im after a spoiler for my D9 but can only find the small lip type or the genuine one, but id like something like an impreza turbo 2000 sort of thing. what spoilers have people got on here?

This is a genuine peugeot one of which I believe there are 3 different types
Omega has a genuine one of which i've not seen on any other 406

I may just get the braked one, but the hipping kills me! How much do you think it would be for the painting?

i got a quote for painting my spoiler (same as plods) but i dont own it anymore.

they wanted £80 to paint it.

£9.99 seems very cheap for a spoiler
then you add the £30 delevery, there is a bit of a profit in there.

£39.99 is still cheap tho,
iorderd one it was £65 and £30 postage,
Guess what?

it doesnt fit a 406 and as been sent back,
its most probably for a 405 im not amused as the guy stated 406 saloon d9.

ah well the money will go towards a set of alloy aspose,
been looking at 307 alloys wondering if theyl fit

If you're looking at the 16ins (Ariane) & 17ins (Challenger) they won't fit without spacers.

cheers waue
what do you mean by spacers ? do u mean "Spigot rings

Nope - spigot rings are what you put in the centre of the wheel (usually small plastic things) so that it sits properly on the hub. For example, a 406 has (I think) a 65.1mm centre bore, but if you bought alloys with a centre hole of 72mm, it wouldn't sit on the hub properly.

Spacers are thick chunks of metal with a centre bore & holes for the studs to go through & are made so that you can push the wheels further to the outside of the car thus correcting the offset.

There's also quite a price difference with spacers being quite expensive & you'd also need longer bolts - not a simple task when you're dealing with standard Peugeot wheels as they have special bolts.

ah now isee,
ithinks iwill leave the 307 wheels then,
id sooner have wheels that was a straight fit iwill just get a set of wheels off a coupe plenty of them about at the moment and there a straight fit as ive been told,

thanks,

Hang on

If a set of 15in "Apollo" alloys off a 307 fit on my old 406 without needing spacers, how come the 17in alloys also off a 307 won't?

When I say "fit on my old 406", they did sit a bit inside the wheel arches, but not by a comical amount, and they did clear the stock brake calipers, and they didn't foul the wheel arches at all.

i like 206 nimrods, but im afraid to buy anything with all the talk of spacers offsets, bores etc.

Lozz, if you fancy a trip to Norfolk, these are an absolute bargain:

You'll have to be quick though as they won't hang around. If I hadn't already spent a fortune getting a set refurbed I would have hit the Buy Now button already. I paid the same amount for a (reasonable) used set of Hoggars.
