Ruffy talking about bonnet bras I need to get myself another one before the cars home..! But yeh I thought I'd do something different with the car from the usual painting things different colours.
Ok I may have wasted 20 quid of paint stuff etc but giving it a second thought I think I've done it for the best as my car won't look like a chav mobile with a million different colours.
I've also taken you idea if you don't mind and use the wheel wh0res stickers I've got to put on the centre caps and also I've asked my dad to have a word with the bodyshop guy tomorrow about having the lips on the Nimrods in Moonstone Blue to match the car. Hopefully he can do it as I'm thinking I might just keep the Nimrods and spend the money from the Schmidts on bits to get the car finished up. I still want to buy my boot fill piece and this might be able to be done now with this money that I have.

I do agree that the GT bumper is an absolute nightmare when tryin to drop a 206 and like you said air would most definately be needed with this bumper..!
But I bought the Schmidts for a stupidly cheap price and sold them for a very tidy profit...bought on a mispelt listing so I thought might aswell see what I can do.
I'm even contemplating on still getting rid of my Nimrods or even swapping them for a set of Vortex which I can have done in Gloss Black and again go with the stretch route and use them in conjunction with spacers to get a nice poke.

If you made a profit on them then it's all good 
I'd say Vortex's over Nimrod's yeah. Shame you can't find any dished 17's on any mis-spelt listings lol.

Am looking to swap and seeing what I can find. But I did find a few set of schimdts at the same time as these on the mis-spelt listing, stuff like the 'Space Wheel' but they are disgusting tbh. Did bid on a few set of BBS RM's, OZ Turbo's and a set of Schmidt TH-lines but no luck.
I was gunna buy a brand new set of MAMs but opted out as its over a 4 week wait before I get them and I want the car ready before then.
If all goes to plan and it's completed and I can get the two XSi's sold and then think about selling this one then I'll be moving on to something even better.

Yeh I did notice those on WW...chap off Cleaned-UK has them up for sale. Shame I can't afford to get the archwork done on the rear or I would have had these.
I'm currently bidding on some OEM Peugeot 17" wheels. Theses aren't Challengers, Vortexs, Hockenheims or any of the other factory fitted wheels. Lovely set of wheels but I do have a limit on how much I'm going to bid upto purely because I'll need to get them refurbed, bolts, valves & tyres. But tyres will be 165/35 R17
Just to give you an idea;

. I had a bit of trouble on 17's and it wasn't even low enough! I think 16's would look the best.... but you'd need to be on air or something lol. 17's are the best bet I think. As much as I love the GT bumper they're a nightmare when it comes to lowering.
