There are lots of different phases of 306 and there are a few cheap things you can do to bring a phase 1 or 2 in line with the phase 3.
Rear Light Conversion - If you have a phase 1 or 2 and dont mind not keeping it not OEM then the Phase 3 lights look a lot cleaner. They require a bit of rewiring and its often easier to use lexus light looms but it should be possible for under £20. Darren has a guide here. http://www.darrenjlobb.co.uk/home/306-re...conversion
Colour Coded Bumpers - Spray up the black bumper strips to match the colour of the rest of the car. Under £20 of rattle cans should be enough to do the entire car.
Colour Coded Door Handles - Spray the handles up with the rattle cans youve got left over from colour coding the bumpers or buy some new handles and bolt them on. Phase 1 and 2 have the door handles bolted on so should be easy. Phase 3 they are riveted on so are difficult to get off! £8
Side Strips - The phase 1 or 2 black side strips are one of the main things that look the car look dated. Either you can colour code these as above or you can swap them for the Phase 3 items. You should be able to pick up an entire set of p3 strips for under £15. A few extra holes may be needed though!
Rear Boot Lid - The phase 1 and 2 boot lid have a massive rubber seal all the way around the glass along with a black strip along the bottom. The phase 3 doesnt have this and looks a lot cleaner. Its possible to replace the entire boot lid which is a straight fit however you may need to get handy with a bit of rewiring. Some boot lids of higher spec models may come with a gti spoiler too. You should be able to pick up a decent Phase 3 boot lid for way under £30.
Phase 3 Side Skirts - The Phase 3 comes with side skirts. There is a difference between 3 and 5 doors so make sure you get the right ones. £30
Phase 3 Rear Bumper - The Phase 3 rear bumper is a little bit shorter than the Phase 1 and 2 items but it does come colour coded and has an exhaust cutout for your after market exhaust. £30 should see you getting one in decent condition.
