De-badge rear
What I'm considering but not sure about:
Rear window tints
De-wiper
Lowering
What I've done:
Arm rest
Window Tints
Carbon fibre wrapped spoiler
Alloys
Wind Deflectors
Lowered
GTI 180 axle
GTI 180 interior
Fly eye
straight through exhaust
induction kit
semi-decent sound system

If you have any ideas of what else i could do let me know

Well right now I'm debating on buying new wheels or refurbish those ones
#6: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: David1156, Location: East LondonPosted: Sat Dec 27, 2014 6:23 am ---- The 206 looks in great shape! What's it like jumping from a 1.1 to a 2.0 hdi?
#7: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: sicskate, Location: Margate, KentPosted: Sat Dec 27, 2014 10:47 am ---- Get it remapped
I don't like the wheels, sorry

Hard to explain really but it takes a bit to get used to. So far I'm loving the power and not needing to think so much about overtakes it's just the case of touching the throttle. The main difference is sitting about 60 with the 1.1 i would be in 5 with the throttle about half way to do 60 where as the 2.0 is just the case of 5th gear and gently touching it. But so far the best bit is when people ask what you drive and you can say 206 2.0 turbo instead of 1.1 saxo

Each to there own but personally i like them but they're quite scuffed up, If i can find a set of decent Nimrods cheap i will get them as I'm not planning on getting the current ones refurbished until summer
A pic from earlier,
Also i ordered some door speakers sooner than i was expecting to when i discovered they don't work or they're not there one of the two haha and i can't be bothered taking the door card of to find out

I've read your progress thread many many times haha. Again i forgot to mention that was part of the plan, I like the look of the window tints, but whats it like reversing at night with the windows tinted that's my only concern really
#11: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: MrWhite, Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2014 8:18 pm ---- I use my wing mirrors so it's not so bad

I mainly use the mirrors but the window has proved to be helpful and i can get the back windows tinted 5% limo tint for £70 is that good?
#13: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: MrWhite, Posted: Sun Dec 28, 2014 6:12 am ---- I got s company to do the back window it has proven to be quite hard being so curved so I think that price sounds okay I went full limo on all the rear windows
#14: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 10:30 am ---- Got a little update
But first i will cover what i missed out on the original post, the car is a 2001 registered in January and has around 125k
Now for the list of bad things
Body is a little rough
Has a boost leak
The odd clunking coming from the front suspension every once and a while
No service history
few pics
paint is chipping away
Bumper doesn't seem to line up, a friend said his 206 was the exact same there? Is this a common thing?
there's more little small things but they should come out with a polish
I got board of having no bass at all so i got a tempo subwoofer and amp for 30 quid
Excuse the messy boot haha
I also got these after i found out there was no door speakers again a friend said his 206 was the exact same
Installing them tonight
Tonight I'm also going to polish then wax it and possibly de-badge the rear so there will be some before and afters tomorrow
#15: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 3:13 pm ---- Ok so time for an update.
Still haven't got my speakers in will get them shortly
I finally gave it a quick polish to see how it came up was actually surprised if I'm honest
Sometime this week I'm going to give it another wash then clay it polish it again this time properly and i got some chemical guys mirror finish glaze so will fire some of that on then a sealant and wax
After that i went and got some alloys
then last night i inquired about window tints and the guy said he could fit me in today at 1pm so that morning i got up put my alloys on then headed down to autotint in Kilwinning, Also got my spoiler wrapped in carbon fibre
Got a picture with the alloys and tints didn't have time for one before i got the tints done.
will get some better pictures and some of the spoiler too.
I have some wind deflectors coming and after that i will be looking into lowering it and a remap also still to De-badge it and De-wiper it then i will be a bit lost on what else to do
#16: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: pugsyhdi, Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 4:10 pm ---- Looks better I think spoilers make them look lot better
I'm not to far from you up Falkirk might have some bits if interested pm me
#17: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: bistoo09, Location: GranthamPosted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 4:25 pm ---- Ph2 Rear Lights and Ph2 Bootstrip? Change front lights? Lower?
Ph2 Rear Lights and Ph2 Bootstrip? Change front lights? Lower?
Im not sure on the front lights have a set of angels there but its the light output that's putting me off, thinking of Morettes but they're a bit expensive wish i bought those ones i saw for £40 second hand when i had the chance
on the rear lights i like the phase 2 ones but i've saw some other ones that i like just a matter of picking some, don't worry i won't ruin it with lexus lights And i will probably get the boot stip and put it on the same time i de-badge it
I just decided about an hour ago that i was going to lower it for sure maybe about 40 ish
#19: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: MattBurrows, Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 9:14 am ---- get a decat and straight thru exhaust.
then a remap (providing you are not going down the intercooler route)
my power increased dramatically when i removed the old backbox.
lexus lights look really nice too
i have the same car : )
#20: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: MrWhite, Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 12:25 pm ---- Just looking at your rear bumper. I do have one in the same colour that came off mine when I fitted the 180 bumper. Where abouts are you?
Its ok just checked I drove there and back in a day once took 10 hours in the snow lol
#21: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:52 pm ---- Little update, The car was off the road for a few days when it broke down about 25 miles from home crankshaft pulley went. Its hard to describe but its a whole unit but the middle part essentially came of the outer part if you know what i mean (<- Brilliant description) Towed it home and got the pulley done although i got a cheap £30 one from ebay and 20 odd miles later it's already started making a rumbling noise so i'm getting a genuine Peugeot one next week, as well as a service that should have been done when i got the car since it had no service history. don't know if i will manage the timing or if that will need to wait till a later date. So as of now the car will be staying the way it is until i know it's mechanically perfect.
Picture from earlier
And i got Wind Deflectors don't know if i mentioned that before
#22: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 2:04 pm ---- So hopefully this week i will get the timing done, hopefully that is! Also need the alternator belt and adjuster pulley. Then after that the mods will continue and start going down the performance route and it's getting a full 3 stage paint correction in April

