm ---- Yeah for a "euro" car stance and wheel choice is everything. Im afraid yours doesnt have it. The bodywork is nice though, good job on that
#18: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: timpug206, Location: Lincoln, East Midlands.Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:37 pm ---- ive been thinking that to be honest howey, but i just dont know what wheels to get! I want something with a huge dish but nothing to tacky! any ideas?
#19: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:45 pm ---- Borbet A's in 16
Sam.
#20: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:46 pm ---- Sign up to wheelwhores and have a browse for ideas!
Dont wanna blow my own trumpet but I think im getting there with ride height and stance, I have Dotz mugello's in 16" and 7J wide with an offset of 15.
Tyres are 195/45/16.
Not saying its perfect by anymeans, there is still a long way to go with it but im getting there!
#21: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: gavstar, Location: BedsPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:10 pm ---- I love the front end of your car, bonnet is a fresh idea and works really well, only think i dont like (and im a fine one to talk) are the stickers on the back, they seem a bit erratically spread out on the rear window, all down one side would suit it more I think...and maybe get some more "scene" ones...the poo sticker just doesnt do it for me, but each to their own and all in all a great looking car
#22: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:20 pm ---- I want howeys wheels in gloss black for my car! Bit of stretch and they'd be purrfect!
#23: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: timpug206, Location: Lincoln, East Midlands.Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 2:23 pm ---- yeh i could have got a set of dotz mugellos but decided against it, reason being i have a friend who has a 206 sitting on them and didnt want to copy. i looked at borbet a's but i think id have a problem as there 8.5j arnt they? or even 8? wont that be TOO wide? i would love a set of bbs wheels but money doesnt grow out my ears!
#24: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 2:29 pm ---- Nice looking car mate, good to see I'm not the only 1 who couldn't get their bonnet bra to fit properly
#25: Re: My Euro 206 Project thread! Author: timpug206, Location: Lincoln, East Midlands.Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:01 pm ---- i got seriously ticked off about my bonnet bra, just wouldnt fit what so ever i ended up stitching it up abit so it was tighter, but still a few bit that still looked crap!
