got my backplates back from the zinc-plating company. Here are the pics. IMAG0531.jpg The chaps did say that the plastic coating that was still surprisingly good but couldn't tell at first, was a bastard to get off - even after shot blasting. Maybe FP's new ones will last a while without further tre...

Thanks Sonia, although not sure if my car is a 'him' or a 'her'.
Never been one to name a car, although other car is a blue 306, so I guess we have ' big blue ' and ' little blue '....

Tis a beast though, currently an Audi scaring ' super tractor '

I didn't realise the Coupes had a wider offset, I guess thats to clear the Brembos?
I remember comparing my estate Hoggars to Finchys Coupe Hoggars and they were different, thinner spokes..

Talking of rims, well we were originally, I changed my Hoggars to Starfish yesterday in my lunch-break, what to you think? The starfish were a pain to fit - very snug over the hum and has to be lined up dead perfect to get the bolts in. They stick out a bit further too. Not sure if I like them yet b...

Yet, you only have to ask..!!

I did mine myself, although I made the mistake of buying ' silver ' paint, not ' Alloy Silver ' paint, so they look a bit dull. I used one of those soap-filled pads to rub the wheels down, and the primer and spray and lacquer was £20 which was enough for all 4 wheels. Take time to mask up the tyres ...

Hi mate, welcome to the forum. I would definitely join the 406coupe club too, thats where I got in touch with a chap to ' de-fap' my 2.2Hdi Estate. Also removed the EGR valve at the same time - this is just a choice thing though. I drove from Bournemouth to Tewkesbury to have the work done by Finchy...

If your cat states K202, its worth a lot of money. Something to bear in mind......

Now Sonia, after chatting about 7 seat conversions, why would you think I had a saloon..?
Just bought a set of 5 16" Starfish ( Coupe ) alloys from the bay, with good tyres too. Not sure why they are called starfish when they are 6 spoke - when did you last see a 6 limbed starfish??

I had a recent dream that my brakes failed and I smashed my car to pieces, and my wife died in the accident.
I woke up a bit tearful - I love my car.......

Hi mate, there are lots of differences between a 90 and a 110.
ECU - a 110 ecu controls turbo, 90 has a manual turbo.
Flywheel - 110 has a DMF
Intercooler

Probably more I missed.

Not really an ECU straight swap but maybe an engine swap?

In my 306, I lost central locking and r/h door speaker, when he wind bent the door back everso slightly. Didn't happen straight away but a couple of months later.
Turned out to be the loom between the door and the frame just got stretched a bit and started shorting.

Hi Sonia, I used to have a 1.8 petrol Mondeo :oops: which was a cheap ebay motor to keep me going, as my van had 2 seats and needed a 4 door for the baby. This was about 5 years ago, but it is a similar size engine in a similar size car to what you have now. I was getting 30mpg if I drove ' enthusia...

I was told of this but as they came with the car I thought I would stick with them - just need a spare set for summer tyres.

I got part worn tyres fitted, then went to Tyreland or somewhere else reputable, to get them Nitrous filled and balanced with stick on weights.
