    It is a phase 2 car as others have said, so the rear lights are correct, and the front indicators should be clear.
    The seats are out of a 1990 Miami blue limited edition as 1.6 cars never came with leather seats, only fabric. You can lower the seat if it has the plastic riser blocks under the rail!
    If you’re also going to lower it, you may need a special tool to get the torsion bars out of the trailing arms, they are notoriously seized in there!

      I mean most of the videos on this channel are with Taylor as the host, at this point they can just change it to AutoTaylor and I'm sure everyone will be happy with that lol. I absolutely love every single video this lad makes, fun, educational, the cars he presents are always interesting, just a 10/10 overall viewing experience!

    Peugeot enthusiast here. The mi16 engines are awesome, but they have one big flaw; when making fast turns the oil goes to one side of the engine, causing starvation. A big upgrade for these engines is creating a wall in the oil pan to prevent oil going to the sides.
    Amazing car! LOVE it!!

    i whole heartedly agree with Taylor here. not everthing needs to be kept as a museum piece, especily if its something you are going to spend time with, live with and want to make it right for you. sometimes keeping the magic in something is more important than keeping it like the day it came out the factory doors

    Great review - owned a 1.9 205 GTI ....87 and really enjoyed it - I also had a tuned GOLF 1.9 GTI (BRM racing) but it never quite matched my standard 1.9 205 GTI on performance. Drove a friends RS500 Cosworth Sierra and remember getting straight back in the 205 that I seriously thought was more exiciting!

    Honestly Taylor is such an engaging & interesting person. Auto Alex has genuinely hit on gold by making him a full member of the team. If there is anything to learn from Topgear it’s that if everything is a partnership & equal then everything is everyone’s baby. I genuinely hope you guys all have lots of success so you can keep treating us to great content.

    Definitely have an affinity to the 205. My first car was a 205 XS. Used to fling that thing around the back roads and had so much fun. Always wanted a Gti but was too young at the time and now I’m in the states will have to live vicariously through this series.

  • @dancollier9837

    Don't know if they still produce for the 205 but you can take a look at Baker BM in the UK for some nice parts

    I had a grey 1992 205 gti with the 2.0 from a 306 gti6 and a few bits and pieces to up it to 190bhp. I kept the 1.6 box as they can take the power but it’s a bit shorter. I absolutely loved surprising EP3s, Focus STs etc. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

    I had a 205 SI Auto for my daily commuter for about 9 months. It was a very fun little car to drive. The French electrics drove me mad and it took 2 months to find an indicator flasher relay that worked despite trying every flasher relay and wiring combination possible plus using the wiring diagram. Nope, just didn't work without that magic Peugeot flasher unit from Lithuania.

    Glorious! But the inner car nerd in me is shouting that the later 1.6 GTi had 115bhp and not the weeny 105 you look down upon. I sold these things back in the 90’s (I’m ancient, I know) and I actually preferred the sweeter revving 1.6 over the firmer riding, lumpier 1.9. This was (and still is) the perfect small hot hatch. The French did know how to make teeny B road battle wagons just right.
