Re: my 406 estate
got my new alloys fitted tonight at work so took a quick picture of them on will get a better picture at the weekend
think the coupe wheels set it off and the ride seems a lot better than the tiny 14" wheels that was on it

Re: my 406 estate
i wasnt taken with the tinted windows at first but theyve grown on me, think it works with dark colour, and now the silver whhels set it off a treat , next job on the list is to get the cd player replaced as it doesnt play cds found a decent clarion in one of the scrap wagons at work, so will be liberating that before it goes at the end of the week

Re: my 406 estate

Re: my 406 estate
i replaced the whole lot gary, cos some scrote snapped the orginal one off at the base, hardest bit was getting the interior light out without breaking the plastic clips, the new one isnt as tall,
the next job is to get some front foglights,was going to get some from the breakers yard by me but the 2 406's theyve got havent got any front bumpers on, so might get a new pair from GSF or Eurocarparts as they arent that expensive ,then in the spring Im tempted to lower it
