What engine did the car originally have? Sherwood green is a great colour in my opinion and good luck with the conversion. Practical family gti6 FTW.

Oh dear. Most of those have dw8's and the only p3 parts are the crystal headlights! Most have p2 bumpers and p1 rub strips. I have seen a few evergreen HDi's fully p3'd as standard with 15" steels and 406 wheel trims.Get some pics up  ________________________________________ |

It's got the full ph3 bumpers and side strips, it's butt ugly but adds to the sleeper look, going to hopefully get some 15" steelies and them 406 wheel trims that look a bit like 205 speedlines what's dw8? |

Dw8 is the 1.9 non turbo diesel that was used as the base diesel engine. Similar to the 1905 xud9.It would definately be a sleeper mate. It would definately surprise people. The 15" speedline trims look good in my opinion. ________________________________________ |

Fair play mate. Get some progress photos up as we all like to see what folks get up to. 34 posts later and I still can't work out what the original engine is. ________________________________________ |

Later Phase 3 hdis came with the 15" steel wheel as standard and the same 15" wheeltrims as the D8 406 LX's, called "quartz" (thats the name of the wheeltrim LOL)Tyres would be 195 55 15 but H rated. Easy fit on this project would be 4 x gti6 steel spares, using the OE cyclone bolts under the trims. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?
