Time has come to sell on what has been a fantastic workhorse for nearly 2 years. Over that time I've maintained the car to a good level as it's a daily drive and have put 28k faultless miles on the car in that time.When things needed replacing they have been replaced by standard or GTi6 items, most noticeably the suspension and brakes (standard DTurbo brakes are SHOCKING!!).
I personally think the 205 GTi 15" Speedlines suite the Phase 1 styling very well so I had a set of them refurbished into a dark grey (though they usually look black from a distance) and shod them in simply the best tyre out there, the Goodyear Eagle F1 (fronts were replaced on the 15th August).
Peugeot 306 DTurbo
1995 'N' Reg - private plate not included
178k Miles
Tax 31st Jan 2008
MoT 2nd Jan 2008
Tow Bar
Good Points
Derv Doctor Phase 1 Tuned
15" Speedlines in Dark Grey
Goodyear Eagle F1 Tyres (front 1 week old, rears 7 months old)
GTi6 Front Brakes
GTi6 Front Shocks (Lowered)
GTi6 Rear Beam (Lowered)
GTi6 Rear Shocks
Xsara Washer Jets
JBL GTO 626 Front Speakers
JBL P-93 6x9 Rear Speakers on Stealth Shelf
Peugeot Rubber Floor Mats
Bad Points
10p size wear in drivers seat bolster
Steering wheel showing signs of wear (not bad though)
Small ding on the top of passenger wing but nothing big or massively noticeable
Few little scrapes on the front bumper, again not massive
Small scratch on drivers side rear arch where bumper has been off/on during tow bar fitting
Slight bubbling under paint below rear window, NOT rusted or anything though
Front lip of bonnet has a few stone chips as to be expected
Starter Motor doing the usual 306 thing of not triggering every time though never fails to start (new motor was fitted last summer and cured this for many months but it's returned, lead to believe this is something fairly common with 306's so maybe there's an easy fix?!)
Smokes a bit when starting from cold (normal?) and when coming on boost so may need some fuel tweaking though it did have a Derv Doctor Phase 1 Tune done late last year.
Following pictures are before the lowered GTi6 beam was fitted (and the car is clean!):

The following pictures were taken with the lowered GTi6 beam fitted (but the car is filthy!)

Overall it's a cracking little car that really doesn't show it's mileage at all. Everything drives very well, it's smooth and comfy and has a great ride and stopping power with the GTi6 upgrades.
With all this in mind I'm looking for £1,000, maybe not the cheapest DTurbo out there but this has been tastefully and sensibly modified into a great car that's cheap to insure and fun to drive!
Located in Cheltenham/Tewkesbury area and viewing available any time.
