Hi folks, is there any chance to figure out how many Dimma´s were build at Dimma HQ in belgium? I was able to purchase a Dimma Cti and will pick it up this weekeend. As i know the Dimma´s wich were build at Dimma had a plaque underneath the factory plaque with the chassis number, right?

G'day For some reason have decided to go down the wide arch route on my 205. I Have a "dimma style" kit off an scrapped car (I know). I was after a bit of advice. Im going for a more rally style look as its stripped and caged already. I have full 309 front and rear set up so little bit wider. I really dont want to use spacers if possible. 1. Wheels - What wheels are people using? Any recommendations? Have seen the dimma st replicas for £400 each - bit too rich atm. Have considered banded steels (15 or 16) but not really the look I am going for. Seen the image wheels too...again a bit rich @ £300 each. At the moment the front runners are revolution RFX wheels - 15's 7" at the front ET0 and 8's ET-6 (Bout £580 for a set). I was really after 16's..so...basically -Does anyone know of any alternatives I am missing? have searched A LOT but so far not a lot. -Also with the 309 set up do you think I could get 9's (15's) on the rear? I know the dimma st site states max is 8's on the rears....(but for 16's) 2. Jacking - How do you jack up a dimma? bottle jack on beam or chassis? I was thinking of cutting a section out of the kit each side front and back for the standard jack and seal it etc. Anyone done this? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! Cheers Hud

Hi Guys and Girls!, New to this forum but not to the 205 ( well about 3 years of owning them now ) But anyway, i have a 205 TT ( turbo technics ) Dimma so it is fitted with a quafie diff.. but prior to the Dimma i had a bone stock 1.9 GTi with over 170k Miles on it! Even the shocks were standard! It was quite tired and needed a bit of work i fixed it up enough it drive it for 6 months then decided id rather sell the car then get the engine rebuilt due to low oil pressure... But despite its poor condition the car was still a pleasant driving experience. and my Dimma just doesn't feel right... yes its bloody quick but it feels very poorly set up. ( Im going to totally restore the car so expect a new Restoration thread within a year or so ) When i turn into a car i get to a certain point before the steering suddenly gets heavier ( car is a non-pas ) its not gradual at all. it snaps oh heavier. Im thinking the Quafie could be shot. Theres nothing blocking the tie roads or any of the steering components.. The car doesn't feel that well balanced compared to my standard 1.9 yes it needs new shocks and bushes somewhat but im after a second opinion. has anyone here driven a Genuine Dimma ( with the wheels ) and a 1.9 and noticed a difference ? Please advise Mitch
