#1: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Updated 03.03.2011* Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 6:44 am ---- My first car was a 2001 1.4lx. had it colour coded and put alloys on it before i joined this site.
Joining meant i cc'd interior, tinted windows, added different lights all round, added a soundsystem
When i first got her..
how she changed
Then this sight got me looking at upgrades for my lx that higher models already have, and with 1yr no claims, and the need for a bit more poke and a few luxuries..i decided to sell up and get a higher model.
January 2009 i purchased a 55plate 1.6 sport in Aegean Blue
she started out life with me like this:
before i could drive her, i had taken interior plastics out to paint
The day i got her, i debadged the rear and put some rear LED's on that i swapped with a mate, and my private plate was swapped over
Insurance money came through and i bought alloys and a mod ive never had before, lowered suspension in the shape of vmaxx coilover kit and uprated shocks for the back
before
after
the spoiler went on from ebay already painted somewhere in all of that
Next was interior
white heater plate
Alpine DVD HU, Type R 10" sub, Type R Comps, Vibe 4channel Amp
HU has ipod lead as well as hands free kit, meaning my parrot kit has come out
Dials: Lights off
Lights On
Tinted windows came next, along with a trip to Exhausts UK in sheffield for a S/S catback with oval tailpipe
Front end went down some more
SP grill came next with me putting the 206 logo on it in black hammerite
did have the upper grill, but sold that when i put on the badgeless front grill and bonnet notch filled in
had a few bits painted white, roof runners, mirror caps, bonnet vent, arieal (sp?)
and purchased some wheels for winter to save the white ones,
although these rubbed on the sp arches, so they were sold and 180 alloys went on.
This is as she stands now,
with not a lot left cosmetically, she needs new brakes pretty soon, and i want to upgrade the rear speakers too. Then when insurance agrees, im hoping to look into engine mods, cams, stainless manifold and sports cat but thats a while away yet.
hope u enjoyed the very long read, sorry i got picture happy lol

#3: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: djcarter, Location: north eastPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 6:56 am ---- would look nicer without all the white, maybe a more sutle colour, it looks like tipp ex for some reason
if you like it its all good though
#4: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: _Jay_, Location: LutonPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:01 am ---- Nice little project you have here. But as said, im not too keen ont he white myself.
#5: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: pug150, Location: birminghamPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:03 am ---- think black would go better
#6: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Ams1592, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:10 am ---- Nice car. I actually like the blue and white theme, keep the good work up.
#7: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:11 am ---- tbh i got fed up of the roof strips going grey when i caught them with polish, so i felt i was forever putting back to black on them, and i didnt think gloss black would go with the white wheels, so white was the obvious choice.
remember the 180 wheels are only on for the winter, the white ones will go on april ish time
#8: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: dan_206, Location: Bury St EdmundsPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:13 am ---- I love it mate, compleletly different and looks pretty cool too.
#9: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: djcarter, Location: north eastPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:17 am ---- i think spraying 180 wheels white and getting rid of all other white would look better
#10: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:23 am ---- its been done to death though, thats why i tried other things in white, im hoping the unique white wheels will tie the theme together in the summer, if not, il change things, its only paint after all
#11: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:27 am ---- It's ruined!
#12: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Bailey, Location: Finding Dr. RobotnikPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:27 am ---- I agree with dj!
#13: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: pug150, Location: birminghamPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:40 am ----

#14: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 8:58 am ---- nice car ruined by the white bits im afraid

#20: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 2:58 pm ---- the bodyshop at my uncles garage did it, i presume he sprayed them on the car, just masked up very well..no overspray, and paint finish is spot on.
i think the white wheels will finish the car off once they are back from refurb, summertime here i come
#21: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: kencogurl, Location: Carmarthen - WALESPosted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:37 pm ---- love it totaly its exactly what id do, looks really sexy
#22: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: rudebwoi93, Location: LondonPosted: Sun Jul 11, 2010 9:38 am ---- I love the white tbh, not sure how i feel about the white eyelids though, imho i think itd look nice with white 180 wheels and white 206 badge, and no white eyelids but thats just me
EDIT: On second thought, i quite like the eyelids too!! - But yes, white 180 alloys would definately set it off!
#23: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:48 pm ---- Heres a little addition
#24: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Kencoboy, Location: Pembrokeshire, WalesPosted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:50 am ---- lol nath you been a busy bee

#27: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 10:32 am ---- believe me when i say this... in the flesh it actually suits the car.
i saw this at the french carshow
#28: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2010 2:53 pm ---- it probably runs better because liam cleaned all the seals. If not, then i dunno, maybe it liked it makeover
have a good holiday!!

