Welcome, commiserations with the p**s stained paintwork!  We cant all be manstone drivers though i guess.... So pressumably you'll just want to lower it, drop some weight, induction kit etc? Maybe a stainless exhaust system? Is it in standard form at the moment? ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

Best ways to improve are probably 1.) Decent service 2.) Decent tyres. Cheap and effective.________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Put the cat back in and a small mid section so people will know its not standard but not stupid loud. Longlife make exhausts to suit your taste, depends what noise your after tbh mate ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

well what direction do you want the car to go into mate, fast road? decent tyres and brakes will make a difference compared to budgets and tatty standard ebay pads and discs, for handling biggest difference ive had are solid rear beam mounts, makes the car handle rediculously well. but it all depends on how much you want to spend ££££££ ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

I have grooved and drilled all round with ebc pads and I have hankook tyres on which got a better rating than Toyo proxies that I was going for. I want to mod the interior and engine bay to tidy it up a little and try find the air filter lol |
