So as this does come up from time to time i thought id do a quick simple guide to help noob's identify what phase 306 they own , This guide is just based on quick look at the outside of the car.
So keeping it simple,
ph1 L Reg to P Reg
This is the square "older looking" 306, Main differences being:
Square 2 piece headlights
Flatter bonnet & grille & bumper rectangle Fogs
Thicker bump strips along the sides,
They came with 3 different types of front bumper 2 of which are shown below
Next up Is ph2 That Run from P Reg to S Reg
Every thing became more rounded
1 piece frosted (more rounded) headlights
Rounded Bonnet with and upwards bulge & a bigger newer style badge
Rounded bumper with D shaped fogs & a dip under the grille
slimmer bump strips along the sides
orange side repeaters
Next up was ph2.5 S Reg to T Reg
This was basically a update to the ph2 where they colour coded the front and rear bumper like so
Then finally Ph3 V Reg to 52 being the very last to roll off the line
These had a bigger bonnet boulge
New rounder bumper, Round fog lights in the grille its self
Clear (non frosted) headlights
colour coded bump strips
colour coded side skirts
clear side repeaters
GTI6's
Ph1 the same as the description as ph1 above, came with the "sports" type bumper
Ph2
The differences between ph2 & ph3 gti's are harder to spot
Now these where the 1st 306 the have whats known as the "ph3 bumper"
Later rounded type bumper. round frosted fogs
frosted ph2 headlights
smaller bonnet bulge
black plastic bump strips
black plastic strip along side skirts
smaller rear spoiler
orange side repeaters
Ph3
Same front bumper but with clear round fogs
Ph3 clear (non frosted) headlights
larger bonnet bulge
colour coded bump strips
fully colour coded side skirts
larger spoiler
clear side repeaters
Pictures taken from google , i know some of them are on the forum, so if any one has a problem please contact me.
Also any input is appreciated
