#1: Creating my 206 [DSWR] [Update: 29/03/14] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:14 am ---- Hey, everyone. Thought it'd be a bit of fun to do a little show and tell on my 206 from how it used to be on day one and to how it looks now. I took A LOT of photos from literally everything I've done so maybe interesting for those who have ideas and want to try some of this stuff.
Here she is on day one. Just got her home from the dealers about 6/7 months ago.
Like a lot of people it seems, I wanted my car to look a lot like a 206 GTi 180 even though it's a poxxy 1.1. As well as a lot of people, here's the goal (and probably the exact same photo they looked at!)
On day two (ffs lol), my clutch went. Sadly, I didn't do it myself, but, had a friend do it instead as they had the room and equipment to do so at the time. Sadly, they left the door open, or something, noticed rear passenger side's floor and seat was soaked once being returned to me.
Didn't fancy just letting it "dry out" as the smell of wet would linger and probably get some fandabbydosey moss, etc... THE STRIP BEGINS!
Being as much of a genius as I (ain't), I thought I may as well sort out the sound system too. We'll get to that shortly.
The wagon arriving at my garage looking rather silver and dirty.
Because of the water getting into the carpet and not just on mats (didn't have any at the time!), I had to strip out the carpet of the car (oh the joys).
Started off removing the seats...
starting to notice how dirty the car really is! showroom only cleaned the bits you can see, haha! this is well worth doing for those who have the time!
yuck!
hats off to peugeot for fitting the carpet, they did a good job! had to cut it slightly in some areas to get it out as it was properly fitted! you can also see where the water is as well now slowly going moldy!
started cleaning!
mint!!

#3: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:28 am ---- finally with the car all back together, it's time to focus a bit on the outside of the car rather than the innards (which I still haven't finished! more on that later)
thought I'd start somewhere easy and paint the door trims! (oh god) door trims removed!
proudest moment of my life incoming! my first EVER time painting and I've managed to do a good job, haha! plastic primer, mixed paint to match car and lots and lots of laquer!
back on the car!
next up was the bumper strip! had to fully remove it off the car which was a shock:\ was hoping for a simple pull off job, haha!
due to total laziness, I masked up the bumper and didn't remove the strip. Newspaper and masking tape is the best! managed to get all visible parts as well, more success!
little peugeot gang at college! (guess who can't reverse park, cough black pug!)
next up was the 17" vortex alloys! managed to pick a set up for 120£ on all worn tyres (needed replacing). Front two were scuffed as you can see in the picture below.
four brand new tyres later and I'm seeing them on the car for the first time!
while I was at it I removed the "fancy" zest badges that peugeot had blessed the car with
here's the wagon with all four 17's on... she's screaming "LOWER ME, LOWERRR MEEEEE!!" bloody peugeot suspension! am I the first person to monster truck a pug? lol
#4: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: southwestchap, Location: DevonPosted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:36 am ---- my god! look at that hight!
Cant say I've seen one that high.
As you say needs an absolute beating with the lowering stick
Coming on well though!
#5: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:40 am ---- bit more painting time and then for lowering! time to sort that awful black bumper strip!:) same idea as last time, paper and masking tape, woohoo!!
nice fan, baby! removed the front pug badge + plastic strip for better papering!
newed up! it's a bit like a BMW artcar but more boring and full of cars for sale.
time to get scared for c*** ups!
doing the door handles too!
stole my nans hairdryer!
door handles done but could do with a polish to bring out the shine!
front bumper done and looking weird without the middle grill!
not a bad match!
hot!!!
now for suspension!
this took me off the road FOR A WEEK. WORST JOB EVER.
It took me 5 days. I now understand why it costs £300+ to lower cars like this. Some parts were being stubborn and wouldn't come off. Replaced Lower arms, track rod ends and anti roll bar links for new parts and a few others I've probably forgot like lower arm pinch bolt..
I purchased coilovers (so that's springs, dampeners, shocks) for the front which allow me to lower from 20mm to 100mm. Took about a day to get everything back together, but four to get it apart. Even had to mess with the drive shaft on the bugger just to get the coilovers under the arch!
For the rear you'll find the car will normally "self adjust" relatively as long as your rear end hasn't seized. So it'll sit a lot lower than standard once you've adjusted the front. I replaced the shocks on the rear to help it out because it was being lowered anyhow. You just adjust the torsion bars on the rear which isn't too much trouble (unless they're seized, which mine were!!!)
bye wheels!
oh
me stalking 206info for tips on what I'm supposed to be doing!! lol
the nightmare continues (even in the rain!)
about time!! but still not done!
stopped taking pictures from there on as it was really annoying me but if you want to see how to adjust the rear there's an excellent guide here..
friend dropped off my spoiler (which needs painting, haha!)
completely lowered!

