my 406 estate

[Gary406]

do euro car parts sell 406 fogs ?

just watch out for water getting in the aerial mate why you have replaced it ..

ebay is probably best bet for front fogs.. dont forget you need a new indicator stalk with front fog controll

ang on ........... send a message to forum member (omega)

he has fogs and stalk. hes just got a new 406 for breaking... he may have the full setup for you

tell him i sent you and you want 25% discount

cheers for that gary

as for the aerial im going to put some black silicon under the rubber ,to stop the water

[andymacg]

well just ordered a strut brace off ebay after driving a mates 406 with one fitted and what a difference it seems to make

[Gary406]

who did you buy it off mate. better to ask the seller for the 6 longer bolts..

[andymacg]

the chap who breaks coupes in chesterfeild, ady i think his name, the listing said it comes with longer bolts

[andymacg]

been and took some new pictures this morning to show off the coupe wheels

swapped the old number plates as the front one was cracked , to some gb plates with carbon fibre effect lettering

[andymacg]

thats the strut brace fitted changed the feel of the old gal i can say , got to be the best 30 quid ive ever spent on acar, never bothered with one when i had my mk1 golf gti as i didnt think they made much difference back in my youth

next big job is either a set of lowering springs and decent shocks, or get a stainless exhaust system made up just to give a slightly more sporty sound as ive discovered my step brother works in a custom exhaust place

[andymacg]

well after finally selling my old series 3 landy at the weekend and having some spare cash i took the car in this morning for a new exhaust after the back box fell off on the way home from work this morning

not a standard one as I'm planning to keep the car for a long time i went for a custom stainless steel cat back sports system, its bit louder than standard but seems to have improved the performance a bit and at the same time they fitted a pipercross induction kit but for just under 195 squid im not complaining

next couple of jobs are to fit the front foglights i had off Omega and get some lowering springs fitted and then get the scratches rubbed down and respayed in the bodyshop at work

[Gary406]

must admit , those coupe wheels look really good on an estate.

do you really want it lowered ? you will loose all the comfiness of the ride , as well as the bottom of the car hitting the speed bumps

it looks perfect just as it is to me. BUT each to there own style

[andymacg]

cheers gaz

actually i might not lower it but go up a wall size on the tyres to fill some ofthe gap in the arches instead

by the way gaz how easy was it to recover the door panels?

[Gary406]

it was bloody hard but it is doable. its a case of stretching it on to get the creases out,

i will be redoing mine in summer in a faux leather look material.

ps - you need to start from the handle were it bumps deep.

[andymacg]

If you look further down the blurb , it says a suitable adhesive is also available for £9.99

My cloth on my door cards is one of the few things letting the interior down on my car, so would be interested to see how someone else's turns out

[Gary406]

LOZZ. is that price per meter ? if it is i rekan leatherette vinyl will be better at only £7 a meter

if it is them i'm truely

oh and for adhesive. i can get spray adhesive for £2 per tin. check my picture post out. you can see the stuff in a pic there. its a big tin.

i'm a floor layer and can get it from the shops i use to work for at trade price.

DO NOT, I REPEATE DO NOT PAY £9.99 PER TIN, THAT PRICE IS OUT FECKIN RAGOUS

this is the stuff i used floortak. good stuff we use it everyday. if you need a few let me know, can meet you at the course again.
