My new GTI-6 P1
- Thread starter JoeyD
- Start date
Lol! Opinions are like arseholes etc.
I'm not bothered if nobody likes them, and I do agree that it looks a bit like a chavved up DTurbo. But cyclones look so dull and the spokes are a bit too thin for a Ph1 IMO. They just don't quite look right to me.

That's 2 to 1. I'll take that 
Next wheels:
SL434's (Without the chrome/polished rim)
or
'97 Peugeot 306 GTi-6 P1 by j0eyD, on Flickr
MO5's
It did look good on the Compomotives, but it's been done on this car before...

Don't like Prima Racing ones as they stick out so much! SL Chronos are okay, but remind me of 106's a bit too much.. 2118's are definitely an option - think they'd suit it quite nicely tbh.
SL434's are about £4/500 for a decent set IIRC

I'd get them in 15" probably. Maybe 16" depends on what's available at the time...
I don't like MO6's, they've got one too many spokes! Very common on GTI-6's too.
That's my car too!
E36 M3. 182
16's or nowt for me, need a bit of sidewall....
17's are Massive!
15's will do just fine for me. 16's maybe, depends on the wheel IMO.

Yes then bolt them on.
Yep, cut out the shape of the catch, then drill 6 bolt holes. Annoying part is having the bonnet skin underneath!

Saw you too Steve! Didn't get chance to wave, I was busy being moaned at by my family about how loud it is not got a place in Driffield anymore! Parents have moved well away.
Oooo tomorrow you say Rhys? I've got the day off, might pop down to that. Don't know Bury at all though... Lol!

Yep tomorrow night, and don't worry, I don't know Bury very well either, I just know where it is roughly LOL!
I'll just follow you and hope then! (As long as I don't get gassed out by your engine...
)Have thought about it! I don't know whether to do the dipped beams too though... It's just the full beams at the moment - so they're hardly ever on!
Do you know what, I can't remember! It's either Admiral or Elephant... Pretty sure it's Elephant, but either way there was only about £50 difference between the two!

Keep the wheels! I've changed my mind. They look miles better in person.
Nice to meet you tonight and cheers for the passenger ride too. It's made me want one now, feels really torquey and chuckable.
Still can't believe it's not much bigger than my fiesta, I always remembered my mums XSi being quite a big car, that said I was about 12 at the time.

FOR SALE: 1x 306. LOL Please buy it off me. I NEED an MX5 again!
Nice to meet you too, and likewise!
Mental how big cars have got...
I've done the advert...
1997 - P reg
Currently at 112,500 miles
MOT until December this year
Tax until the end of October this year
Recently had 4 brand new performance tyres fitted (pictures available upon request)
Toyo Proxes
Large service history, lots of receipts to prove.
Cambelt changed at 85,000 miles, receipts to prove.
The car does have a lot of stone chipping on the bonnet and front bumper, and there is also quite a large crack. Cosmetically, it isn't terrible, but it would benefit from some paint work.
I have done my upmost to keep the car in top condition with no expense spared. The engine is always fully warmed up before exceeding 3,000rpm. More pictures of the car available upon request.
Spec:
AeroCatches Bonnet Catches, half leather & alcantara interior (Does have some rips), Piper Cross induction kit, Magnex Catback exhaust (Spare back box and decat included), LaminX'd main beams (can be removed), 106 S1 Rallye Fog Grilles, De-wipered, De-badged, 283mm brakes with fairly recent pads and discs, ABS, electric windows and mirrors (up and down adjustment only), Standard Peugeot Alarm, remote central locking (Key needs a new battery, both keys present), V5 present.

LOL!
Seb's car is awesome. I'd love one as a second car.
Good to meet you last night mate.

Yeah, you too Chris! Enjoyed it last night tbh.
F**king deadly serious. I loved everything about that drive - the noise mostly! But the Steering feel, gearbox, throttle sensitivity... and Oh god the seating position!
It's like driving around in a pantomime - hilarious!
Definitely want another white one (but one in decent condition this time) or a BRG one. Hmmmm
It'll be going up for around £1,200, but make me an offer! At the moment, I think I'd take anything! LOL

I was actually looking at your car a few days ago, wishing I had a bigger budget!
My heart's set on another hairdresser-mobile though. I just can't live without a hair dryer and clippers in the boot anymore
Your FRP needs to go to a Proper Ford enthusiast who'd appreciate the arch gap TBH!

I'm 20, and they wanted about £900
But P1's are cheaper to insure than the facelifts. Tried adding your mum or some other females as named drivers? Makes a hell of a difference.
