roland206

This cool 206 belongs to a nice guy named Roland. He sent us all this
info as well so we thought he might as well tell us about his car...

Hi there,

I made some new pictures from the car today, so that the pictures on
your site are going to be the one and only on the net. (Till somebody
is going to copy them, but you are the first with up to date pictures.)
But let me tell you some things about the car first.

It started somewhere in July 2000, I went to the Peugeot-dealer and
bought a 206GTI. I had to wait for 7 months they said before the car
could be in Holland. That was a long time, but it gave me the time to
find some nice things for the car.

If you see a standard 206 GTI, it looks too much on a normal 206.

So i thought this car must have it's own look, and i started to think
how can I get a good look for this car.

I had to start with the wheels, this wasn't a easy job becaurse there
are not much wheel with the right ET to fit the 206. So if I would buy
one of these wheel's then it wasn't something special. I came up with
the idea to buy wheels with a ET size to little to fit and filt it up with
specialy designed spacers. That worked as you can see at the
pictures, the car drive's around on 17inch OZ F1 Plus alloys with
205/40 Toyo Proxes T1S tires.(But I want to change them for 18inch
OZ Super Legera's)

The next thing I had to do was lowering the car, so the car was
lowered 50mm in front with eibach springs and koni shocks, the back
of the car was lowered by reseting the torsionbar. This resulted in a
33mm lowering.

Now it was time to find a roof spoiler, this was easy the peugeot-
dealer had 3 different types, I choose a AS-Design roof spoiler. After
that it was time to change the exhaust, they fitted a 101mm round
Devil exhaust pipe.

But still I found the car to similar with the original one.

So I started to surf the net for a good looking bodykit and I ended
the search at PAM-design in France. The next thing was, how do I get
the Kit in Holland. Stroeve Motorsport helped me with this one. Now
all the parts were brought to the Peugeot-dealer and they fitted it,
now the car had to be colorcoded allround. It is sprayed in Gris
Island, and finished with a blue-pink top layer. (This gives a nice
effect in color change with different angles of light.)

I fitted a cold-air intake after that, see pictures.

And let the car to be chipped.

A couple of weeks ago, I changed the inside of the car a bit with alu
parts and other things. I'm still waiting for my Devil Exhaust System it
should be delivered next week.

I also changed the headlight covers and the cover above the
rearlight's.

Roland.
