Ok due to Neglecting this WIP over the last few month's I have decided to delete the first post and make it a bit clearer, I used to own a 56 plate A3 but with me working Night's and my partner day's we decided we needed two car's instead of the one, Off to the dealer's we went and traded in the A3 
We decided her car needed four door's for the Kid's so got her a 06 plate Fiat Punto Grand 1.2. Personally I hate it but she loved it and as she would be driving it most I let her have her way. So after week's of looking I finally came across A 206 1.6 XSI in really good condition for the Money. So got him and he came standard. ( I found out some time after he came out of the factory with standard seat's so had the half leather's installed at some point, WIN )
My first Mod was Tinted rear window's and a set of sperm light's which I hated once on the car but had to stay for a while until found replacement's. Also Sprayed a phase 2 bootstrip myself and fitted that.
The next Job was colourcoding and a spoiler, I was quite lucky with this as a family member has his own bodyshop and managed to get me a new set of arches at cost price. He also did all of my spraying for the total cost of £0.
Also fitted were SP goodie's including Fuel cap, Bonnet vent's, Front grill, Pedal's and Slider's.
The car was treated to a good wash and treated with collinite which at the end of the day resulted in this
The next job was to get new rear LED's and ended up with these which I think suit the car better.
After that I wanted a new set of Nimrod's and any one who know's me will know I had about six set's before I Finally settled on these.
And then These
My problem with the car is the silver 206 is a popular colour and I wanted mine to stand out a little bit without leaving the OEM look. So after age's fluffing about with different alloy's and idea's and almost buying some hornet's new from Pug I can across a set of Tempest alloy's In Anthericite in great condition And after a drive to Birmingham and a few Hundred pound changing hand's got my hand's on them. A brand new set of tyre's later and they looked like this on the car.
A picture of him at Buxton Summer meet with his girlfriend Poppy.
I have also got him a set of Wind deflector's which I will take a pic of when He has had his bath.
Other change's I have made are Clear brake light, SMD sidelight's, Blue interior light/GTI map light's, Quickshift and a new Sony Headunit. Also GTI kick plate's.
Update on some more change's which include,
Lowering has been done,
Interior roof and pillar's sprayed black,
K&N panel Filter,
Blue Footwell light's,
Full interior dash blue led conversion.
I know this Wip is a bit smaller than it was originally but I Used a lot of the photo's to make a how to so not much point in them being in two place's plus I thought I would just keep to the basic's. Plus would make it a bit easier to add thing's in the future.

I'm going off sperm lights.
Colour coded and a phase 2 boot strip would look good. A gti spoiler would look epic as well.
overall, nice 206

Nice one, I just didn't have the cash to pay for a whole new set of tyre's and a refurb at that time, Would of worked out over £500 for a set of Nimrod's, Told you those tyre's would bring you back some cash lol.
