Back to a french car!!

As some may know. I recently sold my old 106. After this i was stuck with what to get next. After looking round for ages to find something decent (and diesel) a little minter cropped up an S reg 206 1.9 diesel. Cracking little car so far, and great on fuel!

Changed the standard speakers for a set of 240w sony edge components. Then got myself a Full black leather interior in great condition for £150. Also had to treat it to a set of wheels as the old ones were s**t! lol. A lot of ebay hunting produced a nice set of 16" nimrods with good tyres for £160. Photos to follow tomorrow....

Where are these photos mate? If you're interested in getting photos into PFC magazine, email a couple of decent ones to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]!

Thanks. As i mentioned above. Already put a leather interior in, and put on a set of 16" gti alloys. Next plans are the Gti bootlip spoiler, maybe gti arch extensions, and colour code the black plastic when the weathers warmer

cheers bud the 1.9 diesel engines are brilliant! what you looking at getting next?

ive got a 306 to pick up , he says its fast but ill have to wait and see hes put bucket seats in it, turbo gauge, bodykit, lowered it 40mm and nice looking spoiler ( far as i know its a rare one ) its jet black and it runs and im paying nothing over 200 for it , yeah good for miles and have some power in them

The car looks good buddy. Fair play.

thanks. it's not a bad motor to be fair. Relaible is an understatement! lol

Always a good thing, is reliability.

Mate, you really need to get some smoothing, split rims and lows going on!

tell me about it! was looking at lowering springs last night. would then just need to drop the beam to suit. was thinking about 30mm. cant go too low round here. and then a nice set of 17" gti 180 alloys in anthricite.....

Hereee you go, this is what you need in your life, with some stance going on! Good value for money too!

You could always get stiffer shocks with lowering, will avoid smashing the bottom of the car off the road. 30mm never drops as much as you reckon! I discovered that with my 35mm drop on my Focus!

Alex.

Liking the top set there bud! hoppefully got a bargain coming for the pug soon. My bonnet has the usual peugeot rust on the front. and the passenger wing is creased. if all goes well i will be getting, a pair of front wings, bonnet, gti bumper, crystal headlights, slam panel and radiator. All for £160!! just got to find out if its the right colour. its hard to tell by the photos, and its not in the description. I have a horrible feeling it's moonstone blue.....fingers crossed i'm wrong and its silver

eGay is it? Messaged them?

Fair play though if it pulls off. Might be worth getting the stuff anyway just to have spares, then you can get them sprayed up as & when.

yeah its ebay. messaged them last night. It's moonstone blue unfortunatly gonne look for just a bonnet and wing instead. Also thinking of keeping the pug now..... was just gonna be a stop gap car, but its growing on me

Has it grown on you? They're not bad little cars, however I feckin' HATE the windscreen wiper arms... (Of all things!)

Alex.

haha! it kind of has. still think i'll carry on saving to replace it though and yeah the wiper arm is crap! dunno why they decided to design it like that???

Because, my friend, they are French. They would've put a baguette on the windscreen if it could wipe water away like a strip of rubber!
