new, I like them low.

[ground scraping]

Hi guys and girls.

I'm new here, managed to stumble up on your site while searching the internet for some ideas, I must start by saying some amazing vehicles on here, great jobs!

ok so, my current small project is a 2001 Peugeot 206, I know nothing truly amazing, but i promise there is potential... over here every 18 year old buys a saxo vtr or a 106 and gives it reverse rake and thinks they're "low".... so I thought i'd try and go a little further.....

the day i got her I I threw on a set of 406 coupe 15"s painted white, and a set of Weitec coilovers up front and wound it down approximately 85mm


then adjusted the rear torsion bar set up to roughly 90mm lower


wheels (and balloon tyres) were a little wide, as you can see...


I ran it like this for a little while whilst I thought of ideas for really getting it to hit the ground... then yesterday I went too it.

got it up on the ramps and started by adjusting the rear torsion bar suspension further

before

after


then stripped down the fronts, made some custom collars for the shock bodies to give an extra 30mm drop (on top of the 120mm they're already capable of)

painted up and fitted


now this new low caused a little problem as the wheels are a et12, instead of the et25 recommended, so the car sat on the tyres and required some "flaring"

so we begin at the back as these needed less, (bare in mind we've never done anything like this before so we're "learning")

initial pull and beating

ground and cleaned, "rough"


fronts initial flare and pull..... (very rough)


then as it was very late we threw a little paint just to seal it for the weekend while I use it and test for any rolling problems before we carry on... currently sat approx 140mm lower than standard






FUTURE PLANS

unsure on the front arches so finish or redesign those
Larger "absorbent" rear bump stops as it currently harsher than harsh.
smooth and finish the rear arches
roll the side sill "lip" and re-inforce jack points for easier access
smooth out the rear bumper exhaust recess
complete respray in a matt finish or nato green type colour
fit some dished wheel when i find the right set.

please bare in mind its a project, its by no means finished.

C&C more than welcome, thanks for looking.

This is going to be cool create a build thread.

I wish we could get the 206's here.

[hamersmt]

Good start, any future wheel plans?

Looks cool.

Welcome to S|W.

Thanks for the comments so far all.

Wheel plans so far, I've been considering 15x8 fronts and 15x9 rear banded steelies.

But my friends trying to convince to me go the split rim/dish route....

Still unsure but plenty of time to buy.

I will create a build thread and update during the week with more progress.

Thanks.

That's one fucking low Pug. Nice progress so far, definetely will come back to see what happens next.

I personally wouldn't go with the steelies. Some nicer wheels will help bring the car together and help it stand out even more. I dig it!

Thanks for the comments

I'm not a "wheel" man myself, so the final choice may take some time.

So far we've eyed up the usual BBS but I kind of like the contrast of these....



whatever I choose, I'm going to have to fit some hub spacers/converters as Peugeot use a rubbish pcd, which most wheels of this style dont tend too come in.... . just means I'll end up even wider haha!

any suggestions (in the up coming build thread) would be appreciated.

[hinrichs]

please get those wheels you just posted
