Cheers G I did try getting in touch with the guy selling the 15" nimrods but got no reply, I was told by the garage that my gear box should be ok on these being as I do not stress the revs out of it anyway

Looks lush tbh especially with the nimrods on really liking that look.

Thanks for the comments mate its nice to hear people like the changes
My paints have arrived and I'm part way through doing the centre caps, I'm waiting on the chrome spray to be delivered before I can finish the hob. There will be a lot of masking so I'm taking photos as I go so I can put a mini-how to on here. The chrome nut covers came too and I've put them on, they look great but they don't fix onto the lockers so I may have to improvise on that to get it to stay on somehow
I want to de-badge the 'Look' stickers from my door as they are catching on the clothes when I wash and wax the car anyway, but I'm unsure if they are actually pinned on or not, next purchase for the car will be some metal door sill strips, but not the 206 ones

Not really an update but just some plans.
My old steelies went today for £51.01.. and they told me I wouldnt shift them!
After an old man opening his door into my car I have two little indents about 1mm wide each on my quarter panel.. like stone chips. Thats all the damage I can find, Hopefully it is as close to the arches as I remember it, that way I could just get some SP arch covers on to cover it good excuse
I am looking for another SP fuel cap so that I can paint it to match my wheels. My multiline display (PPt30 is it?) is in my room at the minute, I sprayed the cover of it in Ford Graphite and I am going to change the LCD display from blue to red

Cars looking sweet as fella! It's amazing how a set of alloys and getting them sprayed change the look of the car. Great work mate keep it up :)!

Small Update
I taken advantage of the mildly ok weather yesterday and cracked on with my calipers, they were looking a bit rusty in places so a good wire brush down and lick of paint sorted them out. Excuse the dirty car!
I would have taken the cheesy 'Look' badges off the doors too but some one has taken off with my can of sticky stuff remover

The calipers will have another coat in the summer, and I am also planning a change of alloys - I have two styles in mind and they are official peugeot, not been done very often but thats all I'm giving away
The nimrods will be kept as winter wheels
I'm joining in on the osram nightbreakers group buy so hopefully my car shall be looking very badarse indeed
