I'm having a hankering for another 205 Gti Spotted a sad looking one locally. How difficult is it these days to get a hold of bodyshell repair panels for these beauties? Sills, floorpans, Quarters etc

Cheapest way if it's possible would probably be to buy the GTi and swap all the bits into the tidiest lower model shell you can find.

There is a company, can't remember the name though, who do floorpans for them. Pretty sure they were a classic car/205 rally prep company. Think they also do boot floor repair section, inner wing sections etc, too.

I'm sure they will do new panels, but they will come at a cost. That said, being them, the fit and finish should be very good.

I came accross them on eBay 4/5 years ago for some bits for a customers 205. They also do 106 panels as I had some inner wing repair panels for a customers 106 Rallye. Might be on my Faceache actually...

There is a couple of people on the 205 Facebook pages that break 205s and can do shell cuts, want to say names are Josh and Ian For certain retroration parts there is websites like BakerBM, Retroraceandrally, retrolion, youngtimers, borderpeugeotspares You can still get some items from Peugeot Museum Then you got pug1off and spoox that sell parts Miamistu is a parts catalogue might be of help find part numbers. I found d helpful finding numbers then typing into peugeot museum website/google Some rear beam parts I managed to get from a main dealer Arie Pronk EMPA does some panels Hopefully that's some help to get you started
