#1: E.M.C Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:15 am ---- Right here we go.
2003 206 SW 1.4HDi XT
Started totally standard
Even had a mini disc player with changer! lol
1st mod was to sort out some wheels.
Boss XL300 with 205/40/17 tyres.
My friend went to collect them and when I got them I was very disappointed. Chrome peeling worst than advertised!
Then I got a SP replica fuel cap and a pug 1007 short aerial. Painted my drums black and also my front callipers red .
Then was to get my ICE. Got a kenwood headunit which I can use my USB stick, edge front comps and alpine type e 10" sub with matching amp.
Anyway in the mean time got my windows tinted.
Dark smoke on rears. They will be re done in the next few weeks as I was not happy with the finish. Also fitted a black sunstrip.
Then I got myself some wind deflectors from Welsh Ben, also dark smoke.
Fitted a momo Raptor gearknob.
SP pedals
Got a set of crystal headlights given to me. Now I have Osram Nightbreaker bulbs with SMD sidelights.
back onto steels
whilst waiting for my new wheels
Debadged rear except for lion which will eventually be going gloss black.
Dare ST in Graphite 205/40/17
Flip key thanks to Mikey2uk
with pug badge
Here's how it stood the other week

#2: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:19 am ---- Yesterday got around to fitting my cupra R front splitter and fitted my valeo headlight wiring looms so I actually get main beam to stay on
Plans are now : -
repaint drums and maybe callipers
redo window tints.
Collecting my old wheels and going to refurb them myself
To be honest I am not sure where to go next. Haven't got a lot of money so it might just stay like this for a while but I am happy where it is now.
COMMENTS PLEASE GUYS
#3: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:36 pm ---- Oh yeah also fitted a boost gauge

#5: Re: 206SW Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:41 pm ---- looks good mate! Like the second set of wheels too!
#6: Re: 206SW Author: drew206sw, Location: linclonshirePosted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 2:16 pm ---- what about a spoiler?
the only spoiler ive seen available for the SW is the one on the Esquiss website. but Ecosse can order it in. for like £200+
same as the Devil backbox for the SW, £260ish should have got a full turbo back system.
Dan, the front looks good with the splitter has anyone with a GT bumper got a splitter?
#9: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:50 pm ---- Not sure if it would fit the GT bumper, but I cut down 2 inches either side. Still haven't got the number plate on
Thanks about the wheels. Still not sure if I like them but everyone has said they suit the car so happy days.
Just need to try and get my show set ready
#10: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 1:50 pm ---- Well bit of progress.
Must say a big thanks to Mikey telling me how to remove it and UZ for the inspiration
Just got to wait for them to cure. Wilkinsons Gloss black FTW
Not going with show wheels, going to lower it before Modified Nationals.

#21: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:47 pm ---- Little update!
Look what arrived at my house this evening
Plasma gauges baby!
Just need to sell my old one to get my A pillar pod
That is all
#22: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 1:17 pm ---- Sold my boost gauge, and my alpine sub.
Got a new Edge 12" active for the moment til I get my street basser setup.
Just need to order my custom pod for my new gauges.
Hopefully have the car lowered before ISTS. Lets pray to the car gods!
#23: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:51 am ---- Ordered my A Pillar pod so won't be long til I got my new gauges in.
That Edge sub is such a set up from my Alpine, tuned well good to play Dubstep Can't wait for my streetbasser setup though
Lowering it is looking further and further away. Just see what happens.
Tax is due the end of the month. A WHOLE £35
#24: Re: 206SW Author: tb206hdi, Location: DenmarkPosted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 7:20 am ---- Is that 1007 antenna an original one from pug? When I browse servicebox I can only see the long ones for the 1007 :/

