Moonstone HDi Phase 3, Coilovers, Replica Splits, Remap.

Now with the above peugeot black items the spoiler looked out of place, now this i didnt fancy doing in my garage due to the length, lukily a friend of mine is a sprayer and did the job for very little money, depite the budget job it easily matches up to any bodyshop work I've had before

To continue the Gloss black i sourced some vinyl from b and Q of all places! this was fitted to the B Pillars to replace the standard cracked b pillar vinyls. was a bit of a pig of a job but with patience and the right tools the finish was worth it.

I decided at this point with the black masks the front foglight units looked out of place, i decided to remove them and fit 306 Rallye foglight blanks, this tied in better with the headlights and helped the smooth front end of the car, whilst the front bumper was removed to fit them i fitted the GTI-6 front bumper splitter which i had also painted gloss black.

This takes me up to the current point of how the car stands

As the car stands today.



And now onto the final part of this post, the cars future.. well I've always been a bit of a sucker for the stance and euro movements.. as you can see from my ibiza! So i looked into new wheels... again! I eventually found a set of Dare DR-B Alloy wheels. These are basically replicas of Borbet A splits. i bought a brand new set for £400 with the specs of 16x8 all round, et 20 all round.

Lukily from fitting the 206 wheels i have already rolled my arches and have full sets of hubsentirc spacers in 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm. so fitment shouldn't be an issue I'll be running 195/40/16 tyres all round.

Wheels purchased and delivered





With the wheels now bwing here i didn't want to simply run the standard silver, i decided a refurb to the centres was needed. After photoshopping various ideas i narrowed down to Graphite and Moonstone, after a much more detailed photoshop i decided on Moonstone. As i type this all 4 wheels have had the centres refurbished by myself with moonstone centres, as before they have been flatted, compounded and polished for flat surfaces with shine. Whilst i was painting i colour coded a peugeot lion for the front badge.

Wheel painted and complete



I do plan to fit flat centre caps (these are the same size as genuine borbet caps) I've found flat caps unbranded for £80 which i'll purchase at a later date. The wheels will be fitted with tyres at the end of the month then fitted to the car.


So that's my HDi! all comments are welcome and I'll see you all at FCS 2012!