just updated a bit more! still hunting pictures of the last few things I've done!! a lot more to do but she's getting a lot nicer:) happy she's not a monster truck anymore, haha!
Just be happy I'm only showing the changes I've made and not everything that's broke! we'd have a never ending thread then. Gear linkages just went last night after driving the car through a 15" high flooded road!! (I didn't know it was that high until it came upto the top of my wheels!!) to be fair, she did get through it all though! went through about 3 flooded roads where landrovers and other cars were turning around! she weren't happy about it but glad it didn't get too badly damaged! had no choice but to keep going as otherwise it would have probably ended up with water in the engine.
here she is sitting at home being abandoned until I get the parts from the peugeot dealership. (like my tow strap?? got her home!)

No I'm the owner of the green Peugeot, I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave my car alone now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you. ....JOKES
Just business mate, what about yourself is this your first year? If not you might have seen me in the car park or something had a blue GTI 180 plate 'L5 UKS' I'm always around Solihull so if you see that plate give us a wave aha

Haha! The green pug belongs to someone in my IT class!:) rare colour and strange that it has blue seats! the cars been in his family since 1999 so he's got a little relic, haha!
Business was the floor above me so probably haven't seen you about! I've never seen L5 UKS sadly but I'm going to keep a look out! If you see "R19 DSW" that's the pug! I'm getting the plates changed over tomorrow:) I'll definitely give you a wave or a honk if I see you about!
PS: I found you on facebook through some mutual friends, haha!
#11: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 12:33 pm ---- update: just sorted out the gear linkage and its running a dream again! going to sort out my private plate tomorrow and hopefully find some time to paint my GTi spoiler and get it on. Here's a quickie of it with the new plates (removed again now as they're not yet registered to the car)
Apologies on the dirty car! I need some mudflaps or arch extensions due to the wheels being out so far from the 5mm spacers. Got some lovely oil on the front of the car too from replacing the gear linkage and also aligning the wheels with lasers.
Quick pic so you can see how flush the wheels are. Means anything but straight wheels and you get lovely dirt splattered all up the side of the car:\ will get round to it!
#12: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 1:23 pm ---- Looks far too low. Why not raise it a bit and make it look more purposeful and it will drive better.

Addaz pretty much summed it up. I'm 18, I've got a 1.1, it's slow, I've got to look good somehow, haha! I intend on getting a GTi 180 next so maybe then I'll keep it at a reasonable height but this poor bugger is staying slammed!
The car actually handles pretty much the same and doesn't get much scrubbing unless you're taking speed bumps at 20+
#15: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Wed Oct 23, 2013 6:19 pm ---- Update:- went out today, crunching going in and out of gears. Does this more when its warm than when its cold. Inspected it over, gear linkage is fine, clutch is fine. Only started after my incident with the puddle. I thought gear linkage solved this, it somewhat did, gears flow better but you can feel them being refused into place fully. Get the odd problem when its cold, but a lot more common when warm. 100% a gearbox problem. I'm going to check how much oil is in it just in case its got too much, or too little. I did empty the system and put 1.9 litres (correct amount for my gearbox, used correct oil too) but I'll just double check to see if there's more, or needs topping up. If not, looks like I'm dropping my gearbox out and getting dirty!
#16: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Thu Oct 24, 2013 3:08 pm ---- Update! car once again actually moving!:\ gearbox had about 6 litres worth of oil in it!? not really sure how that's possible, I'm guessing its oil and water or something! no water in the rest of the engine which is mad! confused but not going to argue, emptied the gearbox again and refilled to the correct amount!
Finally registered my registration plate and gave the car a good b******ng to make sure its working, haha! you can get a good view on how low the car is here too as previous photos weren't the best!:) hopefully painting the spoiler tomorrow and will have it on for the weekend:)

