Since you already have a Jeep Wrangler at your disposal, how about something like this?

The jobs never end; i relocated my washer bottle under the scuttle panel and junked the standard 205 shuntbox in favour of a mk4 golf one that mounts on top of the battery or maybe in the space left by the washer bottle - loads more clearance for the afm/air filter all round.

Only problem is the Jeep is 4500 miles away back home in Alaska... but it would be not too much work to remove the body and drop the CTI on top. Handling would suffer!

Did you think about relocating the battery to the trunk? I am thinking of that for my CTI.

Removed the decals from my rear quarter badges as they were too orangey and re plasticared them.

I have considered it, i have all the necessary parts to move the battery to the boot since i did that on my 306, but i'd prefer to keep the bootspace in the 205 and it wouldn't help much more, with regards to clearance, than moving the washer bottle has already.

Put 8 tonnes of pressure on the rear trailing arm...No I did not have fat passengers, the torsion bar was properly seized in there and it went with an almighty bang! This was after we tried a blow torch and sledge hammers. Shame I had to cut the torsion bar, cannot sell them as a pair now, unless anyone wants to weld 306 GTI torsion bars back together?

What's that metal thing on the rear quarter? I seem to recall they had something to do with an alarm but I was never sure what.

Back in the dim and distant days when remote alarms were expensive and unusual, but 1.9GTis needed to be nailed down to stop 'em going walkies...

 

Having said that, I'd have thought a key-op alarm was old-tech by the early '90s. Maybe the owner was paranoid about the bad boys sniffing and cloning what, back then, would have been low tech and simple alarm codes?

I've got one on my 205 too. It's on the rear quarter next to the door. No metal flap, just a plastic finish in matching white, with a key slot. No idea if it's connected up to anything but I'll find out in due course when I pull the interior out.

Halfrauds used to sell fake "alarm key holes", along with the little window stickers...

Is that that soda stream you were telling me about? How effective is it?
