So love my 306 but looking to do something different with it. I'm thinking of putting white banded steels on it. What else do you think I could do to it? Inside and out.

You'll have to go low to make banded steels work imo. But it'll look good!
And if it were me I'd go standard rear spoiler & maybe de lock the doors?

It's on Coilovers on the front and will be replacing the axle soon so hopefully I can get it to sit right

If you go banded steels route you'd have to go for a standard spoiler. Banded steels would be good though

get a splitter and make your exhaust fit in the cut out would be a start.
Maybe a set of 17" steels as they were only about £50 each brand new last time i checked.

Yeah I'm after a splitter and a new exhaust system. Want a straight through system. I want these 16" steels and band them http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vie...1794752520

Remove your illegal tints on the front windows? Sorry its a pet hate of mine
Otherwise I quite like the white 'clones. Everyone tries to go banded steels but few actually pull it off well...
I'd make it lighter and put on significantly lighter wheels/tyres etc. If you are going to the cost anyway you might as well make it quicker

IMO it looks great and the subtle mods you've already done are good and it'd be ruined with blantant, OTT stuff.

Haha it will be washed Friday
And thanks guys I guess I'm a little bored of it as I see it all the time. In all honesty I desperately want a set of TD 1.2s they are my favourite wheels

Bosch pump is going on Friday and intercooler too follow. I'll be after a uprated turbo soon. Want to go for a GT2052

This tbh. Visibilty out of those windows at night is going to be like wearing sunglasses, which is stupid, hence having your front windows tinted is stupid. Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but that's just my opinion.
Otherwise, I also think this looks pretty sorted other than wheel choice, and forget what JJ said, I had the same (if not very similar) spoiler on my DT, and I loved it.
Could do with a good wash and detail though to really show it off.

I had 2% limo front and rears years ago. Visibility was fine at night unless you were in an unlit carpark!

They're still illegal whether you think your visibilty "isn't that bad" or not, and for good reason. But that's the last I'll say on it...if you leave them on, that's your call.
I'm not a fan of Morettes tbh, would rather have black masks if I didn't have my ABM's.

Fair enough and yeah I'm undecided on morretts. Need to find another set of wheels first as the clones need a refurb

If you go for banded steelies, I think a cream colour would look good.
