just out of interest, where did you find the kit? i'm struggling to find any aftermarket parts for my 406, apart from ecosse of course but i wouldn't mind a bit of variation :)

Looking good btw :)

Hi there DTBEN you can get your 406 kits from stx-styling or Body-kit.co.uk and that should sort your ride out. :)

the back looks good, altough personally i prefer the 'slight' curve at the low side of the bumper shouldn't be there. but overall it's looking pretty good.
as for the front side, uhmm ... is this a custom made project? or you bought it as a kit ?

i cant wait to see the finished project. it's nice to see more blue colored '6 being pimped ! :cheesy:
Cars, Computers, Chicks, 3C for a complete life. add a number 6 between them then you get double pleasure. hahaha!

IMO, the spoiler looks pretentious and the front bumper is just too chunky. I've seen that kit on a finished project and it simply looks "too much".
Not sure what PLOD will say about the plates. Shouldn't be a problem. The rule is that if ANPR can read the plates, they're legal. at least you didn't go for italic lettering. Thats a sure fire way of getting fined, pointed and impounded.
