BOUGHT!!!! Hopefully collecting on sunday if its ready! pictures coming soon!!

i went for the Polaris Blue in the end as i couldnt find a flame red one that wasnt automatic, but i think in the end ive made the right choice!!

Nice mate, glad to hear you finally found one. Can't wait to see it!

Alway's liked the 406 Coupe, must be something to do with the pininfarina stylin'

Got anything special in mind for it?
Posted By: Cali_16v Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 2nd Feb 2006 10:29am
Is that the pale blue colour or the bright blue, both very nice colours, and what engine is it. hope its the 3.0 V6 200ish brake monster
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 2nd Feb 2006 7:56pm
quick tech spec:

Polaris Blue (the really bright one with a tinge of green flip in it)
3.0 24v v6 engine 210bhp
brembo brakes,

as far as mods go im keepin it subtle,

code in all the side strips and black bits, some 18" wheels lower it and possibly an exhaust but its just had a new one put on so shame to waste it. paying for it on sunday and collecting the sunday after i hope

Watch this space!!!

Posted By: jimbo4x4 Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 6th Feb 2006 12:49am
Mmmm, can't go wrong with momo's matey, they're gorgeous and they'll suit the car too.
Posted By: Cali_16v Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 6th Feb 2006 10:14pm
will stand out like a limp willy in a porno, quality.
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 6th Feb 2006 10:26pm
wish they wud!, had a call from halfords today those wheels are 2005 stock so they cant get hold of them anymore, gona see if i can get hold of them anywhere else where they may have reserve stock maybe, otherwise ill have to pick some different ones.. GUTTED
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 6th Feb 2006 11:17pm
what do we think of soem oxigins?

[Linked Image]
or the none limited edition Momo GTR's?

[Linked Image]

still look damn sweet but not quite as kick ass as the Ltd Editions frown
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 6th Feb 2006 11:32pm
IDEA OF THE CENTURY!!!!! how much do u think sprayforce would charge to paint the lettering in the same as the limited edition???
Posted By: Cali_16v Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 7:17pm
it would cost a lot.

still do it if you have the money. or just leave them plain, still look sweet as a nut
Posted By: Johnny Alan Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 7:27pm
paint it yourself the lettering is that small that any inperfection wont stand out, and i dnt think it will be much to get done properly, speak to pete in automotion I £50-£100

i love automotion smile go there matey
Posted By: scoop Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 8:17pm
Personally,i think momos are pretty damn xpensive,especially in 18". Any other 5 spoke designs u like?
Posted By: Gary Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 9:21pm
flat kahn five spokes would suit it a treat
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 9:28pm
turns out now momo wheels are rare as rockin horse shit at the moment anyway, gona be april b4 anyone can get hold of any momo wheels brand new! so its either wait or pick somethin else unfortunatly...

gary put up a pic of them wheels, or if anyone else knows of some good 5 spoke 18"'s put a pic up for me ! gona start lookin for others now,

cant have deep dish rims without gettin spacers though, cos of the brembo brakes on it, cheers for your help guys!
Posted By: jimbo4x4 Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 9:41pm
Rare is good! Wait for them, I would, they'll suit the car so well. Could lower it in the meantime or something.
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 7th Feb 2006 9:51pm
ive got them on order jimbo, with the option of changin my mind just came across these, but im not sure if multi-spoke are gona be as nice as the momo's..... what are your thoughts..

[Linked Image]
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 8th Feb 2006 1:50am
decided after much thought, theres nothin i like as much as the momo's they are the perfect wheels, and like the perfect pint of guiness worth waiting for, will wait to get it lowered though just incase i lower it too much or not enuf and then it looks crap or have to get it done again, 5 weeks will go quite quickly i hope! thumbsup

4 days to go!!!
Posted By: stubbzy Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 8th Feb 2006 9:24am
Lookin forward to seein this mate. I know they are quick!
Posted By: kenpotaz Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 8th Feb 2006 9:44am
Tho' the Oxy's are nice, I think U made the right choice with the Momo's.

your lookin forward to it!!! i cant wait to get my hands on it on sunday! the days are going so slowly for me this week feels like i been waitin a month for it already!

ordered a green induction kit for it today shud add roughly 5 to 10 bhp, not puttin that on till my 3 month warranty has ran out though.
Posted By: spinking Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 8th Feb 2006 7:14pm
Nice motors them i like it.

Them wheels look nice think they will set the car off nice.
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 9th Feb 2006 11:59pm
cheers tupac and thanks everyone for your help, gotta wait possibly till roughly the 1st of april for the wheels though! which is crap, and if anyone got a trolley jack or axel stands i may need to borrow them to put the wheels on as i dont trust standard peugeot jacks, they too flimsy for my liking,
Posted By: jimbo4x4 Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 10th Feb 2006 12:19am
If you wanna pop round to mine when you get the wheels mate I'll give you a hand with them. Got a trolley jack here and an airline to put the nuts on with. Takes three minutes max to fit four wheels smile

Posted By: jimbo4x4 Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 13th Feb 2006 12:04am
It's gorgeous mate, absolutely stunning. I read a report on these once that said they deserved a prancing horse on the badge for the styling. I can't help but agree with that, it's just so sleek. Looking forward to seeing it in person, sorry i couldn't be at mnr.
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 13th Feb 2006 12:45am

Those brembo calipers are facking huge! Gutted we couldn't get the front wheels on, give me a bell when you've got the spacers.

Back ones have gone on a treat, really suit the car.

Been trying for ages to get these pics up but adobe photodelux seems to have flucked up smack Nevermind, i'll try again tomorrow for ya mate.
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 14th Feb 2006 10:57am

Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 16th Feb 2006 12:13am

Posted By: Johnny Alan Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 16th Feb 2006 9:06am
looks nice, remember to carry some of the old short bolt when you have to put your spare wheel on.
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 16th Feb 2006 5:58pm

I had the same mpg problem in my 325 but when you press the loud pedal its worth it.

Nice wheels sits alittle high though you goung to lower it?

Posted By: scoop Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 17th Mar 2006 9:25pm
with this flurry of cash uve recieved from the 106 will we be seeing some mods coming thick and fast or the money going elsewhere?
Posted By: SL1D3R Re: SL1D3R's Peugeot 406 Coupe - 23rd Mar 2006 5:11pm
