Re: Newbie
Hi guys, Nice to meet you all. Im afraid i dont actually own a 406 (yet) but i do own several 205 gti's, one of which im intending to fit a 2.0 turbo engine in that i saved from a crashed 406. I do plan on getting a cherry red 406 coupe in the near future though 

Re: Newbie
On the coupe, the red colours are Scarlet Red or Diablo Red (Metallic dark red). There are some Pedants on the coupe forum that hate the name "cherry red" being used.daviewonder wrote:Hi guys, Nice to meet you all.

scarlet red it is then! 

Re: Newbie
Welcome in Dave, nice choice in getting a 406 Coupe i have always liked the shape of them especially being Pininfarina Designed..
Make sure when you do eventually get one, is to check it as Full Service History and if fuel consumption isnt a cause of concern for ya then i would go for the 3.0 v6..
