Welcome along mate, get some pics up when you can. As for ideas, have a gander through the project threads, im sure you can pick up a few hints and tips there.
 My first 306 was a 1.4, so i won't abuse your choice, but ive now graduated to the DTurbo, and can honestly say it was the best decision i ever made concerning my car. All i will say though, is make sure you have a decent scrappy near you, and if possible, get yourself a few spare gearboxes, as the TU boxes are renowned for being made of cheese.  Mine went twice in the 3 years i had it.

thanks for the welcome, yeah i will, not going to doo much to it for a while, just few little bits such as alloys, induction kit and exhaust, classic boy racer mods, haha.
well the 306 wasnt my choice, was my from my mum and dad, so i didnt have much choice, but i doo quite like them, and im not a fan of diesel cars at all! hate them, ever since becoming a mechanic, and ohh shit, will doo, thanks for the advice

Tbh, i wasnt big on the idea of a diesel, but wanted one for the better fuel economy. Since then, ive been fully converted by how easy they are to work on, and ive been well and truly bitten by the boost bug!
That, and i find it hilarious coaling all over people who think its a good idea to tailgate me.  EDIT: I refer you to the pic in my project thread that was taken shortly after having the decat pipe installed... HERE

I actually had a cone filter and a big bore on my 1.4, sounded pretty nice, but just never really went anywhere at any rate. I liked the noise though, f*ck the haters.

True enough, but it does add that nice sucky induction sound from the front.
