Ok, so last time I posted pictures of my car, is had a knackered rear beam, crap trim and rubbish wheels. Thats changed! I had the rear beam replaced with a refurbed one a few weeks ago. My trim is still off getting a refurb, but I've got some new wheels in the meantime:

And, of course, 4 of these:

Thoughts?

I think the wheels look ok, although I don't know what it looked like beforehand!

In which case, yes, looks a lot better.

I assume this is on ongoing thing, as you stated it's a project

There's some really good projects on here which was not something I expected to find on these forums!

Yep, I bought it for £250 last May, and since then I've done:

Both driveshafts (common thing on 205's)
Brakes all round
Rear Beam
New Seats
Changed starter motor and alternator

plus loads of other stuff too

Is that a joke dude?, I recon it's a tall mother.

Thats standard ride height

Don't forget this is the car that pretty much defined the term "hot hatch".

Doesn't really matter how tall the car is, the weight is well distributed and not much of it..

One of the best handling FWD cars ever made...

Are you leaving the trim off deliberately? or is it going back on at some stage?

Its going back on soon, I've refurbed it all in black, but I'm having trouble finding the studs for the arches. Peugeot want £22 for each corner :eek:
