#1: 206GTI #Moonstone Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Sat Jul 06, 2013 5:48 am ---- This is my 206 ive done a few changes since ive had it but only small things that i think make a big difference.
Lowering is definitely next on the cards and then a possibly a janspeed catback.
So it started like this
Pretty standard as you can see
Bought some aero wipers only really because the ones on there were dry and ripped, but it is a cheap but effective upgrade
I then got something done that i think personally every gti spec should have came with from the factory, colour coded bump strips.
Black strips looked good in the 90s..
And some phase 2 rears.
Slight crease down the rear quarter, i will be getting it filled and resprayed and at the same time having the alloys refurbed in a dark grey'ish colour.
But thats all to come id rather get the exhaust first if im honest.
Thats it for now thanks for looking welcome any comments and ideas you might think of

I wish I had done the above to my old moonstone, would have had funds then to boost performance.
Best colour for the gti 137

#8: Re: 206GTI #Moonstone Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:25 am ---- Abit bored of the standard exhaust and engine note, if i have the center exhaust silencer cut out and straight pipe welded in will this make it abit louder? or do i need to change the backbox as well

a nice janspeed system for the 180 will fit mate, if you want, check out my old moonstone project thread, it may give you some ideas

yeah i agree i seen that project all through got some ideas from that especially the wheel colour, its just abit on the expensive side for that janspeed exhaust as i know in reality im not going to have this car for more than a year as ill want a gti180 or something with boost maybe?
so i thought just a cheapy quick mod take out the center silencer might give me abit more grunt : o not sure if it will make a difference

its meant to be a sport exhaust so more free-flowing than the restrictive standard one.. i dont have one though lol
#14: Re: 206GTI #Moonstone Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:29 am ---- Cars been too dirty so just had it cleaned in and out and a recent photo of the new editions - no copying
Got a some maintenance to get done oil, droplinks etc
And ill think about getting it lowered soon so its just sitting above tyre front and back
#15: Re: 206GTI #Moonstone Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Tue Aug 20, 2013 5:53 am ---- Never used this oil before, but Peugeot recommend it so cant be bad for the motor-
£21.35 for 5L which i thought is very cheap so there's the link if anyone wanted it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110...1439.l2649

looked nice until you painted the wheels and fuel cap
#17: Re: 206GTI #Moonstone Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 9:02 am ---- car back in the bodyshop again this weekend or next depending on space, having the crease taken out the rear quarter, car got keyed the other day on the otherside quarter -_- so thats getting done, the very front bottom edge of the bonnet has started to peel and rust so im nipping that straight away, and some paint missing from the bottom of the front bumper where its parked on a low kerb with a bush or something. having it lowered soon after the paints been done cant wait to get rid of the masses of body roll and acceleration and breaking got a bad neck its so looose
#18: Re: 206GTI #Moonstone Author: Diabloreddan, Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 10:00 am ---- What are lowering by dude coilovers or shocks and springs?

not 100% sure yet, i got 15" alloys so i might be able to have eibach sportline springs and have enough drop to satisfy the look i want, or i may need coilovers to get it down more still in the process of deciding

Got a very good friend that i went to school with who is now a panelbeater and his dad owns the garage handy ay? It only cost us the paint lol but it did take us a good saturday mornings work

It will be ruined.
Well fair opinion but i notice you have spent alot of money on yours and obviously have a high standard for your car.
- I dont plan on spending massive £ on this car as i will not get anything back.. as i have seen from mattyp old moonstone project and that car looked amazing in my opinion, so its going to be lowered cheaply but safely as the standard boat setup is knackered, soon after that i will not have anything else i want to change - the alloys will most likely return to a grey anthracite colour to come back to near standard
And as expected likely to be sold on eventually, not really much of a project but ive lost interest in the car as the age and interior rattles feels cheap
