Hey we could use this for identification purposes instead of the elusive club sticker. Since I've never seen one in the flesh, If we fit them there's a pretty good chance that any you see around will be owned by members of this forum :cheesy:

Cheerd fellas for the nice comments, I told the car and she was well chuffed!!

(Not that I've ever talked to it, you understand. Or patted it when I walk past on my way back from the pub) :lol:

By the way pris, the interior handles are a kind of matt finish powdery silver. Chrome would be great though. I wonder if you can get chrome ones.

Guys...as Peugeot Brentwood havn't a CLUE what this fangled blingy chrome thingy is, and all but deny its existence,at the same time looking over rim of glasses at you like you're 1/2 mad and should be talking to a man in a white coat & stethoscope in pocket,it occurred to me that if I could brandish an actual PART NUMBER (yeah !!) I might actually get somewhere...(who started this,anyway ??)...any chance of same,chaps .....TTFN

Don't know about wishing it looked like a D8, well maybe the back of the saloon but there's hardly any difference at the back of the estate, and I think the D9's got a prettier nose. I wish it was built like a D8 though, my old one was soooo much more solid that my new one! :?

Was gonna say,this item must be rarer than moon dust....i've never seen one (and i'm a convicted 406 anorak) nor various mini cab drivers whose firms seem to lurve the car ,nor in publicity,blank in web searches,i could go on (and when you draw a blank in eBay,well !!! )
Is it April 1st,not February,i find myself thinking.....did Welton have a dream ??
Was the red 406 photo a PhotoShopped figment of the dream ?
Is the Truth really stranger than Fiction ?
