Subtle boot spoiler for £85.00
Found this by accident, it's the nice slimline spoiler.
When I went to Spain recently I saw three 406's and they ALL had these fitted as standard
Spolier linky

I would if I was going to 'do up' all the other bits like clutch, rear knocking, engine mount, re-mapping etc then the spoiler would be a nice add on.
It would be foolish, would it not, to spend on cosmetics when mechanics are more pressing.
When I saw those 406's on holiday they did look good with this spoiler. Like it was always meant to be fitted.
I'm at the 'can't see the point in spending money on the thing' stage. I reckon I could easily spend £1,500.00 on my car and I would be reasonably happy then. BUT - why spend £1,500.00 on a car worth £1,800.00? especially as the work will add no value to the car (when does it ever?) then I would be dissapointed by the brakes/suspension after the remap, and it goes on
I think I would rather invest in something else really. I've never had any car longer than 2 years, I get bored.

Damn it, I fall for this every time...
Took a good look at the last (big) picture and for a while thought that oh, there´s a nice lookin´6 driving itself....
The right-side-left-side traffic dilemma I just can´t get into my thick skull...
About Welton´s link: In Finland those similar lookin spoilers were fitted as standard on the boots of 2,2 sport models..

I do like the smoked rear lights, is that out of a spray can? The de-badging on the rear looks good to
I call her Starbug 1, because she's green with intergalactic milage!! I do love my D8 diesel.

Re: Subtle boot spoiler for £85.00
I had to drive a daihatsu move for a while, looked like postman pat's van with a spoiler
Looked as though it could be used for stacking it with a forklift!

Remember - it only takes a few inches of water to drown a 406 don't make the same mistake I made! The V6 Exec is no more.
