Welcome to my work in progress thread. I started off as a user on here and i was called Rob_Zombie maybe you'll remember that name... or maybe not 
I bought my Peugeot 206 before i could drive, and i'll tell you what.. its not a good idea 
My uncle had something to do with it, lets just say "I wont go there" its depressing 
Anyway, lets start with... insane moments?
2005 - 1st got car... couldn't drive and was very bored of looking at a red car sitting on my drive, so ebay it was looking at modifications.
I know what you are thinking YYERRRRRKKK, well all i can say is i was paying for insurance for a car I couldnt drive, yeah i know its stupid my uncle convinced me that he would take me out on private lessons... so money was wasted on a car... on a drive! What i really wanted was Morrete headlights but at the time they were 400+
Early 2006 i past my test (after paying what it seemed a year of insurance but not being able to drive) - again uncle was no help 
I took off those gastly headlight masks/covers and binned them, i also replaced the standard 14" peugeot alloys with 16" fox multi-spokes
Major gappage in the arch, then i was told to lower it.. from lovely forum users off here. But with the 1st year of driving i was told thats a no no as insurance is already at a all time high so i went to halfords and bought a
exhaust cap (i think thats what these are called)
Crazy stuff, i went mad again... (WHISTLES **** ) and went chrome mad!
YUrrrk, i was just sick in my mouth a little bit  its not until the high level brake light broke from being soo cheaply made i got a led crystal red led light (looks standard) but its 
i was soo drunk with happyness that i made a slideshow of my car and i thought it was the best looking car on the street
s171.photobucket.com/a...1690df.pbw
Still wanting Morretes i bought into the cheaper option, angel eyes
Notice something... still keeping the chrome theme...
now... i dont know why, but i started debadging everything...
 again... looking back i gag and hurl in my mouth
MR DUCK SAYS CHANGE IT NOW
Ok mr duck i will i promise!!!
Got it!!! got colour coded used headlights off the bay and i got rid of the badgeless grill, also you eagle eyes will notice i got those flat bladed wiper blades
17" vortex alloys
Fixed "Chrome issue"
French carshow 2010
before lowering
Now lowered
Spax VSX fixed suspension (claims lowering 40mm at front) well, its not!! been told by the expert Kyle(gti180boy) @ stafford max drop will be 30mm at front when settled.
back torson has been adusted by 30mm
I asked for 40mm but was talked out of it, i like it!! 
Future plans
-to get stuy to do a nice nice paint correction
-my vortex done in powder white DONE!
-bucket seats. (coming soon)
-calipers done in red DONE
Comments welcome