#24: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:30 am ---- So in other new, My axle is f*cked so i bought a new one today for £130, GTI one lowered 30mm so off to buy some lowering springs. The axle is lowered 30 how much should i lower the front as it sits much higher?

Best thing you can do is buy a set of coilovers. That way you can adjust accordingly to suit what you need.
Coming along nicely though

I was thinking that but money is tight at the moment i would prefer to get the front done the same time as the axle goes on. might have a look and see if there's any 2nd hand ones local
#27: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Sat Feb 28, 2015 1:06 pm ---- Ok so £500 later i have my car back with a new Disc axle and lowered 30mm at the back and 45 at the front although it doesn't look like its dropped at all. Aswel as a straight through exhaust I believe the exhaust is a straight through from the CAT back. The reason i don't know is because i didn't ask for it. When the axle was getting done the mechanic said if anything needs replaced will i just replace it and i said yes. So it needed a new exhaust and instead of getting a new original exhaust he put a straight through on it but im not complaining!
Will get some better pics tomorrow as it will be getting a good clean if the weather is decent
#28: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:26 pm ---- Coming along really nicely mate, I want to hear how loud your exhaust is, the can looks massive!!
Debadged and a phase 2 boot strip would finish the rear end of nicely
#29: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Steve137, Location: BasingstokePosted: Sun Mar 01, 2015 6:14 am ---- i agree with vexs also phase 2 rear lights would look better in my opinion
#30: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 01, 2015 6:18 am ---- Yep need to get my sh*t together and De-badge been meaning to do it since i got the car, and im going for similar rear lights to what vexus has
#31: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Steve137, Location: BasingstokePosted: Sun Mar 01, 2015 6:22 am ---- sweet mate would look sweet and like vexs said i wanna hear how loud that exhaust is
#32: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Sun Mar 01, 2015 6:26 am ---- Its really not that loud, especially compared to the rattly engine but hopefully that will be fixed sometime next week then i will get the cat cut out. also i will get some better pictures today aswel as some decent ones of the exhaust. and might aswell get a sound clip of it to
#33: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Mon Mar 02, 2015 9:06 am ---- Work was nice and quite so gave me a good opportunity to give the car a good clean up and take alot of pictures, I also De-badged it
and not to forget the before and after picture
Im quite happy on how far the car has came since i got it and the difference it's made to it but there's so much more to do still
#34: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 4:39 pm ---- Since a few people said they wanted to hear what it sounded like i finally got round to getting a video.
#35: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Thu Apr 30, 2015 1:12 pm ---- Ok so i've not really been keeping this up to date as much so a little catch up is needed!
To start i put on a Ram Air induction kit don't have any pictures for some reason but it has a nice sound do it
So this is how it was sitting at the time
and then this happened......
so the car was left like this for a while :'(
But £40 later i got the alloy back 1 crack 1 bend 3 buckles, I honestly don't know what i hit or what even happened to it
A got a Pioneer MVH-x560BT headunit fitted but no pictures really but then again its just a headunit
Closest thing i have haha
