Well not really done a huge amount to the car but I thought id give you all the update.
Got the rear windows tinted, the back 3 are Limo black and the back doors are a dark smoke. Some brazillian guy came out from Oxford to do them and did a very good job of them all for £120, thats 7 pieces of glass. (BIM locally id been quoted £150 for the back 3). As he had a bit of time before his next job he did my mums car for £100.

And Ive been busy collecting bits for the ultimate stage 2 FMIC install and clutch conversion. After starting getting second hand bits out the scrappers (yes Ive got a set and a half of 406 pipes going spare) I decided i was going to do it with all brand new parts cos my HDi deserves it.
Clutch is getting done first, just need clutch, fly wheel bolts, flywheel skimmed and clutch cable and that can be done with a service and the EGR blank.
I also need some bits welded and a few little bits and bobs before I can get fitting.

Car is serviced, just 300 miles over its interval but it feels so much smoother and faster now. It even appears to be doing about 5% better MPG. While it was being serviced we fitted a K&N replacement element as theyer quite reasonably priced on ebay.

Picked up my new wheels, Pug 308 sport 17" x 7.5" 5 spoke alloys. They were ready fitted with 205/40R17 tyres that give a fair bit of stretch which i like but i really think im gonna end up swapping them for 205/45R17s
