Afraid i prefer the 205 myself :D

Am sure those wheels will help me become undecided when they're on though.

imho owning both the 205gti is very over rated. it had quite a bit more power than the 106 but the driveability just isnt the same plus the maintaince costs the bang for buck sounds good to begin with but just isnt worth it with an old french car. plus for some reason every part on them has 6 or 7 different varieties and are seriously over priced
