Hi
Just bought another car today following crash, Gone from a 206 XS (in 2010) ..to a Vauxhall Vectra C (crashed)  .. and not back to a 206 GTI 2.0
Think i picked up a bargain from a friend.. 206 2.0 GTI, Year 2003, 41,000 miles. (£2,250 with 12 months MOT)
Anyway, happy to be back with a Peugeot, it's amazing how much better this car drives then anything I've had.
Im wanting to do a few things with the Peugeot, i see so many similar 206's out there i'm thinking about body kits.
What are your opinions on these.. worth it, well made, any recommendations?
I quite like this one without the big spoiler:

But not sure where i would buy this kit??
Thanks guys/girls,
Carlos

Good mileage on a car that year. Mines 2004 with 44k on the clock.

For a WRC replica - maybe
for a road car, biggest waste of money ever

oh.. i see what you mean, i've always thought they look stupid as i dont like the massive spoilers some people put one, and the odd shaped bumpers etc
I was looking for something that would keep the peugeot style but make the front look a bit "bulkier" if thats thte correct term to use.
I would never do something like this!! :

Harry, i was thinking of the WRC, but i suppose for a road car its a waste, i wouldnt go that far with a body kit.
Any ideas however where i can purchase a standard spoiler, i used to have one on my XS, but nothing on this GTI,
Thanks

The 206 isnt designed to look wide in the arches tho, although the GTi and some sports ones do have Slightly wider arches on the front but not major

Try your local scrappers mate for a spoiler, pretty sure they'll have one somewhere on a car or in the office.
