Love the wheels on that

Yeah its got a couple of minor dinks here and there.And the 1 you noticed.

For the money though, i can't grumble.Will probably make a few £ when i come to sell it.

Liking it so far anyway.Perfect for what i need just now.

Only thing that has taken getting used to is the long reach to the steering wheel.

And regarding the door, had a look 2day and it does look slightly different colour wise.Its not too noticeable mind you and the pics seem to have picked it up worse than in real life.

Some of the haters at work like to have a good nose around and try pick out bad points and they never noticed so thats good enough for me.lol.

Regarding thread title, its not too hard to understand.
Some people just love being deliberately obtuse.

Looks a nice car mate. I had a 206 and loved the styling/look but hated the car itself.
My old one

Quick question, was yours a facelift version or did you fit the facelift boot strip yourself??
Going to see a set of them rear lights 2day aswell,off a GTi180 but they are just the same as the facelift 1s.

Rear lights off the 180's are the same as every other ph2 post 2001 model.

Yep.Same as the facelift as said.Think he is maybe just trying to boost his sale trying to trick people in to thinking they were GTi180 specific.

Do you know if the boot strips are are straight swap between P1 and P2??

It was a ph1 but multiplexed (post sept 2003 wiring). Yeah all the ph2 bits fit easy but the boot sometimes has a ridge worn into the paint on the badge area that sticks out with a ph2 strip.
