thanks mate, it certainly was the find of the century with it being only 20mins from my house
#4: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 3:23 pm ---- £1800 is deffo a bargain dude
#5: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 4:27 pm ---- Looks good dude, how does it compare to your old GTI had it by it's ears yet lol
#6: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 4:40 pm ---- looking good mate cant wait to see it
#7: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 4:41 pm ---- it certainly drives alot better than my old gti and the ride is so smooth which surprises me as the car does look lowered but it glides over any bumps. No not put my foot down yet mate, taking my time to get used to her.
1 thing I am curious about, is there a switch to make the mirrors fold in when you lock the car? Seen it on my brothers but when I lock mine they stay as normal
#8: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 5:21 pm ---- You need to get the BSI option enabled for that my old one did it but my current has that option disabled.
You can still do it manually though by twisting the adjuster ( :

Yeah there's a few things you can get enabled
I'm 99.9% sure mine did it on lock on my old one, it was only getting in to this one that I noticed things lol
#12: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 6:18 pm ---- I'm gonna look into that then because that would be good I normally fold mine in every time I park it somewhere manually so this will save all that p**sing about with the switch each time
#13: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 2:19 pm ---- well a good project thread always starts with a good wash, so it was only right that I wash my new 180, still needs a full polish but that can wait for another day
noticed a few things which need to be sorted, sp grille has come away from a clip, washer jets seen better day's, front lion badge and sp fuel could be doing with spraying black
#14: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: shell-vt, Location: durhamPosted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 4:10 pm ---- looks really nice, will you br getting a gt front bumper for it..
#15: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 4:33 pm ---- No, its staying original as possible so only a cupra splitter will be added exterior wise

Can't belive about the price you paid for it, in Croatia you can't buy used GTI 180 for less than 5000 €.
#20: Re: MattyP's 180 Project Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 5:16 am ---- I'd just leave the tailgate badging as it is. Debadging is what penniless students that are desperate to modify something do.

The tailgate looks good as it is IMO but if you want to remove the badge go for it...
ATM it's the same as mine just the lion and GTi180 badge.

maybe 1 day it will be removed mate but in all honestly it does look good with the lion badge.
Jamie when you got those mounts did you get 2 for the backbox? When my brother fitted his janspeed, noticed the backbox had 2 mounts
#25: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 06/11/12 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 7:44 am ---- managed to order a set of new washer jets as the old units looked a bit grubby, this wknd will see more buying for the 180, hopefully a new lion badge for it be sprayed, super pro mount ready for the janspeed system and also a set of peugeot mud guards front & rear

I've got 2 but haven't fitted the second yet as the stock one on the left hadn't gave up and the new one gave no play from the rear bumper but I'll be putting it on when it does and replacing my middle mount with the powerflex item I have under my sink lol

Thanks mate, the car is certainly clean and want to keep it that way although my mind is in overload as to whether fit sp arches, what colour to do calipers/engine bay, stick with the sp front grille which was sprayed black but needs tidying or buy a zunsport black alloy grille or keep the original headlights or swap for morrettes
#30: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 06/11/12 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Nov 11, 2012 1:32 pm ---- so been toying on what changes to make with the 180 in terms of the front lighting, feel with the wheels being black and the front badge being sprayed black in 2 wks the car may look out of place keeping the original headlights so toying with the below idea or morettes

Where did you get that picture from like what did you put in google toget it?
#36: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 06/11/12 Author: JamieM, Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 10:04 am ---- Have I missed something?
Bonnet bras aren't for a 'look'. I thought they were for a purpose.
#37: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 06/11/12 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 11:34 am ---- Dan I think I just typed in 206 gti 180 or it may have been from a member off here
Jamie, your right the bra is for a purpose but I have no intention of fitting it to my 180
front lights are staying original now was getting petrol this morning and was staring at the car while waiting to pay and couldn't stop smiling at the look just got to decide whether to replace the black sp grille with a stainless steel grille or get the zunsport black front grille
Hopefully will be getting some seat covers for xmas and a janspeed system after xmas
#38: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update page 3 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 6:39 am ---- Only a small update on the 180 due to paying my brother back and saving up for xmas
Recently bought a sp fuel cap and front lion badge to have sprayed black. Today my new rear lights arrived but can't fit them since their my xmas from my brother lol
#39: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update page 3 Author: danlouiee, Location: Plymouth, DevonPosted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:01 am ---- Not sure if you realise matty but...
Thanks to Dan I now know a little bit more about my awesome 180 and is glad that it was owned by another 206info member before the previous owner who I bought it from
#41: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - latest touch Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 1:44 pm ---- since your not officially an info member without one of these I thought i'd best order one and will be fitted this wknd hopefully
debating where to put it as i got a few other stickers lined up
#42: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - couple of goodies Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 7:55 am ---- since it's xmas, thought I would treat the 180 to a few pressies, black crystal side repeaters and oem mudflaps, hope to fit them as soon as the weather clears up

