Hello,
Just bought this yesterday so thought I'd register to the forum and start a car thread up.
It's a 2.0 HDi with 130k on the clock, it has a few dents here and there as well as rust on the boot lid. Was advertised as £600 but managed to get it down to £500.

Looks like a smart base. What are the plans for it?

Going to tidy it up first by replacing panels etc
Then I'm going to get a straight through turbo back exhaust and remap it.
Just picked this up;

Great colour, as others have said, excellent base...
Really dislike the wheels though!

It was a simple question really, and I concur....the bumper, drivers wing and front and rear door look a slightly different shade to the rest of the car, making it look like they're replacement panels.

Its just the camera I think... Afterall, if you were changing anything surely it'd be that rear bumper!

Definitely looks like at least 2 different shades of bianca on that car but its dd that the shell., bonnet and grille are 1 shade but all 4 doors and both wings are a different shade.
At a guess I'd say it was probably made when pug were changing the shade of bianca and the doors are older than the chassis or something.

To avoid this, the shell + doors and other bolt-ons are all sprayed at the same time with the same batch of paint in car factories.

Okay, so here's the exhaust that Slam Wagon is talking about. ![[Image: ugy3umyb.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/30/ugy3umyb.jpg)
Got to love the heart! It will be coming off though when I get a new straight through system.

I've took the wheel trims off. Does it look better with out?
![[Image: aneta7ud.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/31/aneta7ud.jpg)
I've also fitted wind deflectors as you can see.
I've also fitted 55w 6k HIDs. I'll see how I go on with them at night, if I get everyone flashing me due to brightness I'll take them out. I only have a picture of them on during the day.

If you're going to use HID's in the stock lights, H7R's are a better bet as the top of the arc is capped to stop upwards glare

Problem I've come across at the moment is that the ones currently for sale also come with daft angel rings and/or day light running lights! Im trying to find ones that are as OEM looking as possible.

Good luck, most are angel eyes.. although you could retrofit a set of projectors to the stock headlights if you've got some time/money/patience etc.. lol

Nein, there just normal reflector units although they'd probably be easier to retrofit a projector to