PM'd.
Well got my A Pillar gauge mount. Going to fit the gauges in soon and wire them all up. Will power it from a 9v battery to show everyone.
Will need to drill my A Pillar tomoz to get the boost pipe and wires through
Can't wait.
Happy with my sub set up now.
Roll on ISTS, where my car will be a demo car on the trade stand
#26: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 4:27 pm ---- Well I decided to just fit it :
Fitted - Flash
Fitted - no flash
what you all think
#27: Re: 206SW Author: Ruffy_206, Location: BristolPosted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 6:20 pm ---- looks mint matey how much did it all set you back? did u just screw into the a pillar
#28: Re: 206SW Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 6:25 pm ---- Well didn't cost me loads because i get stuff trade and my mate bought my old one.
Most expensive part was the A pillar pod as it was a custom one for a 206.
Got the pod off ebay for £32 delivered.
Gauges then are £22 for volt and £25 for boost.
So all together would cost - £80
Slots down the bottom, then the rubber seal goes over it and a screw at the top. Had to cut a hole in the A pillar for the wires and boost pipe to come through.
#29: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:53 pm ---- THE END?
Well 2 big things.
1. This car is going to be used as a demo car on Section-59/Topgear Swansea's trade stand. So see this at some of the major shows this year.
2. As the begging of the post said this is the end of all mods. The car will stay like this for as long as I own it. I have my reasons, it might even be going back to standard.
If you want to know why just PM me and I might tell you.
Thanks for looking and hope you visit me on our tradestand.
1st show ISTS.
#30: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Fri Mar 26, 2010 2:48 pm ---- Must say the gauges are much better than I am thought

#34: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: Nimminz, Location: Durham, NE England, UKPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 4:03 am ---- car is looking canny, sometimes i think i'd like an SW, all that extra room.
Know what you mean with the paint, few bits of mine has fingerprints on
Guages look brilliant on that a-pillar pod!
#35: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 4:08 am ---- The only real reason why I had the SW is because 1. it's £35 to tax and 2. I like to be different
I love the gauges, the pod looks so good. Can't belive how well it fits, just a shame it costs £30, but money well spent. PSI boost gauge is very responsive and volt gauge bounces with my music The opening ceremony on the gauges is pretty cool as well
Cheers for the comments. Just a shame it's stopped at this point. Would have liked to do a bit more Never mind.
Going to definately keep it for this years show season Last edited by vanman_foci on Sun Mar 28, 2010 4:09 am; edited 1 time in total

Not really. Have a look over know and again at the boost gauge. No point in looking at volts when it's running as it just shows 14 volts even when the bass is pumping. Shows a quick drop when you turn anything on
At night the reflect off the windscreen. the missus says they are too bright but I reckon it's because they are new and higher up

#41: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Sat Apr 17, 2010 2:58 am ---- Got to ISTS, rear door handle outside pop out of the holder inside, and child lock on! not good. Car was full but managed to put it back on And then later that night had a flat battery Ah well
Got a new set lined up. Might even get a set of Subura wheels just to be different
Bought new metal show plates as well and about £100 of AutoGlym so look for my car on the trade stand nice and shiny. Got given a Richie Don promo CD as well so here that blasting out
Hoping to do some more painting before mod nats or even FCS, need to redo my rear black badge as the paint is flaking. Stupid high pressure valeting people! lol
So it's not the end, just a slow process
Bada Bing Bada Boom
#42: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:16 pm ---- Need to change my brakes are there have a massive lip on the disc. Will do them friday evening.
Now the french quality's have come through!
Cluster ain't working properly so the revs don't work properly and I think a tensioner is on the way out!
So thats put a big of a stopper on my plans.
Want to get the car lowered but need the gauge group buy to go through. Need to do loads of painting as well
Ah well keep an eye and see if anythin happens
PEACE

#49: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 2:44 am ---- Well lower crank pulley changed, upper tensioner, new drive belt, oil, oil filter, pollen filter, cost around £250.
New binicle plastic purchased - Cheers ANTIX
New Richbrook gearknob
As most of you have now seen I have purchased a bonnet bra from TWINKY. this is only used for shows or long distance driving, it cannot be kept on because the kids in my street would vandalise it. It's a proper marmatie mod! lol
Whats next?
Well I said it was the end but it's not, just going to be a long process.
FCS I think was my last show this year, possible do Trax but so many things lined up and wedding to pay for plans will be made.
I want to get it a fresh look for 2011.
This will come in the way of new wheels and a loud (hopefully) install
#50: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 3:28 am ---- You should be the one called Twinky and 'I can hook you up with whatever you need' should be your moto
#51: Re: SECTION-59 Demo Car Author: vanman_foci, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Aug 05, 2010 4:51 pm ---- Not that anyone cares. It's been a while.
Needed new tyres and couldn't afford them so swapped my Dare's for a set of these
Brand new 16's with 195/55/16 tyres. So old shagged set for brand new.
Had them on 1 day, drove better, but everytime I looked at it something was right.
So the next day took them off, and reffited my Dares.
Seen a mate who fitted 2 brand new tyres for a bargain of £70 for the pair fitted! the tread pattern looks so aggresive on it
No pics as I ain't paid my bill on my BB but will get pics hopefully next week
THAT IS ALL
