It's very nice (doesn't look silly, unlike some after-market spoilers that make the car look like a shopping trolley after Pimp My Ride got hold of it), and I feel obliged to bombard you with questions cos I'd like one like that :mrgreen:

How easy was it to fit? Any drilling involved? Do you feel any difference when driving since your fitted it?

Have you told your insurance company? What difference did it make to your insurance costs?

Cheers

havent any differance much differance and there is no drillling involved as it clamps on to the edge of the boot lid. With it only being clamped on i havent told my insurance and i think i wont. It is a peugoet part and it comes primed easy to fit simple intructions.

Sounds great - where did you get it from? Were you able to buy it in that colour, or did you have to spray it according to the colour of your car?

It does look really nice 8)

Was that off eBay? I've got the same one still in the box in my lounge! :lol: I do quite like the look of that spoiler on a D8 so may well get mine sprayed up and fitted very shortly.

Looks very tidy mate. No drilling? Nice. I think that would look nicer on a D8 than a D9 tho. The lip spoiler is the only one i would get for a D9. Nice job on the mouldings BTW

Can you give me a photo showing a lip spoiler for a D9? Would quite like to see it.

if you look on ebay for peugeot 406 spoilers there is a picture of one fitted with a lip spoiler it looks good i have a genuine peugeot spoiler fitted to mine it looks really good it just finishes off the car but its slightly bowed in the middle so i think a heat gun and a rolled up newspaper under it may sort it out! thats spoiler looks ace! i love the colour coded mouldings too makes the car look more up to date!

re-spray the boot lid, or cut "PEUGEOT" and "406" out of some cardboard and tape it to the car then leave it in the sun for 10 years :roll:

30/04/19 :D You're right :D

:P Peugeot & 406 have completely vanished :P

Any idea how to get the bits under the tape to fade to the same shade.....
