Here are some of the pics from the Saxo VS 206 shoot, I won't have time to sort them properly so I just chucked a bunch together,

Update, I gave her a clean last weekend and I found some f*cking twat bag has reversed in to my car leaving a small, but still noticeable mark on the front bumper! You already may have guessed that they hadn't left a note

On a brighter note, she got a snow foam and a jolly clean ... my interwebs is shit slow so only 2 pics;

Snow foam



& a pic of how she will look with her new plates when I get the V5



Also;Reet well kinda an update, not so much on the progress of the car but here goes...


So, I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to make it faster, and it wasn't till this weekend and not having the previous owners plates and car still registered to him that I have been able to have a proper little play...

I can honestly say after not taking it so easy on the car and delving in to the VVT on some nice windey roads on the way back from Milton Keynes yesterday that it showed it's true colors... It's everything how I remember my old one to be... a great exhilarating drive, it revved hard all the way to just before the redline picking up speed very quickly within VVT. I have to say after having a proper drive in it I don't miss my Saxo as much as I thought I might and i'm proud to own something that's a little special in my eyes with what I believe has the passion others say was lost in the new Pugs.

Treat it nice and it becomes sedate and civilized, rev it hard and really work it and it really does suprise, before I went out I had been reading an old article on it ad some forum posts where it was compared to the Clio's, tbh wasn't a great review as we all know. I came back feeling that the 180 had been subjected to an injustice, it's no where near as bad as made out and I bloody love it :thumbup:

Sure it's not as raw, and hardcore and noisy as my Saxo but when you give it the beans and commit it rewards and that's what drivings all about to me.

Anyway bonner time over...:flappin:

This weekend I stumbled across some empty spray can used for hair and they are a very close to the actual colour of my 180 so I thought it would be rude not to, so I now have my Qd' in these;





Also, you may have noticed the frebreeze, it smells similar to Dodo Juice Red Mist so that's now a part of my detailing kit

I love the second photo

[Jamie]

Updated pics;

Changes are minimal, got my plates on + changed the gash rear lights for stock parts! & It's been nicknamed (I usually think nicknaming a car is gay but...wait til you hear it... SONIC... uncanny IMO lol)

I guess I could have spent a little more time on the windows lol + tire shine was in Bedfordshire (I was in London)

You may also notice the small scuff on my cars nose due to some ***T

I Know it needs lowering so before you say it - It needs lowering, unsure about S wheels though.. maybe some Team D's lol.

(It won't be getting either, just planning to keep it clean and standardish)

Oh yeah and it just sailed through it's first MOT @ just under 30k.

They failed me on illegal numberplates so I had to buy new legally spaced ones on the day to pass it though lol...

+ I got a cuation for having a loud exhaust... I've heard louder farts...















Comments more than welcome,

Jamie

Anyway...

I decided it was time to semi sort my car out for The French Car Show!

Heres my method;

Rinse down, pannels degreased
Tardis to remove tar (duh)
Iron X to decomtaminate
Rinsed
Wheels then got treated with Iron X and cleaned down
Car then recieved a warm PH Neutral snow foam Mix with Dodo Juice Supernatural Shampoo & a little Meguairs Gold class shampoo.
Rinsed
2 BM with Dodo Juice Supernatural + Chemical Guys Maxi Sudds II
Rinsed
2 BM with Dodo Juice Supernatural shampoo
Rinsed
Dodo Juice Time To Dry applied & car dried via I4D Uber Blue Drying Towel
Car wiped down using Menzerna top inspection
The car was recently clayed so after decomtamination the paintwork was as smooth as.
I then proceeded to polish the car via hand using Menzerna polishes, Menzerna 85 RD & power gloss.
The car then had another warm PH nuetral snow foam, Dodo Juice Time to dry & dry with the Uber towel.
I then wiped the car down again with Menzerna top inspection
Followed by Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical and left it for 2 hrs
Came back and applied a layer of Dodo Juice Blue Velvet soft wax
left it to cure for 3 hrs
Finally I applied another coat of Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical to finish the paintwork (don't have the funds to perform correction atm)
The wheels were sealed with Auto Glym power gloss & tires with Meguairs Endurance gel.
Exhaust naturally recieved a some treatment with Autosol!
Sorry for the lack of pictures, it started to look like rain was on it's way so I stopped!
I also applogise for the most un structured write up you will possibly ever have to endure lol!

Pics!














Finished product, promise next time I'll get pictures from the polishing, Wax & sealant stages!





I won 2 awards on the PerformanceTorque stand for best show car and cleanest car.

Any comments welcome, doesn't seem like anyones fussed with this though!

Jamie

[Delboy]

surely it is illegal? for a car to be so god damn sexy!

[Jamie]

Haha thanks mate

[timmythechef]

I do kind of miss mine, see it around sometimes and think if only i had it back

[Jamie]

I missed my old one until I ended up with this beu

Literally loved my old one, but bastard pikeys destroyed it which gave me the excuse to upgrade to my ST at the time, still missed the drive even in a E0 ST, although I'd have my ST back in a heartbeat lol.

[Jamie]

Haven't updated this in a while...

I have removed a few of the rear badges to make it look cleaner & added a new style SP badge to the front grille in terms of any progress lol

Ohhh almost forgot I also bought some powerflex exhaust rubbers as the stock ones were nackered so the exhaust sits 100x better

Anyway...

A few days back I gave it a nice clean, polish, & wax...

Polish used - Dodo Juice Lime Prime Light (non abraisive)
Wax - Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Hard Wax

Today I gave her a QD -Dodo Juice Born Slippy to remove any surface dust ready to be sealed...

LSP = Dodo Juice Red Mist

Comments & suggestions welcome

The 206 is really growing on me. Still miss your VTS though. Great pictures Jamie, it was also nice to see your car at FCS.

Anything planned for this car or is it just there to be enjoyed as it is?

Thanks Harry,

I miss the S too. Wish I could have kept both but my stupidity sometimes get's the better of me lol

In terms of plans,

-AP Coilovers
-B&M stlye quick shifter (unless I can buy a B&M but they stopped producing them)

But I'm moving in to my own place soon, buying a Siberian Husky & booking a holiday so... unsure when I will be able to get them both lol

[harry289]

Ah i can afford insurance on a VTS now. Wish i could get hold of yours. One of my favourite VTS' of all time.

Siberian Husky, get one with deep blue eyes. I'd love one of them too.

I know how you mean about moving house. Me and the GF have got our own place and may resort into just using her black 55 plate fiesta zetec lol untill we get settled.
