Well lads, couldnt find a 306 that suited me, soooo i bought a 406..........
Hmm might be the wrong forum but i'll batter on anyways 
Was ten minutes over the road from me and its miiiiiint so i couldnt say no 90bhp Hdi  3 months tax aswell Andbought it very cheap
Plans for it now are:
Put it through the nct.
Alloys
Lowered
Front splitter.
Here's a picture of it beside the 306, which has changed a bit also

Firstly, can i just say the 306 looks FAR better without that awful sunstrip! 
Secondly, i think the 406 could look pretty damn good slammed on its arse, with a decent set of alloys. As with the 306, i dont think itll need much more than that, maybe a few subtle body mods, but nothing too extreme! Look forward to seeing where you go with it.

Welcome to club Big-red-406
Nice cars, the 306 looks spot on and the 406 has lots of potential.

Yaay 406 fwends!! I assume you're going to be doing something about the power (or lack thereof), it's comically slow isn't it! 
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

See the plan is keep the 406 as a daily, cheap to keep on the road tbh. lower it and alloys and thats all ill do, lower it sensible too, 40 or 60... not 80 or 100 like most irish ones
Aaaand then save for a s15 be a bit of a jump alright but i waaaant on, love them....
And hopefully have a turbo project on the side
