106gti sundance yellow
#1
2 nights ago I officially became a 106gti owner and this is the very nice little number I picked up

It's a 2000 reg gti with 84k on the clock , lowered 40mm , colour coded bumpers , hrs alloys with toyo r1 tyres , upgraded brakes (206 180) , and a 4-1 custom heat wrapped manifold with cosworth cat and pug sport backbox and angel eyes headlights, it also has a quickshift

I wanted something to replace my 205gti while I restore it over the next few years , and all I will say is what a fantastic car a delight once you hit 4000 revs ,

Future plans include , smooth bonnet and grill , rear tints and upgrade cams and remap

Thanks for looking , comments welcome

Looks great. I'd love to have a drive in one, I can only imagine they would drive like a 306 but slightly better due to the weight/size advantage.

Also got a black an yellow boot badge to swap for the old one
[Image: null_zps0ed85093.jpg]

Picked up set of cyclones aswel , quite funny young lad wanted £100 for his (properly painted high gloss black) but got them for £70 due to being rattle canned all day long with terrible prep this is how i got them

I didnt take any super close pics but you can see there rattle canned anyway i cracked on with them

Sanded them all down with virtually zero black remaining

Primered , flatted and ready to paint

And painted

And a few cheeky close ups of what i call a high gloss nice finish

Just need to swap tyres over and a light flat and buff and they can go on Smile

Also picked up a bumper and bonnet to smooth

This is how i picked up the bumper it had being rattle canned matt black

Sanded it down

Cut some ridges in the edge of the badge groove an fibreglassed it , this will stop it cracking easily and give it abit more strength

Filling

I loved my 106 GTI, as said, not much else feels as much fun after one of these. I'd get rid of the colour coding and angel eyes but otherwise it's a cracker!

Can't believe I have only just seen this.

I have a massive soft spot for nana 106 Gti's. This looks a stunning example too.

Great work Smile how are you going to match the new paint on the bumper to the original?

I love everything apart from the angel eyes....

Think standard Peugeot lights with black masks and the angel crystal lenses would look great though
