    Uncommon car thread

    Post up some pictures from the interwebs to your own garage of cars that aren't usually or popularly modified. no s13 or GTRs or 350zs. all uncommonly modded cars.

    My buddy's Puegeot 206. In about 5 years of being really switched on to cars, I've never seen another one done right. If you do see a modified one, it falls firmly into what you guys would call rice. This is the only low 206 I've ever seen, as slamming them is a unanimous pain in the arse (torsion bar rear suspension sucks). However, as a subtle exercise in improving what is otherwise a Euro shitbox, I like this car.

    The reverse rake burns my eyes!

    True that it's the only one almost done right though. They attract body kits

    The photo makes it look worse than it is, but that's with 110mm out of the front struts (that's how monsterously high a standard 206 is)! Gimme a few days and I'll up some photo's of it in current guise. It's now sat on bigger metalflake grey 205 GTI wheels with stretched rubber (which fill the front arches and look ludicrous tucked under the back), but had another 5/10mm out of the front coils, the roof's been painted black, leather Corbeau buckets are in and bits of the interior's coming out in a couple of days for re-trimming.

    In fact, here's a picture I just found on my phone, when we test fitted them prior to painting. Apologies for the horrible quality and lighting.

    I'd like to think my Clubby was uncommon. Don't think their will be many other people on this forum with one anyway.

    That first 206, Im sure lots of work has gone into it but it just doesn't look low, might just be the pics.
