#1: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Sun Aug 07, 2016 6:32 pm ---- Finally got around to making a project thread on here, onto my 3rd 206 now and decided on a GTI 180 this time around. Sorry for lack of photos of my progress.
Wheels where badly damaged
Engine bay needs a tidy up
Had it's fair share of issues and problems and ended up running like this for awhile
Spend hours getting paintwork up to scratch and got my vortex alloys powdercoated white
Any opinions ? I'm undecided on both sp archs and morette headlights what do you guys think ?

What rear lights you got in now? I think I like the ones in the top photo better; as I feel that the red ones are very red against the blue paint and white wheels.
Nice clear car though, what are your next plans?
#3: Re: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 9:07 am ---- They are just standard phase 2 lights and I'm looking at maybe fitting brembo 4 pot front brakes but I'm unsure yet
#4: Re: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: pAvax, Location: EssexPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 9:18 am ---- Yeah, I got a 206cc... and the stock brakes on them (for a 2.0) are a bit... inadequate, to put it nicely.
I am going to put on Brembo discs (Max) and pads first, see if that helps with the stopping. Is the conversion to 4-pots straightforward? I'd imagine you'd need to re-do quite a bit to the whole braking system, or not? Looking forward to your experience upgrading the brakes, as I'd might be interested doing it myself as well.

#6: Re: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: cainw1, Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 2:01 pm ---- Looks great, I feel i may have seen this for sale when a friend was looking for a 206. Is this the one that has done 144000 miles (ish)
#7: Re: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 6:08 pm ---- Nice little project you got there bud, get yourself on fb and Gti180Owners Club, plenty of friendly people on there and will help you with any issues.
With blue, I would go for masked headlights, morettes don't seem to look to good on blue/red or silver 180's
#8: Re: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 8:28 pm ---- No this one had 79k on it when i bought it.
I think i'll go for masked headlights and fog lights for now can always change later

Been always fond of Angel Eyes looks, but heard stories that one shouldn't go for them unless their eyes are good at night vision..
But look at them i.imgur.com/svdK368.jpg
Regarding white Vortexes, they really stand out! I wonder if in the first photo above they went for some really light/white silver shade
I've always sided with, that rims like these should be seen as they turn at low speeds (hence painting them black would just defeat the purpose )
#10: Re: Peugeot 206 GTI 180 Project Author: RoweY, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Wed Jan 25, 2017 5:21 pm ---- Not a lot of progress on this but is going in for it's MOT tomorrow and have fitted a K&N Typhoon induction kit since the last update, will get some photos up at the weekend
