205 GTI Moddage

Hi all,

I ordered 40mm lowering springs for the 205 today. I'm fed up with it being standard! Some might say this is a car that should not be fettled with, but I cant resist the bug anymore.

In addition to this I'm going to be refurbishing the alloys. They are all kerbed and the paint is flaking off. I've made a start on one of them (the spare), and painted it................









.... White

The rim needs another coat, then laquered after that. What do you guys think?

This the is look I'm going for (without the graphics)

Nice, didn't you have a 205 ages ago and your username was pugboy before you got a couple of mk1 golfs or am I thinking of someone else?

WHoa... Good memory sir. I was called Pugboy when I first signed up, but I ended up getting a mk1 golf instead. I've wanted one for years - so here it is.

I've found a receipt for a new rear axle, so hopefully it won't be too much hassle to get it out. *fingers crossed*
