Hey guys,
Long story short: I recently replaced the exhaust on my 206 cc because both the mid and end muffler were probably intended to be installed on a 206 hatchback, not a 206 cc. In order to make this ill-fitting exhaust fit, the previous owner likely had someone cut into one of the two support bars that reinforce the rear subframe.
That's this support bar:
I've visited a scrapyard close to me and they happened to have a 206 cc in stock, except the only support bar it had left was rotten. After asking around at a few places, the only place that could provide me with one of those was the Peugeot dealer which told me that a single bar would cost ± 80 EUR. That's not too bad, except they're also charging 3.6 hours of work to replace it (which would account for a total of more than 400 EUR).
Now, there's two things:
1. How can they charge 3.6 hours of work for replacing this single beam? When I looked at the underside of the car whilst replacing the exhaust, it actually seemed like a really simple job. Loosen the bar, slide it out underneath the car (keeping in mind that the exhaust sits below it), slide in the new bar and attach that. Is there something I am missing or could I easily replace this myself, given I have the right tools for it?*
2. The Peugeot dealer only provided me with a price, not a part number of this support bar. I've been trying to Google "rear subframe support beam for 206 cc" to see if I can get it any cheaper, but those search terms don't really yield any results. If one of you guys could provide me with a part number, I'd really appreciate it!
* As you might have understood, I don't have that much experience and I'm still learning on doing work like that to my own car. Replacing the exhaust with the help of a friend has been a great start to that, though!

I think 7213HJ Reinforcement at £70.88 is the part you need.
The box under the boot floor is 7251K9 Floor Stiffener £165.60 but that is part of the body
I would have thought it would be a quick job to change it. Unless the bolts are seized in place. I'd buy some new bolts too. Could the captive nuts under the body be corroded?

Precisely, this is the same image that the Peugeot mechanic also had displayed on their monitor! Thank you so much.
7213 HJ is the part that I need, yes. The Load Floor Stiffener does not necessarily need to be replaced if it's still in good condition, I assume?
Looking at your diagram I am wondering how the reinforcement bar is secured, though. To me it seems as if they are attached to the Floor Crossmember Brackets? It would make sense if they are secured using some sort of screw bolt, and I'm not sure how easy they are to get to. If that's the case, I guess you'd also need to detatch the Load Floor Stiffener before getting to the bolts holding the screws in place.
Perhaps I'll have to take a look at the underside once more before deciding on doing it myself.

The load floor Stiffener is just a box welded to the boot floor. I have a picture somewhere
