Hello everyone just wondering if anyone can help i have a Peugeot 306 1.4 lx,
and I'm just seeing if there is any parts out the that will upgrade the look or performance , i have just brought alloy wheels and Lexus rear lights someone help !!
RE: Looks - WiNgNuTz - 23-06-2014
Welcome to the forum, but please do yourself a favour, and put the Lexus lights in the bin.
Get some pics of your car up when you can, that will give us a better idea of what things can be done to improve it for you, but no matter which way you look at it, Lexus lights are awful imo, standard ph2/3 rear lights are the best thing to have really.
RE: Looks - Piggy - 23-06-2014
You definitely need help if you handed over any sort of money for the lexus lights!!!
RE: Looks - Toms306 - 23-06-2014
What happened to 'each to their own'?
If he likes Lexus lights that's up to him tbh. As for other mods, look through the projects section and see what you like...
RE: Looks - Piggy - 23-06-2014
Yeah...each to their own opinion...and he asked for help...
We are helping by giving our opinion!

That'll go down well....Anyway, a few ideas -
Rear wiper - either fit new blade or de-wiper depending on preference
Front wipers/washers - Flatblades and xsara mist jets
Boot badge - Get a custom lion badge to replace your missing one
Spoiler/splitter - The GTi's have both a spoiler and splitter, as do some of the sport models - I think they finish the car off but personal preference obviously.
Dent....err, either fix it or try to avoid it in pictures!
Wheels - alloys are always better than hub caps....but getting a nice chrome 17" set to match the lexus lights might seal your fate on here.
Exhaust - is that a decent backbox? If so, that's probably good enough.
Performance - There aren't really any cheap performance upgrades for a 1.4, a cone filter will give you a better noise though.

I am in the process of gettig the dent out it was alot worse i am picking up 16 alloy wheels tonight and plan to lower it 40 mm and i need a new exhuat any ideas?
RE: Looks - Toms306 - 24-06-2014
Lowering 40mm is definitely good idea.
As for exhaust - what do you like? Personally I like a big, round, inward rolled, slash cut tip (oo err) like the powerflow I have....but again it's up to you lol.
RE: Looks - Eeyore - 24-06-2014
Look into black masks and yellow fogs.
Looks - james.pettet.37 - 24-06-2014
Any thing really just sounds rubbish atm but dont want to be spending loads on a exhaust

When I had my 1.4, I had a big cone filter under the bonnet, and a universal jap style slash cut (the ex-wifes choice, don't ask
) back box. Sounded alright considering, just didn't really go very quick. 
As Tom says, 40mm lowering is a good shout, 60mm is a bit too low on standard shocks (speaking from personal experience), and 16" wheels will fill the arches quite nicely without looking too big. For instance, the 17s I have on my estate look too big imo.

Yeah :p
RE: Looks - WiNgNuTz - 24-06-2014
Look like Wolfrace or similar...as Piggy says, i can imagine they'll look pretty good on the car. Have they got any centre caps with them?
RE: Looks - Eeyore - 25-06-2014
Ah Firenza tyres. I have heard a lot of good things about those.
RE: Looks - Hajman - 26-06-2014
Good effort on the wheels. Nice to see something other than cyclones
Looks - james.pettet.37 - 27-06-2014
No they dont have centre caps with them when i get the referbed i going to get the sorted so the dont need the centre caps if you get what i mean
Looks - james.pettet.37 - 01-07-2014
I would like a smallish front splitter where can i get on to fit my 306?
