project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 14-08-2014
Okay I've been on here a while now so thought I'd present my moonstone blue 3 door hdi in project form, it's not going to be a throw every pound I earn into it project it's a slow subtle improvement project just because the 306 is stunning as standard
It's a W reg and when I bought, it had 122k on the clock there's a few marks on her but nothing that stands out, plans are to OEM+ it using mainly PEUGEOT bits currently in standard form minus the cat and addition of front gti-6 splitter when funds allow more will be done to it and I will post here to update on improvements will add some pictures later of where she was and how she is now and then as things happen in the future.

Ordered a few parts yesterday got a set of french pressed plates on the way and some new pillar trim to replace the tatty ones currently on vehicle also got some door trim clips to resolve a rattle in both door panels since they were last removed, now on the hunt for some lowering springs and uprated shocks and also could be in for some new front calipers and pads
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 17-08-2014

Even g out in the shed tinkering with bits found an old fire extinguisher from a previous car so thought I would incorporate that into my car somewhere for added (weight) safety incase of emergency
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 23-08-2014
Couple of goodies for the car
Plates bulbs
RE: project additions and tidy up - Mattcheese31 - 23-08-2014
plates are illegal just so you know, not allowed to have anything other than GB on it . .
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 23-08-2014
Yeh I know mate thats why I will carry the originals with me under the boot carpet just incase I get tugged but being down in cornwall not many police around here all off eating cream teas and pasties watching the cows run amok in the fields
RE: project additions and tidy up - mcglynn - 24-08-2014
Looks a tidy car mate, nice base & the plans sound good.
On the quest for more power?
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 24-08-2014

you want the 4 spoke one out of a meridian spec'd 306.
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 17-09-2014
Brilliant thank you
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 18-09-2014
So the 30mm springs are payed for time for a bit of lowering
RE: project additions and tidy up - deggerz - 19-09-2014
I'm intrigued why you had to nearly take the bumper off to don the headlight pal ?
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 19-09-2014
Was easier than spending hours fiddling about getting the fog light out as space is limited behind the drivers fog light so I removed the water tank which made getting at the 3 bolts on the fog a lot easier and pulled the bumper out the way as the bumper sandwiches the fog to the car
RE: project additions and tidy up - deggerz - 19-09-2014
Ahh my bad, when you said Crystal I assumed you meant the actual headlight
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 19-09-2014
Nah the blooming drivers fog light it had deteriorated inside and gone orange and 1 of the mounts had snapped, all good now though
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 20-09-2014
Little bit of tidying changed the pillar trim from this
To this 3m 3d carbon fibre wrap
RE: project additions and tidy up - mcglynn - 21-09-2014
Looks well, thats something I had thought about on my own
RE: project additions and tidy up - thebluepearl - 21-09-2014
Pretty simple to do got the vinyl off eBay £10 posted still have loads spare, used the wife's hairdryer and old trim peeled off with ease cleaned it up the re applied new vinyl looks 10 times better
RE: project additions and tidy up - mcglynn - 22-09-2014
