Cheers mate

That looks very clean.
I had one a few years ago, the rapier as ago very nice interior.

HI Si, welcome to the club

Thats a nice Monaco Blue you have there, can you post a picture of the interior as I think the rapier has black ash door trim, but the 2003 cars had silver trims - yours is both!

I'll get pics of interior up.

It originally had black ash trim - but I sold the car for a while to my mate's dad and he converted it to wood effect trim.

Now that I have the car back - I don't mind the wood.

Towbar is the next thing to do to the 406.

Interior








Engine - removed plastic cover as they tend to vibrate through the injector wires. It's a HDi 90



Current mileage



Returning this around town



This is the towbar - I'm going to sand it down and give it a fresh coat of black before fitting it

The wood trim actually looks quite nice with the black - better than I imagined. You can get a wood effect ashtray too..

Its also a fact* that all 406's must have a towbar - whether you use it or not...

Yeah not the worst

Lol - towbars and trailers are for Yorkie eating Real Trucker Car Drivers
Cant beat a bit of opposite reverse steering to confuse everything.

Pug in Work with Andy's GT170 Golf



Quick wash



Off Side Front CV starting to click when turning - so New one to replace it

Took a full Sunday afternoon to do 1 CV Joint on the Pug!!

Thanks to Biz for popping up to lend a hand it's sorted now.
The bottom balljoint point blank refused to come out the arm - so I had to go the strut out hub route.
Then the CV Joint refused to leave the shaft

Hey Ho - French engineering

Towbar fitting today

Need to wire it next

Towbar wired up



Pug is now my Tow Car





Before



After - with 16inch Pug 307 Alloys and New toyo tires





Think I might need a drop in the suspension height
