I've decided to liven up my boring grey 206. So I decided that everything plastic should have some orange on it.
I started by fixing the left hand mirror which was hanging off. This took a few minutes and lot of banging it and seeing what happened.
These are pictures of the car before i started messing with things:
Front
Back
Wheel
Side
Inside (excuse the mess, this is a 19 year old boys car, what did you expect? lol)
Plan of Action
Spray centre console and other bits of interior trim orange.
De-badge the boot.
Remove B-pillar vinyls.
Sort out dents and scratches etc.
Respray bumpers and rub strips orange.
Get Morrette headlights.
March 2012
I have just sprayed my centre console orange, think its gone ok, just need to spray the bit around the clock, what do you think?
August/September 2012
Only a small update to the car, i mean really small, probably not worth writing about. But here goes...
I've sprayed front door handles orange.
I'm soon going to respray the rear ones, when I can get off my a**e to get more paint.
I'm also looking at recovering the door cards and the glove box lid.

If you bring that photoshop i think it will look a bit of a joke in my opinion. I think just the allows could maybe work.
