My new 2003 406 estate HDI

Post by macturbo »

I bought this yesterday as an insurance write off.
1 owner company car from new. Was owned by greggs the bakers as a rep car.
84,000 miles full history etc.
Its the 1st peugeot ive owned. As soon as I seen it I knew I had to buy it!
Was very cheap and im hoping its not going cost a fortune to repair.
Its an executive model has all the toys fitted. It starts and drives no known problems engine wise.

Ive already the passenger wing inthe right colour. I also bought 2 doors although there a darker shade of blue.
Just need a bonnet and bumper now. Anyone know how much the front bumpers go for with the spotlights and headlight washers fitted?
Opinions more than welcome, Thanks.

Ooooo errrrm, congratulations I guess..... :oops:

I suppose it depends whether you're intending to fix it up and run it into the ground or you're trying to return it to it's former glory. Exchange panels shouldn't be too much bother but the back wing is gonna have to be filled (big job to change that, we've had one on here written off for less) and I don't reckon you're gonna get away without a full respray.... :?

Good luck with it though, and keep us posted, we like a good project 8)

Can I have a warm sosidge roll please? :)

Looks ok really, although looks a bit heavy around the n/s headlamp?

Hope it was cheap enough fella - then it wil make a nice car!
