The 206gti is a great little car but I have had a few
problems.  This is just a quick sum up of my good and
bad points along with mods that I have done or will
do.

Bad points!:!

The NOISES from the sunroof, rear seat bracket
(fixed), rear pillar, dash.  Its the cheap plastic
they use thats causing all this noises which is
driving me crazy!  Sunroof is also not flush with the
front part, this could be the cause of the noise. 
Will get it checked out at my 8k service.  Gearbox
change not very smooth, I thought by changing the
gearbox oil at 1k would of made it better, its the
same.  The throw from the stick is also too long, RH
mirror is crap, cant see shit out of it!  Also should
have had some 16in at least!

Good points!
Very good little performer around the corners, good
all rounder in the performance.  Styling is great with
a nice solid feel to the car.  Its a lot of car for
the money!

Mods!
Tinted the windows by 30%, looks much better.
Alloy fuel cap on the first second it was no the road.
SP carpet set with the cargo net (of no real use).
Ordered Infinity kappas components for the front
doors, have a 8in sub box, 480w kenwood amp.
Ordered a K&N 57i induction kit, arrive in a weeks
time.
Have SP spoiler, will be painted and fitted when I
colour code the black bumpers and side strips.
On the waiting list for a SP grill in UK, no parts as
of yet.
