Re: newbie with a cabby - rich1_2_3 - 10-04-2012

haha naah guys not 2.2,
phase 2
2litre Smile

16valve.... think its the way i wrote it haha
hope this helps
basically this is my 2nd cab and im only 25m ive had this one about month, my previous cab was a 2litre 16valve, in ultraviolet, but some d''k ed crashed into me head on in a nissan sx200 on the 28th of february so i had too go and buy another one!!

here are a couple of pics of the old one, and a couple of pics of the new one, and if requested, ill post up some pics in a new topic to show the old car after the crash.
i was lucky. broken coller bone and that was all!

my old cab at pugfest last year

when i first bought the white cab ive had it about a month now, the front windows didnt work, the roof didnt work and it had a horrible cloth interior
soo i ripped the full leather interior out of my old cabby, and put it in this one,
fixed the roof with thanks to http://peugeot306cabrioletclub.co.uk/ which ive been a member of for over a year, definitely the place to join if you have a cabriolet as these guys can fix anything to do with a cab as some parts are cab specific,
just waiting till i get my compensation from the crash so i can afford to get the windows fixed and a full proximity alarm system and a bangin sound system fitted Smile

but apart from that am very pleased with it,

new cab wearin its bra haha

Re: newbie with a cabby - Toby - 10-04-2012

I like it Big Grin

Looks smooth.

Re: newbie with a cabby - ginge191 - 10-04-2012

Doh

needs to be euro'd in my opinion! pretty nice nonetheless..

Re: newbie with a cabby - mark_airey - 10-04-2012

Welcome along to the club Smile

Was the old one not Aubergine?? (looks it in the pics) because its an amazing colour if it was and how hard did the guy in the 200SX hit you if it broke your collarbone? Confused

hock: I would be interested in pics as the 306 normally stands up fairly well in an accident!

Re: newbie with a cabby - rich1_2_3 - 10-04-2012

thanks guys, without sounding a complete tard, what do you mean by euro it?
and well with regards to colour of me old cab, the cabriolets came in 2 very slightly different purples
the phase 1 was plum/auburgine
but the phase 2 was slightly different its ultraviolet... paint code KLB if i remember correctly..

and i was doing 30mph, i think the other lad must have been doing about 50 when he crashed into me... cabriolet definately won tho,
make up your minds
there's only one way to sort this out!!
306 cabriolet v sx200

figggghhhhhtttttt!!!!

and now the sx200
the driver of the sx was knocked out for half an hour by the airbag, broke a couple of ribs and that was it, so we were both very lucky

Euro, basically smooth front smooth bumpers smooth tailgate, lowered onto some nice dished wheels Smile

Re: newbie with a cabby - rich1_2_3 - 10-04-2012

yeah i definately agree with you on that 1 mate....
well its a project as havent had it long enough or got enough cash yet to do any serious modding ha

Re: newbie with a cabby - ginge191 - 10-04-2012

crikey! you come out quite well from that crash, good ol' reliable cabby!

and yes, as matt says, smoothed, low, euro wheels, usually nice chrome dish! see Matt's sig for euro car

Re: newbie with a cabby - mark_airey - 10-04-2012

f*ck me!!! 306 definitely won, as said, they normally hold up fairly well in a crash was the hard top not salvageable?

I didn't know there were 2 colours like that, learn something every day, lol

I know they were both cabby only though Smile

Re: newbie with a cabby - rich1_2_3 - 10-04-2012

yeah they quite a rare colour,
cab definately won, so nice to know out 306s do hold up quite well,
the hard top was salvageable but i sold it on as a diablo red roof on an ultraviolet cabby was pushin it, but i think diablo red on a white cabby is takin it too far haha,
will prob get another one for the winter,
and im likin the euro look, how much roughly does it cost to get everything smoothed?

Re: newbie with a cabby - Eeyore - 10-04-2012

pretty lucky to have come out of that unscathed! Good luck with the new project! Big Grin

Re: newbie with a cabby - rich1_2_3 - 10-04-2012

thanks mate Smile
