The New Blue 306

The newest car to the fleet is a china blue D-turbo sport. half leather, electrics, non-sunroof and a/c, 90k-ish. At first i didnt like it, but at £550 i couldnt leave it there. it came with 11 months mot and a recipt for £525 from its mot. The turbo was really loud but the car seemed a good buy.

First job was the compulsary door looms to make the windows work, then i swapped some parts with my phase 1, the subframe (cos the phase1 had new arms, links and a 21mm ARB from the S16), the turbo and exhaust (the phase 1 doesnt have a cat

Then After 2 month the Altinater belt broke, wrapped itself round the crank pully, causing the timing belt to jump and bend the valves - The joy.

I put in the engine from the phase 1 using all the phase 2 bits, the A/C never worked and got in my way, so it all got binned while i was there.

I kept the engine standard and just wanted a car that looks half tidy so a few mods and here we are.

1. Genuine SP front bumper (e-bay)
2. Genuine Peugeot side skirts (from the S16)
3. Phase 3 boot (went to london for it)
4. Eccosse boot spoiler (had it on a previous 306 and kept it safe for like 4 years)
5. 17inch wheels (e-bay again)
6. -40mm ROC front springs
7. Front and rear brakes from an XSi, with a newly rebuilt rear beam.
8. morrettes (from a guy that didnt like them)
9. And a really good polish to bring the paint back to life. (still needs a good buffing tho)

and this is the result

That looks fantastic Mark!

Well done

that looks really awesome man

Agreed, does look smart.

Yep does look good mate, you going to complete the sp look or leave as it is ?

I might do something with the back bumper but not to sure what yet, wont be fitting SP fuel caps and other bits, they look a bit pants.

Debadged phase 3 bonnet is next on the list.

I'd say a gti/phase 3 rear bumper with exhaust cut out and a 2.5/3" exhaust

I was thinking about that 2 cos i had to cut the one on there now. i was also thinking of painting the bottom center of it in matt black like a defuser. it looks good in my head.lol. still toying with different ideas. crimbo has taken my spare funds at the mo.

something like this, it doesnt stand out too much but u get the idea, i'll have to paint the exhaust tip too.



I think it looks good, might do it and if it doesnt come out too good i'll get a GTI bumper.

or an ecosse type e rear bumper fully smoothed
