#1: 1.4 HDI Spruce up Author: HarryPreece96, Posted: Thu May 08, 2014 1:14 pm ---- This is Kevin the Peugosnot
This is my 1.4 HDI bought for the fortune of £275 as you can imagine at that price it was spotless other than the dents, ruined front end and general riffyness. I am an indecisive w***er but i've decided to tart it up once payday comes around. New bushes, front discs and pads and a possible conversion to a GTI back axle are my first stops after i've replaced the dented door and wing.
Then I plan to play with the engine but am undecided on the best route to take, and of course the original person I am i'm looking at a set of Nimrods and phase 2 lights to go into it as well as a GTI 180 interior but perplexed as how to get rear door cards that match a GTI interior.
All feedback, advice and how much of a idiot I am is all welcome, cheers guys

I just got hold of some black trimmed door cards out one of the newer 206 sport model and they look good.

Very rare now though but found on the glx. Or you could do custom doorcards in which case there is a how to on here about it.

Looking to get a set of 205/45/16 nimrods and have them powder coated. Its a toss up between a leather CC interior or a 180 interior, just gonna get black door cards or the colour of a tarts handbag if I get a CC interior. That can wait tho and will come much later down the line need a offside top hat and bottom steering arm and an exhaust bracket. Considering a custom exhaust but obviously being a diesel have to be careful not to lose back pressure.

#7: Re: 1.4 HDI Spruce up Author: sicskate, Location: Margate, KentPosted: Sun May 18, 2014 1:18 pm ---- Get it remapped
#8: Re: 1.4 HDI Spruce up Author: HarryPreece96, Posted: Thu May 22, 2014 3:14 pm ---- Working at s**t Fit there are a few blokes who know a thing about tuning, got put in touch with a diesel tuning expert. He says with a front mounted big intercooler, a hybrid turbo, inlet and outlet work, panel filter, straight through, BMW fuel pump, modified injector nozzles and a aggressive remap I could get 200 bhp plus. I'm now mulling whether to go that way, obviously a tough clutch and a gearbox swap or custom rebuild is a must as well as major handling and braking upgrades but it excites me. Back to reality and tomorrow i'm fetching a pair of rear shocks and a nearside drop link, would post pictures but who wants to see what everybodys seen before?
#9: Re: 1.4 HDI Spruce up Author: HarryPreece96, Posted: Thu May 22, 2014 3:16 pm ---- Plus i'm sacking the Nimrods off, getting a set of 205 speedlines instead and with an Eibach kit on the front dropping it it should look tasty
#10: Re: 1.4 HDI Spruce up Author: HarryPreece96, Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 2:54 pm ---- Since I last posted the car has had a full service, debadged and a new set of shoes Really surprised me I expected the Speedlines to look a bit silly without the car being lowered but they really suit the car and go well with the colour! Different to the standard choice of Nimrods!
Fitting a drop link first thing in the morning the banging from the front is intolerable! As for more mods I'm looking at changing the front headlights already got a pair of rear dark lexus lights on the way a cold air intake coming and its off next week to be measured up for a custom stainless exhaust then on to a remap!
Also looking to fit a new interior the standard seats are crippling and cannot be dealing with them, also considering sticker bombing my door cards for something different than the norm
