LOL, they're horrendous  Only the 1.9's 15s are "nice". I like the 1.6 ones and my car. I like your car, but not the rims |
look very nice, but i was pleasantly surprised. And i still LOVE the look
of the front of a 205 GTi. Looks fantastic IMHO

The 1.9 ones would look stupid on a non GTi car. Pah ! A friend of mine bought a 205 1.6 GTi last year. I sold him my 16" TSW Alpines (5-spoke jobbies, left over from the 405) to stick on it - and it looked AWESOME ! They're not 15" Speedlines though, are they |
no lowering kit is coming anywhere near my car!

What do the diesel pugs go like ... are they of the performance flavour (bearing in mind the pug 205's are almost as light as the citroen ax's). Whats the 0-60mph of these?? |
Just over 12 seconds with 78 PS.

11.5. With just me and a nearly empty fuel tank, it's about 9.5 (and I
have the accelerometer plots to prove it
I have no idea what it is whenyou've got 5 people on board, but it's pretty slowwwww.
They go pretty well, for a small car which does 55 to the gallon, although
mine is pretty noisy on the motorway.
One day I'm going to have Allard fit an intercooler and do some fuel pump
tweakery - they reckon 105BHp (up from 78), which should be nice...

'Cos they are so light, it depends how many people / how much fuel you have on board. On my GRDT, with me and my dad and a full fuel tank 0-60 is ~ 11.5.

will take some measurements to see where it'll fit. Hopefully it will go on
top of the engine (like it does on a BX/405) with an auto bonnet fitted and
a vent cut into it. Well thats the current plan anyway

Already got an intercooler and manifold lined up for a cheap price. Then i will take some measurements to see where it'll fit.

Although I prefer the idea of mounting the intercooler at the front |
in, instead of on top in the nasty warm air off the engine. I suppose some
sort of mad max style bonnet scoop would also work

not an option as it will get beaten off, and i dont htink there is room in
between the engine and rad. When i get it and know the size i can obviously
check though. I want to keep the vent as subtle as possible

external wing to carry the air and radiate from the actual bodywork? You can
probably live with a bit of heat from the front rotors ^H^H^H^H I mean discs.
