So a bit about the car ,
Its a 1.6 16v Gti , it has a custom 4-1 heat-wrapped manifold with a ford cosworth cat and a pug sport back box
Its been lowered 40mm on spax suspension
Has mint hrs 15inch matt black alloys with toyor1 tyres
Angel eyes
Upgraded 206 180 brakes
Its also got a saxo spoiler mounted to the standard spoiler
Plans for it include gloss black bump strips on front and rear
Smooth bumper and bonnet (currently in progress)
Tint rear windowns
New gloss black alloys (eventually no rush)
Morrettes (eventually no rush)
Remapp and cam
Make engine bay tidy with a few bits painted up
Get interior custom in black and yellow (small touches )

Nice car mate, by the looks of things I would leave it as it is bar tinting the back windows.
Morette lights would look nice but your current ones also look nice lol :y:

yeah i agree with the black.. never liked fully colourcoded yellow.
and also that spoiler looks odd, good thing you plan on replacing it

Tbh i dont hate the spoiler its certainly always the main talking point some hate it some like it , im very much in the middle tbh , but i will replace in time for sure

Like others have said, i'm not a fan of the spoiler, a MK2 spoiler would look good though, other than that looks like a nice car.
I'd be more interested to see the progress on the 205 though, always wanted to restore one of those.

Ok so i have actually been very busy lately so i will share some progress with u ,
I picked up a bumper and bonnet from rotherham last week and have been getting on with smoothing etc
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps7e9e0e59.jpg
They had been rattle canned matt black so needed fully sanding down
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps098ce006.jpg
Half sanded
Hand a plate welded into the bonnet and skimmed with filler
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps508f245f.jpg
Cut some ridges into the outer edge of the badge groove and fibreglassed pasted it
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps26bbd9b8.jpg
Took off the bump strips and made a start on filling some dints and grazes etc
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps79daf6e4.jpg
Some filling progress
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps327e4842.jpg

http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps23767dac.jpg

Awesome dude! Youve got a real talent for it by the looks! Take it you used the gun for the high build rather than rattle cans?

Coming around to the angels, I much prefer morettes but when it's clean and the white rings at night they actually don't look half bad against the yellow and black theme.

So been wanting to try my hand at detailing , saved some cash bought myself so goodies to make a starts and have had a few practise efforts and finally started to get the hang of it (it's not simple haha takes some doing )
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps02719e78.jpg
Some of the new goodies
Ok so the pics are from the rear quarter of my 106 , it's had a poor respray and getting the paint fully flat is impossible due to the underneath/prep in areas but as anything it can be improved . So
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps96b0c67c.jpg
This is a L.E.D light to show you the small scratches/swirls that most cars are covered in
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps15fac9bb.jpg
This is after a concentrated stage 2 and stage 1 polish compound as you can see fantastic improvement
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps51cf0e7b.jpg
This is after a quick full panel sweep over with stage 1 and 2 there has been a massive improvement but as you can see they are still light scratches , so a much more to be done
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps72fece4b.jpg
A much more concentrated in the same area , full stage 2 and 1 and as you can see great results :)

Ps. My old Yellow and Black leather seats are floating around on Facebook for sale. Take a look.
Lovely motor btw.

So need to update , got the rear windows tinted
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps4f887e63.jpg
After this i decided to go all out and sort the engine bay as this is how it looked
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zpsfd67d312.jpg
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps1102f085.jpg
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps0454d697.jpg
Gave it all a really good clean and polished my rocker covers
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps4381a8f9.jpg
Then i finally painted my rear bumpstrips gloss black
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps35115ab0.jpg
New pads and discs for the gti180 brakes
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zps31c7dd0f.jpg
And then had loads of custom covers made and polished , sanded loads of rust out and a quick blow over , tidyied all loose wires with yellow conduit and then themed the car for the french car show
http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab127/kezzer30/null_zpseaa0d953.jpg
I also got the one of a kind custom windscreen sticker made :)