Cheers, Pal! Glad you like it! I nearly wrote it off today! Was on a cross roads (X road), I was coming up preparing to stop, was red lights and they just switched over to orange (and to green by the time I was just passing at a steady 30mph) and had a total genius (AMBULANCE TOO!) come belting across just missing the front of me!! didn't have sirens or lights on, if he did, I'd have drove with caution making sure I weren't going to get in his way. Madness! It's a blind X roads, so you can only see the one way

#24: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Wed Nov 13, 2013 12:49 pm ---- I'm back again with more modifications! I've decided my next car will be a GTi 180 so for now, I'm aiming on modifications that will be able to be moved across cars. So interior modifications, etc.
I've finally began work on doing the roof interior. Decided to be original and wrap it in black leather.
As always, not everything went to plan... For some odd reason, unlike EVERY OTHER CAR (GRRRRR), it was glued up. Had to give it some man power to get it down and....
Part of it stayed up their due to the glue, obviously, I couldn't rip it down then the roof lining itself wouldn't be flat but curve inwards. So I left it up there. Noticed later on in the day my roof had a massive dent in it (yay)
With my trusty feet, I pulled a jezza and kicked it back out flush. Who needs a body shop when you got me!
action shot! wrapping the roof lining.
roof lining finished and back in.
the linings you can see are glue as I removed the old roof lining and then wrapped above. I'm in between thoughts on whether to leave the other bits white/creamy. I somewhat like it (especially the rear shot). Will probably do the sun visors and the A pillars at least.

Cheers, Pal:) glad so many people are liking it. Stil got my spoiler in the garage, needs painting and putting on. Bad weather so haven't had time. May try get to it this weekend:) Your "more door" actually looks pretty good! I like it:) should consider removing the B pillar vinyl and replacing it with gloss black. It's next on my list:)

not a fan of morrettes looking into getting some angel eyes for christmas.
Just fitted some HID H7's on the front today as my subwoofers killed the front lights. Had my subs at full power and the lights were flickering on and off (major power drain, haha) and suddenly they both decided they didn't want to come on anymore. No reason to post any pictures as there's not much to see, still, brighter lights are always good:)
Had a little bump though. Reversed out of a carpark and caught a black railing at night:\ was low down and scraped on my rear bumper and brought some of the paint off... More painting for me to do! suppose I can do it at the same time as the spoiler, still a shame, though:\
On the plus! I was driving down the road and managed to set a few alarms off with my subwoofers, made my day that, hah.

They do suite some cars, think they'd look alright on a black one mind you. I think chrome angel eyes or the phase 2's really suite the silver pugs:)
Heres a shot of the damage:( slight damage to the bottom of the bumper too, will get that sorted by a professional. Got a few dents to get took out, so may as well get someone on touch ups here and there too, aha.
You can see where I've painted, that part of the bumper is just the standard black plastic, so it just bumped and nothing else really happened, minus the paint, all cracked up, rubbed my hand over and it all shattered off:\
Will be doing some more painting soon! sadly I've left the car at a friends after a night on the town, so no painting for me til the weekend, haha.

Cheers, Pal! glad it's getting a lot of love:) I've slightly raised the rear as I was having problems with passengers in the back (causing the wheels to introduce themselves with the arches:\ = ruined 1 tyre already). I've got some new rear shocks that are A LOT harder, pretty much next to no movement in them, so may install them and drop it back down... It's what I'd say is "GTi" low. I'll swap the shocks and slam it when I get the time. Priority is dent removal and painting while it's snowing. Will lower it a bit more when I get some free time. Got so much to do, haha.

Yeah, I know! just a shame! my funds are low and this stuff ain't helping! I actually put £5 in my tank the other day, that'll probably get me from the petrol station to over the road, lol.
Purchasing a few more goodies for the car. Trying out a cherrybomb for the laugh on my car. For the 30 or so quid it costs, it'll be interesting to see the difference. I've got a stock exhaust and it looks pretty silly on a GTi wannabe, so I wanted something with a sporty tip and a bit of noise.
#35: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Tue Nov 19, 2013 12:15 pm ---- another little update.
Went to halfords for some cans of paint to hopefully, paint my spoiler and bumper... £50 later, I had enough paint, lol.
Thought I'd start on my little bump, I decided to get some filler primer, thought I could just sand down one spot and hopefully, then just touchup a nice smooth paint job...
What I forgot was, I'm not very good at painting, lol.
Laquer went weird, and it was a different colour, but, it was the right colour for the car. Originally the bumper was a slight tonne off, was supposed to repaint it anyhow, suppose this means that I'll be taking the bumper off friday and painting it completely...yay. Suppose it looks "better" than with a black bit, ugh. Bring on friday.
Next up, spoiler.
Seeing as I was painting friday, I thought I'd do the spoiler then too. It seemed like an easier job to do while on the car, so I've plopped it on.
the spoiler is moonstone blue, before anyone asks why am I painting it, haha. It shows blue in the right angle, which is horrid as I've got aluminium silver, hah.
HOPEFULLY friday, you'll have some pictures of my bumper fixed, and the correct colour, same with the spoiler:)

