pocket rocket from France - old, but not quite oldschool

Bonjour mes amis,

alors... encore une fois :screwy:

After my little devils from Renault I want to show you the pocket rocket from Peugeot: the 205 GTI 1.9

Not much talking this time. Mods:

- lowered
- 17" rims
- front lip
- "eyebrows"
- exhaust
- flocked interior
- license plates (Paris / L'Ile de France)
- weathered engine compartment
- covers on foglights (CIBIÉ decals still to be added. d'oh!)
- France shaped "F" decal (common 80's add-on in France)

Hope you'll all like it!

Cheers

Very nice. I really like what you have done. You say it has weathered engine area, but where's the pics of the engine? lol Looks like the doors open, or do they?

Those wheels look fantastic on there too.

Is this a plastic kit? As the proud former owner and racer of one of these little beasts I'd love to build one!

very nice pocket rocket from France, I like it :bananasmi




Mikezibit :biggrin:

Great looking car.

Finish is looking perfect.
Rims could be a bit smaller, but that's just a matter of taste.

Nice :D

This would go well with my 1:1 207 GTi. Love it!

Very cleanly built. Is this the heller kit? Nice job.

Looks cool, these wheels fit !!!!

Thanks for the kind replies, guys. No, unfortunately not available in plastic. It's a 1/24 Fabbri... with some tweaks :smokin:

haaa the 205 GTi...
the dream of all 80's / 90's teenage boys...
Nicely done but modifying diecast isn't my cup of tea.
one note: 75 isn't "Ile de France" registration (ile de France is some kind of "Länder" ;) ) but simply Paris (intra muros as said in Latin, what means Paris without its suburbains belonging to other registrations - 76, 77, 78, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 - composing Ile de France)

Hi,

c'est superbe cette petit 205GTI. let us our two in Frankfurt next to each other place
