#1: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 4:32 am ---- Hi Everyone,
Thought I would show the progress and the work I've done on my 206.
I have owned the car for a year and a half after desperately needing a car as my previous car caught fire.
1 elderly lady owner from new, full dealer history and 36k on the clocks. I was warned that it needed bodywork but for £1000 it was worth every penny.
It was a standard car and wasn't in too bad a state as can be seen.
The work soon started and I've not finished yet!
#2: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 4:40 am ---- Basic Audio install started
Brakes changed, cleaned and painted
Wind deflectors
Rear spoiler that I painted in my shed!!!
#3: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 4:43 am ---- SP Grille
Sportex Twin box System
Induction Kit
#4: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 4:48 am ---- More parts were ordered
Sourced some genuine Morette's only problem was they were Lime Green!
#5: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 5:00 am ---- Rear Lights needed Tinting
More audio
#6: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 5:35 am ---- Fitting the suspension was such fun!
Its not my first torsion bar job and it probably wont be my last
Some bolts just don't like coming undone!
Changed the stabiliser links at the same time not that they wanted to come off!
Braided brake lines were fitted all round aswell
Front Splitter added and Lowered about 20mm. She is a daily driver and there are too many speed humps round here to go much lower.
#7: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 11, 2015 5:54 am ---- Change of Audio
Thats pretty much it currently but there is lots more to be done

#9: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Tue Nov 17, 2015 3:01 am ---- OK Next item on the list is the wheels. I know its not original but I do think they will good especially when all the black plastic has been done in black gloss aswell.
#10: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Tue Nov 17, 2015 6:48 am ---- Looks very good mate, keep up the work!
#11: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Wed Nov 18, 2015 2:22 am ---- Not a Big job but all the little details are what makes a car!
I've started changing all the bulbs to LED's Map light, Interior Light and Number plate lights now all done.
Its worth paying a little more for the Cree type LED as they are much brighter and the canbus approved ones tend to be more stable and not flicker!
#12: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 4:04 am ---- Not had the time to do much more at the moment but I have now changed the side trims for ones painted gloss black.
#13: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: America, Location: Catania, ItalyPosted: Mon Nov 30, 2015 7:29 am ---- Looking real good! Makes a great daily driver...
#14: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 4:30 am ---- After advice from here and from seeing some of my friends I decided on which wheels to get. I know some of you probably wont agree with my choice but its an individual thing.
First photos I had a chance to take as it was dark last night when I fitted them which unfortunately means they are a little dirty!!
#15: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 10:27 am ---- Just needs lowering now! Personally they are a bit to dark for my liking though.
Still looks good though!

Thanks Addaz. It is Lowered a bit front and back, but problem I have is its a daily driver and far too many speed humps round my way which would mean getting to work and back near on impossible if I lower it much more.
#17: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Ross74H, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sat Dec 12, 2015 3:36 pm ---- Have to say I like the wheels, not keen on the black rear lights but its your car.
Not sure it needs to be too much lower, you want to be able to get over speed bumps!
#18: Re: China Blue 206GTI Author: Motorracingbruce1980, Location: West SussexPosted: Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:50 am ---- On the rare occasion I have 4 people in the car the back rubs on bumps so think it might be low enough
