I like the alloys, and the silver trim.

Is that an ubber-rare UV reflective windscreen?

Damn. I cant see images at work. That sounds like my dream 406 saloon on paper (both spec and engine). I'll have a good look at it when I get back home later.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but did you need spacers to fit those wheels? I'm gonna cry if you didn't!

You don't. Actually they fit well but they look strange (look at the back). A set of spacers made from a set of old brake disks will make them look even better.

yes i had to get spacers as the rears rub the lower swingarm. the fronts are very close to the brake but dont touch.
they look better at the rear with spacers on. this photo was taken before i put them on.
