I know I know, it's a Corsa website, but personally I enjoy seeing pics of other peoples cars no matter what they are, and I still read CS a fair bit so thought why not!
Copied and pasted my post on 206info.co.uk:
Washed the car earlier, then went for a drive for something to do. Today's destination was The Long Mynd, and I snapped some pics of the GT with it's new headlights and 6000k HID's...

Was to do with WRC rules in the 90s and early 2000's
The 206 GT (Grand Tourisme)
To comply with international rallying regulations Peugeot will be building a total of 4,000 (minimum required 2,500) road going cars to the same overall dimensions of the 206 WRC. The 206 WRC is 4 metres in length compared to the standard passenger car’s 3.83m.

Basically, Peugeot wanted to enter the 206 into rallying, but it wasn't quite long enough and therefore didn't meet regulations, so they did the simple thing of extending the bumpers to make it 4 metres in length. 4000 made and only 1000 were right-hand drive

Yeah, fitted the Morettes myself.
Wrighty, no pics sorry, but as said, 8000k are too blue I think. 6000k looks spot on

Ah well, each to their own I guess! I'm the other way round... 206 GTi's didn't interest me, found them a little bland and not as fun as a 106 GTi to drive... then I took an interest in the GT's, because of their rareness more than anything else, wanted something a bit more special.

In its current state I think the back bumper does look out of place, but once I get the spoiler I'm after then I think the GT rear will look better than a normal GTi one, personally. The extra 'length' on top that the spoiler will give will balance out the extra length of the bumper, and thus, it will look cool as feck . GT's should have come standard with a spoiler!
