Pics should follow sometime soon!
A description for now though - Fuj (my 99 206 1.1 L) will be my wedding car on Saturday my fiance has really fallen for it.
So far the preps have been as follows;
washed and waxed
cleaned inside
silver stripes (similar to a clio 182 gordini stripes? off centre anyway)
bows on the mirrors and ariel
sign written sticker of just married on the back window (to stop chavvy relatives scrawling all over it with lip stick)
Hope Fuj doesnt pick Saturday to let me down - or he may be receiving a basil faulty style beating with a branch
EDIT **** All went very well! here are a few pictures

Thank you all I will get some pictures up as soon as it is dressed up - photographer will hopefully be snapping some with the car in shot too.
She likes how basic and simple it is - Her car is a renault scenic (no kids, it was just cheap and safe) She has her eye on an 03 CC for sale down the road though!

Cool, it'll definitely be different!
I actually quite like the CCs, probably wouldn't drive one purely because my mates would rip me to shreds about it being a girls car haha, but they are nice!

Its a nice blue cc - it would take the place of her scenic so I would still have the slightly more manly rred one to drive (very slightly haha)
That is a very good point about the grease! It has beeen cleaned but I know the check straps are caked in grease as is the lock mechanism! I shall set at those today - thanks!
Should have a ppicture up tonight - but as I will be having to stay away from my house for the whole "can't see the night before" rule - the pic may be on sunday hehe.

You got the bumpers sprayed and the lot! Congratulations on the wedding, and the car looks great!
Also good luck with the CC, I've always had a secret fancy for them.