I've scrapped the idea of doing it myself. I'm taking it to a bodyshop:) will have dents removed, scratches, blemishes and all painting done so it looks great when I crash it in the snow, haha.
Heres some better shots of the spoiler, in the dark, as it looks silver then, aha.

Wish I went to the bodyshop first instead of wasting £50 on paint, haha. Will be returning what hasn't been used tomorrow, haha:) How much do you think a bodyshop will charge for spoiler and that bumper strip being redone? shouldn't be too much I'd imagine? I'm having them painted, then my grandads getting me in with one of his friends who said he'll do the touch ups and dents on what's needed.
#40: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Tue Dec 03, 2013 4:41 pm ---- Hey, everyone! been awhile but I'm back! Had the paintwork done, brilliant job! may get the bits I've painted redone by this bloke, he did a cracking job!
Complete bumpstrip repainted,
spoiler painted (sorry about the frost)
and a big fat 206info sticker! it's not a wonky sticker, it's in the proper peugeot font, so the 206 is bigger than the info bit... May remove it.. Not sure yet, haha

Not much for me to do now this year! Going to wait for my exhaust to be posted to me. Hopefully fit that and attempt to lower the car a tad more and that'll be it til new years I'd imagine!
#43: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:21 pm ---- Another update:) so the cars had a few things done now. First up, got a new exhaust! Was originally planning on getting a stainless steel created but seemed a bit over the top for a poxxy 1.1! maybe an idea for the next car! so I went for a hated popular, cherrybomb! against popular beliefs of this forum, it's not that loud! it has a slight rumble, doesn't really deafen you and only makes noise when you floor it off! just what I wanted! I pretty much only went after a new exhaust so that the rear bumper would have a nice exhaust sitting out of it, instead of the current little one poking around, didn't look very good.
I'll try post a video soon enough of what it sounds like for anyone else thinking of getting one:)
next up was lowering the car! as previously mentioned, I had new shocks, so I've got them on, and have now dropped the rear end accordingly, lowered the front a bit more too so it's looking a lot smarter!
as I work with vinyl, I managed to get ahold of some transparent blackish/grey vinyl, and applied them to my rear lights as a little tester, I sort of like it! still planning on changing the rear lights completely, but that won't be til after christmas.
front shot now it's slammed:)
I've also took an air filter off one of my karts, and put it on my car! was for a laugh mainly, but then noticed it actually sounded pretty good. Will get a picture and a video soon:)

Somewhat, I've had to make a custom mount, etc to have it fit how I want.. It's on for now, but I need to do a few more modifications as it's currently hung by cable ties:) lol

Dropped the car as low as possible, arches aren't rubbing, but you can't get your finger in, so there's literally no gab, lol. The torsion bars are sitting on the bump stops, goes to show how low it really is.. Going to be putting 15" steelies on after christmas while I refurb my wheels... 4mph on 17's, god help me when I put them on, haha:)
#49: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: dan1995206, Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2013 1:17 pm ---- Ahh okay seriously low then! I like it a lot! !

