#1: Poor Boys 1.9 D Author: A4L1, Location: Bradford, W YorksPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:22 am ---- Hi, Im new to the forum and recently got my 206.
Shes a 5 door 1.9 LX D which I rescued form the local scrappy!!
Here's a quick pic I took when I got her home (sorry about the crap quality, taken with iphone)
Dont worry about the lexus lights, they came with the car and there not there for long!!
Firts things first, gave it a much needed wash inside and out (sorry no pics) and got my alloys on;
painted the calipers and drums with this
and then I tided up the bay;
then I set about debadging, done the back just waiting for a friend to have some time so he can fill in the front,
thats all for now, let us know what you think!!
#2: Re: Poor Boys 1.9 D Author: A4L1, Location: Bradford, W YorksPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:29 am ---- need to fit this in as well;
any tips on how to get it fitted in a single din slot?
might need to get rid of the air vents or something
thanks, Ali.
#3: Re: Poor Boys 1.9 D Author: martinius88, Location: Rushden, NorthantsPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:40 am ---- You painted the drums red?? Black!!
Yeah I think you will have to remove the vents to fit that in there, not sure how easy that is to do, im sure somebody will tell you, there are a few who have done it on here.
#4: Re: Poor Boys 1.9 D Author: A4L1, Location: Bradford, W YorksPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:00 am ---- Yeah red lol, I wanted them to stand out. I was think about doing them green first but couldn't find any paint didnt want to use a can!
Its definitely not going to be easy but I guess im going to have to do some research first, im alright with wiring it in, just need to find somewhere to put it.
#5: Re: Poor Boys 1.9 D Author: martinius88, Location: Rushden, NorthantsPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:15 am ---- they will defo stand out!!
Yeah like I said a few people have done it, look through the progress threads and then mybe PM the poeple that have done it and find out how the re-routed the vents or just blocked them off or something.
#6: Re: Poor Boys 1.9 D Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:25 am ---- Drums should never 'stand out'
Please tell me you didnt paint your calipers with the wheels still on!? As im sure i can see some blobs of red on the wheel!?

I know they shouldn't stand out but they do look better then being covered in rust, and is it even possible to paint them with the wheels on?

keep in low gears and rev it and it fine. down old b roads u can do between 60-80mph and push it in the corners. my car does over 100 easy. it slow but my mates 1.4 206 can only just get past it. and sum people might not be after speed and just go for looks.
if im rite jordans white 206 is a 1.1 but no1 moans saying it slow because his car is f*****g mint in every way.
