#17: Re: My 206 xs Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 9:15 am ---- Right guys, got a little update of a few things I've done over the past couple of months.
I painted the mirror caps:
Painted the windscreen wiper cover:
I then painted a few bits inside, I also did the door handle surrounds but I don't have a picture as of yet:
After seeing another thread on here of the guy who loves LED's, I decided to do my interior light, so here's before:
And after:
I've also put on a shark fin aerial as my old one hit the spoiler:
And finally, this isn't an update, I just wanted to show off how shiny my roof is after a good polish today not bad for an 10 year old car!
I've also got footwell neons in, but I need to wait for it to get dark to take a picture.

#21: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dials Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 8:45 am ---- Yeah, that would look pretty sweet. Might look at doing it.
#22: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dials Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Mon Jan 24, 2011 8:48 am ---- scrape the red paint off the tops of them, then use some white nail varnish and go over them. Otherwise they will just be clear and could be hard to see in the day.

#24: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dials Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 12:42 pm ---- Another quick update, I've changed the standard dial backlighting bulbs to super bright white LED's. Let me know what you think
This is the back of the cluster showing the bulb holders:
And this is the result:
This is the blueness of the inside of my car..it actually looks a lot better in person, but hey ho.

Just got my Angel lights the other day and going to try and fit those the weekend. Have noticed there's no how to so looking at doing that.
Were your clocks LED's soldered in or bulbs?
Looking really cool mate
#26: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dial LEDs Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:11 pm ---- Cheers man. They're white ones, to make the blue any good you need to get brighter bulbs to illuminate them. Angels are pretty easy to fit really, I'm taking mine out soon though. The LED's were bulbs.
#27: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dial LEDs Author: Sephiroth, Location: KidderminsterPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:13 pm ---- Ok cool, could i ask why your taking them out? haha before i put mine in
#28: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dial LEDs Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:15 pm ---- I'm bored of them really, the halos aren't that good either. I'm putting crystals in now with HIDs.
#29: Re: My 206 xs - Update - Dial LEDs Author: Sephiroth, Location: KidderminsterPosted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 1:18 pm ---- Fair enough, i'll give em a go........if not then Morettes it is!!!
