Black lower trim

[Gary406]

ye me 2 , i just use the top 3 torx bits and the 2 side screws, fits in very tight with just those

[FarmerPug]

i had to change a fuse on a 2 yr old citroen dispatch yesterday, broke the clip holding it in, firstly it wouldnt loosen, i exerted more pressure and it snapped.

you could do a d9 front end transplant if theres enough parts to hand.

allready looked into that few months ago , its a huge job that i would rather not do

Whats so hard about it?
the 406s are all bolt on panels etc arnt they,?

or did they start welding stuff on on the 406s,?

irember the old 405s where all bolt on panels used to be able to take the front end of one of them in 10 mins,
Maybe its all changed,

[FarmerPug]

the 405 facelift wasnt very big on the outside, it was mostly a rehaul of the dashboard, series 2 405 dashs were much better especially the radio cover.

[lozz]

so what wouid be the hard work,

as a guess all ican see if,

change,

Slam panel,
bumper
grille
lights,
bonnet,

if its all bolt off idont see it as a big "Mission"
but if any of its weld on that be a bit of a hastle,

[FarmerPug]

any welding or cutting would be a hassle.

they are all bolted on yes mate
but the D8 would need modifying to be able to bolt a D9 bumper on
as well as slam panel, wings, bonnet bumper

i looked into it last year and it is not a small job, its a bloody big nightmare so i was told

i wasnt gonna do it was just finding out info at the time to see what was involved and for my own knowledge of the 406 range

[FarmerPug]

its probably cheaper to get a d9

[Gary406]

yup

all the bolts and fittings are different

hopeing for sum good weather at 9am in the morning, i'll be taking the interior out the 406 at the yard

[lozz]

What colour are the seats in your car gaz?
the ones you will be taking out,


ineed a passenger seat in grey

[Gary406]

there black mate, rapier seats

well job done, replaced my interior (with the same kind) just in much better condition (not that mine was in bad condition)
new black glovebox
ashwood trim including ashwood ashtray
D9 airvents (with the silver inserts)

got all this for £80, i think thats a bargain

[FarmerPug]

£80 thats a very good deal.

[Gary406]

yep it wasnt just the glovebox door either
it was the full section with the back bit of it

also got all the section that goes under the steering wheel , altho i havnt changed that bit as the ashwood bit on the drivers side just clips out
its also a bit different on the D9

i was gonna buy the roof lining , thought it may have been black, but it was grey
a grey roof lining with a black interior
now i dont think mine looks odd after all