#46: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - couple of goodies Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Jan 05, 2013 8:38 am ---- gave the 180 a well deserved clean this morning, this gave me an opportunity to fit my side repeaters and my info sticker, was going to fit my new rear lights but had to leave the nuts with a bit of wd40 as they are really tight and I forgot there's not much room for large hands lol also debadged the tailgate of the lion badge and personally I like it alot more!!
As the car stands at the mo;
new side repeaters, crystal black
info sticker and tax disc holder (already on car when purchased)
I have no idea what the green hexagon sticker means so if anyone does know i would be interested to find out please.
I also got a set of richbrook seat covers from my nan, people will hate them but I really wanted them to protect the leather and alcantara
I was hoping to get my janspeed this wknd too but due to tax end of the month it will have to wait until next payday, in the mean time I aim to fit my alpine hu with stalk adaptor, fit my rear lights and peugeot oem rear mudflaps Last edited by MattyP on Tue Feb 18, 2014 11:47 am; edited 1 time in total

carbon wrapped ash tray cover
sp upper grille inserts, these will be painted black to match the bumper grille

also painting the upper sp grilles using smooth black hammerite spray, touch wood they'll turn out ok, if not they'll just go to the bodyshop to be sprayed
Might possibly have a janspeed in under 2 wks, chap who bought luke saunders' old system is selling up so couldn't really say no when he offered it to me and can finally be rid of the horrible banging noise the back box makes

Cheers mate, would really appreciate it will be after the typhoon kit but certainly in no rush as it'll be powdercoated black before fitting. Is he a member on here or will be joining up?

So if he doesn't it might not be till the summer time. I've told him about this site however its most likely he will just tell me to post it up for him so I'll keep you in the loop mate

went to fit my rear lights to be confronted with a dilemma, they bloody didn't come with any bulbs
I can't be arsed to remove the bulbs from my ph2 lights, was going to order some silvatec or rainbow indicator bulbs anyway

Personally I hate fake carbon wrap but I guess it's a cheap alternative. I'd consider carbon dipping after what Luke showed me the other day.
Nice lights though and the car looks good overall Matt.

It might happen but I doubt it'll be noticeable.
It was only £10 for complete ashtray inc delivery so was a bargain but i think i might have to have a chat with luke ref carbon dipping.
the sooner i can get the lights on the better

#56: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 09/01/13 new parts Author: JamieM, Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2013 1:07 pm ---- Just realised they are the upper sp grilles that are hidden lol
The video I saw on CF dipping makes it look real. If it's as good as it looks in the videos and is a fair bit cheaper than real CF I'd go for it.
I'm a fan of stock lights but those aftermarkets are ones I'd buy :).

#75: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 03/02/13 :) Author: JamieM, Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2013 7:11 pm ---- White Team D's wouldn't go with the theme imo.
It would look nice but... all the black and then white wheels?
I'm opting for either black or anthracite team d's next time if I cba. I think that would be more appropriate for your look but it's only my opinion it's your car :).

It would but then Uz has got the above wheels in gloss black and I wouldn't want the same because then our cars would like identical, these however might look alright in gloss black
I think the black team d's would suit yours Jamie, another guy called James had the same on his agean 180 and looked really smart
#77: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 03/02/13 :) Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Feb 11, 2013 9:39 am ---- well last week I dropped off my fuel cap and wiper arm cover to be colour coded so today decided to wash the car and fit the parts

#78: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update pg6 - slight mishap Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Feb 17, 2013 9:35 am ---- For those who may have seen my thread in free chat, I came back to the car after work last week to find the passenger mirror partially separated from its base , the mirrors had been folded in so obviously a s**t driver not concentrating on what he/she was doing, even worse is that they never left a note (they wouldn't anyway) and there is no cctv in the car park.
the damage at first glimpse
I was able to t-cut these out but there are still some marks that couldn't be removed, then decided to wash the car this afternoon and noticed once it was dried there is a vertical crease in the passenger door about 6" long, so along with the bonnet, drivers side I now need to have the passenger side resprayed, so much for a clean 180 lol

cheers mate, really takes the p**s tbh, only had the car less than 4 months and I always ensure it's clean and parked where other cars can't really touch it but even though the car park is not run by the local council but has allocated bays for the store where i work none of them are allocated for staff only

#85: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 03/03/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Mar 03, 2013 8:00 am ---- @ PezHdi - afraid not mate, yeah the mudflaps do look awesome, you can get them peugeot or if your really lucky, off ebay, I paid £20 from peugeot for the fronts and about £26 for the rear, the part no.s are 9603L4 and 9603K9
@ Rttam - i do hope so mate although it's still quite clean since i washed her on monday, hopefully after tomorrow I can get more things for her ready for mod mania and autosport
#86: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 03/03/13 Author: Resist, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 1:49 pm ---- Looks really good. I think the headlights would look good if they were masked black, would suit the whole theme of the car I think.
Just my opinion.
The car still looks very good though.
#87: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - update 03/03/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:22 pm ---- I am still considering what to do with the headlights, I have had masked headlights on a moonstone but they got issues of misting up inside, the other is morettes but only for use in summer

@DanT cheers mate, started to strip the front end this morning, never even attempted to remove the headlights before and am well chuffed with myself right now
Will get some proper pics up on monday once she's had a good wash
#112: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 25/5/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat May 25, 2013 5:41 am ---- well today i've started on changing the front end and by doing it i've completely surprised myself as this is the 1st time i've ever taken the lights off on my own
anyway here's the progress so far, just have the bumper to remove with the help of rttm later
first essential piece of equipment
#113: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 26/5/12 New Front End Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun May 26, 2013 10:46 am ---- So with the help of rttm we managed to fit all the new parts for the 180, definitely looking alot better although the passenger headlight is doing my head in and you'll see why in 1 of the pics
Had a quick play with the bra
Toying with the idea that the car needs to go a bit lower now
#114: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 26/5/12 New Front End Author: DanT, Location: Torbay, EnglandPosted: Sun May 26, 2013 4:07 pm ---- Yeah that gap between the wing and headlight is a bit weird? Im guessing thats what you meant. Looking good otherwise though mate!
