Got my standard 2004 1.4 8v in september 2008. Since then i have done the following:

Exterior
CC'd Morette headlamps
 

205 GTi (1.9) wheels in Peugeot C---- Grey
 

SP fuel cap
 

Gloss black wiper mechanism cover
 

Badgeless front grille
 

Renault Clio Mk3 Front splitter
 

Rear debadge (apart from 206 badge)
 

206info stickers in rear quarter panel windows
 

Tunedcar.co.uk Stickers under 206 badge and above Driver's side headlight
Institute of Advanced Motorists sticker in rear window
 



Interior and ICE
SP Pedals
 

Peugeot Graphite Grey:
-door grab handles
-Alarm button surround and blanks
-Heater vents

Gloss black:
-central facia / MFD surround
-speedo binacle (sanded first and satin black reducing reflections)
-fusebox cover (sanded first)
-airbag switch etc. surround (also sanded first)

Fiat swift red:
-MFD binacle inside face
-Speedo binacle inside face
-Stereo facia
-heater vent 'fins'

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carbon fibre skinned (DIY):
-wing mirror panels
 

 

-Door handle surrounds

 

DIY gauge and switch panel where ashtray used to be - trimmed in leatherette
 

Footwell neons -REMOVED - 15/12/09
Edge 10" Active Sub

Engine

Polished engine mount (thing at left of rocker cover)
 

Polished ECU
K&N Cone air filter with Custom built alloy and silicone tubing
 

Red hammerite'd Power steering hose
 

CC'd suspension top covers and battery cover
 



Continued with the leatherette trimming:

 

 


And Sprayed the courtesy light surround

 

 

 


and started making a proper ipod dock:

 

 


And the next project when i find the pop rivet gun:

 


Ipod dock next stage:

 


Next the wheels, Got the 205 ones back on with new-ish khumo ecsta tyres 195/50R15s

Also sprayed the space save white through boredom

 


While i was changing the wheels i got the hammerite out and did the brakes:

 


 


 


 


Also sprayed the front grille in Pug graphite grey:

 


Finally I put the neons out the footwells under the Sub for a bit of extra light in the boot

 


 


Just given battery cover, fusebox cover, and suspension top covers last coat of gloss black, waiting for them to dry before i put them back in and take some pictures, here's a couple of the battery and fusebox cover fitted (when the paint was dry) before i gave them another coat:

 


 


I reckon it looks better than the moonstone.

The wheels need re painting after the new tyres were fited, was just going to do them the same colour: Peugeot Cossack Grey but as i'd be sanding them all back anyway thought i might choose a different one, any ideas?

Not really fancying black as they really will look like steelies.
Did think a really light gold might look good but everyone i asked said it would look crap.

Pic from forza 3, sorry for the awful quality :

 


And a better pic of the splitter now its sprayed gloss black:

 


Thanks for looking

Got some mud flaps the other day as the wider wheels kick muck up the side of the car a lot more than the others:

 


 


Finally got the Ipod dock working, just needs a respray over the filler:

 


Got the bonnet gap filler bit stuck on, its been off for ages:

 


 


Don't think i posted a pic of my not obviously DIY air filter brackets:

 


or the gloss black suspension top cover things:

 


2 more projects in the pipeline:

- LCD in sun visor - an idea I owe to colinn who has loads of great ideas and i'm sure his will look tons better than mine Wink

 


and an LED fog i'm hoping to make when i find a way of seperating the lens and the holder, hairdryer aint working Sad

 


And i painted my ainchent battery charger:

 


 


Thanks for looking!
