So I've got myself a 206 and I love it!
It's a 2.0 HDI, it's already been lowered, got a big ass backbox lol which I'm quite liking even though it may be chavy and lex arise lights. It's got some lacquer peel on the front passenger wing and spoiler but that's fixable and interior needs a good clean!
Also sent it to have brakes done aswell as I haven't got the time to do it myself at the moment. It's also got some dodgy electrics like all french cars lol
But it only cost me £500! And a trip to Essex and it had half a tank of fuel in it already!
Will post my plans for it soon!

Nice job. Not keen on the Lexus lights myself but still did alright for a monkey. If you're looking for ideas for your project check out my thread in my sig. I had a refurb axle fitted at the same time as swapping the rear drums for disks and lowered it looked great. Until someone pulled out while I was driving around a roundabout. No pics of it just yet I have just for it back and still needs a respray.

Im not to keen on lexus lights but the mrs likes them. Think I'm just gonna tint them. Also got the brakes sorted, was just a sticking caliper and rears needed adjusting only cost me £60 
Plans are.
* Good clean / detail and fix painting work!
* Tint rear lights
* refurb alloys
* leather interior
* New number plates
* Fix electricals such as radio etc and do a simple clean audio install
* smooth bonnet as I'm not keen on the grills
* SOME NEW BULBS FOR HEADLIGHTS ETC AS THE CURRENT ONES ARE SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think thats about it, although i've already been asked if I'm gonna stage 2 it like my 306 lol

You could vinyl wrap/paint the grill badge rather than go to the trouble of smoothing the bonnet.
I carbon wrapped the lion and then sprayed the chrome outer grill matt black, I used some red finishing tape to add an edge. and It looks great. also a lot easier then smoothing the bonnet and cheaper.

So today has been eventful!
Tried putting the spare on as my drivers side rear tyre kept going down! But could I get wheel off...... NO! those stupid french locking nuts! Anyways I thought I'll put some air in and should make it to garage..... Not the best idea as half way there the tyre started to burn!
Finally to kwik s**t as they the only place open on a Sunday! And they were busy so said could u leave it for 2 hours, luckily my mate lives not to far and went to his. Fast forward a few hours and they can't do owt with it! Had to get RAC OUT! they got it off and it's cost me £50 for a new tyre!
But I've got to have the rest of bolts drilled out now! Arghhh!

PSA Peugeot / Citroen locking wheel bolts = so secure, even the owners cant remove them
There soft as s**te, they will easily drill of, removed a few set's over the years.

There's a company down from my studio I'm gonna ask to do them as I've had enough problems with them! Lastlot on my 306 had to get a sthil saw on the alloy! Even then part of it was stuck in the hub!

So it's been an eventful couple of weeks with the 206! I melted a tyre, locking nuts are f****d! Managed to get the melted tyre nut off with help of rac.
Bought my self a half leather interior and it's been a sod to fit! As all the bolts where rusted in the old interior! And I've spent this morning swapping over the runners as my new interior didn't have them! Not even touched the door cards yet lol. And then to top it off I forget to swap the immobiliser chip over in my key fob and couldn't get the car started until i figured out what I'd done!
Anyways the good stuff! The interior is comfy! And nice only cost me £125 and I put some stickers on her. Also got a bonnet bra on its way this wee.
