Just put the deposit down on my next car, i pick it up in september:

Its a Peugeot 306 1.9 DTurbo S Special Edition (Gold paint and Number plate ends in PVC)

Stock except alloys back box and uprated air filter. I like it because it isnt too over the top on the mods but just enough to set it apart from the rest.

nice,
half of the people on this board wont know how to pronounce Peugeot, but o well :)

One thing I would do is paint the rims gunmetal, so you have black/goldishyellow color combo going. The rims are the only silver part on the car that i can spot.


Why did you black out the license plate #?

Yeah i think it would look good like that, any idea how to go about it?

Blacked out the plates because as of yet it isnt my car, and its curteous to do so ;)

oh i thought you're one of those paranoid people that dont wanna let people see their plates. If you do that on pictures, you might as well do it in real life ... :)


But you can buy special paint for rims (silver, white, gunmetal etc) and you just mask off the tires and stuff and spray paint it. If you want to be really good aobut it, use some 800 grit sand paper and sand it down lil bit so the paint sticks better.

Oh yeah you could use some lowering springs and drop the car maybe an inch. The gap in the wheel well is tad bit too big imo. That being said if you start doing any of the "tunning" (term thats used rather losely) that's popular in europe - hood flowing over headlights etc, i swar i'll fly over and beat your down with a honda civic fart can ...

Will look into the alloy painting, would tie in well with the black trim.

Dont want to lower it, seen them about and the wheels sit to low in the rear arches looks almost like a citreon plus too many speed humps in the roads round here would end up taking the exhaust off, or worse :Q Not into ricer styliejust so it stands out from all the other 306's in the uk!

Nice car. Hopefully you didn't disappoint me by getting anything other than a stick with a turboed car.

TrueBlueLS, i dont drive anything but stick
Nakedfrog, babypanda i havent like this colour on any other car i have seen but for some reason in my eyes it just suits the car down to the ground.
aharami Once the Turbo kicks in it goes will cruise at 80MPH at ~ 3000RPM top speed of about 120/130MPH
maziwanka You remeber correctly, i live up in the hills so we have pleanty of twisty roads sticks to the corners fantastically, not easy to lose the back end in dry conditions.
Descartes Yeah they ride well, only £600 w/ tires as well
