Lovely job. I'm envious of both the cost, and time from start to finish. The bumpers are a bit Marmite, but there's no faulting the skill involved in getting the car completed to that standard. Well done. :D

Sorry to jump on an old post, but my 206cc needs a new drivers side front wing. Seeing the excellent work done here, i just wanted to ask whether the front wings have any spot welds or if they are just bolt on?

Just a couple of bolts.
Be aware that the 206CC has the same "flared" arches as the GTI which is different to a standard 206.

Thanks, that's good to know. Without needing welding it sounds like a job worth trying myself!

Quite easy job. If you get stuck I can do a "how to" for you.

Tks for the offer, i will bear that in mind if i get stuck. I need to sort the roof/boot issue from the other thread first, but once that's sorted, the bodywork will be next!

Didn't I see that one on Copart? I certainly remember one like it, but bodies scare me! I much prefer oily bits (or even carbony ones at a pinch) to replace. There's no subjectiveness involved - they're either right or they don't work! :D

BTW if you can find a normal 206 electric mirror, I believe the only CC unique bit is the triangular part at the corner of the window, which looks to have survived. All you need is a set of torx bits to change over what you need. That should save you a few beer tokens.
Talking of which - to repeat your earlier quetion to me: are we allowed to ask...? ;)

Interesting ref the wing mirror. Would love to know a bit more pls as I can pick up a 206 one for £30 and am happy to do the work myself if it saves me nearly £100!

They clip in at the ends and there are 3 bolts on the top edge of the rear (you can see them with the boot open) there is 3 or 4 in a similar position on the front.
