#1: Frenchfrog's 180 Author: frenchfrog40, Location: MaidstonePosted: Mon May 11, 2015 7:00 pm ---- First, a brief history lesson...
I owned a black 180 a while back, I had it for roughly 3 years and loved every minute. I then made a huge mistake and bought an Impreza wrx which lasted 4 month before I bought a black 206 XSi. I owned that for nearly 4 years, and never made a build thread.
Then this beauty came up and I found it too hard to say no
2004 206 GTi180 with 30k on the clock with some nice extras.
This is it the day I bought it (spot the XSi and the mrs glx in the background):
It came with a few extras as you can see, strut brace, tinted windows, sp grills, 17" team dynamics, janspeed cat back, parking sensors, k&n panel filter, remap and a few other bits.
Firstly I stole some bits off my XSi, all my orange bits moved onto the 180 along with my R8 style front lights, smoked side repeaters, smoke rear fog, smoke brake light, LED rear lights and quicksilver grab handles. And also de badged the rear while I was at it.
And my cow came along for the ride

At the same time as getting them installed I got some Mintex grooved and dimpled disks and pads all around and some goodridge braided hoses.
The front sits a bit high at the moment as the tyres rub on the coil overs when wound all the way down, will have to get bigger spacers or actually get the borbets to fit on!
Not sure why but I only got a picture of the rear brakes and not the fronts:
Special thanks to KrisB for doing this!

However, I guarantee the paintwork on your is better than on mine! I need to get myself a touch up pen!
Doesn't help that someone reversed into it in my works car park the other day, scuffed the mirror, slight dent in my drivers door and smashed my wind deflector.
And noone owner up....