at this point i was eager to do something with the front of the car and wanted some morettes but a Focus ST came into my work with some fly eye and it looked really good so just done that for the meantime might even keep it this way
Then i came across a guy on facebook selling a GTI 180 interior that was spotless and he was wanting £200 for it i gave him a offer of 140 and he took it so that weekend i was off to loch lomand for my new interior about a 65 mile drive each way
And on the drive home i decided to take the backroads instead of the boring motorway since it was a good day and came across this amazing view!
Then it was time to fit the interior
So yeah thats about it for now, what i'm still planning on doing is
GTI 180 wheels
SP grill
front lowered a little more
new rear lights
interior lighting
De-cat
paint calipers red
stage 3 paint correction
EGR delete
Remap
So far i'm loving the pug and its definitely not going anywhere in a hurry and i have to give it its dues its been reliable only thing thats went wrong is a crank shaft pulley and rear axle so not to bad especially for a 14 year old french car doing 1800 miles a month
#36: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Jorded94, Location: Conwy, North WalesPosted: Wed May 06, 2015 4:42 am ---- Hi, looking great! Did you have to use heat to fit the flyeyes or have they got self adhesive? Cheers
#37: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Fri May 08, 2015 5:18 am ---- They are really easy to do and yep I just used a hair dryer
#38: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Wed Jul 15, 2015 4:26 pm ---- Im back and going to be making alot of changes in the next few weeks so should be a bit more active on here:)
Not much has changed with the car Got 2 front wheel bearings done and 2 front wishbones replaced.
I was getting board of the look of the car so im going to go down a completely different route with it, So far ive been doing everything black and just darkening the car right out but im going to come away from that and do something different.
So to start with i took the alloys off and me and 2 mates went to the poundshop yes poundshop and bought some white paint, primer and clear coat spent about £12 got home got the sander out out and painted my alloys
This was the results:
The alloys actually look brand new apart from the bend that one has but yeah £12 to paint 4 alloys cant complain at that haha.
Im also planning on taking the fly eye off the front and tinting the fogs yellow and then buying upgraded bulbs as i cant see sh*t with the current ones need to try get a grill from somewhere to. Also thinking of doing a conversion to lug nuts just because i think they look better and give my calipers another paint.
This year im going to save as much as i can and get the car perfect also needing a machine polish its really faded. im short of ideas just now so if you have any throw them at me
#39: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Tue Jul 21, 2015 4:33 pm ---- Liking the last photo where alloys look a bit darkened.
Was every spray can a pound then in the poundshop? My next shopping it is for the project budget :))

Thanks and yep every can cost a pound, The gloss black is quite similar to the actual color of the car so im going back for some black to do my plasic trim and door handles also im not sure how the paint holds up with alloy cleaner i've not wanted to try it. Going to do them in gun metal gray soon so will try some alloy cleaner before i redo them to see how they hold up
#41: Re: 206 2.0 HDI D-Turbo, slow progress Author: Imelliot, Location: East Ayrshire, ScotlandPosted: Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:13 pm ---- I took the fly eye of the front preferred the fly eye to be honest but over time the light output was horrible. When i first put them on it wasn't effected after a few month it got worse and worse eventually couldn't see at night not sure what to do with the front now? it's to plain looking
