Hello from Europe - 306Cabrio - 04-01-2013

Hi, my Name is Luke and I am 32years old.
I am driving as my daily car a smart for two (slightly modified to 120bhp) and my longtime project is a 306 cabriolet. Started with a 1,6l lump and now equipped with a 2l XSI 132bhp. Will start a thread in projects next days with some pics of the several stages of modifying Wink
A sneak preview of actual look:
   

Now I have the problem that I need some parts to buy and can't write in the wanted section Sad maybe someone can help me...

Kind regards
Luke

Re: Hello from Europe - WiNgNuTz - 04-01-2013

Welcome! As said, 10 posts will let you post in the sections you need.

That's a pretty tasty looking cabby, I don't care what anyone else says, and i really like those headlights, I was gonna get a set for mine until I saw the price tag! lol


RE: Hello from Europe - Piggy - 04-01-2013

No, it's Audi misano-red-pearl effect LZ3M

These are side drive lights from a vw vento and modified to led clusters for less mounting depth.

There are more non-pug-parts inside and outside like the BMW-rear-bumper with diffuser or switches and things like that Big Grin OEM++ Wink


RE: Hello from Europe - 4WayDiablo - 04-01-2013

Looks very nice! Welcome along!

Bit of a strange upgrade to an XSI? Why not go all the way to GTI? XU10J4RS

Because it was not possible to make an legal upgrade of more than 50% to get it through the MOT. So next upgrade will be now the GTI when I get a proper engine or better a complete car to switch off. Or when I manage it maybe an xfy Wink before that I have to collect many more information about such an conversation and what comes along with Smile

Here the sneak of interior:

    Inlove


RE: Hello from Europe - 4WayDiablo - 04-01-2013

Oh OK very nice.
That's is a sexy looking interior... Was thinking about doing that on my old diablo. The black leather/red stitches dash retrim


RE: Hello from Europe - cwspellowe - 04-01-2013

Wow, that dash is VERY tidy, love it!

Can you get hold of more headlight washers over there? We can order them in here but they're £70 per washer, which is a bit ridiculous.

6438A7 for the bumper with round fog lights and costs in Germany regular 92,12€ (74,73£) for a set of covers and nozzles. Than you need two of 6438A8 telescope mounts which come 47,90€ per unit (38,85£) and the tank, the second pump, the tubes, fixings... Very expensive stuff :,(

   


RE: Hello from Europe - karl1989 - 04-01-2013

RE: Hello from Europe - Jonny81191 - 04-01-2013

Looking very good! I'll be watching with interest Big Grin

Yeah I saw the part numbers, thats more than I remember, must have forgotten to spec the telescopic mounts too!

Are there many 306's with them where you are?

Steal a set for me? ninja
