Has this car been in a bump? Your driver side front wing is flared, the passenger is a normal wing. You should have flared if its a genuine dturbo.

Hi there.
Mine is the 2.0 HDi. I think the Dturbo had the same spec as an XSi so mine came with the sports body and interior.
Albeit I now know I have a std front wing

Some nice subtle changes you've already done there, should be a good one when it's all back up and running

Update:
Alternator and fan belt done and running lovely 
Front end back together and whilst headlamps were out checked and found/replaced some defective lamps.
Rear axle and subframe dropped and stripped.
Axle cleaned, rubbed down and primered. (subframe arms/mounts to do).
Bearings removed from swing arms and all cleaned up ready for a lick of paint and new bearings.
To do prior to MOT:
Complete painting and fitting subframe,
Press in swing arm bearings, grease and fit up,
Fit rear brake mounting plate and fit new brake shoes,
Clean and paint drums and press in new bearings then fit,
Bleed brakes,
Replace a few crappy (split) arch liners,
Fit wheels, backbox and rear bumper back.
Clean and go
There probably a few iccle bits missing to do, but thats the bulk of it.
Then with a bit of luck, it passes and I can get on with freshing up and do a few more iccle mods.
Oh and fit some ICE, I never got round to doing it all the years I've had it LOL

How much of a pain in the a**e was it removing the trailing arms from the rear?
Usually people just replace the whole axle.

It was not too bad to strip down tbh.
Plenty of WD-40 and a day to soak sorted it.
Just gotta order some bearings on Monday and will have them up fitted by next weekend if the weather is kind.

Little update:
Changed the CC phase 2 rear lights I had fitted for hatchback ones,
Replaced number plate lamps as both were blown,
Fitted up subframe - now all clean, painted and shiny,
Swing arms painted - again now nice and shiny
Door mouldings primmered and 1st coat of colour on,
Shark fin aerial primmered and 1st coat of colour on.
Just need to find a bonnet in better condition than mine and a sport wing for the nearside - ideally in Moonstone to save me spraying 
Oh and now I have the bug for spraying, I think the grill needs as freshen up and the wheels need some attention too.
Slowly getting there.

Another chilled weekend playing with the Pug
So I done a few more bits:
Completed the refit of the swing arms with nice shiny new bearings
Suspension all set up.
ABS and brake lines refitted.
Rear brake back plates fitted up, cleaned and painted satin black ready for new shoes and springs.
Front brake calipers cleaned and painted satin black.
Back box cleaned up and painted satin black, tailpipe and trim polished.
Shark fin aerial fitted up and wired up, working lovely.
Door mouldings finished, just got to fit them back on.
De-badged and de-wipered the tailgate.
Replaced old clear crystal rear fog with a new one as it looked knackered.
Grille painted up and ready for its last coat of laquer.
Washer bottle cap replaced.
Still to do before MOT:
Rear drums awaiting new bearing as the cir-clip is a bugger to get out, Grrrrr!!!
Fit brake shoes, drums (once bearings are finally in!)
Replace brake fluid and bleed.
Refit back box and rear bumper.
Replace off side wheel arch liners (3 are split, boooo!!)
Replace 2 tyres and fit wheels.
Check over for pre MOT checks
Wash and go.
Cross all fingers, toes and limbs LOL
Heres a few pics:
