So after the 205 dying it was time to finally move on so I went out and bought this
The next morining I fitted JOEYS steering wheel
also gave it a cheeky stage 1, fitted a back box, de wipered the back and removed some stickers which where not to my taste.
Over all I'm loving the car and my plans are to make it a fast road car for a bit of comfort not like the old balls out track-spec 205

Cheers guys.
Yeah I had to have some reminder! But for future reference they are a good upgrade for a 306 as they stick out a lot more like a dished wheel due to the column sticking out further on a 306.
Exterior plans as probably space out the rear and raise it a tad, maybe a subtle spoiler. Otherwise not a lot really as I quite like the looks

Like it Max! Will miss the 205. It looked epic but onwards and upwards and all that.
If it was my car, id replace that red IC pipe with a black one for a more stealthy look.

This looks awesome mate. It's a shame about the 205 but that definately is a worthy replacement! Love it!

Nothing a dose of rain-x won't solve!
Looks awesome mate, looks a great colour, and as you say, it only really needs a few subtle changes to the exterior to make it your own.
I also can't believe it's had all that work done to the body without even a stage 1! Good work though, like this a lot.

Plans will be a fast back road comfy car not a balls out track style like the last. Planing maybe a GT20 fast spooler with an 11mm pump
