Project Smooth Astor

Right over the next year ill be having the following done to the car
• boot flushed
• side indicators repositioned
• delocked
not much of a smoothing project i know but i like the front badge and door handles

you all know what the car looks like so wont bother doing before pics but this is what i want it to finally look like
pics used are old so car is lower plus wheel bolt has been replaced






Side indicator repositioning

Ordered a spare one from pug so i could ruin that firstly, £4 inv VAT which is pretty good for peugeot,got some orange led blocks off ebay for bout £7 and set about combining the two of them,plastic on the new indicator has been melted in order to get a snug fit,i still need to sand down the excess plastic around the edges where it has curled over but im happy with it so far

thats good ideas ben i'll be moving my side repeaters there on my rallye i'm just gutted i never had time to move them on the white 1

Side reapeater might make the cars look more modern

Good plans, cant wait to see it for real!

hopefully i can get it all wired up one side by the weekend,and set about covering the back of 1 wing up also

Its a really good idea that and i always thought about doing it on one of mine, the only real big problem i could see would be getting them to sit flush and be perfectly in line... the other option would be to mount it behind the plastic strip and drill say 4 holes through so it looks like there are 4 LED's in place there... could look S**T but i'm sure i've seen that somewhere before.

making it sit flush wont be a problem cause the edges of the led block are slighty curved at an angle,so i can simply touch it up with some filler to get it perfect,and in regards to the wing just drill a few holes in the bit where ill need the extra space behind it, only real way of making a hole big enough is to do little holes next to each other and then simply snap them if thatmakes sense lol

One of my favourite 306's on the club, not overly modded but the mods you have done are nice and subtle.

minor updates, still needs a bit me sanding down aroudn the edges to be perfect








also finally got a approx date for boot smoothing -Early Feb

what route you going to take with the car then?

Well this is to keep me occupied till insurance say yes to the FmiC in november

??? insurance goes up for a fmic

Insurance will be less than what I'm paying now come november when u move to chris knott

primer filler added, still a bit sticky when i took the pic but hardly nay imperfections for the moment, the rough areas in the middle is where the masking tape is covering the lense

minor imperfections so just need to smooth them over with a bit more filler and then move onto colour coding

i now have some paint arriving off ebay (peugeot dealer) so i dont have to wait a month for my local to get the paint in stock in coventry then wait a few days to get it to bridgend.cant wait to get jsut this 1 side done

just been sent this teaser pic

looks like a very good finish whos painting it for you?

local guy called Mat has his own company called Spraytek

hes welded it and everythign for me,he wont let me pick it up tonight cause he wants to polish it tomorrow

is he expencive?

nope.... price he charge to weld filler repsray the boot and do my spoiler for me which is very good price to be fair

£80?

Looks good Ben

Hope the colour is right so it blends in 100%

that pic wasnt there when i looked earlier

Should have removed the glass first, I've got mole grips if you need them.

Seriously though Ben it's looking nice.

nothing secret just put a switch there instead of in the cabin really mate to be honest.

wish i had a pic of the spoiler before cause it looked like acid had dropped on it and was bubbling all over the place
