Hello! im new to the forum, my names Warren and im from South Wales. bought a black 206, 1.4 GLX yesterday for a very good price!
Heres a few pics of my old cars...
Anyway, Im new to the 206 lingo so any info as to what to do next ect, dont be shy 
The 206...
For the year its not in bad condition, 1 or 2 nasty scratches leading to dodgy touchups and the expected stonechips on the front. It had a straight through exhaust thats already doing my head in  Nimrods, Looks like SP arches and spoiler, a 'lockwood' grille and not sure wether the lex-a**e lights are standard or not? Oh also has GTi interior thats seen better days but all good.
Got a few plans, just general tidying up with some GTi headlights, might lower it if i can sort out the enormous curb off my drive and the ratte cans might make an appearance.
Anyway to the progress...
Spent most of the day giving her a good, much needed scrub, and you may be able to tell by my previous cars i put alot (maybe too much) effort into making it clean. Heres a few before & after pics or todays sesh!
Before
After
Pic w**re i know...
Rate or slate!

Welcome along!
The cars scrubs up very well!! You made a nice job of the front grille!
Get rid of them lexa**e lights like you said and the car looks very well. A subtle mod would be to change the orange side repeaters to clear ones or smoked ones!
Your blue corsa looked the part!

I can see you will do good things with it. Btw the GTI lights you are referring to are just the Phase 2 (facelift) ones. There are quite a few decent after market rear lights for the 206.

For the rear lights either phase 2 OR go with 206+ lights, there very very rare in the UK as the 206+ was never sold here

As its a T reg, i'd guess the car is a flat black
Onyx Black - EXY
Not to be confused with
Obsidian Black - EXL, which was later, 2003 i think, and mainly on gti 180's and such, like my xsi lol
