I'm impressed!! So how much of a conversion would it be to make a 406 Coupe-Hatchback.

Got to agree though, that size tumble dryer belongs in a laundrette!!

Actually that does look good now, kinda like a 'special edition' that Peugeot would have put out.

It comes with self adhesive pads already stuck on the back of it. I just didn't trust them, thought it was sure to lift up at the corners...

New to this thread, as i have spent a whole day cleaning and getting my pug looking like show room condition again. I like the bling look. My pug is silver whats peoples views? the blue pug looks so so good as it stands out a lot more thinking of buying the pannel and getting some strips for the lower grill where did you get those from again please?

I bought 10M of the 3.5mm chrome strip from Sparesworld, comes with selfadhesive backing. 'Twas £16.99. They also do the 7mm wide version for £18.99, but that would have been too wide for the grille bars.

Just noticed this fred hasn't got a pic of my Laguna splitter......

Rectified! :lol: 8) :mrgreen: :P

Laguna splitter very nice was it easy to fit? Surprised you have not got the chrome number plate surrounds to go as well? Just an idea mate. Do you think the chrome would look good on my silver 406?

Yeah dead easy to fit, small stainless self tappers straight up into the underneath of the bumper :mrgreen: .

Don't like those number plate surrounds, only ever seen a handfull that I think look good, most appear tacky, but maybe it's the car they're screwed to? :lol: The one on Dai's 406 in the other thread looks nice.

Chrome would look good with any colour mate, although it usually looks better with darker colours.
