Looks great, love a car kept as mint as that. Nearly as shiny as mine ![Wink Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)
As others said, are you actually part of the cruise control team?
What mods have you got lined up for the car then? ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

You've done a great job caring for it and as everyone said, it's very tasteful!

Just noticed, you had it wrote at the bottom!
Puh leaaaaase get a slight smaller UK Font plate to fit the recess, it would look epically amazingly cool!
Mods sound good, the suspension is definately a good call aswell!
Also just noticed the gain you had from the exhaust and K&N which is a good result! ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

Fancyplates, You choose the custom size you want.
A 3/4 doesnt get pulled 99% of the time, and the 206 is more like a 9/10 sized plate but looks amazing. I tried a 3/4 on my 206, but was too small for the recess.
They arent legal, however a plate custom made to fit the 206 recess would NOT be picked on by the police!

Thanks again people ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
Alan, I wire brushed it, and with a wire brush drill attachment. Then polished it up with Autosol (this on it's own looked nice)
Then i gave it a single thin layer of high temp engine lacquer, which really brings it up to how it should look ![Smile Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
