#1: Project Black and Red Author: Mkajuma, Location: KenyaPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:23 am ---- Since I decided to go berserk on my car, thought I'd put up a few pics, see what ya'll think....
So when I first got her, was a completely stock 2001 1.4Lx, never even bothered to take pics thats how drab she was...
Saved up and took her to the body shop.....got multiple things done....fabricated a custom fibre bodykit, custom dual exhaust, crystal headlamps, for some reason decided to paint the hood black to match the sunroof-and came out looking pretty cool imo, grabbed some choice black and silver rims.....generally got her a decent pair of titties
Engine went from stock to a nice deep growl after the exhaust mod....beautiful sound...
Next decided to do the rear brake lights, grabbed some led's off ebay....an a**e to match
Stuck in a beautiful stereo, the standard peugeot radio had to go!!!! Two pioneer 12" subs in the back, with the appropriate accompaniments-twitters, mids, a pioneer amp (will check the specs) and a bosch eq.. will throw up pics in a bit..not much luggage space left lol
Now that I've done the outside (may have started the wrong way round for some of you ) wanna boost power as much as a 1.4 will allow, so have a bmc cda on the way.
The exhaust mod was a bit too crude for my taste, you won't believe what was done, the idiot cut off my exhaust and welded the duals on!! so thinking of getting an aftermarket system, suggestions?
Also wanna dump the crystals and grab morettes. And the rear led's have to go...I like the way they look but the damn things stopped working after about 4-5 months...have one strip that lights atm lol...so looking for rear led's, perhaps black to match my colour scheme? Also thinking of grabbing some gloss black alloys...
Getting interior kits around here is hard as scrappys are few and far between, so my interior's still pretty much standard, save for my stereo, but keeping my eyes peeled for leather bucket seats and other tidbits....
Also wanna grab a rear spoiler and debadge the rear.
Right. Suggestions, opinions and critiques.....i know there are people itching to do the latter..... Last edited by Mkajuma on Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:57 pm; edited 1 time in total

#3: Re: Project Black and Red Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:31 am ---- should of left it stock, but im a hater lol
#4: Re: Project Black and Red Author: Will180, Location: NewcastlePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:36 am ---- not my cup of tea but even so those lights and alloys have to go id colour code the bumpstrips get a phase 2 boot strip get shot of the exhausts sp arches also maybe, it has potential of being a very memorable 206
#5: Re: Project Black and Red Author: sam-c, Location: Uni: Kent Home: ScunthorpePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:42 am ---- suggestions:
new alloys
morettes
black led lights
ph2 boot stip
lower
debadge front and back
sp arch extensions maybe?
rather than colour code id go black on the bump strips
just a few suggestions

My sentiments exactly....can get decent alloys locally but suggestions on the ph2 boot strip and led's? Ebay? Kinda burned after the crap set of led's i last got off there...
#7: Re: Project Black and Red Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:48 am ---- I don't like it. Would be better with Sport bumpers, colour code, ph2 boot strip, m3 rear lights, rear debadge.
I think the exhaust tips are horrible

Way to soften the blow lol.... but i almost kinda feel you on that one, been trying to decide way forward....hence reference to a cat back...
#9: Re: Project Black and Red Author: Pugsy, Location: Stoke On Trent, StaffordshirePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:50 am ---- not a fan of bodykits on the 206, but each to their own maybe a different set of alloys would change my mind

Sorry haha. I'm not one to pull punches. Trust me though, if you ditched the kit and exhausts and went OEM+, it'll look much better and less chavvy.
Up to you though. If you like it as it is, keep it

Cheers mate, food for thought i guess
#12: Re: Project Black and Red Author: TTnTT, Location: Telford,ShropshirePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:29 pm ---- Without sounding like everyone else im not keen on body kits but more than that them alloys dont do it for me also too small haha I think if it had some nice alloys filling the gap then it might pull that bodykit off
Blakc roof and bonnet looks nice tho as do the tints
#13: Re: Project Black and Red Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:36 pm ---- i like the black bonnet with black roof

Cheers....what size alloys would you reckon? As it is the wheels scratch the arches in the back when I have 2 or more (large) people back there....on 15's right now, was thinking perhaps 17's and lower the tyre profile slightly?

Thanks.....only one without a 'but' so far
was on the tip of your tongue though wasnt it
#16: Re: Project Black and Red Author: Callum206, Location: West SussexPosted: Mon Apr 18, 2011 4:01 am ---- Tbh in my opinion it looks incomplete without CC'd strips.
#17: Re: Project Black and Red Author: rudebwoi93, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Apr 18, 2011 5:14 am ---- I think it looks weird and confused :S as if it doesn't know what car it is. Some of the suggestions above would remedy that though, it really just looks 'unfinished' at the moment.
My suggestions (ignore if need be):
- Remove mesh/chicken wire from bumper and replace with something black.
- Badge-less grill
- Get some gloss black touches on that bumper
- Some aftermarket headlights (perhaps morettes as suggested above haha gloss black)
- Get some flared wheel arches (the current ones look too 'soft' for your look me thinks) and some sp arches to go with it to 'link together' the bumper and sideskirts
- Definately some new alloys/rims, haven't got any suggestions but those need to go lol!
- Spoiler to balance it all out (I reckon gti spoiler would be enough!)
- New rear lights, perhaps smoked M3 rears
- Gloss black phase 2 bootstrip
- SP Fuel cap (black bolts) maybe even custom black paintjob on one?
- Smoked indicator lenses
- C/c door handles, gloss black sidestrips and bumpstrips would look cool
- Smoked fog light and brake light
- Stubby aerial
- Dewiper (or gloss black :D)
- Gloss black door pillar vinyls or even peel off them
- Gloss black mirrors
Got a bit carried away I know but just my 2p worth lol

Yeah, I personally don't like the dewiper but lots of people do hence the suggestion. I can't do a stubby aerial on mine (front) but I'm also unsure as to whether I would do it if I could
