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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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.
