redhair 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Is someone able to tell me in which colours the 205s were available, official releases from Peugeot, sorted by models and special editions, and maybe you know the original names of the paints or some stats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tesstuff 222 Posted December 21, 2008 redhair, this forum is part of a site called 205gtidrivers and is located at www.205gtidrivers.com and on the main page is a top tab called 205 GTi Info once you click this you will see on the left a sub menu titled Technical Specifications, scroll down for all the info you have asked for.

steve@cornwall 100 Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Is someone able to tell me in which colours the 205s were available, official releases from Peugeot, sorted by models and special editions, and maybe you know the original names of the paints or some stats? On the home page, goto 205GTi info, then history and statistics and all will be revealed Pinned paintcodes thread in forum bodywork section will give you the paintcodes, too - It's all on the site (I type very slowly - it's like Tesstuff said) Edited December 21, 2008 by steve@cornwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redhair 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Oh, right! Thank you and sorry, just found it, this website is fantastic! But I am also interested in other models, like Rallye or XS or is it not the right forum to ask (cause it's a GTi forum)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redhair 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Well, I think the Gentry was also available in gold metallic, right? And it would be interesting to know if there was a black Griffe model? My knowledge at the moment: GTi and XS (no special editions): main colours were white, black and red, additionally metallic silver and anthracite. Rallye: white, but I already saw some yellow (and also some white) models (I think 1.4s) without wheel arches, which were not seeming that they were available in Germany, just like the 1.3s.

Mammoth task! There's lot of misleading info. on the internet about 205s - I've just looked at a few sites and not many were part way accurate. Wiki seems to have some good info. though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_205 Also, Peugeot seemed to enjoy giving different spec. cars to different parts of europe which makes it even more difficult. GB definately had yellow Rallyes (1.4s) and "champaign beige" gentrys. AFAIK there was no black Griffe (GB didn't get the Griffe either) but we did get the 1FM of similar spec and in black only. Apart from that, all manufactures seemed to be calling any car with a different sticker on it a "special edition" during the time of the 205 and peugeot were no exception - Roland garros, aztec, inca, open, lacoste, look are a few that spring instantly to mind Good luck with this and I'd love to see how your project develops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted December 21, 2008 The Gentry was available in a Gold metallic but the Griffe was afaik only made in the metallic lazer green. The closest to a black Griffe model would be the 205 1FM. This was a UK only model of which only 25 were ever made to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Radio 1. The 205 GTi was available in a longlist of colours over its life spoan, including besides those you've listed, Sorrento Green & Miami Blue became list colours after the imited edition run & in the UK the Griffe colour (Lazer green) was available for a short period but afaik it wasn't a limited edition colour. UK Rallyes were available in Yellow & white. There is a full list of the Peugeot paint colours & paint codes in this topic but I'm not sure if it breaks down into actual model specific codes like the Gentry. Graham.

redhair 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Interesting topic, it seems to be really hard to assign colours to models and editions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
