Peugeot 308 R concept

That actually looks really mean! Needs to loose the two tone badly. I like the matt black so would look good all over with that i reckon!

That front looks like a focus lol.

i like it apart from those stupid f*cking led running lights on top of the headlights. makes a handsome car instantly tacky

All new cars have to have DRLs now but agreed, i dont see what the thing is with car manufacturers using LED ones all the time. They dont have to be!

Its more because manufacturers use them due to the European Union Directive 2008/89/EC.

"European Union Directive 2008/89/EC requires all passenger cars and small delivery vans first type approved on or after 7 February 2011 in the EU to come equipped with daytime running lights."

Yes but nothing there says they have to be led.

Unsure on it, just looks like most other cars on the age

Exactly, some nice yellow-y sidelight bulbs would suffice without looking f*cking ridiculous.

That rear end shot is equally terrible IMO. Bulbous, un-imaginitive and silly exhaust pipe trim = sh*t.

about time pug got another good hatch out, maybe this one could be for the WTCC, as citron has got a works team in next year.

[Poodle]

Unfortunately, if it does come out, it'll be 6 inches narrower and exactly 70% more bulbous and fugly. :/

Probably due to the extended lifespan and massively reduced energy consumption of LED's compared to halogen bulbs.

DRL's are nothing new. Volvos have pretty much always had them. Bit pointless over here as we actually have daylight as opposed to some Scandanavian countries that spend a lot of their time in darkness.

Yeah there are benefits to them (hence why some manufacturers are also starting to use LED Headlights now!) but i think they are now more of a style thing since audi started with them big LED swirls in their headlights a few years back. Just getting tacky now. Ive got normal bulb DRLs on my Kia and i think they look much better than the higher spec models with the LED ones.

Also, whos realised yet you can set the side lights in a 306 to be DRLs? Cant remember how now but i do remember reading it on AD.

Easy, wire them to a switched 12v.

Looks pretty nice
