Right, basically I tried to join a 205 forum to ask a few questions but even after I wrote my whole life story etc they still havent validated my application

All I wanted to know is if you can still buy genuine gti bumpers, wheel arch extensions etc as when I get my 205 I plan on building it up so it's like new and then getting another one to do an mi-16 conversion to take on track. Tiff, could you possible pm me how much your car cost as it would be really handy to know how much i'd be looking at for one already done.

Hope someone can help me.

Cheers

Stuart.

 

yes you can still buy new parts etc. its been a wee while since i had my MI 205 so ive forgotten the site but theres a decent spares/new parts website and you get things well cheap. Im sure i whole bumper was like Ł28 or summat lol
persevere with the forum. is it the 205gtidrivers forum? or summat like that? if so its pretty good.

Yeah that's the one, just seems rather long winded to get on there. lol.

 

Summat like that, IMO i wouldnt bother with the PGAC as i found it cliquey and full of halfwits

 

that forum is fuckin shite!

i was in exactly the same position as you mate, every time I 'applied' for their poxy forum they wanted more info, got beyond a joke.

in the end i got in though lol and actually sold my mi16 through there so not all bad!

 

and whatever you do make sure and fill in the "location" box or they go mental
also dont dare EVER post pics! links only ok?




chop

 

Haha, I actually put my location as "Naaariiicccchh" same as on here but they didnt understand where that was so i had to change it to Norwich

I dont think you're allowed Norfolk jokes on there

One of the places I used for parts when I rallied a Pug

 

sold a mint 50k mile from new 205 GTi a while back - was one of the best in the country. Reason I sold it was because of the lack of support and enthusiasts. There is psooc and 205gtidrivers but the following they have is nothing like the RS badge and to me thats part of owning a car like these - national day, group meets etc.

There is a mint blue 205 GTi that has the T16 rally car engine in it - its possibly the fastest car I have ever seen.

Go to 205gtidrivers.com and check it out in for sale section. Its only Ł7k i think (I know I said ONLY) but when you see it you will work out why!!!!!!!!!

It wouldn't be much more than doing it yourself and this one is the business!!

 

A guy on here's just put a deposit on that. It was 10.5k i think.

 

Looks like I might have been a bit quick to judge with the forum, my account has all been validated now. Looks like I was just being impatient

 

I shall be sending some pm's your way at somepoint mate if you don't mind as I need to find out as much about making a 205 handle better as possible

 

Excellent forum, I've had various 205's, mi16's, and a s16 and that is the best forum about for them.

Parts are readily available but if you find Pug exspenive also try GSF and autofive.
