Nice Modded 206cc on eBay

Â£15k spent on mods but if I had the choice between this car and a standard CC I think I would take the standard one.

This would only be a worthwhile buy if you could break it for parts and make a profit.

Yep, I don't understand where the 15k has come from and I asked him. He broke it all down for me and I thought each one was a rip off. I've completely transformed the look of my cc inside and out for under 2k and I personally think its tasteful, so I really don't get it. Its wierd as he asked to see pictures of mine which I emailed then I never heard anything from him. I think he realised that he had been ripped off. But now 15k sounds lilke nothing compared to the supposed 52k on the other modded 206cc on Autotrader that i posted a few days back!

I didn't spend a great deal on mine and got all the work done at Ecosse and wouldn't have swapped it for that car in a million years.

Ditto. I did my work by myself, but i wouldn't swap it for anything. Is your car on the Eccose site? I have seen some nice ones on there.

The only pic of it is on the Ecosse site to advertise the clear rear fog light

There are some pics here, the latter ones are from nearer the end....

Very nice Derek. I love seeing the gradual changes. I really liked the finished article! You have done something i want to do....you lowered it! I can't do that unless I get a set of 19" wheels as my front spoiler is so low to the ground, it scrapes so much. I have the springs but never used them. I can't afford new wheels (and i really like my wheels!) so it has to stay un-lowered. I don't really mind too much, but it would have been nice.

Being honest, lowering made it look a lot better but with the splitter it was too low and the car being lowered put a lot of stress on the suspension components causing premature wear and tear.

I loved the car. If only it wasn't for the continual faults/issues/problems/crap customer service then I would probably have got the 307CC I intended buying at the time.

I've heard this from a lot of 206cc owners. Before I bought mine, it seemed apparent that the 2.0 ltr model had some serious issues which pissed me off as I wanted a 2.0, but i settled on a 1.6 due to the fact it seems to be more reliable than then 2.0 and so far, it has been excellent. I had the engine chipped so I don't think i'm too far behind the 2.0 performance now. Touch wood, it continues behaving itself! I really love everything about the car. I would never ever take it to a Peugeot dealer for service or repair as they are just con artists.

I even stopped using the dealer for warranty work because they were that bad in the later stages of ownership.

I used Ecosse for any work required as I knew they would do a good job and actually knew what they were doing - unlike the dealers.
