Still here For once, it sux to be south of the border!

They've come here too, 35 degrees You can have them!

I think tommorow I'll try frying an egg on my bonnet.

Very very very very very very very very very niiiiiiice car! Would there be enough room for a child seat in the back?

Mind if i ask how you did the chrome on the grille Blue? I've been on a number of websites trying to source some for my '6 but not entirely sure what to buy to do a proper job (insert west country accent here).

I'm also looking to do the same on my '7 - the main stealers are looking something like £80! I know this might be the wrong site for it - but have you seen the chrome grille on the new 407 coupe - now that's nice!!

this is the halfords stuff that i used

Great stuff lads!!! Got the halfrauds stuff today and did the lower grill on the 406. Used a hot air gun to make sure it sticks. I'll do the 407 over the weekend (have to get another roll) and post a few pics for your oponions. Wadda you reckon abou doing the verticals on the 407s grille as well as the horizontals. I'm trying to achieve the 407 coupe look

That coupe definately does look the part, i want it ... Thats great photography by the way
