I recently got a brand new Metalic silver Peugeot 206 1.4l Petrol. I have done nothing to it from when i first bought it, and with £800 to spend was wondering what everybody would recommend doing to it. Pre cheers

Well £800 sounds nice!!
Depends what you want to go for 'Styling' or 'Performance'
For styling you could get:
* Clear or smoked lights all round (including angel eyes) - roughly £200 +
* Spoiler - £50+ and then fitting £80
* Alloys - 17s are common around £600+ for a good set
* Interior styling, alloy gear knob, carbon dash, new leather interior....etc
* Lowered!!
For Performance:
* Air filter or induction kit - £25 panel filter - £100+ for good induction kit
* Stainless steel whole exhaust system!!
* Stainless steel rear backbox only £100+
* Chipped £200+
* Quick Shift £25
They are just some ideas!! Hope this helps!!

with £800.00...this is the order i will get and will try keep it insurance friendly... 1. k&n panel filter to replace your existing paper filter, which is nuts! £30-35 (can fit yourself) eBay best bet 2. griffith QS, allow u to get rid of the rubbish notchy gear changing £20-50 (dependent on if you fit yourself?) www.griffiths-engineering.co.uk3. clear crystal side repeaters £10-15 (mostly from eBay and price does fluctuate alot depending on who u buy from??) 4. rear black lexus lights/ JDM black lights £45-70 (mostly from eBay and price does fluctuate alot depending on who u buy from??) 5. alloys....now heres the crux of it...u looking for phat new bling bling alloys or simple style ones, coz the price will range from as low as £400 (cheap 16"-17") to £600 (nice 16"-17") and this is the price including tyres.....or u can try eBay and see if u like any of the original peugeot alloys on there, for example like the nimrods and siroccos, u shd be able to pick these up for £300 and £200 respectively.....for a range of full up-tp-date prices, get the latest edition of maxpower/redline/fast cars etc and they will have adverts in them. 6. any money left over shd be put towards a new performance backbox.....a decent on shd cost about £100-£200 dependent on where u get it from and if u can fit it yourself.....some of the better backboxes are magnex, supersprint, remus, scorpion or devil (if they still exist.) the alloys and backbox is something which u will definately (or 99%) have to tell the insurance company and unless u live in a real rough area like yours truly, then it wont be affected too much. also have u done the passplus with your driving school, coz u may be eligble for extra discounts on insurance?? |

Basically an induction kit only makes the sound when u boot it becasue thats when it works.

If you are going to change the lights you should decided between crystal clear or smoked ones!! See my car for the clear choice!! Dont get clear side repeaters and smoked rear lights!! Get either clear both or smoked both.
The QS can come in 2 types - one is easier than the other to fit, my local garage wanted £30 to fit mine!! About an hours work!!

They do mate!! Depends what you value more tho - more speed or saving your fuel!!
The 1.4 has good consuption already and if you got a forced air induction kit it would make a big difference to your acceleration. But a decent kit is around £150 - 200!!

Well with extreemly high fuel prices atm, i think that fuel consumption > speed. Also Lee i really like the look of yours... apart from the colour  |