#51: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 8:05 pm ---- thanks everyone for the kind words! been hiding for awhile, but I'm back!
jacked the car up in the usual standard...
decided to replace disks, calipers, etc for more meatier and nicer looking ones...
Was cold and tired so haven't got a photo yet, but I'll add one when the wheels next off (which it probably will be soon lol)
soo... fancied a change from other silver peugeots. So far, mine looked a bit "standard". okay, lower than most, but other than that, it was a bit common.
put on a 180 fuel cap, will get it sprayed the same colour as my car when we get some warmer weather:)
then, thanks to my friends up in manchester... 2 hours way may I add! we began something fun and new! please, ignore my fog light! big puddle on the motorway and it's got in there! will be fixing tomorrow, haha!
the plan is gloss black roof, and also top of the tailgate, as I felt just the roof itself didn't suite the car... Then I wanted B pillars as well over the standard "matte" like pillars.
I'm also getting my hands on some GTi 180 / Gran Turismo wing mirrors, fully glossed to match:)
next up are rear lights! mine were cool, but light didn't really come through... So removing them and getting some fly eyed!
another thing while doing my roof, was how BAD the roof railings next to it looked after... So, may as well do these too!
nice shot of the roof and also the top of the tailgate!
That's pretty much the car as it sits currently. Got my wing mirrors in the post, also ordered team heko wind deflectors... Should turn up monday or tuesday:)! tempted to tint the rear three windows, not sure yet, will do them myself so not too expensive... We'll see.
Tempted to also de-wiper, may take it off and give it a run for a week and see how I feel. I don't really use the wiper, you get a rough idea of what's behind, lol:)
Quickie of the car in the light:-
love how low it sits, makes it look like a toy, haha:)
you'll probably notice my exhaust is gone and the standard is back up... Cutting it up and removing the baffle and other goodies to make it louder! it has a really nice rumble, but its not loud enough to hear over the engine when actually giving it some grief, so needed to fix that;)
Also got a FULL 180 interior, seats, door cards, etc from Shell-VT, so thanks to her for that! should get that sometime this week too:) will keep you updated. Thanks for reading.
#52: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: MrRichmond1995, Location: ChelmsfordPosted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 8:16 pm ---- Really loving the progress on your car Dan!
I'm debadgeing the back of my 206 tomorrow as well as removing my pillar Vinyl and installing my new led 501 bulbs.
I really should make a build log on my 206!
Keep up the good work!

Hey, Harry:) Cheers, Pal! it's coming along nicely! getting to the point where the cars passing past the halfway mark to completion! it'll probably always have something to fiddle with, but it is getting there! may do an engine conversion in the summer and try get a V6 or a 180 engine in there!:) we'll have to see what the future brings!
Deffo do a project page! they're fun to do and let's you visit your old work and see how much you've actually done! great fun!
you'll have to popup tomorrow on facebook and let me know how things go:)
another little update! wing mirrors came today, so fitted them! definetely made the car look a lot smarter! cars really coming together now!
They look massive here, but I suppose I must have small hands, haha!
I think its really coming along! I'm currently looking at painting my bonnet grill gloss black to match... May do something about the head lights and fogs too? I feel now that everything else has been done, the front side just doesn't seem to match the rest of the car. Looking into getting the fronts and fogs masked off:) Hopefully get a few more bits and pieces this week!
#55: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: AndrewR2211, Location: ScotlandPosted: Mon Jan 06, 2014 1:29 pm ---- prefer those tail lights to the ones you had, some transformation to the car, looking really smart, not sure about the black roof and big sticker though, how much did you pay for those mirrors, been trying to get a set for ages

took me a long time too! They're off the gran turismo so they got a lot of fancy extras like being heated, electric folding, etc, etc. I paid £20 per side, so £40. Got them off eBay. It's hard to get drivers side, so I got lucky. The big sticker maybe going, will get some of the smaller ones on each of my rear side windows instead

I am heading to FCS14:) no engine work yet! we do have a GTi 180 engine, but after seeing some V6's. plans may change... As I've said earlier, I've replaced all my brake systems.. I'd have to replace my rear axle for one with brakes, but other than that, this car can have an engine change whenever I get enough free time..
I've JUST removed the sticker and also debadged the rear.. Going to debadge the alloys and also debadge the front upper grill as well.

If I can get on the 206info stand I'll go there:) I haven't yet booked tickets, is it usually best to book early? as I'll do them as soon as next month if required.. I've got vortex alloys so have no centre caps, they're just one piece of metal with badges glued on. Challengers have the centre capped lions. Yeah, £30 for a cap would give me sleepless nights, haha:)

