#1: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: iSamTz, Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 12:39 pm ---- Got my hands on a 1.4 8v, It's looking crappy at the moment, things need to be changed and idea's would be appreciated.
First things to do -
Remove the headlight masks (crappy black s***ty things) And replace headlights with crystal h7's
Change the black bumperstrips for ezr silver ones, change the wings and front bumper, back bumper and boot strip for the sports ezr ones (need help on this as I know nothing about the wings???)
Get sports sp grille and bonnet vent
I'm not going to change the engine, I like it standard really, no interest in noise or anything, just looks.
Please any suggestions would be much appreciated as I want it to look mint, but not OTT, at the moment it looks like its been chav bashed. I don't like that.

Main things are:
- Not ideally a race prepared vehicle that requires stickers to show its sponsors
- You probably dont have all the items on the list, so its a bit awkward
- Shopping lists are what seperates Maccy D racers and an enthusiats vehicle
#6: Re: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: iSamTz, Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:00 pm ---- Surely the suggestion would be to remove the stickers on the door.
#7: Re: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: iSamTz, Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:01 pm ---- And money's no real problem for me, I want to do a lot of stuff to this car, It will take time but its a project, the car is sorn and not on the road.. id rather be driving my bmw. its just something that keeps me busy when I'm home from work.
#8: Re: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:21 pm ---- Shopping list on the doors is the stickers....?
You choose to work on this rather than your BMW?! f*** the pug, crack on with the beemer (i cant say jack s**t though i must admit)
#9: Re: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: iSamTz, Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:23 pm ---- In all fairness, excuse me for being a bit ignorant but I don't want to mess with anything on the beemer its brand new
My bad, I though you meant that I shouldn't buy the stuff I want to buy.. I know what you mean now and yes ill be removing them stickers..

The idea is, do this car so its the s**t and have it as my second show car, first being a gto pontiac, which is a bit of a heap as it stands..
#11: Re: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:40 pm ---- So you have a brand new BMW, pontiac GTO but you bought a 1.4 5 door 206?!
Just why man?! I would have bought a version 4 or 5 impreza for the cost of a 206 tbh......
#12: Re: Project thread, Restoring and changes. 1.4 8v Author: iSamTz, Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:46 pm ---- Like I say its a project car, besides the 206 is going to be for the nephew when he passes his test...
No interest in impreza's nor evo's just don't like them and plus would be no good on my nephews first insurance quote..
Like I say the GTO is a heap at the moment but in a coupple of years it should be back to former glory.. look in the photoshoot gallery for the pics of my 116
