my car has had the rear beam swapped so im running 1.9 gti disc on the rear but have a feeling theres something missing after seeing this pic on another thread

205's don't have a compensator like that, they have a valve on each front to rear pipe. That looks similar to a 106 one but I don't recognise what that beam is off.

looks more like a 306.

Yup, as said, that looks like a 306 beam to me.

 

205 ABS models do have a vaguely similar compensator to that (but one on each side, rather than a combined single unit) but all non-ABS 205's do not. 1.9's will have a pair of in-line compensators just in front of the fuel tank, and 1.6 GTi's have a single compensator on the nearside front chassis leg.

 

So basically, don't worry that yours doesn't look like that picture - it's not supposed to!

That picture looks to be the underside of a 306\ZX\Xsara which is why it doesn't look like yours. (As per Welshpug!)