I would suggest splitting your headlights and painting them.
I have fly eyed my fogs which look good. did it on my headlights too but i have morettes. Had to take the fly eye off my normal driving beam as it really reduced what i could see at night!
so if i was you i would split them and paint instead!
also not a fan of the huge sticker, but like everything else!
keep it up

huge sticker is gone:) and I'll avoid fly eye for the front! they look good on the back I reckon! look pretty much black until lights are on then they're as bright as normal, which is perfect as I don't want to cause any issues on the road. I'll look into masking the fronts with a tinted vinyl or something.
anyhow, more modding!
here's the car debadged in the day:) kept the GTi180 badge as they're expensive to replace, lol!
debadged alloys
and now... DEWIPERING!
Yep, decided to take the plunge... As many others have said, they've had the bolt for the wiper seize in meaning they've had to get a hacksaw on it.. I did give it a good go with the hacksaw but mine wasn't good enough! in the end I cut off the wiper and then drilled through the rivets on the inside and then drill the bolt on the outside to make it drop.
finished product:
for anyone curious, I put a piece of metal over the inside to stop rain coming in, then a vinyl'd circle on the outside in gloss black so its unoticable and totally flat.

I am looking into going SP/Zunsport within the next 2 months.. Just getting some money together as they're a tad expensive:) I want to mask my headlights and also my front fogs, but not sure how?? I'm guessing they're not wrapped?
Heres a small update:-
better shot of the rear of my car, debadged (minus my GTi180) and also de-wipered.. looks rather smart I think:)
also a shot of a friends and my pug, he's on small steelies and then there's mine, always makes me chuckle how low it actually is, haha:) may have to get a splitter!
also finally got my team heko wind deflectors!! been dying to get these bad boys!
While I was at it, I had a spare set of uncut 5% limo tint, only enough for one window... So I "roughly" did it to see what It'd look like, there's a few miscuts, etc. If I was going to actually do it properly, I'd probably take the windows out (at least for the rear quarter sides)
Just wanted your guys opinions before actually doing it properly? I personally really like it, but I like input from everyone else. I think with masked fogs and headlights at the front, it'll look really good!
#69: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: MrRichmond1995, Location: ChelmsfordPosted: Wed Jan 08, 2014 5:59 pm ---- Would be nice to see masked headlights on your car mate!

I would get wind deflectors but I never drive with my windows open, maybe I will get some when the warmer weather comes and visits us but for now my windows are staying closed and the heating on!

I mainly got them for when its raining, can have the window open and not have the rain coming in:) other than that I wanted them for cosmetic looks, haha! and yeah, I like the tint! will probably do them next month properly! I want just the sides done for now, then possibly think about tailgate. Found some stuff for tinting my lights, going to do it with vinyl, haha.

#72: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 7:11 pm ---- little update!
here she is as she sits currently:) note, the windows have been photoshop tinted for opinions... I'm thinking 5% on rear quarters and rear view screen, 75% front and maybe a 90% windscreen?? I want front end tinted as they've got the green factory tint which doesn't seem removable.
managed to get a 180 interior thanks to a member of 206info:) sadly there has been a slight dispute which I won't into here, but it may not be fitted to the car, not sure on the outcome yet. Really hope it can be resolved soon as a 180 interior would really suite my car!

Well, if you're a fan of top gear. You may remember an episode where they were they mimic'd the front end of cars with their faces, here's peugeot....
I tried to minimise this by sticking to the standard non sport bumper;) I am replacing my bonnet grill with the SP version, I will be spraying it gloss black though.. Just waiting for some £££ to come my way:) Think I'll keep my honeycomb grill, though, looks nice I think! Unless I choose to go for a black mesh one, only time can tell.

That is the best use of that gif ever!
My 4 channel amp stopped working after less than a week so I am getting it fixed/replaced and I am using a cheap £30 2 channel I had laying around to power my front speakers as I can't go a day without music.
Hopefully I will be back running the 4 channel and building my amp rack in no time!

Ah, not so bad then seeing as they're replacing/repairing it:) joys of warranty! hence why I don't mind giving my system a proper beating as it's under warranty:) Can't wait to get my new kit in! Got some new rockford fosgates for the front, going to power them off my head unit as they're only 60w RMS and my head unit can do 50w to each speaker so should be alright..

so far I've got some Rockford Fosgate P1652-S (again) and I'm going to power it with a Rockford Fosgate Punch P500-4. Will be looking into another import job by the looks of it as they're hard to come by over here.. may look into R1525X2 for the rear... The amp and rear aren't set in stone yet, front speakers are already sitting with me at home though, haha:)

Coolest...boot...EVERR!! I pretty much just cut up a bit of aluminium, and put it over the other side of the tailgate meaning the hole won't ever leak water, etc. Then a bit of vinyl over the other side:) I tried "flat" glass grommets and a few others, but they all look horrid in my eyes.