#29: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: ROVEZZ, Location: CheshirePosted: Sat Jul 24, 2010 3:25 pm ---- I cant decide if i like the white or not!
I personally think the wingmirror tops and the eyebrows are a touch too far.
but I love the originality of the roof liner.
Have you thought about gettin the ecosse cristal bonnet vent (or the cheaper copy of it), spray it white.
Think it would compliment the car very well. if you got rid of the eyebrows etc
#30: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2010 3:41 pm ---- He got rid of the eyebrows, i thought they looked good with the car, but it still looks good now also So in my opinion, if something isnt going to improve the look of the car, ya dont need it.
I bought an Alpine mono amp for my sub
and added Type R rear coaxials, amped of course
sound deadened a whole lot,
and build a false floor to cover it all.
sorry its blurry
Fitted a full leather interior in the week building up to FCS
Got my summer wheels on, these have been on since 05/04/2010, long overdue update!
Sprayed the rest of the interior vents to match my theme
Fuel cap was painted to match the theme, quite impressed with the results
Removed the eye brows as they needed repainting and i wanted a change, you will also see the smaller front plate, UK font, legal spacing, carbon fibre "look" gel letters,
Ive also added a few stickers.
All updated, exterior and interior are now finished, apart from winter wheels which are secret
now onto small performance bits

#33: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 1:11 pm ---- Personally love the white bits you've got going on. Think having one or two less stickers might make it a bit nicer. Less is more in some cases.
#34: Re: Jonno's 1.6 Sport Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:44 pm ---- No offense but it reminds me of this:

#36: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: pete_206, Location: Ash, SurreyPosted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 4:12 pm ---- I think it looks like you have too many stickers because your last update post focused alot on stickers... I personally think the car (including stickers) looks pretty damn mint!
Although to go with the name of your thread you should of picked up one of these:
#37: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 4:48 pm ---- thats a good point to be honest pete. ive added two stickers today and moved the speedbumps one to the front, il get some full car shots to add in here after trax.
Zian, what sweets are they? They look absolutely brilliant imo
#38: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: ReeVo, Location: HullPosted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 5:03 pm ---- Love it mate, was thinking of white features on mine.
I am surprised by the responses of the majority on here, either our views are different from them or there are a lot of jealous of people commenting.
Nice one.
#39: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 5:06 pm ---- Haha i know what you mean mate, i always seem to get slated on here for it, yet got great feedback at fcs, dare to be different eh

nice car mate but i think i agree with most people am not too keen on the white thing? think you have been let lose for too long with the spray can lol, but apart from that looks quit good
Agree with that, too many white bits going on and looks too busy.
Not a fan tbh, looks too 'busy' too much going on.

#53: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 10:23 am ---- i was lucky to find it already painted, £60 isnt a bad price for a genuine one. Added bonus, although it makes no difference, is that mine was off a 180
#54: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Big Update, 29/08/2010* Author: Boydie, Location: BelfastPosted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 10:28 am ---- so is mine hopfully get it this weekend

Liking the gold wheels, really complement the colour. Need to loose the white bits though.
#69: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Updated 10/1/2011* Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 4:32 pm ---- As Luke said...maybe spray all the white bits Gold to match and make it your theme..?

#72: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Updated 10/1/2011* Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 4:57 pm ---- That's the one mikey, I've got it in a liquid form and its easier to use with the same results.
As the guys have said the gold wheels are only for winter, they are 10x easier to clean than the white and blue ones.
#73: Re: Project: Low, Slow & Loud *Updated 10/1/2011* Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 3:45 pm ---- gota say i prefer the gold wheels to the white one, just looks sooo tidy... but i do love the white so well done mate
