New person alert

Post by swiss »

Hey dudes and dudettes. I'm Tom, and I own the world's sexiest shiny green 406 1.9l TDi. Yay me!

Problem is, me wife just bought herself an even sexier 2.5l Omega (boo, hiss) with, for some reason, a BMW V6 in the pointy end. So here's the thing - I need to pimp the hell out of mine in order to restore the balance of yin and yang in our gaff. I'm thinking I might get some offensively bright headlights, and maybe some blue interior lighting... and maybe even try and fix the passenger airbag cover, which it seems peels very easily on 406s. Alloys are a bit beyond my price range at the mo. Anybody able to suggest any other cheap, cheerful and pimping mods?

Gotta go with some bluey (chrome) bling and a Mk1 laguna splitter on the front.... :wink:

Keep your eye on ebay for alloys, I've seen standard ones go rediculously cheap!

Welcome by the way :cheesy:

Sorry Swiss but every time I see your name here I think "driving a Peugeot 406 is very much like making love to a beautiful woman".
