  1. Now add £3.5+K to the price of that for the inevitable engine build he'll need. That's why they're so cheap and I'm avoiding like the plague. I think I'm stuck between the 206 gti 180 and the 207 gti. Plan is after we're married and we've got our house, I could look at a new Alfa Romeo mito. Love the look of them. Or get a small engined fiat 500 or something and only pay 8p per mile so I get 32p per mile back from them and bank the extra.
  2. Fair play. Is that the norm though or were you just lucky?
  3. Not a fan of its looks and want something low mileage so it might last longer with less problems. Touch wood.
  4. Dunno about the gti but the gti 180 was really enjoyable imo. Not sure how it compares to the 205 gti. But as a car on its own it was good.
  5. Yep that's the one bad thing about it. Still considering a 207 gti 1.6 turbo vs the n/a 206 gti 180. Anybody got any ideas on it? Only driven the 206.
  6. I'm a pioneer fanboy so it will be that. Ideally 8800bt or if I went single din the 7800bt.
  7. Thought about that. It's just that it's more likely my next car after this will use a double dip so easier to transfer over to maintain the same look.
  8. So back in january I sold the zed. Very sad times. It wasn't really being driven and I needed the money. Getting married next year. Anyways since then, I've been using my fiancee's 1.4 206. Didn't need a car of my own so didn't bother me. Well on Monday I got made redundant (I worked for BHS). Then on Tuesday after two months, I finally got offered a new job. I start on the 6th September. I need a car for this and I'll get paid travel mileage from home. 40p per mile. Anyways, with the wedding next year and the need to save for a house deposit, I can justify spending too much money ATM. So I'm thinking a Peugeot 206 gti 180. Seen one for £1700 with 45,000 miles. It's what I had before the zed, nippy and only costs 19.7p per mile. What I'm looking for is some advice on modifying the dash. Standard looks like this... I've seen online that someone's changed it to fit a double din headunit. Like this... Anybody got any advice on how I'd do this?
  9. Oh wow I miss my zed. Gonna be buying a new car for work soon. But it needs to be economical. Still dream about having a zed, nearly ever other night.

  12. Lie and sod's law says you'll get caught when you have an accident and you won't be able to claim. For the matter of a few quid, why lie? My personal opinion, lie and I hope you get caught.
  13. Just saw these on BBC news and had to share. Through The Night - the passion of motorsport - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-36965592
  14. Ask for Chris and tell him Dipam referred you.

  16. Got another on my right wrist. Want a few more. But I've agreed to wait until after we've got married.
  17. Where are you based? I know the garage who fitted Pete's. They are in Swanley, Kent.
  18. Oh yeah. Rickdon. Oops wrong person.