Been awhile, and I apologise. Couldn't update the thread due to a dispute with another forum member. All's been resolved now. So posting is fine again:)
First up! I got a GTi-180 interior from a fellow member, Won't name any names. Appreciated the help. Got it to me quickly and made good chat about past cars, etc:) Sadly, the interior did get to me damaged. Mechanical leavers, etc, didn't work and such. We've resolved our problems and I've decided to stick with what I've got and repair it... Took me a week or two, but I've fixed everything wrong:) won't show any before's due to the nature of the problem. Don't want anyone getting caught out as a bad guy as it wasn't necessarily their fault.
Was like a late Christmas present seeing this!
New interior!
First seat in:)
old interior out!
some shots of the new interior in the car:)
rear, also show casing my fandabbydosey leather roof lining and colour coordinated insides! (opinions please!)
Rear seats! never knew a 180 was a 4 seater! rarely had 5 in my car anyhow, lil' 1.1 never liked it!
tailgate shot!
As well as a new interior, thought I'd add some foot well LED's! this isn't complete as of yet, but may as well show you what's been done so far!
fitting the LED strips under in the foot wells
what can only be considered the finest of jobs
result!
These LED's are remote controlled, allowing me to choose any colour, pink, purple, green, whatever, plus I can fade/dim, flash, pretty much anything. £20 off eBay:) got to solder both foot wells together so they work off the same remote, oh, and also be powered together as well. Going to hook them up to my interior light when I get a chance!
That's all for now, guys:) think I'll end it with a quick photo of myself driving my pride and joy!

Thank you:) everyone seems to like it but me, haha. Can't stand a project that's not finished! getting my arches rolled soon. Bringing the rear out and covering the front up with GTi arches! that'll make me smile! only thing I dislike at the moe.
#92: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 10:38 am ---- lil' update!
got a bit annoyed of my car throwing mud up itself every day! bit OCD so used to clean it every time I got home, haha!
purchased some lovely mudflaps! they're not OEM but they'll probably drag on the floor anyway with my ride height, so didn't want to spend money if they'll get replaced every so many weeks/months! £9 of cheapness!
also managed to pick up some SP grills off a GTi 180! not really a fan of the chrome, will probably spray it all gloss black:)
Also got some of the automatic tweeter/window thingy triangle watcha-ma-calls-its as mine was original a manual turned automatic.
came with the uprated tweeters which are free to a good home as long as they pay postage / come pick them up, lol:)
#93: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 5:56 am ----
another fineeeeee purchase! Going to spray all the SP kit gloss black, looks good silver but I reckon black will really suite the car, especially with the roof and such. Just the waiting game now until stuff comes:)
#94: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: Cwbolton, Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 6:04 pm ---- Hey mate, lovely car and thread really enjoyed reading it, do you still have the tweeters available?
(Look out for my project thread tomorrow, picking up a fair few bits!)

