pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted February 10, 2007 Look standard to me, same as the ones in a 1998cc XU10 I have downstairs but even if they are aftermarket you couldn't tell without cleaning them up. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16v205 9 Posted February 10, 2007 My XU10 turbo pistons had a completely flat crown, no shaping at all. There must be different versions knocking around or something? Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,666 Posted February 10, 2007 i remember from a thread on here not too long ago that there are 2 versions, unsure wether they have a different compression ratio or just a different shaped top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rippthrough 98 Posted February 11, 2007 Must have been quite a while back, that one's still got the proper 206 doors on it hasn't it? Got wider and lower since then, looked a lot more aggressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
