... err, well, not exactly a beast but it is compared to the Corsa 12v I had
Here is my Pug 206 GTi 138.
Plans : First thing, get new plates
Not sure on the rear lights, I have the standard ones if I decide I don't like them.
Gonna take off the eyebrow things on the front.
Cone filter.
GTi 180 spoiler.
Lowered around 30mm.
Oval exhaust, maybe cat back, maybe not... the standard one sounds nice tbh.
Little things like smoked side repeaters with silver bulbs etc.
EDIT : Gotta advisory on the brakes so probably gonna go with some performance discs and pads.
The wheels are 15 inch Fox somethings and are wrapped in Kumho's.
Wasn't planning on keeping it long but I really like it now that I've driven it like 140 miles

Not a bad car that mate, looks nice. Atleast you gone GTi, only good ones in my view, plans sound good too. Will look nice once finished, and I think standard rears would look good, but it's you choice not everyones on the internet. Good luck with it, hope it never lets you down dude.

What made you choose the 140bhp over the 180bhp model?
I raced a 180bhp model in my corsa last year and it was neck and neck until 55mph..
I've always loved the rev counters in these for some reason

It was cheap. Never been a fan of 206's but really wanted rid of my Corsa as I was bored with it.

the 180s go for a premium, 140's can go cheap though.
Id see about the mesh chrome lower grill thing you can get, SP iirc.
Nice motor anyhow, id like one myself.

Always liked these, but the wheels totally let it down, why would someone swap them for the standard ones.

I like the wheels tbh. I could've had some standard Pug ones but they were only 14's and I didn't like them.

well apart from a tiny gti badge, it looks like every other basic model 206 is what i meant. just looks nothing special to be a gti model.
