    Also bid on a set of alloys on ebay(postage is £40 :(!) and a blue and black peugoet(not your usual style) steering wheel.

    Check out www.shiply.com unless they are the other end of the country, I bet you could get them couriered for less :D

    Is it really worth throwing good money at a high mileage S Reg Peugeot?

    I would just give it a good clean and save your money for something a bit better.;)

    I meant 3d text plates with Aberdeen badge..decided to save my pennies my private plates are new enough. Got back wiper/arm on tonight, gave it a quick wash and did the metal sourounding the door on the inside (when doors open) TOok my s reg plates off, ready for private plate when its transfered over. 1 thing, under the back number plate theres a black sticker that goes the length of the plate. I now see its because theres a bit of rust. How can i make this look better(the black tape, rust will be hidden behind plate)

    Just going to give it a wax/get the rims that are on a good scrub and keep it clean enough. Car mats and mud flaps will improve inside and out a little when they get here in the next few days. Just need seat covers(even if just for the front) and to get the interior, dashboard etc glowing. Anyone got any links to some good cheap products for this?
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    try Teflon coating and flame type shades on the glasses which will modify the look of your car and it shines like a new one

    Put a big sheet of metal on the front that nearly touches the ground like on race cars. Install lexus lights on the back. Put a big drainpipe over the exhaust so it sounds louder. And always drive in 2nd gear. Also put those alloys on that keep spinning after the car stops. Then the girls will feel weak at the knees.

    that sounds like good idea

    Fancy text on plates just makes me think that you think your above the law. A right plonker.

    Mate bought a kit from ebay to make & sell his own, He got stopped after 3 days & fined £30 for his own.

    Keeps offering to do mine, No thanks.
