Fairplay, your bodywork detail is amazing, real nice job unlike some of the sheds you see in the uk
RE: Luke's open 306 - cwspellowe - 18-01-2013
Bespoke bumpers are very much awesome. Need to redo mine, it's trashed, but it's so easy to do and a million times better than anything off the shelf!
RE: Luke's open 306 - C.A.R. - 18-01-2013
Look forward to the next update but 2 things...
Did you keep the Pinifarina badges from the rear quarter panels/behind the doors?
And why did you choose to leave the rear windows wound up when painting? They do go down lol..

RE: Luke's open 306 - 306Cabrio - 21-01-2013
Some more work at the interior:
Striped the dashboard out to take measurements for the new one
Also bought a cheap set of Phase1 seats because i prefer the high form of the seats compared to the flat Phase3 ones.
RE: Luke's open 306 - 306Cabrio - 22-01-2013
Seats were retrimmed in black nappa leather from porsche and black suede on the inner areas like on the genuine GTI6 seats. To get another detail to mach the car i decided to use red stiches:
I wanted evereything to be covered with leather on the interior and worked out a plan with the tailor to make a corporate design pattern
More to come with the next update
RE: Luke's open 306 - ozonehostile - 22-01-2013
nice! much better standard than peugeot themselves haha
RE: Luke's open 306 - 306Cabrio - 22-01-2013
First trial of new dashboard:
The result:
dashboard is 1,2 inches to high, doorcard cutouts doesn't fit, a-pillar-cutouts doesn't fit, midsection is about 3 inches too long, speedo does not fit to the form of the cover ... so let's get started, a lot of work to be done
P.S: The dashboard and midsection comes from a Citroen Xsara
RE: Luke's open 306 - Tom - 22-01-2013
Wow crazy amount of work! Me likey
RE: Luke's open 306 - C.A.R. - 06-02-2013
This update is taking way too long!
RE: Luke's open 306 - 306Cabrio - 06-02-2013
Sorry, but have had my written exams last two weeks. Therefore no time for my project and picwhoring
But here are some first pics of the interior
And the last sexy part for today:
Now on the todo-list:
- fit an standard air filter box to get the mot.
- clean up engine bay
- build a mounting tray for fuse box
- wire up seat heating controller
- fit the new interior light into the roof-console and trim it with same suede like the seats
- relocate the ignition into the custom made part in the dash B)
RE: Luke's open 306 - C.A.R. - 06-02-2013
That's amazing!
Where are the buttons for the hood located now?

The switch for trunk and roof is in the centre console under the break-handle.
The ignition will be placed on the left like some Porsches use to do
RE: Luke's open 306 - C.A.R. - 06-02-2013
Sorry hood = roof, yea the buttons which used to be down by the rear ashtray.
Your interior is pretty much the best one we have on the site I think! Did you sew the leather on yourself?
RE: Luke's open 306 - 306Cabrio - 06-02-2013
No, i wish i could -.- so it was pain in the arse expensive
but i think it was worth it When i compare the OEM-Quality and now mine it is a gain
I'll post later some new pics of the custom made things i done by myself

And here a view on the rear console with the buttons for rear windows:
(Ashtray missing atm)
RE: Luke's open 306 - Slam Wagon - 07-02-2013
Loving all the extra details and those heater dials look lush, would love a set in black, would way nicer than the cheapy plastic things.
RE: Luke's open 306 - lolsteve - 07-02-2013

maybe he tells us the secret where to get the plasma dials (07-02-2013, 06:49 PM)306GT30 Wrote: mucho respecto!!

A ride of 250km one way
maybe in summer Looked up the shop where you got your dials from. Quite expensive stuff with lighted logo and plasma and custom design
I will write an email for an offer to k-tec and look what price they will quote
RE: Luke's open 306 - Pete - 08-02-2013
Awesome work on the interior chap. Dash swap works so well, Always prefered the Xsara dash over the 306's myself.

Thanks. But it is much more work than it looks. All the mounts and heater-pipes are different. Complete electric-wiring has to be redone and much more little things I never thought about at the beginning
RE: Luke's open 306 - 306Cabrio - 27-02-2013
Small update:
Today passed the TÜV (=MOT) without failures
And also officially approved the cab with new license plates
Next three weeks I have to get prepared for my exams but then it will go on here with some picwhoring and working down my todo-list
Luke's open 306 - MarkTD - 27-02-2013
Very nice!
I can't wait till I've got chance to mod mine as much as you've done! It's excellent!
RE: Luke's open 306 - djdommyp - 27-02-2013

RE: Luke's open 306 - puglove - 27-02-2013
