#1: In with the new! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:26 pm ---- As some of you know, this is my second 206 and I love it! Got the car with the alloys and GTI arches. Added an HID kit, GTI suspension, sprayed front badge, smoked back lights, smoked back fog, smoked high level brake, smoked indicators, exhaust tip, 206info stickers and a few other stickers.
Looking to turn it into a GTI 180 replica.
More to come are - new alloys, GTI 180 front bumper with mesh, m3 mirrors, coilovers, tint the windows and thats it really.
Need some help with the alloys, should I have a go at refurbing my alloys and spraying them white? Or get white OZ racing alloys? Or black with a silver lip? Or GTI 180 alloys? Hmmm need some help.
So that was it when I got it really, got it home and changed a few things. Now a few photos after I gave it a good cleaning. I love seeing it shining but hate the fact that the person who owned it before didn't care about the paintwork so it's so annoying seeing all the wee marks and it really shows with black
So thats it to start with, all comments welcome, good or bad! Thanks

Rear bumper with exhaust trim
Front bumper
SP mesh (all three)
Sport Wings
Phase 2 boot strip
Crystal headlights
180 interior
Carbon interior trims
Leather Binnicle
180 Speedo
And other shizzle
Good start, but no m3 mirrors please

#4: Re: In with the new! Author: dan_206, Location: Bury St EdmundsPosted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:32 pm ---- Got potential but I big no no on the m3 wing mirrors, get some gti ones or something, but that's my opinion.
Sports front and rear bumpers, phase 2 bootstrip and some White OZ superleggeres will look smart on it (oh and drop it 40mm all round ) Last edited by dan_206 on Tue Apr 26, 2011 12:34 pm; edited 1 time in total

get some vortex/atlantis wheels (nom) maybe some genuine mudflaps, they dont look like the proper ones to me, i may be wrong though lol
#6: Re: In with the new! Author: Matt, Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2011 1:59 pm ---- Basically, if you want people on here to like your car you need sp everything and sports panels.
Other than that it's your car, have some imagination

Yeah definitely sits a bit high! It will be lowered! But its hard to persuade my dad when he's a manager of a Charles Hurst Peugeot, he doesn't like me coming home with lowered cars! lol Listens to too many story's of boys with cuts springs crashing!

306 dturbo's over here have the springs cut/ took out and resting on the bumpstops and lowered 2-3 nicks. Looks terrible.
#17: Re: In with the new! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 1:22 am ---- Yeah definitely coillies! Don't get paid until another 6 weeks though!
#18: Re: In with the new! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 2:51 pm ---- Just a quick simple update, not much but more to come when I get paid.
What do you think of the yellow? I think it's the best colour that would go with the car
#19: Re: In with the new! Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 11:29 am ---- You don't need SP everything, GTi everything, phase 2 everything to make a 206 look nice...
anyway... looks like a good base, if it was mine i'd have all the stickers/badges off the back and lower it asap...
yellow callipers work for me...

Having a fertile imagination is where a lot of people go wrong.
#21: Re: In with the new! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 4:07 pm ---- Yeah the badges are coming off lol maybe keep a sticker or 2. Yeah it will be lowered at some stage and undecided on what rims to get. Really want a set of white OZ's they will look mint!
#22: Re: In with the new! Author: GTINI, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Tue May 24, 2011 3:03 pm ---- Right just a silly wee update...
Took some of the gay sticks off the back and de-badged the back. There was too much going on so had to be changed.
Front Cupra R splitter then arrived so i started spraying it gloss back, pics aren't great but its hard to get pics of it. But anyway do you think I should put the splitter on that bumper anyway or wait for my GTI front bumper or just put it on then take it off when I get my GTI bumper? What do people think?
In the middle of spraying
Done, I think it came out pretty darn well.
#23: Re: In with the new! Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Tue May 24, 2011 11:35 pm ---- if you're definitely getting a sports bumper wait and put it on that, if you don't know when you're getting one then put it on you're current bumper you can always take it off!
Rear looks better less busy i'd look for a phase 2 boot strip now...
#24: Re: In with the new! Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue May 24, 2011 11:49 pm ---- would it not have been worth cutting the excess plastic off the splitter and first so you dont scratch the paint off when you do it? unless youre keeping them bits sticking up?
