Re: my 406 estate
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

Re: my 406 estate
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

Re: my 406 estate
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

Re: my 406 estate
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

Re: my 406 estate
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.
