its immaculate mate, very well looked after, very very fast compared with the corsa, going from a 1.2 to a 2.0 is a massive difference and you can really notice the power, the gti got some pulling power i tell ya
made up with it, gna miss me corsa though

scoop- plans are colour coding, lowered 30mm, and some gti 180 alloys sprayed in anthrite or black, not really doing anything else to it, been there with the corsa
nice little sleeper, hehe, i think the 0-60 is 7.5 seconds, but dont quote me on that

Had a blast of this before, very quick and its a smooth ride, can also be very economical on the old juice if you drive it nicely..quite hard not to do that though..! Will miss the Corsa matey, but this will so replace that! Made up for you mate, nice early xmas prezzie lol!

been to automotion today to start the mods, its goin in on monday for its colour coding, and im going to de-badge it tomorrow
then hopefully get my lowering springs before xmas and slam it down
ive also looked at a gti 180 exhaust, its not a performace box and it comes standard on the 180, so it will still be very quiet

speaking of fitting 206 180 bits, whats the difference between the 137 and 180 engines? how much would it cost to get ur engine to 180 brake? is it just a different head and ECU map? or are the pistons mega high compression jobbies?

Specification's of both engines are here: 206GTi 180 - its actually 174bhp, the french take the 177ps rating and round it up to 180. 206GTi 134It doesnt seem to list much difference though, different fuel system and compression ratio etc... Either way though its certainly the same engine. Hope that is of some help.

iirc they will need spacers to fit as the offsets differ.
why not get the nimrod alloys?

Peugeot - 4x108, Offset 20 to 25, Bore 65.1
Mondeo - 4x108, Offset 35 to 42, Bore 63.4
So as mentioned, will prolly need 10-15mm spacers and maybe the center hole boring out a few mm...
What If There Were No Hypothetical Questions?

I like those wheels aswell matty and it was a toss up between them and the cossie-esque wheels ive bought

looks gud, but if you decide to get it painted it may need a special etching primer as paint tends not to hold to well to alluminium Or like some one else said powder coated maybe gloss black. Birkenhead powder coatings are reasonable and do a good job.

Coming on nicely matey. My only other comment would be to lose the show cage, IMO they look uber Not only that, but due to the way they fit and the way they are made, I remember someone from another site crashing with one in their car. Had the "show cage" not have been fitted, he would have walked away, but it bent and buckled in such a way it fractured his skull in the accident - just what you want from a "cage" eh
