RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - kingy - 09-07-2012

looking good mate. first thing i would do is some lowerage. if you need any help then let me know. i know someome who is a wiz with lowering and is really cheap.

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - WiNgNuTz - 09-07-2012

Definitely needs some lows, but looks good otherwise! You need to give me those wheels though, they'd look FAAAAR better on my dtub! lol

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Dave26 - 09-07-2012

Very nice start mate, and the best colour too! (of course I'm biased :p)

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Chris_90 - 10-07-2012

Thanks for the comments guys not sure about lowering as every time ive lowered a car looks good but makes it to harsh on the ride and a pain on bumps being a delivary driver thats not good for me so staying as it is for a while any way Update been to scrap yard agin got a new back light as mine was chiped, got a boot lock as mine not working and it turns out the screws rounded off Angry

so carnt get it off gona have to drill the screws, also picked up my clips for window and some track rod ends, window now fixed (ended up glueing a clip to the window as it still kept comeing off, but now opens a lot more but still not all the way down not sure why but left it for now. Also my drivers seat had split on the seem so got my sis to to sew it back up as it was getting worse pic's here

Looking better i think, found a bummper cheap (mine is cracked) but strugleing to find paint code also noticed bonnet a slight different shade so gona look in to getting a bonnet to just waiting for peugeot to get back to me about paint code :-)

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - samass - 12-07-2012

looking good mate, nice repair on that seat!! also, challengers always look sick on 306s Smile

as for the paint code, look in the boot for the vin plate, small ally plate riveted to the rear most panel, underneath the lock mechanism. stick your head in upside down and you should see it Smile

Re: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - vlj - 12-07-2012

Really nice looking car mate! Loving the wheels

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Chris_90 - 13-07-2012

Thanks for the comments guys really likeing the wheels now ive gave them a clean could do with a refurb cos previous owner had curbed them slightly Sad

ive looked there mate as well as under bonnet and drivers door shut, still no joy not fussed now as managed to find a few body pannels same color now :-)

Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - kentiiboii - 13-07-2012

I just looked on my moonstone I havnt got a paint code either

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Chris_90 - 17-07-2012

Update boring day to day so new track rod ends fitted and tracked up took 25 mins to remove old ones and fit new so much easyer than my old 106 took me 5 hours to remove them off that! my boot lock didnt work and had a long pice of speaker wire to pull when i needed to open it so got a new badge from scrappy found out there old one was only held on by one screw that had rounded of Angry

so had to drill it then fitted new boot lock now sorted for time being but ive orded one of the custom painted ones off ebay so will be changing it agin as soon as it comes plus need to go to scrappy agin to get 2 more scres that hold it on as was gona re use mine but they wasnt any........ and last thing for today took the engine cover off gave it a good wash and then a quick polish not great could do with a re-spay (was painted by previous owner) but looks alot better for now!

after

Next things on list to do
service it as dont no when it was done last says 8,000miles to next service on the indicator but dont trust that (just ordered K&N pannel filter as the cone filter no good for it)
decat and take the back box off and have a straight pipe with a tip (keep the center silencer less restrictive than a back box)
Then off to see mr wippy in leeds for a remap

Anyway comments welcome :-)

looking good mate. suits those wheels quite well

Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - kentiiboii - 17-07-2012

The painted badges on eBay the bloke sells them on here and iirc they're cheaper on here. Smile

but looking nice. Smile

not sure about the white engine cover though. Smile

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - C2K - 17-07-2012

Your car on a T plate will have the paint code as a 4 letter code on the back of the passenger side front suspension turret. Full Phase 3 went to the drivers door jam.

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Chris_90 - 19-07-2012

bought the badge off ebay now wish i had nown before lol never mind stoped looking for the paint code now but thanks anyway

update post man bought me this yesterday so natraly bonnet was up before it had even gone near my letter box

Feels so much better than the shity cone filter feels smoother and wouldnt say massive power gain but feels slightly more faster Any way hope you like :-)

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Chris_90 - 23-07-2012

Replaced the bummper and wing yesterday and my old ones had some damage...... and Gave the car a clean and polish today

Not looking to bad if i say so my self ;-)

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - C.A.R. - 24-07-2012

Looks lovely that mate. How does it ride on those tyres though, is it not a bit bouncy? Never had a 306 on 17s but they always look a bit big!

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - kingy - 24-07-2012

tidy but defo need more lows.

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Chris_90 - 26-07-2012

I always thought 17's were to big tbh but when i got the car i feel in love with the wheels rides normal tbh i think if it was lowered it would be to hard but as it is now feels quite smooth........

Kingy you keep saying lower it lol but no plans on that yet all though i have had a quick go on photo shop to see what it would look like

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - kingy - 26-07-2012

Any way comments welcome

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - Jonny81191 - 28-07-2012

That's how low you want it all the time! mine will only just go onto ramps, there's about 1.5mm left between the splitter and the floor when the back's up like that!

RE: Hi New here 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone :-D - DaveW - 28-07-2012

Looks good on those rims, tho why does it have black rub strips?

Comments welcome

306 HDI 3dr Moonstone (PIC HEAVY) - kentiiboii - 04-08-2012

With the 17s I recommend 40mm on front 55mm on back. That's how mine is on 17"s and IMO sits perfect.

RE: 306 HDI 3dr Moonstone (PIC HEAVY) - Chris_90 - 05-08-2012

Just seen your thred looks good like that what are the coilys like for going over bumps they rock hard?? also do yoy have any scraping??
