About time the 406 got the treatment.

YES!
X5 rims?
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - kernow_joe - 16-08-2012
that last shots epic, just feel the front end is lacking much definition, lights need to be bigger and chunkyer or something
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Andy - 16-08-2012
That is awesome.
Always have liked the 406
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Niall - 16-08-2012
Love it. Seriously did consider these until I saw the Insurance costs for even a bog standard 2.0 derv!

Not now I don't. Tbh I never used to like 306s then when time came to look for a new car I had £1500 burning a hole in my pocket and thought f*ck it, let's see what the fuss is about!
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Andy - 16-08-2012
Disappointed.

I think I'm a very good son...
Actually I never really speak to my dad.
Yep you would be.
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Pete - 16-08-2012
Spotted it on Retrorides, Thought it'd get some love on here

RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Eeyore - 16-08-2012
love it!
is there a conversion from 4 stud to 5? or did the later models come with 5 stud?
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Scott - 16-08-2012
That'll be a conversion. Looks sweet though! Always liked that colour on the coupes
I actually think the twin exhausts suit them quite nicely!
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - puglove - 17-08-2012
That looks Epic mate.
If u said x5 wheels on a 406 id say no. But seeing it done it really does work well
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - cpikey316_ - 17-08-2012
I was goung to get a V6 coupe, but the insurance (admiral I think) wouldn't swap to it from my 306!
A turbocharged Saab was ok though
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - MarkTD - 17-08-2012
That is awesome! I want one, nearly did buy a 406 last week. Wish I had now! lol
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Matt - 17-08-2012
New Scott's 406 was really wrote off....
Looks beaut!
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Toms306 - 17-08-2012
Hmm....still don't like the front ends on these tbh.
The rims look better on this than the usual mk4 golf you see them on, still too big for me though.

Insurance costs are absurd for the Coupé but much of it is down to the cost of replacement parts from the dealership, particularly panels! £ra*e.99
Also, I thought these only ever came with the 2.2 HDi lump, 2.0 petrol (138 XSi engine) and the 3.0 V6?
Not so keen on the example posted, looks over-wheeled TBH.
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Dum-Dum - 17-08-2012
that is beautiful
RE: B-E-A-Utifull. - Ruan - 17-08-2012
Got the typical Peugeot wheel arch issue though, for some strage reason, it seems Peugeot cannot make a wheel arch fit a WHEEL...
Look at the rear arch and see at the lowest point of the bumper, then look at the gap from there to the wheel - you could fit a small family of immigrants in there...
Just looks awkward... Dunno why...
I love it, but there's something not *right* about it?
