Bonjour fellow 306 compadres
About time I started a thread for the new whip...
Its a 6... and Astor grey... and going to be supercharged at the end of summer.
This is all.
Completely standard at the moment. It will be staying this way until the s/c gets fitted
I say that, black masks and a cherry front badge are going on this week
Cheerrrrrs and any questions don't hesitate to PM someone somewhere

Yeah I am mate, why?
Thought I would get up at a reasonable time and crack on this morning
First job was to fit my Black masks, It didn't go perfect as one of the top bolts sheered off. No biggie, didn't need it anyway
Masks done
Second job, fit my Cherry front badge. Only 2 nuts, what could go wrong?
Think I overtightened them, it pulled the badge back too much and the outside lip has started to come away
Badge done
Third job, Swap my seats out of the Dtub into the '6, and vice versa
Seats out of the '6 nice and easy, Passenger seat out of the dtub nice and easy..... Drivers seat 3 bolts out... One stuck fast with the torn bit recess nicely chewed up and non existent. No way of cutting it off or anything.
Three seats back in and give up for the day
Almost successful. Almost
I'll wait until I'm back in work next week and hammer a bigger torx/ alan head in and make it work
Some pics, excuse the dirtiness of them both lol. Lost all interest in washing them after today

Noo how can a thread go down hill so quickly, really not a fan of the cherry badge. Ignore my opinion though ;-)
On another note, epic plans!
Serious.

MY EXHAUST IS HEREEEEE
After owning the 106 Rallye, the importance of having some proper rasp, rather than all noise and boooooom was vital.
Only 1 exhaust I know of does that properly, the Pugsport
After a quick google, Special Tuning UK seemed the best option, and the most Pugsport-like equivalent for the 306 as they are a Peugeot sport dealer...
You could very easily build a competition car just from there website, but it wouldn't come cheap.
After ordering it Monday night, it arrived today (Weds)
The price with delivery... £350. If it sounds like I think it will, worth every penny
Pic-whore time
False cat/mid box thing
Back box
View from the back with the same internal baffles as a 106 PugSport
Few for luck
MOT is due on the 19th but I'm going to get it booked in for next week, and get the new exhaust fitted next weekend