Okay, Pal:)
#98: Re: Creating my 206 [DSW] [Picture heavy] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 7:49 pm ---- Hey, everyone. Another juicy little update! Stuff is actually happening with the car, it's not all cosmetic though, I'm afraid:( Waiting on fancy things to be delivered mainly!
First of all, my 180 glovebox turned up!
didn't like the chrome, so I ripped it apart and placed it onto my old glovebox as the chrome was very 90's and too "groovy" for me, lol;)
decided to finally fit these tweeter triangles!
thought I'd include some ACTION SHOTS!!! tweeter! wheyy!
PROFESSIONAL SEAL JOB FOR OPTIMUM SOUND QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE...COUGHHHHHHHHHH (sometimes I can't even take myself seriously)
...done properly, lol.
MOT is on 14th of feb, so I thought it's about time to sort out the lack of brakes.
here's a few shots of my disks;)
oh, and here's the better pads I had (didn't think of taking a photo of the worst as was tad distracted by putting a car together...in the dark, lol.)
propeeerrr shiney!
got a few goodies in the post the day after! first up is my SP grill! did a little trial fitting!
perfecto! going to spray it completely gloss black as like I say, chrome is too groovy for me;)
mudflaps arrived!
due to total refusal of buying a front sports bumper, I gave MrRichmond my bottom SP grill, and got the mesh on the go!
while I had the wheel off, I noticed I could probably get another mm or so from my front arch to my tyre before causing any proper damage to the arches.... Sooooooo, I decided to remove the helper spring locks (they're fully wound down so why not, heyyooo) Probably can't tell the difference to normal, it's about a mm or two lower than before.. Big difference on the speed bumps it turns out, hahah
So my fancy mesh turns up, and so the strip begins....
and now I'm going to leave you hanging as it's nearly 2am and I'm off to bed, lol! enjoy a quick video of my car scraping the solihull college speed bumps, though!
#99: Re: Creating my perfect 206 [DSWR] [Update: 20/03/14] Author: DSWR, Location: SolihullPosted: Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:07 am ---- So, finally back with lot's of fun things! basically a GTi 180 near us was getting broken for parts, and was cheap.... Next minute had bought the rear axle, front brakes, and an engine package (and he'd take my 1.1 off my hands)
the outcome...
I do apologise for no pictures of the build, it was my first ever time doing something like this so didn't want to look a prat if you noticed me doing anything wrong:p managed to get it all together but could get it to run. A lot of help from Addaz later, it came to life! still waiting on a custom exhaust system and induction kit for it then I'll get it remapped and dyno'd to see if it's running more than 59hp;)
I also went to my local garage and had some smoothing done....to my wheels. I purchased two 17" challenger alloys for the front due to the width difference to tuck them under my arches for more lowwws! had them smooth out the centre cap to look identical to challengers.
Definitely worth the money. Was shocked it was even possible, lol:) guessing it's a filler job but I'm no expert. Just happy they was able to do what I wanted.
I also decided to stuff the whole SP grills and resell them. I sort of like the honeycomb look, especially on my non sport bumper:)
with the front tucked the cars deffo lower too, got to love it! considering looking at getting my front bumper extended like Addaz has his and maybe some side skirts to hide my ruined sills.
That's pretty much all I've done for now, guys. Challenger alloys, back to honeycomb and a 2 litre engine... not bad? pretty sure the last three mods for this car will be exhaust, an induction kit then finally colour coded a/b/c pillars (inside) and she's finished. Can't wait to get past the whole "I've got no money cause I mod my car" phase;)

I pay insurance yearly not monthly, mentioned the engine change to them over the phone and they were like "okay" so I'm just rolling at £1800 for the year:)
#102: Re: Creating my perfect 206 [DSWR] [Update: 20/03/14] Author: AndrewR2211, Location: ScotlandPosted: Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:54 am ---- Got to hand it to you, some way you've came from the standard car, i suppose it really would have made more sense just buying a 180 in the first place, but then you wouldn't get the satisfaction of knowing you've done it yourself, how long did it take yous to swap over all the parts?

Merrh, I'd say £800 was spent to get the car to 180 spec. Only difference is the front wings and bumper which I actually prefer to the sports bits. I would have went straight for a 180 but I'd have wanted a silver one, and then all the money I've spent doing up this one sort of goes to waste. Was definetely more satisfying doing a DIY job:) plus it means I can guarantee the engines going to stay running for awhile as everything's been stripped down and checked. I'd say it was two weeks at maximum to go from 1.1 to 2l and working.

Welcome back tow strap!!! missed that little guy! haha;) recently became a fan of detailing, pretty much all that's happened, guys and gals. can't resist leaving it alone if it's got a speckle of dust, no matter dirt!
My old mudflaps sadly died a death last week after meeting a cambered road so got to order another set:(
Managed to get my hands on a set of air horns for £12, 135db, been cruising around today giving people heart attacks, haha! wired them up so that there's a switch to control between normal horn and the air horns as they they're not really what you want on the daily, aha. If anyones interested in how it was done or wants to see/hear them I'll do a quick video showing how they've been mounted, wired, etc.
Also, been talking to torqueflow about booking in a complete custom exhaust setup including decat. I'm thinking between either quad pipes (so two either side of bumper) or a giant fart cannon? what you reckon guys?? the plan is loud as f**k no matter what, easy way to make a car a "head turner"

actually when look at the pic in full size it does look it (the edges). plus the o/s strut is blue in that pic too.

And the fact the focus on the engine is completely different to the surrounding car

Last time I checked he was being done for insurance not being valid because he didn't declare his mods
He now owns a 2014 ford fiesta (financed of course)
